It’s like he tried to make a Kim Kardashian clone in a lab and installed it with Kanye software.

I don’t like these people, but she very clearly has shoes on.

Sort of.... according to the article, she is wearing bandages.

Exactly, I didn't know it was from Disneyland at the time but when the same pic of her feet was posted yesterday it clearly looks like some type of Huarache or other type of minimalist shoe where its a very small insole between the foot and the ground.

The bandages look to be holding whatever insole she has on her feet, and I guess some support for her ankles?

 

[Disney Irish]

Although I will say that both her and Kayne are known for walking bare-foot in public. So who know?!?

Might be the only person in this ballpark rooting for Anaheim.

It was a great vantage point for watching the riverboats glide along the Ohio. I love Disneyland, but nothing compares with the real rivers of America.

Just curious: Did they ever finish whatever they were doing to the Adventureland bathrooms? Or is the entrance to the land still a big construction wall?

Still a construction wall where the old green rocks were. And now a new wall is up across from the women's restroom too.

One interesting side effect of the reservation system is that the park actually empties out now in the evening. At least on Sunday nights. I’m talking walk ons to 10 minute waits for all Fantasyland rides not named Matterhorn/ Pan by 7pm. We’ve noticed this on a few trips now. In years past before the reservation system you’d see Fantasyland still full of parents and young kids until 11pm/ midnight.

No spontaneous visits and people making the most “bang for their buck” on their reservation day I suppose. If you have a reservation you are more likely to spend more hours there and make a day out if it. Especially if you have young children. I guess if you’re super local it doesn’t matter what time you get there but they still cut out the spontaneous visits and that affects locals more than anybody.

Any idea when that is going away, if ever?

Haha No. I suspect it’ll be around for a while but you have to wonder if they’ll tinker with it. I can’t imagine they like the park empty in the evening. Especially on days they close at midnight.

If it goes away I would think it would be for day tickets only. I expect Keys keep some type of reservation system like they were going to do with the old APs with the Flex pass.

MMRR feels really lifeless. Doesn’t help that moving Mickey/ Minnie on the balloons and the flags haven’t been moving in quite a while. The scenes that don’t feel “dead” to me are first tunnel with Mickey/ Minnie, Tornado, waterfall scene (because of the neat effect other wise feels dead), city scene and final nighttime park scene. So over half the ride is “fine” but it never finds its groove with lifeless scenes scattered throughout. Doesn’t help that three out of the first four scenes are some of the most lacking.

I will say though they did a really good job with the Toontown redo. It’s actually a destination now and always packed. Really good use of space. Of course this didn’t come without some sacrifices like the fountains although I do really enjoy the new fountain. That splash pad is super weak too and overall Donald’s boat is a downgrade and we lost the waterfall. Overall a very strong net positive with the Toontown Redo. I’d probably say this even without MMRR which obviously takes it way over the top. Roger Rabbit sticks out like a sore thumb and you have to wonder how numbered its days are. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time and even I only ride it maybe 1-2 times a year.

Rr cartoon spin is the 2nd best old school on rails dark ride in dl, second to Alice. We in CA are very lucky to have those 2 darkrides at our park imo

Agreed although something about them putting Jessica in a trench coat made it expendable to me. Alice is the gem of gems and a DL exclusive.

Tokyo Disneyland has special "Starlight Tickets" that get you into the park after 6pm for a discount.

They should offer those types of evening tickets to the public. I know Disneyland used to offer them for conventions at the Anaheim Convention Center, but you couldn't buy one if you didn't have a credential for the specific convention.
