Yeah. It’s weird. Didn’t used to be like this. I wonder if there’s a recurring issue on that side of the park? Seems coincidental these attractions are all adjacent.

Indy, Mansion, & Big Thunder opened at 9. Pirates opened around 9:45. Rise opened around 11 or 11:30.
Pirates also tends to be down a good bit at WDW. I wonder if it's an issue with the ride system. And of course Rise is down a good bit at WDW because, well...

The WDW counterparts for the others (Dinosaur currently instead of Indy) aren't down nearly as often as the DL versions. I don't understand it. But you could be right that it could be an issue at that side of the park.

I like his movies, but what an attitude. As if there's no use for female characters but for something to look at, and Jessica couldn't possibly evolve to be more than just the femme fatale.
Did you watch Roger Rabbit? That doesn't even describe her character at all.

Also some women are built differently than others and it's very victorian of someone to say they need to cover up.

Did we watch the same film?

We did, but his comments say that he doesn't remember making it.

Yes, women have different body shapes. I'm not saying change her body shape* at all. I'm saying change the costume so that she's still got her body type but is covered up and make her kind of a bad *ss in the second one. This isn't a Victorian attitude either; real actresses have been asking "yeah, can this costume cover things better? Please?"

*Not that Jessica Rabbit is representative of a real woman. She'd be a freak of nature with those proportions, and she'd also be having major back problems.

That's not what her character is. She is 30's night club jazz singer along the lines Billie Williams. Granted she is the cartoon version so things are exaggerated just like they were in cartoons of the time.

Her looks are literally explained in the movie “I’m not bad I’m just drawn this way”

Her whole character is about how she is nothing like the first impression she gives (although she is not above playing into them to get what she wants.)

It's a personal preference how someone wants to dress and no one would question a less curvy woman for being in a slim fitting dress, but if a curvy woman does it it's bad?

I'd hope most actresses can choose what wardrobe they are comfortable with.

I just find the messaging from the director mixed cause her character in the film is actually a multidimensional character and isn't a fem fetale.

I'm not even a Roger Rabbit fan by any means even though I appreciate the film making that went into it.

That's very true, it's completely over the top ridiculous.

Really like how they decorate Toontown for Christmas. It gives me DCA mid century Christmas vibes which I prefer to the more traditional Christmas feel at DL/ Main Street. Overall Toontown 2.0 feels much livelier and is very pleasant at night. The El Capitoon theatre and its marquee lights go a long way.

A lot of the Christmas lights were up across the park last night and I didn’t mind it all. Certainly beats pumpkins and snow in 100 degrees in August.
