Someone should give Chapek a quiz on Disneyland and WDW history.
I figure, if you're gonna run the place- you should at least know what came before.

That casting couch at DCA wasn't a gag. I had a great time.

^^^^^^ This. And then release the results to the public. In fact, we should be the ones who create the questions.

Yesterday was the slowest day I've ever seen at Disneyland. Every ride was basically walk on, all day. Longest I saw Pan was 20 minutes. Space was 10 most of the day. Touring Plans reports it as a 1/10 for crowds.
Was kind of surreal to be honest. Instead of rushing around, we spent like 2 hours on Main Street eating, browsing, and just enjoying an empty Disneyland.
Today's looking like it's just as slow, so I guess I know what I'm doing today...

7 minute drive to Mickey and Friends
When I use an acronym like ROTR or IASW or read an acronym in another’s post, in my mind I’m sometimes saying it as a word like ROTOR for ROTR and sometimes spelling it out like I-A-S-W for IASW but never am I translating it to the actual name of the attraction as I’m reading it even though my brain recognizes it as said attraction. I guess that’s kind of the point of using the acronym right? Is this how it is for most people? Does anyone actually translate the acronym into the full name of the attraction as they are reading?

Just got the Marc Davis book(s) in the mail. Holy cow, it's (they're) heavy!
Any pre-ordering buyer's remorse I had disappeared the moment I saw the art on the box. Cannot wait to get home and start reading.
For a book that cost $109 on sale, it stinking better be really heavy! LOL
It’s two volumes too. I hope I get around to actually reading it. I’m way behind on my Disney books. A couple of them are still in the shrink wrap.

Preach, brother. Have piles of Disneyland books I've bought but haven't actually read.

Some I do, some I don't. If there's a pattern, I don't know it.
Wow. That’s impressive.

I translate it as I'm reading, because those are not common enough acronyms and spelling it out sounds weird to me, and sounding it out even weirder. Now far more common acronyms like lol or af, I read lawl/el oh el and aff/ ay eff. These pronunciations are commonly said aloud in public so it doesn't sound weird in my head.
I still find the acronyms useful (when I understand them). Visually it's easier on the eyes having one block of space representing a ride rather than a whole phrase. Rise of the resistance looks like text without paragraphs, ROTR looks like text with paragraphs. It's also more organized and you know it's one thing, almost like putting quotes on a phrase to show that the words are one thing. And you can type it faster.
