They did that, its called Paint The Night. Some of you just don't like the floats or soundtrack....

Paint the Night didn't keep close enough to its roots. The Baroque Hoedown has to run throughout the show in some kind of recognizable adaptation, or it's not the MSEP. I like Paint the Night, but it doesn't have any depth and is a bit short on charm. And, I've tried, really I have, but I just can't suspend my disbelief for that Tinkerbell-on-a-stick. It. Just. Doesn't. Work.

Weird but Disney+ did a surprise launch in the Netherlands with 2 free months leading up to November 12th.

Just got #1 for the day on Buzz. Yes, I make my group ride in a different vehicle on Buzz.

I thought I was the only one who did that!

I like being able to select the gun, and not have anyone messing with the vehicle rotation.

One of many weird things I'm uptight about at Disneyland.

You're preaching to the choir there! Even if its just me and one other person... once we make that turn to the conveyor belt, I don't know them anymore.

What are some of the other things?

This might be worthy of it's own thread... but here are a few of my Disneyland "quirks"...

-Riding Buzz solo
-Sitting in the very back-middle for Mr. Lincoln
-Pretending the blow-darts get me on Indy and falling limp
-Waving to the Blue Bayou diners during Pirates
-Watching Mickey's Polo Team in the Cinema
-Walking directly down the middle of Main St. when I first get in (crowds permitting)
-Thanking Walt as I leave by nodding to the lamp in the firehouse

LOL @ the Indy one

For me, Indy's one of those attractions that the more you actively participate in it, the better it gets.

Nice job! I've broken a million before too.

 

[Mac Tonight]

I don't consider it a successful run for me on Buzz if I don't break a million.

I like to pretend I got speared by the natives on the Jungle Cruise.

I used to be far more consistent in getting 800k+ 5 or so years ago, but now I'm far more inconsistent due to far less frequent visitation and average in the 700,000 range.

Let's just take a second to appreciate the best addition Disneyland's gotten this year. Photo taken at 10:45 am September 12 2019

How many rides do you average on a trip? I'm prone to repeat right away if I don't do that well. I think my record is 4 straight runs. The workers are like, "you again?"

What can I say? It's a great low-wait during the parade/fireworks.

Usually only ride once, Splash is the ride I marathon whenever possible.

Planning on doing a solo rope drop day next week to get as many buzz rides in as possible, need to get my average back up to 1mil+

I used to marathon Pirates and Haunted. I went through a weird phase where I tried to be the last one on the attraction.
Gotta say, having a Pirates boat to yourself is pretty rad. I just don't stay that late anymore.

And now for some Disneyland trivia... It's said that a show used to run here. A show that celebrated golden age and renaissance era Disney Animation through the "imagination" of Mickey Mouse.

Now, the stage lies dormant due to the show's untimely closure a few years back.
