Yikes. That looks pretty bad.It is, but I’m referring to the hanging Exit signs they had to add.

Last I knew, it was only table service at MK still, but that may have changed since.Who didn’t see this coming?
Disney Parks Best Bites: April 2021
We have a buffet of food and beverage news in this April 2021 edition of Disney Parks Best Bites. We are listing Earth Month treats along with a returning brunch offering, pickle corn dogs, cereal-sly delicious offerings, and more. Check out alldisneyparks.disney.go.com
Does WDW MK serve booze at their QSR locations? Because I’d be surprised if they stop at just all the TSR locations in DL. Or add more TSR-like locations to serve booze on the east side of the park (like a beer garden in the Motorboat lagoon smoking area).
I was just reminded of a friend telling me-and it was nails on a chalkboard to hear-that they prefer DCA because they serve booze. I’m sure this is what their surveys tell them too.

Still miss Tror. Everyday.As Disneyland reopens this month, I'm reminded of how many poster we've lost here since Disneyland closed. Banned, Deleted, or just no longer actively posting this forum in general just feels a lot emptier without them around.
Hopefully we'll get a few new faces around here once we can actually start talking about new things happening at the parks once again.
It must be. I have not gotten one of those before and I have been flagged for just about everything around here it seems.BTW is this new?

I feel like Disney leaves a lot of money on the table. Why aren’t they selling replicas of the marquee’s found across the park? Where are the Roastie Toastie replicas?
What are you talking about? Disneyland was only popular from the start due to Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars.Right?
But I think I'm most annoyed that Olszewski never finished his Disneyland line. I have his Haunted Mansion piece, and while not a 100% accurate recreation of the Mansion it's a high enough quality piece that I look past it being the wrong shape.

But the rest of his line is no longer being made and is incredibly expensive- which is a shame since I'd love the Castle one and the Main Street Station ones. Like Mansion, neither of these are entirely faithful recreations- the castle did not have that color scheme in 1955, and the Main Street Station didn't have the brick retaining wall for the Mickey floral until the early 2000's or so, before then it was a cement wall- yet both of these are dated '1955'. But, both pieces are incredibly high quality and accurate enough for what they are.

He did Pirates, Main Street, almost all of Fantasyland, the Hub, and some other elements like the Mark Twain and the original Disneyland Harbor Marquee- but he never did Space Mountain, Big Thunder, the Matterhorn, or Splash Mountain. And I'd give my kidney for a Splash Mountain figure like the rest of his work.
They also stopped selling the attraction posters- the Disneyana used to sell beautiful smaller prints of just about every attraction poster. They stopped a few years ago, which is a darn shame and makes no sense since they could offer them on those art kiosks where you order the art to be printed and shipped home.
The sharp decline in Disneyland specific merchandise after the 50th, and especially in the 2010's is indicative of Disney's changing attitude about the park's role in the Disney brand. Disneyland is no longer it's own IP, with it's own attractions, fan base, history. It's now a place for Disney to market their latest IP- the park and its fans be damned. Disney has always used the park to promote its latest films- but there has to be a balance and I fear that balance is being lost.
Like it does wherever it strikes, politics reared it's ugly head and drew lines in the sand that never existed before on this forum. Where the parks were once a welcome break from reality and a chance to spend a day free from thinking in political terms, now it seems almost impossible to separate the two.The new Disneyland forum seems to be focused on making DL as anti-Walt as possible, since unfortunately they're going to be allowed to open after all, as most of the prominent members here that flourished during Covid Virus still support keeping everything shut down and Anaheim being the next Detroit.
As I pointed out in the "We're all supportive of Disneyland being a drunk park except a few outliers" thread, the days of everyone being up-in-arms about Disney selling dolls in the Main Street Theater are long behind us. The new DL forum seems to love Galaxy Edge, despise classic Walt-era attractions and probably have Bob Cheapek shrines in their closets. The traditionalists are mostly gone.
Not uncommon in a lot of settings these days.Like it does wherever it strikes, politics reared it's ugly head and drew lines in the sand that never existed before on this forum.

Agreed. In fact, I'd say it's almost impossible to avoid anymore...Not uncommon in a lot of settings these days.
