I'm a local who used to go at least weekly but other SoCal theme parks and attractions are getting my money now.

Yup I was right there until they brought the Keys back. Bought a USH annual pass for the first time in years.

My daughter is now 10. When she was younger, every year to Disneyland made perfect sense. But, when you factor in how much work it is to plan a Disney trip (for a non-local), the expensive of a Disney trip, and now all the extra hassles/complications/up-charges that Disney has engineered into it, it just doesn't make sense anymore for us to go frequently. My daughter is now of an age where she can appreciate different kinds of trips. Her age plus the Genie+ nonsense is what tipped the scales for us (and the serious hassle to just eat!).
I'm sure we will be back eventually. But, I think this time it's going to be awhile. My daughter keeps coming up with other places she wants to see.

Is this what Bob Chapek means by more Disney, more timeless, more relevant, and more family?
A father strangling his son - what a wholesome representation of the Disney brand.

It’s an NFT of a property they bought in 2019… the whole thing is celebrating the diversity of content available on Disney+, nothing more, and it’s not really aimed toward kids. To me it seems more like a zany cartoon moment than anything worth dragging Chapek and a quote about Epcot into.

I don't even know what a NFT is.
Not sure if my son has caught on but there is one souvenir that if he asks for will always be bought, no questions asked. The Mickey Mouse Balloons. I remember what those balloons did to me when I was a kid. They were like visual candy. They were the quintessential “souvenir” that said you were at Disneyland. Specifically the red Mickey Mouse balloon in the clear round balloon which if I’m not mistaken first showed up when I was a kid and became like the premium balloon compared to the ones without the clear balloon.
If anyone is leaving the parks at night and not in the mood to eat dinner at Disneyland again, stop at Kaiba for a really good sushi burrito. They turn into a drive though late nights and while I know it sounds like it would be gross, it’s actually pretty good. I just do the shrimp tempura on soy paper. Add Avocado. It has a bunch of greens in there and their steamed rice is done right. It’s really the layering and quantity for me that separate it from a hand roll.

I hope that the animals at the former Big Thunder Ranch are happy and well taken care of, wherever they are. I wonder if they miss us.

Yeah it’s kind of like a pop up farmers market. A lot of vendors have stuff you don’t normally see. But the food tends to be presented in a way that’s meant to end up on Instagram lol
Hahah. I guess sushi burritos are a thing now. It was the first one I ever head but it definitely wasn’t Instagram food. At least not at this place.

Perfect example of why it’s so easy for me to turn away from today’s Disney. The company name means NOTHING now. It’s just another media giant with no vision, no leadership, and nothing to say beyond, “Money? Gimme!”
