Nostalgia is a powerful drug.

I think we are just stupid enough to write Disney a blank check for vacations every year forever and we still got to pay once we are there!

Haha sometimes I wonder am I really having that great of time here or am I just hooked because of the nostalgia? I think the answer is somewhere in the middle. Some trips are great. Others aren’t. But I think I have a better time overall with the family on average than most other places I go. Went out to breakfast with the family last Saturday morning at this cool little spot within walking distance of our house. It was one of the most miserable meals I’ve ever had. Food was ok but my 1.5 year old daughter just decided she didn’t want to sit there for an hour and she let us know about it. My wife and I joked how a day at Disneyland is easier than going out to Breakfast as you are constantly moving and the kids are constantly entertained.

Whats the best and worst restaurant in Downtown Disney?

Haven't tried all the restaurants in DTD so can't say for certain, but I really liked Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen (good food for a reasonable price and the beignets are better than the ones in Disneyland) and detested Napolini (average pizzas but way overpriced).

Just whatever you do. NEVER EVER get the Bananas Foster beignets.

Don't know if it's just me, but has anyone been getting more Disneyland VIP Tour ads on Instagram as of late? It struck me as odd that they started advertising the program more aggressively.

All the influencers are pushing them, too

I never liked orange soda, but after drinking Orange Fanta in Italy and Europe in general, I know that I’ll never drink our version here ever again.

They have similar versions at Epcot

When you try to be culturally appropriate but step in it big time.

If this article is correct, I have to wonder what the Disney team was thinking.

Maybe they shouldn't let this guy get their rocks for them?

Disney, and other large corporations, need to back off of coming out and pushing comments on political issues. Please focus on your corporate mission, and if a small portion are going to walk out if you don't....LET THEM GO ! All of these people are trying to shape things through their companies which should not be allowed. Do it on your own time and don't hold the company you work for hostage. Losers.

Disney and other large corporations are free to speak on politics as they please. Many of them speak on politics without even speaking at all.

Obviously. The point is they re not speaking about these issues because they want to or because they actually care but only because they feel pressured.

Tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of my grandfather's passing and I am just looking at all of the photos of us together is Disneyland.

The only photos of my entire childhood where I was actually happy and not masking were at Disneyland with my grandparents. I was so lucky to have them.

Not all of them.

If it’s that disappointing to fans, simply stop supporting these corporations.
