You make a lot of fair points and you are probably right that I'm part of the key demographic. I'm a vacationer, so I always buy Genie+.

TDA has a Vice President in charge of "Guest Arrival Experience", remember?
They just aren't sure that this whole Disneyland thing is really gonna work out. I mean, will it even be there in two years? It could be a flash in the pan, like many amusement parks are. It's just not a wise investment to spend the money on things that make the Guest Arrival Experience better and more pleasing to the customers.
Best to wait another couple years to see if this whole Disneyland thing sticks around before you spend that money on that customer junk.

They also have photographers scan your band. No phone sillyness at WDW. The rides photos that don't autolink have magic band touch points you hold your wrist up to. No writing down codes to get your photos.In WDW, you wear your MB and it knows what photo belongs to you. It links automatically to your account, has for years. If you don't have a MB, you just tap your ticket on a sensor at the end.
I don't know how it works; I'm an accountant. I can explain unearned revenue from theme park tickets, but not that.
Magic Bands at land are almost useless. I have 8 at home I'd use but Disneyland decided you could only use the ugly new light up version there.

Does the new Yeti at Matterhorn have a name or are we still calling him Harold? I know original Harold is over in Guardians.

Accurate, lol. The inventory one...I have definitely thought that one.
So the other day my dad and I literally had a debate about how Disney preselling tickets benefits them (the answer is less expense for labor at the front of the park, but they have unearned revenue on their balance sheet). This was a fairly long conversation. Idk why he was arguing with me, the actual accountant.

I’ve learned to stop arguing with people about topics related to my fields of study when they haven’t a single clue lol. I’m sure you won that argument, easily.Accurate, lol. The inventory one...I have definitely thought that one.

Jack Plotnick put out another video today. I have no idea what the plot of this one was, but it's funny. I particularly like the crackling tobacco sound the cigarettes make when one of the ladies takes a drag (get it?). 
These are PG-I3 rated, so not for little children.
Full Disclosure: these videos from Jack Plotnick only make much sense if you are the type who can instantly know that "Harriet" is Harriet Burns, "Mary" is Mary Blair, "Blaine" is Blaine Gibson, you can recognize the Julie Andrews musical production number from Disney World's grand opening TV special the moment she shows up in the white dress with yellow vest, etc., etc. In other words, you really need to be a Disneyland nerd with an eye for detail, or else it's just a little too weird.
Even Fuller Disclosure: It might have helped that I discovered this new video at 7pm, just a few minutes before I was going to make myself a dry martini with a twist. It's probably one of those videos you should have a cocktail or a glass of wine with, if you are so inclined. Or maybe for this one make a nice summer tomato aspic?
Seriously, who approved spelling it "THRU"???

Might be too soon to tell but it doesn’t appear that MMRR has to made it into our regular rotation of DLR rides despite it having reasonable wait times. First and foremost the kids don’t really ask to go on it. Second, it’s still located in Toontown which is a little off the beaten path which also might contribute to why the kids aren’t asking to go on it.
The ride is missing something. Or maybe just multiple little things. A better climax, more physical elements. The biggest thing i think is that it just doesn’t feel like you stepped into a cartoon. I’d argue that I feel more like I “stepped into a cartoon” on Roger, Pooh or any of the Fantasyland dark rides.

Anyone who hasn't seen it needs to check out Paddington 2. One of the best family movies ever, up there with Mary Poppins.

It suffers from many pitfalls of modern WDI.
The insistence of using the "You're all recruits and a part of the adventure!"trope.
An over reliance on projections.
Show scenes that are too large without enough going on- it feels like you're in a warehouse.
And, it should have used the classic hand drawn versions of the characters.
Its a perfectly passable attraction but it won't be a classic in 25 years like the best of Disneyland's offerings.

I think the big thing is the location. We do the DHS version regularly but this one we almost forgot was even there. We tend to find the same thing with Roger as well. I agree with others that they should have used the traditional animation. Although I actually like the newer animation style, I think the classic would work better.
Though I dislike the DL version of Pooh (sorry!)
