If they're flying in influencers, it may be significant.

Certainly could be.

Although they have also flown in people for more minor things haha, we will see!

My guess since EGW is about to break ground is that its to discuss that and the future of DLForward.

RoA expansion!

It’s officially lent so it’s fried fish sandwich season yall. You know where you can find me Friday but where is the fish sandwich at Disneyland this year? The one at Hungry Bear a couple years ago was great.

Who knows for how much longer, they just removed their Zip goodbye sign a couple days ago, making all references to it now gone from all Disney Parks.

Tokyo Disneyland replaces classic Splash Mountain sign — sparking backlash as critics slam ‘woke’ move

The House of Mouse has removed the only surviving “Have a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Day” sign at the exit of Splash Mountain at Disney Tokyo, eagle-eyed observers said. The original sign had th…

So clearly OLC is not as nostalgic as some would hope, and would guess that even Splash's days at TDL might be numbered.

This is laughably bad disinformation. The song still plays pretty much everywhere in Tokyo, including in the hotels, on the monorail, and in the queue for the ride. It is only this one sign they changed. Interestingly enough, it was the one sign to predominantly feature the former sponsor KAO. And what did they replace the slogan with? Well, it’s the exact same slogan that was on there from 1992 to 2015.

You can take it however you want, it was a story reported on in multiple publications, and it may or may not be a precursor to something else down the line, you can decide for yourself if you want to take it more than at face value.

Also wasn't the song removed (at least for awhile) from most locations in TDLR starting in 2022? Maybe it was brought back in some loops recently but as far as I remembered it was being removed from all locales within the Resort except Splash itself. I can't link to articles I found on it because they go to the site that won't be named, but you can do a search yourself.

Today I learned that, according to Yesterland, Cocina Cucamonga and Lucky Fortune switched places at some point?!?!?

I totally see it when I look at the pictures, for the record. I just didn't know this was done and am wondering when it happened. See below:

Our next Golden State district is Pacific Wharf. At an outdoor seating patio, a small, but popular, Mexican restaurant and a large, but less popular Asian restaurant face each other. How do you suppose the park could deal with these disproportions?​

It was some sort of rights renewal issue that was taken care of rather quickly. I’ve had ears on the ground since. It still plays pretty much everywhere.
