Has anyone ever tried to read after playing Pac-Man? It’s a trip.

Look, I'm all for improving maintenance and uptime, but how about details?

How do I know it's not just empty words?

As framed, unless there's more that wasn't shared here, it's just "we'll do better, trust us!"

Drew seems to believe it and that’s good enough for me.

I don't know Drew from John Q. Public.

What's his track record?

Haha it was a joke

The Micechat article expands on this a bit re: maintenance and uptime, it sounds like they've made a more concerted effort to fix/improve maintenance and reliability issues, and it's resulted in a genuine, measurable increase in attraction uptime, ridership, and guest satisfaction year over year in 2025.

So good for them on that.

Perhaps it’s no coincidence that we saw long lost effects come back like the rope bridge effect on Indy or the not so long lost effects like the canons on ROTR fixed.

I mean, most attractions looked the best I'd seen them look ever in 2025. And tons of things have been fixed.

If we hadn't had to deal with 2020-2024's changes, I'd be saying the park now is the best it's been in a decade.

With everything that's come out, I get the feeling that Thomas Mazloum is here to stay at Disneyland, at least until Avatar opens, and won't be taking over as Head of Parks

Even in 2023, when I last visited Disneyland, I was astounded how great most rides looked (even rides about to close) compared to their WDW counterparts. They just don’t care in Florida. I’ve seen people use “poor condition of rides” to defend certain closures. Then their replacements come and the maintenance is even worse than their predecessors. Clearly the problem is in management.

I really enjoyed the construction walls they put up during that entrance remodel. Modern Disney could never do something this charming.
