I love how Lady is a purebred cocker spaniel, Tramp is maybe a terrier mix, and yet they still somehow managed to reproduce three purebred cocker spaniels and one “purebred” terrier mix.

WILDEST THEME PARK HOTEL EVER!
Phantasialand’s new steampunk Charles Lindbergh hotel is NUTS in the best way! Though accessed from the street, it not only extends into the park’s new Rookburgh area, it actually sits In the middle of the park’s new coaster while also providing theming and live background characters (the hotel guests) for the new land. The tracks burrow through the structure and zip alongside the hotel walkways, rooms snd restaurant. Riders fly within a few feet of hotel guests on the balconies.
From the narrow, cylindrical airship passenger rooms to the insane level of detailed storytelling, this hotel looks unique and absolutely smazing. Never seen anything like this. Bucket list!!!!
Mind completely blown starting at 31:14 in the video.

It's a scorcher in the Disneyland area. Perfect for laying some concrete. Looks like you'll be walking in style on this new entrance path!

Nothing like having a celebration on 9/11. They couldn't pick the week after?

Originally the next D23 was to be in 2021, right?

Yes, D23 occurs every two years.
So I just saw a vlog (DSNY) that showed Belles village, the beautiful Beast Castles facade and the very detailed interior castle queue and I think I may have been a little harsh on the new BatB ride. Of course this doesn’t really change the ride experience and may even work against itself as it could build guest expectation through the roof but I now have a much more compete picture of the whole attraction/ mini land. Really great work by WDI... up until the ride experience. After watching it again today for the third time I think the Be our Guest scene is fine as it continues to build as opposed to the long, static Something There scene. Still think they needed to build some suspense before throwing you into that scene. I think with just a little more build up though the west wing etc before Be our Guest, a couple more intimate hallway / bedroom scenes scenes between all the dancing and a proper climax and it could have been a really great and well rounded attraction. They just had to break up all the sing along / dancing stuff.

I don't get why the castle on the outside its the unchanted version but once we get inside the castle is enchanted and later on the ride we see the castle go from enchaned to normal. why didn't they build the un-chanted version for the outside?

Because it wouldn't please the Instagram influencers or the vloggers

Same reason why Walt Disney gave a big thumbs down to an aged and abandoned looking Haunted House at Disneyland.
Well fortunately for you I read the backstory on the Disney Parks blog. It just so happens that the Enchantress doesn’t enchant the castle until we walk through the castle. That’s when it all happens. Very much how we all happen to be walking into Avengers Campus 5 seconds after the Collectors Fortress KABLAM’d there: which is why the Avengers haven’t walked over 10 feet to save the Guardians yet.
