I really donāt think DL is all that superior anymore. Sure their are things they do better than us, but I donāt think itās that much of a giant leap anymore. I never liked that āsuperiorityā mindset. Like itās not as good at some things but itās not like MK is a peice of junkTP darling, you should already know the answer.
It is because Disneyland is superior.

Part of it has to do with the āExtra Magic Hoursā offerings for Deluxe Resort Guests.
Also seasonal events such as the HallowParties and other āafter hoursā Events.
You also have to consider there is a lot of money being made by Disney once the Parks close , ironically, particularly with those staying On Propery.
Also closing āearlyā drives sales at Disney Springs ā¦.
All part of the master plan to squeeze as much cash out of you as possibleā¦.?
A small part of it.

It's very odd, isn't it? Especially considering that Disneyland Park has more than double the parkwide ride capacity that Magic Kingdom Park does. Logic and basic math would dictate that would mean Disneyland Park could get away with being open fewer hours per day than Magic Kingdom, but it's the exact opposite. Especially with DCA having an additional 24 rides/shows only about 100 yards away from Disneyland's entrance.
And just for Tiana's Bayou Adventure alone, if it has to spend hours each day closed for technical problems, an additonal 3 or 4 hours of parkwide operation per day would not only give it more hours to operation successfully, but would allow that specific park to have higher customer ratings overall on days that TBA was closed 10+ hours.
A very odd situation the brain trust in TDO has spreadsheeted themselves into at WDW's thinly developed parks.

@lentesta If you guys havenāt already. This would be a great topic for you and Jim to discuss on a future DisneyDish ^ Why WDWās operating hours are less than DLās. Or when exactly this went into effect if in the past it was different/was the same.It's very odd, isn't it?

I love how they have to explain the significance of a plastic figure āsight gagā (barely) and donāt tell us anything concrete about the character other thanThat's Lari! An important part of the attraction, this armadillo necessitated his very own blog post!
Who is Lari the Armadillo? | Disney Parks Blog
Youāve seen him on Tianaās Bayou Adventure, and heās seen you, too. Learn more about Lari the Armadillo and his love of umbrellas and beignets.disneyparksblog.com
My goodness WDI is lost.
A) He is an armadillo.
B) He is a jack of all trades. Watch out for Lari!
A. He is.
B. He is?

The entire experience including, but not limited to, the pre-school "story", the incredibly lame "dialogue", the low-rent "musicians" just rocking back and forth, the nonsensical "shrinking and growing" concept, the bizarrely middle-aged Tiana, and the needless queue details/backstory are all a perfect monument to what WDI has become today.
One will only need to ride this embarrassing mess and then Tokyo's Splash to see a perfect illustration of how far WDI has fallen.

Maybe one of the big announcements at D23 this weekend will be the attempt to fix this attraction

You know what's funny?
Nah...an encanto spinner behind Tiana and Big Thunder to counter Epic Universe.
Geez, this last year or so has really ruined me when it comes to WDW. I think millions of dollars spent to update some bushes and trees at Epcot is turning out to be the final straw for me. They have no balls, no guts.

Hereās the problem, which you hint at: even fully operational, the attraction is maybe a B-
The problem is that the experience is greatly reduced when individual AAs and show scenes arenāt operating properly, and the ride itself seems generally inaccessible to the public for about 20%-30% of a dayās operating hours.

Today while I was in line, one of the glass lighting fixtures at the front fell. The attraction was shut down and when we came back all the glass light things had been removed.

Sounds like great planning and construction.
#Cursed. This is getting serious! You'd think a co-op built on a defunct salt mine would have ward off any evil spirits but it seems Facilier's friends on the other side are having quite the adventure. (hope no one was injured)
Disney, fix your crap!

No one was injured. The funny thing was that nothing caused it, the glass just fell. It almost hit one young lady but it missed. They cleaned it up but there were still some little bits of glass when I went about an hour ago.

No, no, no. They've already countered Epic. Tiana, galaxys edge, toy story land, Moana, tron, guardians! The list goes on. I mean what more can you people want?

Odd, usually Disney threads a steel wire down do any hanging item. The steel wire is the fallback. In case the primary hanging material, let's go.

Yeah, it was odd. There were light bulbs under the glass fixture. This is how things look now:
