Legit shocked this came back this year and they recasted the character after the Studio marketing budget ended.

No "Festival of Holidays" sign this year, at all.

Usually it gets put up when Oogie tortilla gets pulled down.

So, apparently, the #PlayDisneyParks app got a totally new interface on iOS (v3)!?

Android is still on v. 2.35.1 with the older COVID-centric home-UI.

Went once, enjoyed the park but really see no reason to go back until ops or something changes.

If I was doing a multi-park visit on a normal ticket I might go a couple of times to pickup things that I missed, but not in a rush.

A neat park, but not a must do every visit park kinda thing. Mid?
It’s kind of wild that Universal has caught basically 0 flack from the theme park community for building a park that can barely function at a capped 50% capacity and is only really enjoyable if you pay 250+ per person for express.

Disneyland has added "Park Visits" under your barcode, and this must be based on account or pass # or something - because I haven't used this pass every other day this year.

Feels like maybe a renewal tactic or something?

"Look how many visits you've done, you are getting your value out of this."

another good example of the "marketification of everything":

look what this mindset has turned yard sales and thrift shops (formally chill places to buy used stuff) into
i think relatedly, but more pernicious, is the emerging valorization of an ethos of cheating, scamming, and gambling to get rich quick. it's "wall street" vibes but applied to every young person on "main street"
Every country on earth has to face the challenge of organized crime and its influence on politics. It's foolish to think otherwise.

Great trade article on Sizzler and how they are reinventing themselves by going full retro:

Sizzler's Latest Rebirth is About Getting Back to its Roots—Not Reinventing Them
Robert Clark acknowledges this isn’t the first “Sizzler rebirth” he’s been a part of in his 41 years with the company. He began in 1984 when, in a lot of pundits’ eyes, the brand owned and invented a ...

Well, here we are. $150 price increase and now *$1900* for a "pass" that's not really a pass - and there's at least an additional blockout day in 2026 compared to 2025.
