Join me as I share my passion for game shows, theme parks, simulation games, travel, interactivity, and whatever.

Just have a couple of Magic Key lanes! Just do something that isn't contempt for the customer.

They literally do it all out here in WDW.
Disneyland ticket gates are an absolute god damn nightmare right now because everyone that bought the discount ticket doesn't live in Southern California, and they're checking IDs and arguing with CMs. Every line.

They had one specifically for the Guardians queue too under the starblaster.

So many DJs around the park last night.

The hottest party at #EpcotNYE is the giant Silent DJ party with 5 different channels (Latin, modern top 40, R&B, EDM, and Disney).

The DJs are all up on stage in their appropriate channel color!

Memories of technology past at Mission: Space.

I actually used this HP Pocket PC rx1955 that ran Windows Mobile 2003 in High School!

Shout out to the Guest Experience Team CMs who are literally dealing with a man yelling "BUT THOSE AREN'T RIDES, RIGHT?" "NOT RIDES!" with no clear deescalation path. #EpcotNYE

Queue for Guardians (posted at 3.75 hours) goes entirely around the plaza in front of the Starblaster, out by the Joffrey's cart.

Makes me miss Energy and it's easy to ride all day high-capacity.

UPDATE: They gave up on the slow close.

Cannot believe they got Pirates open for like 30 minutes and then dumped the queue and closed it again. Rough.
It's 7:15pm and Pirates is still down.
Pirates is dumping the queue.

My whole family processed our APs at this Ticket Booth and got our pictures taken here every year at Christmas. 😪
JUST NOW: Vacant ticket booths at Disneyland Resort are being demolished in preparation of a brand new Porto’s Bakery location coming soon to Downtown Disney.

Checked out Beak & Barrel. It's...fine.

Enjoyed the drinks, and the theming, but also not my jam. People really into it even with limited menu and time restrictions.

Bizzare view.
