Sometimes trying to be funny, sometimes not.

If it’s funny then I probably wasn’t trying and if it isn’t then I probably was.
PSA: you may think theme parks (especially Disneyland) will be empty today because “everyone will be watching the Super Bowl.”

This isn’t true! Super Bowl Sunday is one of the busiest days you can go to Disneyland! Because there are thousands of people also thinking it would be a good idea to go!

The trolly at California adventure closes today.

I want to say I’ll miss it more than I will, but honestly the park is so busy most of the times these days and the walkway from the entrance so congested with people, it often felt like an accident waiting to happen.

I’ll still miss it a bit though.

NEW: Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano will serve its last guests on May 10 and Muppet*Vision 3D and PizzeRizzo will have their last day of operations on June 7 as Disney starts work on the Monsters, Inc.-themed land at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Reposting this as a thread because apparently I still don’t know how to use BlueSky…

Some thoughts on the new Haunted Mansion gift shop—

I don’t cause a riot, yeah, the exterior sticks out badly, especially when you are walking from Bayou *cough critter cough* Country back towards Haunted Mansion.

Wednesday = park day for me. Looking forward to seeing the Haunted Mansion gift shop at DL for my own eyes.

I know the AI art is gone, and I’ve seen the OUTSIDE many times. I’m interested to see how the inside compares to momento mori at MK.

It’s been 16 days since I’ve been in a theme park and by the time I go to one on Wednesday it will be 19. Not a complaint, more an observation.

The scary thing is I legitimately don’t know if that’s happened since the last year at this time post-holiday block outs.

My life is weird.

It only took *checks calendar* 1,854 days. To roll out their streaming service. On the TVs in the resorts. That are already connected to their network.

Left hand and right hand not knowing what the other is doing.

To be clear, I’m in favor of this change, it just took way longer than I expected.

Once again, left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing… afaik, Disney doesn’t sell Magic Bands with USBA chargers and it doesn’t come with a wall wart…

So I guess another thing you need to plan ahead? I always over-pack chargers, by I know I’m an edge case since I’m a bit of a techie.
FYI for DisneyBand+ users on the #DisneyTreasure, the ship only has USB-C outlets, not USB-A like the charging cable, so you will need to bring an adapter to charge your band

With ESPN joining Bluesky, is it too much to hope Disney Parks (especially the Magic Key program) join?

Or because they’re Instagram focused and didn’t really have a presence on that other microblogging site, is that too much to hope for?

It’s probably too much to hope for.

So excited about this. Easily my favorite parade I’ve seen [in person] at a theme park.
NEW: 'Paint the Night' parade finally returns to Disneyland Park on May 16 as part of Disneyland's 70th anniversary celebration.

Hopefully this is a chance to have cast members interact with guests positively in new ways and make checkout simpler and faster, not lay offs and tech issues.

…but it probably means lay offs and tech issues.

To my college professor that did not appreciate me giving pushback when he said, paraphrasing slightly, “no companies pay dividends anymore. It’s an old and antiquated way of doing business.

May I present Exhibit A:
NEW: The $DIS board today declared a cash dividend of $1.00 per share - a 33% jump from the $0.75 paid to shareholders during fiscal year 2024. The dividend will be paid in two $0.50 installments in January and July 2025.

I mean if that’s not ironic, I don’t know what is.

Breaking in the new tumblers this morning. Definitely one of my favorite pieces of #disneyland merch from the last few years. They’re surprisingly good insulating but also fun (though I’d prefer them to be cheaper than $30-something but whatever)

My wife swears I’m only happy if I’m planning a vacation.

Doesn’t matter if it’s for in a month or in a year and a half. Just need something on the calendar.

I’m sure this says something negative about my but I’m trying not to read too much into it.

Thanksgiving at Disneyland surprisingly successful. Lines long but the walkways, restaurants, etc far less busy than I expected. And the Thanksgiving food at Flo’s was good (though less than the pic in the app). Didn’t try the Thanksgiving at wine country - couldn’t do turkey twice in one day…

I think the funniest thing in social media is when people intentionally follow accounts hoping to get a follow back.

Not like that’s wrong or anything, I just personally don’t like to clog up my following list with people I’m not actually interested in following.

It’s odd to me, that’s all.
November 27, 2024 at 9:11 PM
It’s crazy how much this app is suddenly taking off. Seeing more and more influencers list BlueSky as one of their social accounts.

Today's announcement also has me wondering what Disney has planned for Animation Courtyard.

MuppetVision (for being kind of a niche attraction) still got far more traffic than Launch Bay.

Marvel? More Sunset Blvd?

Disney says there is still time to enjoy Rock 'n Roller Coaster and Muppet*Vision 3D. Also about Muppet*Vision 3D, Disney says: "...we are having creative conversations and exploring ways to preserve the film and other parts of the experience for fans to enjoy in the future."

It’s been so long since I regularly posted on ~this type of app~ that I’ve almost forgotten what to post.

Blah blah blah sarcasm blah blah blah punchline. Or something like that.
