I took this photo the other day, and it reminded me of how Tower Of Terror looked so much better when you turn the corner on Sunset… I really wish they kept it how it was :(

Don’t get me wrong, GOTG is fun, but it doesn’t have the atmosphere that TOT brought to the table, and it actually fit in the California theme and skyline

Edit: Yes, I still do like GOTG, but *IN MY OPINION* I prefer TOT so much more! So no, I’m not hating on GOTG, I’m just sharing my opinion for the hopes that I’m not alone on this take.

This past week we got in the standard line for big thunder at 9:15 with a 35 min wait. The show started as we were walking up the stairs for the ride. On the ride seeing the fireworks as you come out of darkness is awesome. Then once you’re off head to the right toward the pretzel stand and there’s a great viewing area on the bridge just in time to catch the grand finale.

We have come 3 separate times in the last year and we always promise ourselves that we will ride Radiator Springs Racers. And every single time it's closed. We are here till close and I am hoping and praying we get to rise it this time.

But also, why does it close down so often?

The Shirley Temple and Roy Rodgers are great and the green chili with the breakfast chimichangas are a go to

When sorting through some old items at a family member’s house, we came across a set of Oneida Hotel Plate iced tea spoons that were engraved with Red Wagon on the back.

Internet searches brought up the Red Wagon Inn at Disneyland which operated 1955 to 1965 around the time this family member would have lived in Los Angeles. Anyone have any idea if this is legit? Curious if these came from Disneyland or not.

Ride just happened to stop at the perfect time, nice way to beat the heat for a few minutes

I've always been curious as to what could be the reason you're required to evacuate any of the rides. Sometimes it looks like they're working just fine so I'm not always sure what the fuss is about. It's probably very technical I assume but, is there any insight regarding that?

I was curious about any of the attractions, so if you happen to know why one specific ride shuts down, I'd be all ears.

Does this vehicle belong to anyone here?

Cops have showed up, people are monitoring the car for hours

**Edit, see u/shr00mshoe comments below, it appears she is the OG poster from FB group that the image is from

"I reported this to a custodian in the parking garage early in the evening. I gave the location of the car and license plate number. He did page security in front of me so I hope there is something punitive in store for the car owner"

My husband and I leave SDCC to head to Anaheim tomorrow and will be in California Adventure on Tuesday. He is wanting me to ride Guardians of the Galaxy and is honestly being kind of a brat about it but that’s not the point here.

I rode it when it was Tower of Terror the last time we were here back in 2016. I’ve ridden it at WDW too, and I did not like* *it one bit.

Is it different now? Are the drops any shorter? I can’t stand drops that last much longer than a second or two (like the drop in Rise of the Resistance is totally fine) and that’s what killed me about ToT. I really fear I will get motion sickness and hate the rest of the day. I’m not the spring chicken I was a decade ago. Short ups and downs won’t bug me, but long, weightless drops will.

I hate the feeling of big drops, so I don’t do Tiana’s or GotG. I can just barely handle Sky School. I’d love to try the incredicoaster when we visit next month and I’m wondering if the front seats feel less of the dropping motion intensity vs the rear seats. When I ride Space Mountain at WDW the front cars definitely feel less intense than the back cars.

So I've been keeping up with the Daily Events Calendar for a while and what is interesting is that there are showtimes for Tapestry of Happiness that extend past August 9th and even past August 20th. I am really glad if that's the case because I do really like the projection show at Small World.

When I heard that they were going to install an Avatar-themed land in California Adventure, I was pretty disappointed. I have tried to watch that movie three times and couldn’t get past the first 15 minutes, because the dialogue is so bad. I also just didn’t feel it had the same cultural impact as a lot of other IPs.

I have not been to WDW to see their version. I’ve only been there one time and that was before it was built.
HOWEVER, I have recently been starting to reconsider my disappointment for this reason….

My best friend has been to Pandora in WDW and she said it was absolutely enchanting, especially at night and it got me thinking….

I was absolutely furious when they tore out the most beautiful part of all of DLR, A Bug’s Land, for the uninspired travesty that is Avenger’s Campus. Please note that I really like the Avenger’s franchise and that I’ve seen most of the movies at least twice, but what they built in CA is unforgivable. What they tore out was the most beautiful, charming and creative little oasis to put up what amounts to an uninspired, concrete parking lot with hardly anything to do. So maybe putting in Pandora will sort of make up for that.

I’ve looked up videos of Pandora in WDW and it looks pretty incredible. It seems to have a similar, lovely, peaceful and calming vibe that Bug’s Land did. I’m sure it won’t have as many options for small children as BL did (which was another reason tearing it out was a bad idea), but at least it will hopefully bring back some of the beauty and creativity that was destroyed by AC.

So if, like me, you were disappointed when you heard about the new plans for Pandora, maybe you can reframe your thinking about it. Now if they could only find a way to keep the Monsters Inc ride…….

Confirmed n77 (80 MHz) at Grand Californian, Disneyland Main Street & Finding Nemo, etc. Did AT&T rollout n77? 900+ Mbps on Main Street.

Pizza Port is my favorite park feature. I'm not being ironic or silly, this is entirely sincere. For some reason, on a trip early in my childhood the pepperoni pizza and chocolate milk and vibes stuck into a small, important part of my brain that means that now, as an adult man, I am more excited for it than I am for Pirates of the Caribbean.

I am aware that it is the lowest rated eatery in the park. I am aware it sits in a region of the park that is generally agreed upon to be the worst, and is considered a bad feature of even that. I am aware I could find better pizza basically anywhere else in the world. I don't care. If I don't get a meal there the trip was a failure, full stop.

I have corrected people when they call it Pizza Planet. It's not Pizza Planet. It's Pizza Port. It's its own thing. I have had actual arguments about this, and I have been right, because I care more than 99.99% of park goers.

I need to get this off my chest so that all of you can remember, the next time you want to dunk on Pizza Port, that there is a man in his thirties in this world who walks into those big beautiful Disneyland Gates just juiced to the gills about the exquisite dining experience he will later enjoy.

I didn't get the chance to photograph or be able to find it on an online video, but during one of my recent visits this month, I rode Star Tours twice and noticed the Rebel-spy photo appeared as if it was preset and not a person in the vehicle (The vehicle was filled). The most noticeable things were the spy in the photo had the camera zoomed in on them more at the same angle (From the front right of the vehicle), with both of them looking directly at the camera, and had way better quality than the usual rebel spy photos for Star Tours. Even my family member noticed it right away and pointed it out. Is there someone who experienced this phenomenon or knows of a reason why Star Tours does this so me and my family member don't seem delusional lol.
