One of the last few "slow times" at Disney World is the last 3 weeks of September. Everyone is back in school and settling back into their routines. October the parks pick back up with fall break from the southeast states. I'm going to guess the parks weren't too busy that night.

No the past weekend was pretty slow all things considered. Yesterday was also beastly hot, like 115, so maybe people bailed early.

Braksgirl posted:Last night, Rise was a walk on so my friend and I jumped in the line. Once we got to the interrogation bit, there was a guy live streaming the ride and being super obnoxious about it. He was hamming it up to get reactions out of the First Order people. He talked throughout the ride. Just generally the worst. People have live streamed this ride years ago. You aren’t covering new ground. Just shut it down and enjoy the ride, man. I had a couple doing this at DHS behind me in line at the joffery's just outside Animation Courtyard.. really bizarre, calling out multiple donations as they came in in the span of 5 minutes. Which reminds me.. is Animation Courtyard just a deadend void forever, now? And I guess they just couldn't get the budget together to finish Woody's BBQ restaurant?

Jose Oquendo posted:I"m going to DLR soon and wondering if anyone seen this happen with Rise there? That park is open pretty late so does it become a walk-on like around 10 or 11pm? Rise at DLR is tricky, it usually closes earlier than anything else. You might want to ask castmembers when you get there, I feel like the ride closes at 8 or 9, even if the park is open until midnight. For the livestreming thing, I saw a couple walk onto the railroad at DLR with a camera a few weeks ago, but I assumed they were just taping stuff and went about our family business behind them. It wasn't until after my kids had a mild meltdown about snacks and we then spent 5 minutes looking for our lost hat under the benches did I realize our family drama was being sent out to random strangers on the internet. gently caress you, rear end in a top hat livestreamers.

If people are livestreaming you and that's not something you agreed to beforehand, I feel like it's a moral obligation to ruin their stream. I'm the sort of guy who would assume I'm an invited guest and start talking to their camera, but I bet there's lots of personal variations.

Now that I know what to look for they stick out like a sore thumb. Thanks for the tips on Rise. I shall keep that in mind.

I get watching for reviews or seeing new sights or something (like the "walking through Tokyo 4k" silent videos with only ambient sound), but I absolutely do not understand (and have a general hate for) personality streamers and vloggers. It's just the next step in lowest common denominator entertainment from reality television and requires even less brain power to consume. It's similar to how kids these days would rather watch garbage youtube stuff that is actively harmful to their development than watch cartoons with plot or educational elements. Disney can't and won't tell people they can't film stuff anywhere in the parks, it would be self-defeating and impossible to enforce just from a labor standpoint. Banning selfie sticks/camera grips/gimbals like Tokyo did won't really do much either. You don't even need a big camera or gimbal these days, plenty of these people just use a pocket camera like the Sony RX100 or their phones, and phones are getting better and better like the built in gimbal-like stabilization in the new iPhone pro.

Just got to my motel near DLR and hooboy the DCA wait times are out of whack. Probably still some lingering D23 crowds. Mostly waiting for my Magic Key Terrace reservation at this point.

I have done my very best to keep my kids away from the crappy Tiktok stuff like dangerous challenges, and apparently there is a Youtube section for short videos and people just repost Tiktok crap there. My kids' school-issued laptops block Tiktok, but Youtube is allowed. It's all dumb stuff like influencers living in a big empty mansion together doing things like watermelon-throwing contests. We have skipped Disneyland these past two Sundays, one was the long very hot Holiday weekend and last weekend was to avoid D23 crowds. It's amazing how much other stuff you can get done when you cut Disneyland out of your schedule! But I am so looking forward to cool Disney mornings and Halloween decorations everywhere. It's the most wonderful time of the year.

We’re planning a DLR trip for next year. I have to work around the kids school schedules and they get a short “winter break” around Presidents’ Day. Planning on flying in late Thursday the 16th, and then flying out Tuesday afternoon the 21st. No parks on travel days but 4 full days is plenty from our past experiences. We haven’t been to DL since MLK day 2018 so it’s been a few years. Any reason not to visit at that time? I know it’ll be busy but I think most of the passes are blocked that weekend. We stay across the street at the Tropicana. Flights right now are pretty cheap so probably going to lock it all in before prices go up unless someone gives me a reason not too. We’ve also thought about hitting Universal Florida but my youngest isn’t ready to ride all the big rides there yet

worms butthole guy posted:Nice time to remove everything original for IPs. Dinosaur was something original (CTX) replaced with an IP from the awful "we don't need to buy Pixar" age of Eisner being a douche and Steve Jobs trying to avoid him. And even then the Indy ride at Disneyland blows it out of the water. It's a good ride system deserving of a more immersive, richly detailed world than a bunch of kinda big animatronics lurking in the dark.

BadSamaritan posted:I feel increasingly old and don’t understand why anybody would watch a livestream of a person at an amusement park I'm probably never going to the parks again in my life because of financial reasons. Vloggers are basically the only way I get to see the parks change and I'd be doing it too if I had the resources. There's definitely good ways and bad ways to do it, I'd rather MouseSteps and their "narrating at home over footage we shot while we were there" method over someone loudly spieling at their phone while in the middle of it all. Admittedly, I'm the kind of fool who told High School counselors that Disney CM was the thing I wanted to persue after leaving school (and this was before the internship programs were copied on the west coast) and that possibly about because I didn't get to go as much as I wanted growing up. Sometimes you just can't have the thing you love.

The cruise was wonderful and way less than what we would have paid going to the parks for the same amount of time. Announcements all look great, will be happy to see some of this stuff come to fruition (and also see this thread tear itself to shreds arguing about it all). We also found out about the Australian cruises while on the shopped and we are super pumped and will probably end up doing one of those at some point. Craptacular! posted:The idea of being on a floating Vegas hotel for a few days, peaking with a day where I could stand outside and see the ice cliffs of Alaska seemed kind of exciting. But as someone without a plus-one I know intimately enough to share a room it didn't really make any sense. Having literally just gotten off the boat 2 days ago, I would describe it more as "a luxury water chauffeur transports you from one Alaskan city to another". The highlight of the trip for us was definitely the destinations, but that definitely can't always be said about Caribbean cruises. You literally sail up and through the straights in lower Alaska for 80% of the cruise length and it's unbelievably gorgeous the entire time, even from the deck of the boat. couldcareless fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Sep 13, 2022 |

Oh I don't disagree with this at all seeing as how one cruise was all it took for me to get Covid. Was still an amazing time and for a fraction of a Disney resort stay. But all things considered I'm not advocating for cruises right now in general. But "they're for rich people, unlike Disney" is absurd.

I am sitting at the GCH bar and the line to get into both parks is loving ridiculous. I’m waiting on my Haunted Mansion LL. I’ve been wanting to do a cruise lately, but I wouldn’t do a Disney one because the other lines seem both cheaper and a bit nicer.
