That’s an interesting change, scrolling through the app, I do like putting an order in for the future and then adjusting as needed.

Trip report: Guardians is the best ride in the parks now and it isn't even close. Tron is ok. I really enjoyed Victoria and Alberts, but my wife didn't so it's not going to be an every trip thing  We both enjoyed Takumi-Tei, so I can maybe make that a regular thing instead. Jiko's short rib is still my individual favorite thing to eat though. Animal Kingdom Lodge was nice, we had standard view but it was over the back side that had some animals and I think it spoiled us to be able to watch the animals in the morning during breakfast and we'll probably pay up for savannah view next time. It's very nice having a morning distraction for our son.

But as someone who got to see Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, there's part of me that just wants to be able to check out the Starcruiser before it goes away as it's too strange to exist.

The internet's had time to digest it and it makes the entire state not somewhere I would voluntarily be. this is just another reason for me to get my poo poo checked and see if I really am a visibly female XY person like a couple of my doctors suspect based on my testosterone levels and a bunch of other fun hosed up poo poo going on. I wasn't going to get it done because the last thing I want is more stuff formally diagnosed but man, I already identify on an uncertain tilt-a-whirl of non-binary/genderfluid.

After seven (?) years of visiting WDW, I saw Fantasmic in person for the first time tonight. We always used to watch Galactic Spectacular or go on rides during Fantasmic, then when Galactic got canned Covid hit and Fantasmic went on hiatus. Anyway, poo poo rules. I kept wondering why they never used Show Yourself or the How Far I’ll Go reprise in any shows, but it turns out they were hiding in Fantasmic all along (edit: vvvv thanks Cap). Jafar snake was cheesy but the Maleficent dragon was metal as hell and I loved the triple-Mickey-teleportation at the end. I also went on Rise of the Resistance after and discovered it had a nighttime overlay I didn’t know about for the ship sequences, since I’ve only ridden it during the day. Bummed the heavy laser cannons don’t move anymore when you drive through them though. Good first day breaking in my new AP. Edit: oh and James Woods was a great Hades but can we get rid of that miserable shitbag already Hazo fucked around with this message at 05:03 on May 21, 2023 |

The teleport is my favorite part, the rest is fine but I only want the intro and ending so I can be in pure five year old awe. Some kind of imagination, huh.

I first saw Fantasmic when I was 11. I was starting to feel like I'd outgrown Disney stuff a little. Then suddenly Mickey shows up and starts shooting magic at the bad guys and kicking all sorts of rear end. I loved it.

The middle of the show kind of bores me a touch, but god, the opening is incredible, and once Mickey starts fighting the villains, it just can't be beat.

yeah sorcerer mickey loving exploding the world into fireworks and water jets from the top of a cliffside is some drat cool stuff. honestly everything is. it's all very good. the jafar snake is kind of slow and the animal explosion at the beginning for jungle book/lion king is a weird spot these days but it made a lot of sense when it first came into being since that stuff was a bit more relevant and popped up in relevancy again in the past many years. I'd still like to see more updated effects for some stuff, though.

The Florida version of Fantasmic has a lot of filler because they needed to expand it to justify the time and dedication it takes to see it in a big amphitheater. The original show at Disneyland can be observed while walking around, or at least that was the original intention. That said, the new version at Disneyland (ignoring that the dragon caught on fire on the show is on hiatus) is a huge downgrade and now Florida has the superior version.

It is legitimately wild that Fantasmic has been running in one form or another for 30 years now, and doubly so that it was originally intended to have a set end date and get cycled out like every other nightly entertainment. If they ever closed it down, there'd be riots.

This is not directly Disney parks related but I really need to go to Lakeland Antique Mall when I'm back down in a few weeks. It's been far too long since I've spent money on silly bullshit and I really want some weird HHN props.

My old manager opened Fant in DHS and my favorite story is how originally at the end with Malificent Mickey was going to walk on water and it lasted all the way up until an executive preview right before public openings and someone was like uhhhh maybe we don’t want that taken the wrong way.

Apparently in a call with J.P. Morgan, Josh D'Mauro said that the Starcruiser would give the company a $300 million tax write-off. The building itself has devalued that much, apparently. Leads me to think that Starcruiser is more likely to get demolished before they ever try and refurbish or repurpose it.

Yeah it's worth way more as a loss on the books than trying to generate some revenue from it at this point in time.
