Just did my first trip here over the weekend for the Dark Side 5k. As far as food goes I'll say that Pandora's canteen was awesome, the Biergarten buffet was solid, and Rose & Crown has drat tasty fish and chips. The Flower & Garden festival happening was a nice surprise. Got some good tikka chicken flatbread from the honey stand and it's cool that you can get "sample" sizes of things for a little bit cheaper than the normal booze prices. Seven Dwarves Mine is pretty awesome in the rain. As is Jungle Cruise.

Quixotic1 posted:Guys I went to wizarding world of Harry Potter this week and I couldn't help myself, I bought a wand. It wasn't helped that I went to a showing that was emptyand was only me and nephew and when they asked who was here for a wand choosing he pointed at me, talk about marketing pressure. I fought my dumb brain real hard to not buy one when I was there in April. I avoided it, but ended up buying a bunch of stuff I didn't need at WDW instead. On that note... the paint on this water bottle has started coming off real easily and that's a bummer.

PkerUNO posted:- Pirates of the Caribbean [DLP] - A different scene order than other versions you may have experienced (I think this one makes more sense, but personal opinions!). Also better theming of the queue/show building, new Redhead Pirate scene, and this is no longer Jack Sparrow-less. But his inclusions here are OK, I think. They also have the awesome Barbossa animatronic.

Went about a month ago and our two big meals were at Orleans Cafe and Lamplight Lounge. Both were pretty great. If the Holiday Festival carts are still around at DCA those are equivalent to the Epcot festival carts. There's also a new quick service place that sells bao in Adventureland.

Shot in the dark, but does anyone know if there's a good seller to get discounted park hopper tickets for Disneyland? I'm totally fine paying the regular price, but just figured I'd check. Going in almost exactly a month from today (right before Galaxy's Edge makes poo poo bonkers.) Also: I am so down for getting the Mickey train ride here. I'm curious what they'll take out to put it there.

I was watching the Magical Journeys video on the food at GE yesterday. Most of it looked pretty good, but the weirdest thing was the version of blue milk at the cantina that was not slushified and just had like a big cookie attached to it?? And they're definitely reusing that dry ice gimmick that's used at Lamplight Lounge. (and Moe's)

I went to DIsneyland Paris in late 2017 before I had really gotten into the Disney parks. Thought the Ratatouille restaurant was pretty dang good. Phantom Manor was real cool because it was the first time I realized that they really do care about the story about the rides in regards to lore/story. And since Pirates had just finished a huge refurbishment there was an awesome movie-related animatronic that I won't spoil. Edit: There's a pretty good statue of Wall-E and Eve next to Tomorrowland. That stuck out to me because I was excited to see them. Fartington Butts fucked around with this message at 06:44 on Jul 15, 2019 |

Saw a few videos for the Haunted Mansion 50th event at DLR and holy crap it looks pretty awesome. One of the acapella bands sings Oingo Boingo on the Mark Twain. There's also a buncha real good sounding limited food in that area of the park. Not sure if they're gonna have it during the non-event times, but if it is I'll get all up in that when I'm there in about a week.

Beachcomber posted:Watching my spending tends to lead to me saying things like "I don't deserve to eat.", so I'm still looking for a happy medium. Going to the spendiest place on Earth is going to be a trial. I get that. I'm doing the same when I go for a solo trip next week. Try to lean people towards Zocalo and places in DCA? I'm a dumb and got a monthly payment AP several months before my income went down so I'm trying to use it while not spending too much extra in the parks themselves.

Empress Brosephine posted:Does millennium falcon seem like a video game or like a ride? Honestly reading impressions it makes me think it’s just a sophisticated Alien Encounter from Disney Quest. I know it’s wrong but that’s what it seems like to someone who hasn’t encountered it. It’s a little bit video game and ride. I was in the single rider like at DLR for my second time on the ride yesterday and the person behind me was asking what kinda ride it was. I reductively said “Star Tours, but you push buttons. You always get put to engineer from single rider, but man the feeling of having to slam on the buttons as fast as possible because the ship’s failing or whatever is real.

Went on Soarin' Over California four times during my trip this week. It's fart tons better than World, but it's also like 50% longer and I think that's the reason they don't wanna keep it around. I also spend most of my time wondering how they shot/composed the video. Would love some more insight on that.

stratofarius posted:The one thing I've noticed now that the projector's quality is better is that the paraglider (or whatever the hell that's called, the guy soaring through the sky past the large waterfall) is clearly CGI. I love that they have a guy who totally beefs it after trying to... snowboard off a 20 foot ledge? I heard guests near me complaining about nausea during the sped-up LA part. If they cut off that bit and the PGA bit maybe it would be closer in time to keep it around.

JaneError posted:I just want to confirm that hitting the California parks (really, any of the parks) the week between Christmas and New Years will be nuts. Any AP blackouts wouldn't substantively offset the hoardes of holiday vacationers, right? It’s a day late responding to your post, but I went for the few days after Christmas last year and it was pretty bonkers. Pushing through the crowds sucked pretty hard. That being said, as long you expect the crowds it shouldn’t be too bad. And they’ve even done some stuff to fix the areas that I thought were the worst like the entrance to Adventureland.

PurpleButterfly posted:Hello from Main Street, USA. MSEP will be here any minute now. I am currently holding my brand new purple Disneysaber (in its carrying case, of course). That was awesome. More later. I got to see the 10:45 real close. Was buying the MSEP tumbler right as it started and there was almost no one waiting around. Bummer part is that it stops after the Tinkerbell float. Also through a fluke in single rider I got to be a pilot on Smuggler’s Run. A lady in the crew had to puke afterwards so I think I did a good job.

I got to do pilot through single rider last week because they weren't calling colors out loud enough in the Falcon area. Was cool to see poo poo up close, but I like the frantic button slamming* that engineer has. *There's a sex joke there.

Went to Honolulu on a family trip a few months ago. My sister and I convinced everyone to swing by Aulani. We first ended up at the nearby Monkeypod. A dude from Hawaii 5-0 was just playin' some stuff outside. Food and mai-tais were incredible. And there's a whole album of dope Hawaiian versions of Disney songs: https://open.spotify.com/album/0rd2XH5OTuhZxKmILONpoe?si=xykhA4VxTh2HxFTBO6EwGw

Bottom Liner posted:Rope drop smugglers then head straight to slinky or vice versa. Nothing else worth dropping and if you’re there that early you might as well. It also has single rider line but you’ll almost always be engineer. This is at DLR, but the last time I did single rider is was particularly chaotic and they were loading parties in from two spots in the waiting area. Another single rider person and I totally missed our group and got to be pilots. So I guess a way to sneakily get to be pilot would be to fake that you missed your group? That's real greasy, though.

It could be just me trying to make the best of it, but I like the engineering spot. It gives you that "quickly try to hit a buncha buttons" feeling that so many sci-fi things have. Edit: My next planned DLR trip is with 2 other family members so maybe I'll finally see Hondo and the whole queue line. Fartington Butts fucked around with this message at 06:19 on Nov 5, 2019 |

Spent a few days at DLR this week. Found probably the best food deal I've seen at a Disney park. At Trader Sam's/Tangaroa Terrace they have a huge bowl of real tasty tonkatsu ramen for $15. Tasty as hell and could barely finish it. Plus you have the bonus of having a big fluffy black cat named Bagheera walking up to you. (Not easy to photograph black cats in dark lighting)

It definitely does sorta feel like that in the last two episodes, but it’s kinda balanced by the fact that they obviously have tons of footage of the stuff from the last 10 years or so. You get plenty of stuff about the building of Shanghai and Joe Rohde talking about Pandora. Edit: There are some puffy interviews with Iger, but they don’t take away from the actual Imagineers if that makes sense.
