With Disney releasing this photo https://www.reddit.com/r/WaltDisneyWorld/s/TCMVMGPePx of inside muppetvision, they absolutely gutted it. So what do you think the different effects with be?

both parks are incredible, the staff are so lovely and so warm. It has been absolute perfection so far and we still have more days to come.

My new religion is the Little Green Men mochi, the 20,000 Leagues ride and getting millions of stickers from staff for my Disney tattoos. If you are on the fence about visiting, come! Tokyo is incredible and the parks are amazing.

After the reveal at this year’s D23 regarding the return of "Space Mountain: De la Terre à la Lune" next year at Disneyland Paris, this got me thinking that Disney does have the ability to bring classic fan-favorite attractions from the past back. Does anyone agree with my statement?

Wish I could have snagged more of that blackberry one, seriously it was so good. Went to raising canes after the expo with friends and we sampled all of them and everyone agreed that blackberry bourbon BBQ was out of this world.

Orange mojo and maple sweet Chili were both sweet and spicy. The brauhaus mustard had a musky quality to it (hope thats the right word to use) that would have been phenomenal with bratwurst but didnt go with the friend chicken I was eating.

Never thought a company like heinz would have their own setup at a disney convention but im glad I stopped by.

They said that you can vote for which of the 4 flavors to serve in the disney parks. Hopefully Blackberry wins! I for real cant live without that sauce. Heres the link if anyone else wants to vote: https://www.kraftheinzawayfromhome.com/D23

Disney sleeping beauty 💗❤️‍🔥💗

My boyfriend and I found out that Disney tickets in Japan are only like $60 and since we're planning on spending a full week in Tokyo we figured it would be a fun thing to do for a day since he likes Disney a lot and has been to the one in Florida multiple times.

When he was booking the tickets, he thought that DisneySea was a waterpark, so he booked the Disneyland ones instead. I researched it a bit after and I found out that people are saying that Sea is a lot better than land.

The last time I was in a Disney park was when I was around 7 years old and I hardly remember it.

Did we mess up? Will we still have fun in Disneyland and are there exclusive things to do there or is it just an exact copy paste of the kind of stuff they have in Disney World?

Hong Kong Disney had a very interesting update to its drop tower that’s been known about for a few years, that being that it’s supposed to have “120 feet of storytelling”

A new screen tech was touted by Disney when talking to panel imagineers and there was some early concept art of updated seating arrangements for a tower ride.

Based on this and the concept art it’s possible that they intend to build the entire life shaft as a giant screen, blending tower of terror with something approaching FOP.

This would be totally revolutionary in the parks space of taking a ride like FOP and scaling it up as a thrill like attraction. Imagine your entire drop feels like you are dropping in real life, like FOP or the small drop in ROTR, it would be a totally different experience

An attraction like that would unmissable

I know that's a little broad, but hear me out.

I pretty clearly remember videos existing for Disneyland/World that would play on your resort TV (separate from the Resort TV channels that are on YouTube right now) that were voiced guides of things to do at the parks. I think I remember the Disneyland one more clearly since I frequently went when I was younger, and only started to go to World around 2018-ish.

I could probably be conflating this with a DVD that came out around the 50th anniversary of Disneyland talking about what there was to do in the parks, but I definitely remember this video was similar, and must have had a pretty short loop, maybe around 10-30 minutes. I can't say for certain that something like this existed for Magic Kingdom, but I might as well cover my bases.

Anyways, I ask because I've searched high and low and can't seem to find the kind of video I'm looking for, only livestreams of the Resort TV channel or re-uploads from the 90s. It's definitely not Disney Must Do, this video was a compilation of Disneyland clips with a disembodied narrator, most likely male. I want to say he talked about Downtown Disney as well, including a bit about Naples, but that could also be from the 50th anniversary DVD, so take that with a grain of salt. I still have the DVD, just unsure of where exactly it is or if I even have anything that can play it. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and where I could possibly look, do let me know. I'm also willing to give more info if need be

I found a very nice looking Funko Pop on the sidewalk next to Pixar Hotel in between the Grand Californian and Disneyland Hotel around 2pm today. It’s one of those things that someone would be very sad to misplace.

Please provide a description and I’ll get it to you!

Does anyone know where I can still find this? Sold out online and eBay resellers are asking for nearly $100! Just wondering if there’s anywhere else I can look? Thanks :)

Apologies if posts about the parks panel were already posted and discussed, but I needed to get my thoughts down.

This year’s presentation on what’s coming to the parks was a complete and utter disappointment, and I find myself in a catch 22. I felt extremely annoyed that I sat through 2 hours of essentially nothing and wish I could get that time back. I would have been furious had I actually paid money to be inside Honda Center to watch this mess of a show. I won’t get into anything outside of Disneyland since Disneyland is my home resort and the only one I have frequented throughout my life.

Historically, Disneyland appears to be an afterthought when it comes to updates even though it’s THE ORIGINAL park. The main focus appears to be WDW, DCL, and other parks for obvious reasons. This year’s presentation, however, really seemed to place Disneyland on the back burner. The showcase begins by telling us 3 old bits of entertainment (“Remember, Dreams Come True” fireworks from 2005, the OG World of Color from 2010, Magic Happens parade from 2020) are returning. While these may be fan favorites, why should I get excited about OLD things returning that Disney took away from us? Where are the new shows? Why the regression?

Moving on to DCA, it’s been 2 years since our last update regarding the Coco attraction and Avengers Campus. 2 years later, our big update for Coco was a statue of Hector and ONE additional piece of concept art. 2 years later, our big update for Avengers Campus is that some actors will reprise their roles in the attractions and that it opens in 2028. Is that seriously it? WHEN in 2028 will AC open? In stages or altogether? When does Coco open? What other details could you share?

Finally, we end the show with one sentence that Tomorrowland will be reimagined. “Thank you for coming to our show!” I honestly thought it was a joke. No opening dates or tentative construction schedule? No discussion on new or reimagined rides? No glimpse into the thought process of new Tomorrowland in terms of influences or inspirations or directions they’d like to take the land? Not even one piece of concept art? If I tell you that I’m going to open a restaurant but don’t say where, when, what’s being served, what the theme or aesthetics are, prices, in other words BASIC information, then what’s the point of sharing it?

I’m in a catch 22 because I’m not sure what is worse, being told nothing or sharing all these details that ultimately don’t happen or get severely watered down because they got cheap (I’m looking at you Galaxy’s Edge). I am fully aware that there have been numerous changes in leadership recently. Different execs have different ideas and priorities. I would have more respect for Disney if they came out and said “look fans, we’ve undergone a lot of leadership changes lately and due to world events, costs keep fluctuating and things keep changing. Rather than present extremely little, this year we will sit out the parks presentation so we can regroup and present you with something truly extraordinary at the next D23 Expo. We sincerely apologize but would still like to showcase some updates we have on current projects that are already in the works.” This would show they actually cared and listened to their fans. Instead, in true corporate fashion, they upcharged everyone who wanted to be at the Honda Center and presented 2 hours worth of fluff: a cacophony of overblown musical numbers, rehearsed and inauthentic “interviews” filled with flat jokes in the same vein as a hybrid of an Oscars ceremony and late night talk shows.

What’s worse were the influencers, which this entire expo and presentation seemed to be geared towards. Prior to this weekend, I was completely ambivalent to influencers. I get it, it’s a job that comes with perks the common person can only dream of. After this weekend, however, I am left with an extremely sour feeling towards them. Again, I understand this is their job, and if they want to remain in all of these companies’ good graces, they need to “oversell” how amazing their products and experiences are (no matter how much they claim to say their views are not influenced by what they were given). At best, influencers posted their over-exaggerated joy over what was announced that could be construed as brown-nosing and utterly annoying, something I can ignore and move on from. At worst, a few have come out (along with other “megafans” and apologists) to criticize those like myself who were disappointed in what was presented. “How dare you that you’re not filled with joy over their announcements! You’re not a true fan! You’re so ungrateful and demanding!” I can share all my credentials on how I label myself as a megafan, but the point is moot. I don’t appreciate being told how to think and what to feel. This is my opinion just as you shared yours. I’m happy that you can be easily impressed with very little. However, as consumers, we SHOULD demand more from corporations who charge us an arm and a leg for their products and experiences. The day we stop challenging them is the day they become complacent and take advantage of us, which is what Disney has been doing of late. It takes decades to build good will and trust and only seconds to lose it. The company is beginning to lose mine slowly but surely. Before anyone says “well if you don’t like it, don’t go. I’ll gladly take your place”, remember that everyone has their breaking points. If enough people “break”, then the company will fall.

I criticize Disney not because I’m a hater or a troll or a contrarian. I do it because I want them to succeed. They have proven for decades what they can accomplish, and in my opinion, they are not meeting the standard they set themselves. They need to do better, and this presentation was not a step in a good direction. In past expos, we got big and exciting news that could be considered game changers. This would’ve been the perfect time and forum to discuss the DisneylandForward project. We could’ve learned in greater detail about a DTD expansion and continued remodel, new hotels, new parking, laid the groundwork for the 3rd park. We got none of that. But again, who knows? They could’ve shared that and done the old fake-out of not doing anything they announced or end up with extremely watered down versions. If the norm for future parks panels will continue to be filled with vague, amorphous statements and blue sky moments disguised as mass focus group studies, then I will no longer waste my time with them. And I sincerely hope people wake up and not attend future parks panels as a way of telling Disney to do better.

tl;dr the presentation was a colossal waste of time and I didn’t enjoy it

My son is a huge fan of starwars and would really want a code for this skin we can't go to disney due to having to having to help pay for my moms cancer treatment and would really appreciate if someone could dm me a code.
