Hi there!

My archive of Disneyland lighting fixture photos is far, far too large.
Maybe the Doorway Effect is more pronounced at Disneyland, causing people to quickly forget if the parked in the big flat place, or in the big tall place

Either show up before rope drop to 9:15am, or show up after 1pm. In between is madness. If rope drop, park at Toy Story by 7:20. Way better than M&F.

And of course “the data” tells the spreadsheet people that it’s a failure because it was too focused, but the reality is that it’s a mild failure because it wasn’t actually focused *enough*

It could’ve been such an amazing thing before the budget choppers cut the best guest experience parts.

Damn. First French fry apocalypse and now Monte Cristogate

I know and it should be fixed. But, alas, the spreadsheet people. 😔

I hope someone can rescue you from that monstro sized whale!

It’s probably not an “economically viable investment” according to the spreadsheet people

They ruined it post-Covid when they changed the portion size to about 50% as well as the recipe. It’s not as good anymore BUT the all-cheese one at Cafe Orleans is pretty tasty.

You should see how much Christmas stuff ends up over at the cast member store on severe discount before December even hits, it's wild.

Horse girl? Catch a ride on the horse drawn streetcar from the flagpole on Main Street to the castle before 2pm as well.

Depending on age, don’t miss out on doing a grand circle tour on the Disneyland Railroad (fastest/easiest before 2pm from Main Street Station), and a ride on the Mark Twain riverboats. Tween-agers tend to not like them though. Tiana’s will get you soaked. Poncho if riding.

My advice- if you’re parking, park at Toy Story by 7:20am. Security there is much faster and you’ll be in the park by 7:45. Blitz through Fantasyland, you should be able to ride everything there by 10am. Don’t miss fireworks, always get a churro (fresh and hot is best, find one with a long line)

I just wish they had the Mark Twain shirt in a darker color! I don’t do light colored tahirts.

I hope you have a great time!!

Inside of you there are three porgs

It's like some kind of McKinsey-esque cost-optimization measure taken after spending more on data analysis of the wrong things and not doing a vibe-check

I mean I fucking love Disneyland and go all the time as a local. But goddamn the spreadsheet people at Disneyland are starting to get kind of annoying
