Walt Disney World and Disneyland(s) Discussion

lamtsunfung said:

So for those of you who have been to the Star Wars Launch Bays, what's up with the display pieces? The first time I went to the Disneyland one, I assumed that they were all actual movie props (especially the way they had them displayed), but then I came across a lifesize Sideshow Yoda on display. What exactly are we looking at in the Launch Bay?

The one at Disneyland is kind of a mix. You have an area that is dedicated to the ships and costumes but at the same time they mix in a few Sideshow figures in there for the store. It never bothered me because I enjoyed seeing it anyway but yeah, I can see how that could be confusing.

Both Star Wars themed lands are slated for 2019, but the one at Disneyland is further along than the one in Walt Disney World.



Back to disneyland.... Kingdom of Cute is the latest line of vinylmation toys. I had a friend buy an entire case and I took pictures of each one in the park.


























At $19 each they're REALLY expensive for toys that size, but I couldn't help it. So cute!

I can't believe they are $19....but of course you have the Disney premium so I can believe it. They are brilliant though.

Do you get a full set in a case?

Haha I conned my friend to go on Friday and buy an entire case! Each case has 24 of these things in them... but only one mystery chase figure (Jungle Cruise). Which means it doubles up on something else. In this instance we had 1 extra Mad Tea Cup.

But I also bought 9 more in addition to the case so now I actually have enough to make a full train of People Movers and a teal colored tea-cup as well.




Alright.... Disneyland. Or rather...Disney California Adventure.








"Hero Up" is the hashtag they're pushing





Oh but wait... Splitsville is being built at Downtown Disney.. what do you guys think about the one in florida? Is it good? Fun? Do think the local audience in CA would be receptive to fancy bowling?




Ok back to Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT! Posters have been added to the Hollywood Land area - easter eggs really.





Here's a nod to Hong Kong Disneyland's Iron Man Experience





Hollywood Land

















Some pics from the opening night















The Totally Awesome Dance-Off










Random Hawkeye





So regarding photos of Mission: Breakout, do you want me to spoil tag it? I wouldn't want some of you to have your experience ruined if you didn't want to have it ruined.

I have a huge favour to ask. Is there anyone that could please grab me one of the 'poster art' 2018 calendars? I would be forever in your debt!

Can't wait

Disneyland meets Westworld? with Vader as the man in black?

And we finally find out where all those departed people from The Leftovers went.

They didn't go to the Emmys.

So stoked for Star Wars land, or whatever it is that they will eventually call it.

Read that this morning.
Thanks!

I've been hearing the rumors of the Tron Coaster coming to WDW so it's great to finally have confirmation! Now I don't have to go to Shanghai.

This clip gives me goosebumps:

Awesome. I wish it was the original though.

Very excited about Star Wars news for the parks, and my favorite, the Tron ride!!
Time to plan a trip to Orlando! Hahaha!

What's the word on the new Fantasmic show?

You can YouTube the whole fantasmic show.

Lots of subtle changes, but the most obvious inclusions are Pirates of the Caribbean, Aladdin, Lion King, and you do get to see Mickey a lot more!
When Mickey first showed up on stage, after being in hiatus for almost 2 years, everyone went nuts! LOL! It was awesome!

Planning a trip to Disneyland since its been a few years and my kid wants to go again but I can't believe how much the California grand hotel is per night. I could stay in the nicest suite in Vegas for the kind of $$$ they are asking for a standard room. In fact I could have gone to Hawaii for less, but the kid wanted Disneyland and that's what he is going to get. I am just shocked at the room rates my goodness. Damn greedy evil mouse preys on kids and their sucker parents, we are just big chunks of cheese to them, Mickey needs the biggest slice possible.. then he has us wait in lines half the day unless we pony up 2k more for a VIP pass

Yeah bro their prices are insane and the lines are never-ending. You'll be in a line when going to the restroom too. If you stay until the parade and fireworks, you'll be in a line at the exit.

But it's all worth it.
Make some great memories with your son and take lots of pics.
Hard to describe it but it's really magical being there and no one does it better than Disney.

About the rest room lines, that's why u stay at the Grande hotel, it's got an entrance to the park so I can just run back use the hotel bathroom and get back before I would had i gone to one in the park. I also seriosuly considered the VIP pass, but its not worth it cause only going to be with 5 people. Had we had 10 I would bought it for sure.. It breaks down to only $200 per person, unlimited rides no waiting anywhere for anything including bathrooms

We need to get 10 freaks going to disneyland at the same time, we can all split the VIP pass, Disney doesn't have anyway of knowing that we aren't friends or related in real life nor do they care..
