Disneyland Resort (DL, DLR, DCA) Discussion Thread

Yes! I was hoping this was going to happen after seeing the Maleficent preview. An upgraded screen and projector is just what the doctor ordered.

How am I supposed to help save the world with the power of music now?????? Crap!

Don't worry. The Guardians of the Galaxy are on the case

[DBJ]

I like the previews as well. Maleficient worked really well over at DCA. The 3D DCA experience was actually better than the 3D at theater. Guardians would make a great permanent replacement for EO in the future.

I would love to see a tomorrow land of Marvel, Star Wars, and origonal concepts. A true mixed bag. That way, it stays as Tomorrow, and not Single IP land.

I've seen some recent tweets that Disneyland was close to a fire today. I just wanted to bring that up

ANAHEIM, Calif. (KABC) -- A fire broke out Sunday afternoon at the backstage of Disneyland, sending black smoke billowing into the air.

 

Anaheim fire responded to Gate 7 in the 1000 block of West Ball Road. Firefighters quickly knocked down the flames located outside and away from guests.

 

No injuries were reported and operations were not disrupted, Disneyland officials said.

I'm glad they put the fire out and no one was hurt, but I will say this, it helps make the Disneyland castle more noticeable.

[DBJ]

I was catching up on my Star Wars movie news the other day, and it occurs to me that it is likely that we will see the theater become a Star Wars/Marvel movie preview center for the next few years. With a plethora of Star Wars movies in the works, mixed in with the occasional Marvel titles theatrically and on Netflix, I can see the theater not really having a dedicated show ever again.

Hey everyone. When is the better time to go to the park? The week before or week after of thanksgiving. We want to spend a Monday and Tuesday if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

Glad to hear it wasn't anything extremely damaging!

[619fan]

I knew it!!!!! The villains want to take over Disneyland!!!!

[KBrylczyk]

Sooooooooooo it's been over a month and a half since the Disneyland visit and I never actually got around to posting my trip report. Life got a bit hectic (new job, etc) and it slipped my mind. Sooooo, that being said, screw the trip report! Here's a Vine and Photo dump from that day! Enjoy! Also, make sure you enable sound for the Vines.

On to the photos!

Teeny tiny castle.

Creepy themeing stuffs

Just a tad bit crowded at 10:04am. The line to meet Anna and Elsa was over 300 minutes already. Wrapped all the way around past Big Thunder.

DUN DUN DUNDUNDUN! DUDUDUDUDUDUDU DUNDUNDUN! (That's supposed to be the Iron Man guitar riff, btw)

Pretty refurbed themeing at Big Thunder!

It was looking gorgeous.

Rocks n bones!

Two hour line for the commoners. The wonderful hidden single rider line made it a 5 minute wait, however.

IT'S GON' EAT ME!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Bow chicka bow wow

NO!!!!! I knew it was going to be closed anyway, but dammit! It's my favorite ride of all time! THE HUMANITY!!!!!!!!

Only running one side, the slower side. Still tons of fun, though!

Scared yet?

Ghost horse!

Beautiful sunset

[jray21]

Nice pictures! Only about 2 more months until I get to visit!

[laqueefa]

Thanks for the report!

[laqueefa]

I just found this on YouTube after a night out at the bars. I'm not sure if its the numerous Jameson shots w/ pickle juice backs, but this ride is seriously giving me flash backs. If WDW's new Snow White revamp didn't get you excited for the future of dark rides at the Disney parks, then this should turn your nipples into glass cutting diamonds. Okay, maybe its the booze, BUT STILL. Cant wait for TPR to get a nice high def POV vid!

 

[Nrthwnd]

^ Thanks for posting the video.

 

ALICE is still one of my all-time fave dark rides, one that is certainly unique among

dark rides, especially those catapillar ride vehicles.

 

I still wonder why they didn't put a copy in at say, the UK pavilion at EPCOT.

It would be a perfect fit, IMHO.

 

Great ride, one of the best.

[KBrylczyk]

^ It is a good ride and with the updates it looks gorgeous. I'm still sad about the really awkward outdoor section, though.

 

Oh no! The Red Queen is trying to kill us! Watch out! Through that door, quickly!

...well this is not what I expected at all.

:::what feels like 20 minutes later:::

Oh, look, a tea party...?

 

It's just a very sudden stop to the action.

[cfc]

^At least it ends with an exploding cake.

[KBrylczyk]

^ Good point. Always end with a bang.

[laqueefa]

For anyone headed to the park for the rest of the day, I've heard that Disneyland has hit capacity.

[KBrylczyk]

^ Happy Fourth Of July! To celebrate, we're offering the number 4 all day! As in 4 hour lines!

[Atter]

When Disneyland reaches maximum capacity it's a disaster. The POTC line wrapped up and down new orleans square when I was there in December.( about a 2 hour wait for it). I never want to go again at max capacity.

[cfc]

That's the problem with being the "coziest" of the Disney parks.
