Disneyland Resort (DL, DLR, DCA) Discussion Thread

Three cheese Monte Cristo French Toast? Oh yea, that will be mine at about 2am when those late-night muchies hit.

[SharkTums]

That's really cool that they're doing special menus...I hope Magic Kingdom does something food wise as we all know that park is devoid of anything edible!

^ I personally think the guard handled it very well. He wasn't excessive and for the most part had control until that final outburst right as backup was arriving.

 

I would argue that it was his excessive use of pepper spray that let it get worse. He obviously had to use it to calm the guy down (as whatever happened before the video started resulted in those initial swings), but after he gets the guy on the ground the first time that should have been enough. The dude gets back up and wasn't cooperating with the command to "get on the ground," but he was relatively calm to the point it would have been pretty easy for Anaheim PD/backup security to deal with him when they arrived had the guard just kept the dude distracted instead of spraying him again.

 

He also should have been clearing the area (along with the ToT CM's) instead of letting spectators stand around and make it a bigger scene.

The Disney Mobile Magic App that was Verizon only is now available for all iPhone users, and a few other non-important phones! Verizon customers do get some additional features, but the main features are available for all.

^ This may be why the main park doesn't serve alcohol at all, unless you count club 33

Thanks for the heads up. I just downloaded to my AT&T iPhone so that I can be familiar with it for my next trip. It seems to be working, even though it still has Verizon in the name.

No, idiots plus alcohol is bad.

 

The fact is, DCA has been serving alcohol for over 10 years. EPCOT for almost 30. DHS over 20.

 

The amount of incidents that occur at these parks is most likely negligable, and the fact that we live in a society where video's like this could be popping up all the time and don't says something about the way Disney operates.

 

This is the first time I've seen a drunk person at a Disney park make this kind of incident. Not saying it hasn't happened, but I haven't seen it in person or online.

 

Now to be fair, I have seen the "sloppy drunk" the "loud drunk" and the "look at me drunk" numerous times.

 

The fact is, you can buy alcohol pretty much anywhere these days. Museums, Theme Parks, Malls, Restaurants, Bowling Alley's ... you name it. It's not the "Disney" that brings out the asshole, it's the alcohol and this could have happened anywhere with this guy.

[Universalgeek]

I hope a new disneyland resort park will replace the mall part of the gardenwalk.

Wrong in so, so many ways. Epcot ring a bell? It's amazing that one douche gets in a video by causing a scene and suddenly there's a jump on the "there shouldn't be booze at Disney parks" bandwagon. Let's not ruin it for the people that can enjoy an ice cold alcoholic beverage responsibly at a theme park.

The main park also doesn't serve sides of jelly. So the moral of the story must be...Jelly plus Disney is bad.

I am okay with jello at neither parks. I was at Ariel's Grotto (don't ask why) and I remember an appetizer being jello with fruit inside. Jello should never be an option at a restaurant and what they served is a desert not appetizer in my opinion. Now I know that the food is catering for little girls... but that thought is where things got weird for me. See another option on the appetizer platter were carrots with an olive stuck on to the end of each, which resembled, well, you know... Not complaining just saying.

[dylanreich]

^I think they were talking about actually sides of jelly, say for a piece of toast.

On a similar note, does anyone think Disney will ever serve alcohol in Disneyland? On top of the whole "family environment thing," I'm sure with the status-quo, DCA gets a lot more business because there's definitely people that go in just to get some beer and go right back into Disneyland.

I doubt we'll ever see alcoholic beverages in Disneyland (outside of Club 33, which requires membership), or in the Magic Kingdom in Florida.

[Mechanic]

But will we see Red Bull?

[U2Rox]

Hey guys,

I have a question. Does the monorail have a drop-off station at Downtown Disney?? I can't remember if you can get off there or not. Thanks in advance.

[RCFreak]

There is indeed a stop in Downtown Disney near the Disneyland Hotel.

 

 

So I went to the last few hours of the 24 hour thing and holy crap it was busy! Space Mountain had a 140 minute wait at around 4:30 am when I was leaving, but it felt like half of the park was shut down by then as well.

[Universalgeek]

Dude's! There are some place's that are not even at club 33 like the golden horse shoe and somewhere in the main street area. I know it that i saw beer outside the club 33

[Chrisrad]

^^ I was checking up on the twitter feeds and couldn't believe what was being reported. Even at 9-10 pm, the park was at capacity, and space was at 90 minutes.

 

I had a bad feeling about the whole thing when I realized that none of the passes were blocked. I've been on the 'busy' days where all four passes were allowed in, and swore I'd never do it again.

 

I guess it's cool to say you were there for 24 hours, or that you rode certain rides at 1-6 am (you'd never have any other chance to do this), but dealing with DLR's crowds? No.

Not unless it was some of Lindsay Lohan's friends that were getting kicked out. And by the way, plurals don't require an apostrophe.

^^I also didn't think it would be worth it, I'm glad I didn't go. I felt good about my decision once my friend posted in the evening yesterday that they'd been sitting at Ball Rd. for 30 minutes without even moving... They did eventually get in though, but said today it wasn't worth it at all because of the crowds.

[pdcon]

Yes its cool to be at disneyland for 24 hours, but when you can barley walk, or see anything, or when its takes 110mins to ride space and btmrr, its not fun, I couldn't. Enjoy myslef or absorb the stuff that makes me love disney so much. To many ruthless teenagers. I was washing my hands in the bathroom and a drunk teen came in, I guess he could not hold it long enough to wait for a stall, he decided to take a pee in the sink right next to me.

[Chrisrad]

^ Wow. Not cool.

Yea, it was pretty crazy. When there was no restaurant or ODV without a 45+ minute wait to buy coffee, we knew it was time to call it a night. The craziest thing was the huge line to BUY tickets still at 2am. There's no way it was shorter than an hour and everyone who was leaving for the night was shocked that they were still selling tickets. Then once you bought tickets, the line to get in was almost all the way back to DCA.

 

When I went back around noon today, there were tons of tired looking people still in their "Pulled an All Nighter" shirts, which really makes me wonder how many people didn't even go home and maybe napped in the car for a couple hours.
