Dont forget Alice too. Its no Indy, but they added a bunch of new stuff inside and its a really get upgraded ride!

I read all these posts about day planning and I can't help but wonder when MyMagic+ and MagicBands will come to DLR. If you've never used them before, you have no idea how incredibly easier they make even a one day trip. No rushing around the park getting FP's, no need to get there at the crack of dawn to get that elusive FP that's gone in the first hour, you wake up and walk in knowing at least your top 3 must do's are locked in.

 

Then at the park there's no fumbling around trying to get everyone's admission ticket multiple times for the admission gates or the FP machines. Everything is read right off the MagicBand. This needs to come to DLR ASAP!!!

Not for a long long long time. Its probably never coming to any other Disney park until its a solvent system. Why make more debt when your current debt isn't shrinking yet.

Oh gosh I LOVED Alice when I rode it a few years back. I can't wait!

Johnny Rockets >>>>> than Red Robin if you have a choice BTW.

 

Im going to have to disagree with this. During my college years a friend of mine managed a JR and would always warn us about eating at any JR restaurants with emphasis on avoiding ordering the chili! Red Robin has bottomless seasoned fries! There's nothing more American than endless carbs!

 

Johnny Rockets has unlimited fries as well. And their onion rings are better. Anyone who has ever worked at a restaurant can tell you horror stories about the restaurant they worked at (was in the restaurant industry for the first 27 years of my life.) I can only judge the Red Robin's I've been to here in Utah compared to the Johnny Rockets I've been to in Utah. I'd much rather go to JR than RR. But that is small sample size. Burgers at JR taste way better than the ones at RR. IMO.

I personally prefer Red Robbin to Johnny Rockets, to each their own.

Alice is one of the most original, unique dark rides Disney has ever created.

They could put a version of it, in at the UK pavilion in EPCOT.

But I am glad there is still only one of these to be found, at DL itself.

Six decades ago Walts vision of Disneyland was under construction, preparing for is July 17, 1955 grand opening. Here's a slideshow of the past six decades of Disneyland.

Am I missing something? Disneyland won't be 60 until next year, right? But I guess this is the "60th" year. Marketing never misses a beat.

^I think they're announcing a new parade and a new firework show for the 60th anniversary today, I'm assuming thats why they have the banners up.

They are unlikely announcing anything big today.

It's all about Magical Disney Time.

Their 50th birthday lasted 2 1/2 years, so cut them some slack...

^ Some say it continues even now...

With all this talk about the new Club 33 at Disneyland, I realized we never posted our report from the classic version.

Holy Crap! At least the kid's sprite was only 3.50!

That's probably still cheaper than at your average Six Flags' park.

For some reason I've been very interested with how Toy Story Mania works. I want to know how the gun knows what you are shooting at on the screen. Is it a light gun or are there cameras that track the guns location?

Seems like the wireless system only needs the cars' location and the gun's sensors do their thing from then on.

[SilverBullet2004]

^So is that the same way the Justice League ride and Wonder Mountian's Guardian work?

[KBrylczyk]

^ Solid maybe on that one.

Wow! I love this new souvenir poster design for DL's Haunted Mansion's 45th Anniversary!

Would love to get one, if possible from where I live.

I really REALLY like this design for the Mansion's 45th.
