reddening's thread of DISNEY PARKS gossip

now accepting names for the ilxor disney social club

imagine all the good stephin merritt jokes when we all ride splash mountain together

so when's that new seven dwarf coaster opening up at WDW anyway

agreed with whiney: establishing your disney article's streetcred by saying shitfaced in the first four lines is the kind of thing a good editor would nip

ah we'd def have to be named after this

idk is "Club 77" too insider?

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is the best thing at Disneyland and one reason I now prefer the original over Disney World despite growing up in Florida.

Pubs, pizzas and hell. You can't go wrong.

at Disney World there were two tracks on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and no matter which one you took you died and went to hell

I love Mr Toad. It's so fun. Also: Mr Veg & I went together not long after we first met. I had only been once before as a teenager but my friends were all too cool to go on many of the rides so this time I was on a mission to go on every single ride. Including Storybook Land :D

Mr Veg hunched in a tiny gondola surrounded by toddlers and their parents as we toured the dioramas & sailed through the mouth of jonah the whale is one of my favorite memories.

he was NOT happy lol

1 1/2 weeks out from spring break in Orlando! Will be my first time checking out the re-vamped Fantasyland and the Harry Potter stuff at Islands of Adventure.

"...better suited for a Germs show ..."

When you need a break, it's nice to just take the railroad around the whole park.

people failing at Disneyland.

Now that's a super cut.

the WDW seven dwarves mine train caught fire today, i believe in fulfillment of the curse placed upon the site for tearing down the snow white dark ride:

I am at WDW right now, AMA. It is currently 45 degrees. About to hit Magic Kingdom.

Good luck!

I'll be there in 28 days.

sounds like the fire was caused by stray fireworks

starting to plan a trip to Disneyland for March

Still chilly but kids are game. Wore ponchos on splash mountain. Excited to gorge at crystal palace lunch in a bit.

Waiting for aptly named Dumbo ride.

Like the new fantasyland stuff! Great design. Also, found $100!

a thrill for adults!

staying at a Disney resort, Josh?

Pop Century.

Any thoughts on best place to stay in Anaheim? Last time we were at the grand Californian. I liked the convenience of being able to walk to the parks, but our room was small and underwhelming given the price. It was a pretty big comedown after spending the previous night in an enormous and beautiful suite at the Venetian in Vegas that was half the price.

With Disney you're paying for convenience. You'll find cheaper and sometimes better accommodations outside WDW and Disneyland but you aren't getting hidden Mickeys.

There's a Holiday Inn on the same block as Disneyland. I stayed there for work years back. I believe they run shuttles over.

I'll be there on Christmas Eve and Christmas god help me, any advice?

A flask.

Staying in the park gets you access to the free dining promo, if you planned ahead, like us.

We are literally stuck in the Carousel of Progress.

ride started and stopped three times until they just let us all off. Haunted Mansion stopped three times while we were on, too.

We went to Disneyland Paris on Christmas Day one year, and it was packed! and super cold too. And there was a train strike. in other words a typical December day in Paris. (We had season passes so it wasn't a drag at all)

And now we are, again literally, stuck on Space Mountain!
