reddening's thread of DISNEY PARKS gossip

a weird number of my friends have gone this year and i am dying to go

I'm a three-decade WDW stan and I will say the Harry Potter ride is maybe the greatest theme park ride of all time.

i hear this is true

i was excited to hear that universal studios cali is getting a harry potter add-on, since geography-wise i'm much more likely to make it there than florida. but of course just like disneyland vs. WDW, the cali version is probably going to be postage-stamp sized.

i am dying to go to the Harry Potter whoosits thing. A guy I work with went and it looks SO fun

So wait, you get to celebrate graduation at Disneyland and see performances by Sparks and Cheap Trick?!? WHHAAAATTTT!?!?!?!?

yesssssss assuming all the snow in oregon doesn't stop us, me & my sisters are going down to disneyland for three days next week. first time since 2011 so we'll finally get to see this "land of cars."

reddening's DISNEY PARKS gossip: I am at Disneyland and a man just tripped over me because he was distracted by his Google Glass.

lol

ILM friend got me two free adult passes so we're planning to head down to Disneyland for spraaaaaaaang braaaaaaaaaake

will have a 1yo in tow this time so that'll be... interesting

In customizing my MagicBand, I'm so tempted to put my name as "Beefheart" but I think the audience for that joke is reeeeeally limited

"M**** M***se

Making the trip down the week after Easter. The GF is suuuuuuuper excited because she hasn't been since she was a kid (this'll be my fourth time as an adult). Can't wait to drink a bunch of plum wine and ride Soarin' again.

now accepting names for the ilxor disney social club

can i be presidetn

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

I'm going in December. Can't wait.

Don't mess with Mr Toad's Riders *folds arms*. Come at me

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 was this article written?

i might be going in about a month!

to disneyland.

what should i know?

how do i prepare?

how do i convince my gf that this is indeed a good idea?

i'm excited!

I went with this and read it while standing in lines, and found it very enjoyable

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

that looks cool

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!
