Re: Pixar's Cars 3

I agree. I saw it this morning and loved it! A big improvement over Cars 2 and I didn't dislike Cars 2. The first Cars is still my favorite of the 3 Cars films but then again Cars is my 3rd favorite of the 18 Pixar films (behind only Nemo and Dory) so that's pretty big shoes to fill. Still, from one...

Re: Disneyland recommendations for a first time visitor

I took a "bucket list", "dream trip" to Cali in late summer/early fall 2015, (first time since childhood) hitting many parks (including a few days at Knotts), but spent most of the time at Disneyland. I've been wanting to write a TR, but never got around to it. But even a year la...

Re: Finding Dory

I just returned from my opening day matinee and absolutely loved it! I'm not sure from one viewing if I liked it as much as the original, but considering Finding Nemo is my favorite Pixar film and favorite CGI animated film, that would be a tall order. I would definitely rank it, for my tastes, in m...

Re: Disney World Axing the Traditional Fastpass System?

Overall, the biggest con of Fastpass+ is it's efficiency during peak times, which will probably improve once Cast Members and guests become more used to the system. A huge con for those who are not relying on the Fastpass+ system seems to be longer wait times, since Fastpass+ guests are a huge prio...

Re: Disneyland Resort vs. Walt Disney World

If Tokyo's Toontown were removed, where at Tokyo Disneyland would guests be able to find Mickey and get a picture with him at all, let alone one alone with him? They would likely build another meet & greet location to meet Mickey, just like they did in Florida. While the Town Square meet and gr...

Re: Disneyland Resort vs. Walt Disney World

Mickey's Toontown Fair was never intended to be permanent in WDW. Well, the original version, "Mickey's Birthdayland", was intended to be temporary for Mickey's 60th Birthday in 1988, but was popular enough that it was decided to keep it as "Mickey's Starland". But those Duckber...

Re: Disneyland Resort vs. Walt Disney World

The Paris weather is anything but good for Splash Mountain most of the year. You would not want to get wet in January when there's snow on the ground. Similairly, what the weather does to the plants of Adventureland would make for a very sparse looking Jungle Cruise. I know Tokyo has both, but I'll...

Re: Disneyland Resort vs. Walt Disney World

I definitely pick Disneyland Resort. It's my home park, and I've grown up with it, and I'm probably incredibly biased, but I tried to be objective. :P I think your reply was VERY fair and objective. After all, the WDW parks are among my (seasonal) home parks in Orlando, and I've come to the same co...

Yes, I was going for something very Six Flags-ish with the name! I thought it would be a warm day in you-know-where before WDW...
