the new TEA numbers are out and this time they're definitely accurate

Disney has ended the in-house external/shipped product making for PhotoPass photos, and has instead partnered with Shutterfly: www.shutterfly.com/collections/...

So the idea here is specific "checks" to ensure the full party is together at specific spots (before the Xandar Gallery). But this conflicts with this policy: disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-servic... Which, for accessibility reasons, allows queue meet up. www.kennythepirate.com/2026/10/18/d...

the square blue sign on the outline is such an interesting style, especially given that we see two signs here - it must have been the standard for the attraction!

i am so tired of the bobs

"the roller coaster is themed to a roller coaster" - we didn't know how good we had it

The "singles and doubles" could never end at WDW until just about every attraction gets touched (which would be a good thing!). Some new show effects in the 5th dimension room (or a whole new idea in there and the hallway) would be great. Interesting.

I'm up early preparing for the large local potluck furry meet in Irvine, appropriately called Furvine! I bring cookies almost every meet. Mostly just fun hanging out with fellow fuzzies under a fun context - which reminds me so much of my Disneyland Sunday meets for MiceChat.

This might be @guyselga.bsky.social's funniest video. Then what he gets is just, *chef's kiss*. youtu.be/WAD9g3z3wP4?...

Peak Tomorrowland.

Always great to see this continue somewhere in the resort!

The manually rotated trylons lasted 25 years. These signs lasted less than 2 years.

New Knott's creature just dropped: Skunks!

My little alerter script was going wild with availability or not for today, but it did rain this afternoon so it appears they opened it wide. Next week is starting to get more dates reserved, but we'll have to see how it all shakes out. 30th still gone from pre-change.

feels like a heinz sauce label

We didn't know how good we had it under Eisner.

Like did they send out a "no we actually care about our passholder community" email from the president of Disneyland because of the Chapek book? I feel like they would have just been like "good news!" before.

Thoughts: No price increases means that they've reached the top of the market right now. I don't see this minor operational change being a huge new draw for people to buy/renew either, this feels more to engage renewals or existing passholders.

it's kinda fucking crazy that Uni somehow got a parks character into Fortnite proper before the whole "we ARE fortnite we gave Epic a billion dollars" Disney did!

In a way (especially the ceiling columns), very similar to what they did to the Muppet theater at DCA when they converted it into Frozen Fun (and then Sunset Showcase). I wonder if they are thinking of flexing this show into DCA too. Might be a fun replacement when/if Monsters closes.

I would have at least printed a custom "Behind the EPCOT Walls" cover.

the celebrity preshow is bad and problematic - that building since 1996

they should have just edited the guardians pre-show when it was quiet to add the Ellen "audience shouting" audio "sleep study" "cut to black" "DREAM SEQUENCE!"

Happy 55th Walt Disney World! Thanks for all the trips, fun, and memories over the years. You'll always be one of my favorite places in the world.

All this resentment, I feel - started at the 24 hour 60th party, when Michael Colglazer got a late-night call saying that the party had blocked I-5 North and that they needed to do something about it - and Disneyland was empty because they didn't plan correctly.

So I just finished the first section of the Chapek book, and I’ll sum it up like this: I have often accused TWDC of actively resenting their parks guests, and some folks said that was too far, but this book is proof straight from the source that I was absolutely spot on with that assessment

I miss it. A lot. I miss the old community and what it was. I miss the purpose, the fun, and why I wanted to live and work in Irvine to begin with. I miss the evenings spent at the resort after work, the ambition of the entertainment and operations to keep that audience enagaged.

The continued contempt that they show for their customers makes me wonder if all the good guys are gone. I can count on one hand the number of my friends that still hold an AP, er, I mean Magic Key. That used be hundreds.

blogmickey.com/2026/09/bob-... It's just all continuously burning long-term goodwill for short-term gain, and assuming that there would never be any pushback on the product - ever.

How am I just discovering Orange County Mining Company!? Wonderful vintage themed dining!

Of everything rumored - this seems the most realistic to me. The building that is the Matterhorn is mostly wood, and those yearly track rebuilds have got to really be getting up there cost-wise.

I took this photo but don’t even remember this Main Street USA Pumpkin Festival “show” with guest participation. 🎃 #Disneyland

Mine was that same Tandy 1000! Got it for $5 from a Garage Sale in like ~1993. Called Radio Shack to see if they had DOS disks for it, and they helped me find/make some!

McDonald's isn't doing the free codes via the Internet this year, and instead switched back to sending a SASE to a PO Box. They must have given away so much stuff. I was getting my full 8 codes via the web everyday almost the whole game.

Yeah, I'm talking about Pop Music.
