"So when you have a theme park, and you’re giving yourself license to relax and play, there’s no question that it’s a positive effect." Inject it right into my veins. Todd nails it.

Hey #DisSky - the lovely & talented @toddmartens.bsky.social wrote a great piece on Disney fans as adults: www.latimes.com/travel/story...

In defense of Disney adultswww.latimes.com The term 'Disney adult' is often associated with an allegiance to a corporation or a refusal to grow up. But maybe the young at heart know something the rest of us don't?

ODV is up 25¢ to $1.00 across the board. Food prices up to a little. My $9.99 salad just crossed to $10.49. Popcorn now $6. Was $5.75.

Made it to Disneyland 69th for the last 69 minutes of ops (and a little more).

I always forget that Oga Garra's birthday is Disneyland's first public operating day (July 18th).

It feels like budget from that Carousel of Progress redo that was supposed to happen with the opening of Tron is still dripping through one quarter at a time.

Woah! I especially like that the seating pattern is modeled off the old hypocycloids that used to be around the GE logo back in the day. This is a deep cut. wdwnt.com/2024/07/caro...

Huh so Europa-Park has big plans for their 50th anniversary next year, I wonder what they will call it... oh god.

one thing I do appreciate about @jason.parkendium.com's lovely new archive, is that I finally got to confirm that the Millionaire display software WAS a copy of the newest at the time - created for the Hong Kong version

One thing I've noticed is that "sorry, my family is up there" line cutting is VERY prevalent in the parks right now. Side effects of LL and "return to queue".

New operational change to me, Racers has added a mid-Lightning Lane queue position to make sure people don't jump the standby queue. No clue why they didn't put back the end of queue Touchpoint.

Millionaire won it's timeslot in Nielson ratings yesterday! Yeah!

The D23 panels are out: ultimatefanevent.d23.com/schedule#/sc... Good to see one of the stages mostly focuses on what Disney fans love: National Geographic

With Twisters spinning our way, it‘s important that everyone acknowledge the single best part of the original Twister’s legacy: Bill Paxton’s astounding performance in the long-retired Twister Universal Studios ride.

This is the Greatest IDGAF Performance Everscreencrush.com When Jimmy Fallon’s ride moves into Universal Studios, it will close this amazing Bill Paxton performance forever.

Seems like with Planet Coaster 2, they're gonna focus on management, which is good. I always felt that, unlike Planet Zoo and it's pretty realistic management (well, Animals take more effort), Planet Coaster felt like a building game with light management. www.planetcoaster.com/en-US/news/2...

Planet Coaster 2 announced! Adds water rides, looks like many of the improvements from Planet Zoo, and an upgraded graphics engine. store.steampowered.com/app/2688950/...

With an audience, it truly feels like Millionaire again, and based on my seating location, I will be visible in some of the upcoming episodes (late in the run). Absolutely fun to see John Carpenter on tonight's Millionaire, and I love that we got a 25th logo! Yeah!

Definitely in my "a YouTube video lets me save $1400+ and still allows me to see some aspect of it today" era.

On its tenth anniversary, I wrote a little bit about Disneyland’s Legends of Frontierland – the strange, mostly forgotten precursor to Starcruiser that fundamentally changed my life. www.instagram.com/p/C9QbBziS1A...

Was back on as of Sunday. :(

The Blackbeard/Davy Jones audio is now turned off on the lift on Disneyland's Pirates.

Tonight is the return and 25th anniversary of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, a show that I've enjoyed in some form or another for its entirety. An amazing soundtrack, a fun short-lived attraction at Disneyland, and trivia. Nothing more me than Millionaire.
