It's time for a Disney Parks thread. Whose been lately,

I'm going to Disneyland with my family on Sunday

>>78257117
>Going at a peak Christmas time
I'm so sorry

I went to Disney World in July, going again in Feb.


Not even close to rich.

I haven't been since my CP last year and I miss it. I'm trying to save for a Disneyland trip next year, mainly to see Paint the Night now that it officially has an open ended run.

These threads should be made more regularly.

>>78257098
I'm actually heading down early on the 26th. It'll be crowded as fuck down there, but it should still be fun.

>>78257098

Went at the start of the month and did everything I wanted to do at Disneyland and DCA. Season of the Force stuff in Tomorrowland was great shilling for the new movie (that I'm about to watch right now).

Had a bit of a fan moment in DCA too; the Three Cabarellos meet and greet at Paradise Pier is pretty awesome. Wasn't even expecting them there since they're obscure for Califonia goers.

Went last November with the family for 2 weeks. Had a great time. Cost me over 3 grand though so i won't be able to go again for at least another year.

Eat before/during the first parade, catch the fireworks from outside the restaurant, and head to the parade route to watch the second parade, once the exit rush dissipates. I promise you will have a much better time than attempting to scarf down your food, and rush for a spot that will most likely be full by the time you get there.

I'll be in Orlando in 9 days. We plan on heading to Disney at least once, and then again in February. Definitely can not wait!

>>78261304
>and head to the parade route to watch the second parade
There isn't going to be a second parade in early May

Got to go for the first time ever this past Nov. Saw Disyland and CA. Park hopper highly recommended if you go. Got to ride the in the Lilly Belle car through sheer fucking serendipity and got to see the stage show for Aladdin in CA. Highly recommend going to see that if you can since they're gonna replace that stage performance with a Frozen one in January if they haven't already.

>>78261856
Ohhh ok. I know they've sometimes added the second parade back in, during stretches of one parade only schedules, but, it's possible they may not on the day you're there. And its usually WAY closer to the day of that they announce it so that fucks with scheduling either way.
Are you only in MK the one day? And are you only checking through the website/app? Sometimes, rarely, you can have better luck getting squeezed in if you call the dining reservation hotline.

If you can somehow get a 7ish reservation, eat, get your Belle and Beast pictures, and beeline straight for Liberty Square and Frontierland, you might still get a pretty good spot depending on crowds.

DisneySea is the best place in the world and I must return.

They added metal detectors at WDW because of the rise of terrorist threats across the country

I went and saw the paint the night parade and the 60th anniversary fireworks a couple months ago. Was pretty cool.

>>78262169
Plus the guy who brought a gun to MK, last week, and tried to flee when security questioned him. Guess I can't bring my metal flask with me now

>>78262169
Adults are also no longer allowed to show up at the parks in costume.

Then again, it's not like any of us do that, right?

>can't get a handicap pass so you don't have to wait in line anymore

Well, guess I'm never going back to Disneyland. Space Mountain is pretty cool, but it's not wait in line for an hour cool.

>>78262353
They changed that shit specifically because people were abusing it and renting make a wish kids. They still have the cards, you just come back at what the wait time would be had you gotten in line normally. If you stack your card with multiple rides in the same vicinity, you can still reduce your total in line time.

Boy oh boy it's been a while since /co/ had a D-Parks thread.
I wonder if they only pop up when an OP is just about to go to one and is hyped about the trip so he starts one...
YOu know I love these threads because you learn a few cool facts about how things at the park work. Sometime you get a God anon who posts awesome rare pics or links to fun stuff. Even what they do with the Mickey heads once they get to old and that they are chipped but the downer is always the fact that I love Disney and haven't been able to go to a park in over 15 years do to the fact that I'm not allowed to drive. Which is even more sad sine I live in a state that has a Disney park. My room is all Disney from top to bottom tho.

The main downer to these thread is the 35 plus posts you real like
>I'm gong next month can't wait
>I'm going next week
>I'm actually at a park right now and I'm posting from a cell phone
FUCK Christ your at a Disney Park what are you doing on 4chan! lol
or
>I just got back and I'm going again in 2 weeks
>I just got back two days ago and I'm going back in a week
It's not that I'm jelly. I'm happy they can go but it's just a bit of a downer I guess.


The funny part is that I actually typed those quotes examples before scrolling down the thread.
Right before hitting the post button I scrolled down and man oh man it never fails.

What about Disneybounding and casual stuff?

>>78262448
I am aware of the reason, some assholes abused it, so now no one gets to use it because apparently this isn't America, and everyone is guilty until proven innocent.

Went there with a friend the day Hyperspace Mountain had it's official opening. Due to a snafu on his part, he had to go exchange his e-ticket for a real one after I passed through the main gate. In the time it took for him to get in (about 20 minutes), I was already on and off the Mountain. The rest of the day I'd rather not think about...

>>78262873
Just nothing that can conceal your identity. Also, no prop guns either. They've even removed them from the stores.

Dude why?
I went back in 2002 and it was like under $400
Tickets were about $35 to $46. I heard the prices have gone way up in the past few years to over $100 which is kinda crazy.
Hotel room for two nights close to the park was a little under $200.
The rare meal from time to time maybe $150 tops!
Maybe $40 at the gift shop.

I've always wanted to see that show in person. Now I'll never get to.

I'm not sure why she thought that was going to be OK. It's pretty common knowledge that Disney is super fucking strict with their costumed characters, and it kinda ruins the allure for the younger kids to have random ugly bitches walking around ruining it for them.

Disney has so many rules for their in-costumed characters for that very reason.

Saw a youtube video (which I can't find right now ) a few months back about adults with "handicaps" who would rent themselves out to rich fuck families that didn't wanna wait in lines.
It was kinda like rent a crippled person for a day. Some fat blonde lady who has a handicap pass cause she was to fat to walk was making loads of money taking rich fuck families around the park. They would even pay for her ticket into the park.

Anyone can do it if they tried hard enough tho. Just glue on a fake beard / realistic looking nose or put on a fat suite.
Hell now that Transfag people are all the rage you can just put a dress on and a wig. Theres no way they could stop you unless they wanna get sued by the gay activist groups.

I used to go to Disney world and Universal around Christmas time back 1999. It wasn't so bad.

Also I don't know what the cut off age for kids being allowed to dress up as characters but if they are as tall as the characters themselves they should be stopped

I thought they always had metal detectors. At least they did back in the 90s and early 2000s in Florida.

>>78263454
I don't think Disney's concern is with stopping people in disguise just stopping people who can be misconstrued as employees of the park.

Makes sense though. They don't want kids going up to people in costume who don't work for the park.

I can't believe they let these kinds into the parks.

so, I was in Disneyland HK some time ago and Belle was in the night parade.... was she animatronic or something? Just the way she moved.

Went to the one in Japan a few months back. Pretty devastated they don't do the 'Pin Trading' thing. Seemed like it would have been fun.

The new Star Wars thing was neat as fuck, same with Haunted House thing, despite being in all japanese. I'd like to visit an American one.

>>78267485

>>78266099
I live in Southern California, I go to Disneyland all the time ever since I was little. My parents and my sister haven't been there in a while though

>>78266815
Going in late November early December is the best for going to the Christmas parties. If you don't care about the parties and just the decoration/atmosphere, mid January isn't too bad.
The first few Halloween parties in September are relatively empty.

Anyone have that Disney Villains park idea? The archive died so I lost it.

I went to all 4 parks this week Saturday-Tuesday with my family. High Schoolers and elementary schoolers were all still in school so long lines weren't too big of a problem (Besides MK on Saturday. 7DMT Yeesh). Went with my family. Was a super good time. Osbournes Family lights were cool. The new Star Wars thing was cool.

/cgl/ actually tends to have good Disney park threads because there's usually an ex face character or someone lurking around that tells lots of good stories.

>>78268854
>Disneyland 'Villains' park, with more rollercoaster and thrillrides, as sort of an inversion of Disneyland
>Main Street USA/Liberty Square is replaced a dusty old German village, under a massive mountain at the center of the park, which hold an indoor cave system to various villain attractions
>Adventureland is now Splendoreii, a Roman Town under a massive lava flow running through carnival proceedings, chariot races and markets, that the town just built around
>Tomorrowland is a bustling grimy space port, where seedy pirate characters and raiders make their share, and Alien Encounter now makes its home, rebuilt and upgraded
>Fantasyland is a Forbidding Wood hiding rides and attractions and hovels, even a friendly huntsman's lodge for dining
>Frontierland is Gravemarker, Arryzonia. A hootenanny of outlaws, rough riders and generally uncouth folk
>At night, instead of Wishes, there's NIGHTMARE, where projections cast shadows on the German Village, as the Mountaintop opens with a giant Chernabog robot appears, and Night on Bald Mountain is recreated with pyrotechnics, projected images and fireworks

>>78269008
will it uses Maleficent's castle as the focal point?

>>78269292
Why aren't Disney giving you funding? That's a way better idea than Avatarland, which still hasn't come out.

>>78269292
No, that's too obvious. Bald Mountain is the focal point.

>>78269292
For some reason, I always imagined seeing this happen during the Halloween season in DLR. I mean, the castles are near identical.

Nah. I just went to Disney/California earlier this year and they still just check your bag and let you walk on through. Maybe have a detector wand for people who look kind of fishy, but I never saw it.

>Tfw when you get off matterhorn and paint the night is just starting
Magic is real senpai

Going to Disneyland for a couple of days this weekend, got reservations for Carthay Circle and Blue Bayou. Fingers crossed that it won't be unbearably crowded, but I know that's just wishful thinking. Still plan on having a great time.

>tfw when you fall in love with a local the last night of your dlr trip

Just went for the first time to wdw with a couple of friends but while fun I don't get what the big deal is exactly. Maybe it's because I'm just a miserable person but I just get "it"

>>78274070
Did you not grow up with disney movies?

>>78274898
For the most part no so I know that factors into it but even still it was a cool place. I just don't see how some people go tons of times each year, I can see maybe twice or going for certain events

>>78275097

Personally, I love the rides, the decor and I adore character meet & greets. Gaston's "friends" are always on point, and the villains during MNSSHP are all great too.

The lack of research (and effort) in Escape From Tomorrow makes me cringe so hard

>>78275188
Like I said it totally had some cool stuff going on and I missed a ton of things so maybe when we go back in Feb for another persons birthday I'll have more understanding of the "magic".

I should note that I was basically playing 5th wheel so that probably didn't help
