Disney Parks Thread

That's pretty rad. Nice to see Disney can still make great rides even in this day and age. I understand alot of people were upset when Nordstrom was replaced by Frozen in Disney World Florida.

My family goes every 4 years during the summer but this time we decided to go during Thanksgiving last year. Capacity was NUTS! It was nice to experience the parks during the Holidays, but from now on we plan on going during the Spring/Summer. Much less crowded, the days are longer, and much more to do.

Favorite rides are Haunted Mansion and Star Tours.

Epcot fags get so butthurt if you touch anything (Sorry guys, nobody was riding World of Motion or Horizons when they got shut down) but Frozen Ever After is a legitimately great D-Ticket dark ride and gets bonus points for being post-movie, not a book report.

>>91850016
>Nordstrom
Nordstrom is a store, silly. The Maelstrom is still alive in spirit, the ride is almost exactly the same track, including uphill into a bright light, backwards downhill, etc. All the animatronics are top fuckin' notch, especially the Olaf at the beginning. Looks like he's actually walking around on his fat little legs.

I've never been to a non-US Disney property, but I always enjoy Haunted Mansion and Pirates when I go. I got to go on Expedition Everest 6 times in one night with my daughter as they closed, so that was really cool. Little fart never wanted to sit in front, though.

I didn't even get to ride The Frozen ride because, going during the holidays, it was at about a 2 hour wait at all times.

Rather than wait in line with my fiance, which was her first time going at all, we decided to do other things instead. I'm sure it will be less busy next time we go, especially during the summer.

>>91850479
The lines are a meme. I once queued when it had a posted 90 minute wait, took less than 20 minutes on standby. They artificially inflate them to disperse crowds and fuck with the Guest Assistance Card holders (goddamn retards, we could have a whole thread about the "autism pass")

>she knew what she was getting into

She's seen my pictures and she's talked to my friends who were veterans of going to the parks with me. Everyone told her that she should take it easy and bring me to California Disneyland if she wanted to live through the week. Dumb bint thought it would be nice to book a 4-park for Florida and thought that everybody was exaggerating.

We're still together but she's cancelled the Disney cruise and stay at the Hawaii resort that we were supposed to go to for our honeymoon.

>>91850479
I went in the week leading up to H'ween. The first time we went on the ride, we got in line as the fireworks show was starting. Estimated time was 75 minutes, but we got through in 20.

A few days later we went again during the day with our daughter. The wait then was 2 hours, and by God did it take 2 hours. Sometimes the time is accurate, and sometimes it ain't. I think you can get an app on your phone to tell you the estimated time. Also, when I went, you could go over to the Frozen ride as soon as the park opened; you didn't have to wait for World Showcase.

That German buffet is delicious, but it will take all of your money.

>>91850335
>>91850349
Eh, Frozen Ever After just feels more like a meet and greet then an actual ride.

You have Oaken and Olaf on marketing duty an barking about your trip to the mountain to meet Elsa. Then you pass by a bunch of snot nosed troll kids asking Grandpa to put the DVD of the movie on again. Then you get to the castle and run into Elsa for like 20 seconds before she sings her one song and sends you away so Marshmallow the burly Character Bouncer can fling you off the mountain and then you get some anticlimactic fireworks and an awkward In Summer singalong.

New build over in Magic Kingdom would have been better. Could have recycled those old Enchanted Snow Palace concepts by Marc Davis from the 70s.

>>91850755

You sound like a bitter jerk, and should lighten up and enjoy yourself.

The cruise is great, you're missing out.

>>91850528
Lines may be a meme most of the time but man I'm not so sure during Holidays. Everything telling about wait times was pretty close to spot on.

>>91850755
That sucks that your fiance cancelled your honeymoon plans but from everything you've told you really didn't seem to make it fun for her either. My fiance and I plan on going to Disney World for our honeymoon because we're pretty much kids at heart, and she really enjoyed it even with the busy holiday crowds.

>>91850756
I've always been curious about that German buffet, I'll have to go next time.

>>91850857
>>91850812
I can't deny it. I am a bitter asshole and Disney is the only joy I get in the world apart from family and friends so I have to do it my right and my way.

And the cruises are great. Got to meet Belle's VA and hang out with chip and dale. Shame about the resort, never been to one of those:

>>91850937
My family wanted to give it a whirl after only going during the Spring and Summer. We enjoyed it but we'll be sticking with Spring and Summer from now on.

>>91850937
Magic Kingdom is really festive during the holidays if that's your thing. Otherwise, September has always been the best time of year to go.

>>91850886
My wife really wanted to go to it, being from an uber-German family. I was freaked out by the price and the fact that all you smell outside is sauerkraut, but it's better inside. Tons of food (of course, it's a buffet), live German polka you can get onto the floor and dance to, a nice faux-village atmosphere. I've never had better pretzels and beer&cheese soup. Eat it for lunch and you'll be too full for dinner. It might be cheaper that way too, I can't remember.

>>91850974
>I have to do it my right and my way
That's the problem. Your gf was probably miserable during that trip and wasn't having any fun at all. Go by yourself next time.

>>91850937
I can say from experience that early December is the best time to go for holidays. All the festive stuff with a lot less of the crowds.

>>91851066
It seemed like the last place anyone wanted to go during the holidays. When we were at Epcot we ate at the Coral Reef restaurant. That was really great, price is also outrageous but the service was fantastic and the food was awesome. I recommend going if you haven't before.

>>91851069
For the sake of our relationship, We agree that I am now.

It was an unfortunate but expected outcome.

Been saving up since forever but I finally ahve enough
I'm currently planning a 10 day trip down to Disney World
2 days at each park
and the other 2 days exploring other shit

is 10 days overkill?

>>91851755
Ehh, depends on the person I guess. I would love to go for 10 days but as someone who's gone there plenty of times, I can't imagine spending more than a day in Animal Kingdom and a Day in Hollywood studious.

Until Hollywood studios gets their StarWars, Toy Story, and Avatar expansion I really can't see that changing.

My recommendation: Give Animal Kingdom and Hollywood studios a day each, then the other parks two days if you truly want to. The rest of the money can be used for food at whatever restaurant you wish and cool souvenirs you want to grab.

>>91851755
You can pretty much see everything that's in Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom in one day each. I think Magic Kingdom is really the only park where it would take multiple days to do everything. A seven day trip may be better than ten unless you want to take a couple days to go to Universal or some other area.

Anybody else giant sperglords meeting princesses?

>>91852080
You're supposed to get lost in the trails and go to Rafiki's Planet Watch. Most people just want to ride big rides and bolt.

>>91851888
My fiance went to Disney World her first time last Thanksgiving. She had always been really afraid of people in animal costumes but I told her that when she saw characters that were familiar to her that would change. She was a bit apprehensive about Mickey and the classic characters, but I saw her really start to come around when she saw Stitch her first time, she loved that. She decided she wanted to see Ariel and she absolutely freaked when it finally happened, after that she begged to go see as many princesses as we could, which we did. great stuff.

>>91852011
They aren't boring or bland by any means, they just need more content. Hollywood Studios is going through a bit of an identity crisis right now, you'll probably spend a good portion of the day going around the park and the rest of it doing nothing but Star Tours because the ride changes each time you ride it.

Animal Kingdom, that's a bit more complicated, I didn't really appreciate its size until I went on a backstage tour with my fiance, I wanted to surprise her because she's getting into biology. The park is small but they ARE expanding on it VERY slowly, or at least they have plans to. In reality, the actual park portion of it takes up about 33% of the entire facility, while the rest of the place is a huge area for keeping the animals fed, healthy, etc. It's pretty amazing.

>>91852121
They always stick the ugly Belles in Epcot.

>>91852176

>>91852148
Fucking Sequel Trilogy integration ruins the theme of Star Tours: The Adventure Continues as being between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.

>>91852230
I was a bit apprehensive about the new Star Tours myself honestly, but it was very clever of them to make the ride different each time. I had fun riding it regardless. Went about 7 times in a row. Was so pissed I never saw the Hoth portion.

So they did some hardhat tour of the Guardians of the Galaxy overhaul of DCA's Tower of Terror and it sounds like they're going full on "Ironic edge comedy capeshit" with it.

Like the ride being a disgusting eyesore is part of the whole point because the Collector decided that Disneyland was the right place to set up shop and attract tons of tourists.

The giftshop is connected to the story as well in that by ride's end, you have started a gigantic riot and now all of the Collector's employees are selling off the Collector's shit to make a few bucks in the middle of the chaos.

>>91852276

On the topic of character meet and greets, went to Hollywood studios. Pretty awesome seeing Chewbacca. Went to see Kylo Ren, that was ok, kind of weird hearing his voice come from the ceiling. When my dad asked if Kylo Ren could Force Choke him for a picture the said that was a big nono, I assume for family reasons. Fucking LAME.

Went around and there were a pair of Jawas walking around casually taking pictures with people giving hugs, high fives, Voices, glowing eyes everything. Took a picture with them and told them they were a hell of alot more fun than Kylo Ren, way cooler too. To which they giggled gave a thumbs up and high fived my dad and I.

They need to relax and let us get force choked if we want that. Great photo opportunity.

>>91852390
They're getting like, what that one Guardians of the Galaxy Ride? I don't know of any others in Disneyland.

>>91852390
>tripfag thinks their opinion matters

>>91852011
Hollywood Studios has very little to actually do right now because half the park is under construction for new lands and some other stuff is being closed for no reason. Even so, you definitely want to visit at night and see Fantasmic.

Both parks are neat. Just not enough stuff in them to warrant being there more than one day.

I'm still pissed that the former real animation studio was changed into a Star Wars meet and greet hub. Way to shit on your legacy.

>>91852552

I know about the Sora meet and greet, although IIRC it was done for Chain of Memories rather than the first game. I just want The Heartless to show up in some form, at least they look like Disney characters to some extent.

The meet and greet costume for Sora was also creepy as hell, that's one of the reasons why you don't see him these days.

>>91852921

I know they'll use areas around Disney parks to promote the games, I still remember hearing about some KH stuff appearing in Ikspiari a few years ago and the presale event that was supposed to be in Downtown Disney until they moved it to a nearby hotel.

And there's an official Trading Pin that features Mickey in an Organization XIII cloak.

The suit was certainly weird for Sora, but it was better than nothing.

If you were to go to Epcot or Magic Kingdom today and say that to anyone who was there enjoying their day they would have absolutely no idea what you were talking about.

Who do you think is easier to make money off of? Who do you think the parks cater to?

>Wanting the Heartless to show up at all
That would be cool but as I said, no one would have a single clue as to what they were.

>>91853088
Ah I got the two confused.

>>91853003
its not a mystery. Disney had first dibs to make Harry Potter Land. JK Rowling was on board if she was allowed to retain significant creative controll. Disney said, fuck that, we're Disney we get control. So she said no. Universal, not being retarded, immediately said she could veto anything they did and be as involved as she wanted to be. This left Mickey Mouse standing there with his pants down, dick in hand. So, in a move not to look like a complete asshole in front of the investors, Mr. Mouse grabbed the nearest billion dollar property attached to obsessive creator they could get to show they could work with outside creators. Hence Avatar land was born

>>91853033
Disney owns all the original content created for Kingdom Hearts. It's just that Disney America is mostly indifferent to the franchise.

>>91853167
I love that the original plan would've had Pandora opening with three Avatar movies already released. Now it's opened with the first still being the only one and the next one not coming until 2020 at the soonest.

Even that's not definite because Cameron keeps putting it off and Disney has no assurances that he'll actually stick to the 2020 release timetable and absolutely no way of forcing him to do it.

>>91853292
As much as I love Disney I really hope Avatar land crashes and burns. Fuck Cameron.

>>91853109
>That would be cool but as I said, no one would have a single clue as to what they were.

And you don't really need a reason as to where they're from, that's the beauty of the Heartless. All you need is a name, what they're doing in the parks, and how they got there.

You don't even need to introduce Xehanort to add them, you can just introduce them as minions that Maleficent and Pete control and are giving partial control of them to other Disney villains for shits and giggles. The only wrench that fans would find is The Queen of Hearts controlling them, the Trickmaster Heartless was always the last boss in Wonderland the only hint of a possible villain being there was in the non-canon manga.

>>91853292
Should have just made zootopia. That would have been amazing and made a shit ton of money. As is commonly known, furries have an absurd amount of money to spend on their fetish. Imagine, the furst themepark to cater to a sexual fetish, at Disney no less. I'm going to go drink bleach now

>>91853292
>>91853367
Is there any hype for it at all? I can't imagine who would be excited for it. Even the diehard Avatar fans have mostly abandoned it and moved on.

>>91853414
>furst
I see what you're doing there.

>>91853418
As far as I can tell there's more confusion than hype for it. Everyone seems to be asking why it is rather than when it is. It wasn't originally affiliated with Disney, there is still no sequel, and it just seems shoehorned to people.

>>91853418
in one of the meetings where they were debating on whether or not to make the deal with Cameron, an executive was pointing out how much money Avatar made. Then a saner mind asked if anyone in the room could name a single character from the movie. There was dead silence

>>91853414

Avatarland was thing before Zootopia was even announced, so that's doing it any favors. Disney also has a policy against costumes if you're over a certain age, so fursuits are out of the question.

Oh, and it would've been the theme park equivalent of Rainfurrest.

>>91853554
>Rainfurrest
Dare I ask?

>>91853539
The only legacy that Avatar has is the fact that it re-introduced the annoying practice of movies being in 3D.

>>91853619
It was okay in Avatar and Hugo. All other movies that used it sucked hard

>>91853619
The best part about that is that despite arguably breaking ground with the way it used 3D, nobody actually followed suit because studios realized they didn't need to actually shoot anything in 3D- they could just do a cheap conversion and most people don't care.

If you could have any intellectual property made into a theme park, with the same level of quality as the best Disney park, what would it be? /co/ related or not.

For me it would be Halo.

I didn't mind it in Avatar, because the movie was actually shot with it in mind, but that fucking every movie is in 3D, even when there's literally no reason for it to be so, is fucking dumb.

A furry convention that was discontinued after they failed to find a venue after being terribly run for years.

From wiki
>She was in the wrong place during a ride intermission; it was unclear whether this was due to inadequate training or a misstep as the ride had been open for only two weeks by this time. The ride closed for two days, and was subsequently refitted with breakaway walls.

They say you can still hear her screaming. That, of course, is bullshit. It's just Tony Baxter jerking off behind Autopia.

>>91854020
Kek. But I meant as opposed to a ride malfunction.

I didn't realize furries were so bad at managing cons. I mean I get why their cons would be unwanted for being about a creepy fetish and I'd figure health and hygiene issues would arise from fursuiting in a convention environment, but I figured they'd generally be decent at planning and money managing and those kinds of aspects.

>>91854080
It's not so much that the ride malfunctioned, and more the fact that it wasn't build with the right emergency mechanisms in case of such a thing happening.
I don't know the specific circumstances around the accident, so I don't know how easily it could have been foreseen, and subsequently prevented. But still.

>Episode IX set for May 2019
>which means Star Wars Land is definitely projected for Apr/May 2019 opening
Disney was ultimately fine with letting Avatar drag its way to opening, but I can't see them letting SWL open any later than May, barring any major disasters that seriously delay construction. That means I'm stuck working in this garbage half of a park for another two years, so that I can be on the opening team for SWL.

I really wish Disney would build all the other princess's castles to the scale that they build Cinderella's Castle and Sleeping Beauty's Castle

The tricky part is how it affects skylines and the amount of space used.

That being said, you'd love what they're doing in Tokyo for Beauty and the Beast: Larger scale castle with a dark ride inside. Downside is that they seem to have bailed on the rest of their original Fantasyland expansion plan which initially called for moving Small World to a different part of the land and building a whole Alice in Wonderland mini area surrounding their Queen of Hearts themed restaurant.

>>91853109
well the way I'd want to see them be used is about the same as what >>91853412 suggested, have them show up as the minions for the more famous Disney Villains as part of a Halloween stage show, heck if Disney ever did one of those Halloween mazes they'd be perfect monsters for one

>>91854609
I feel like if they really push, they can get Studio's SWL out in time.

>>91854694
Beastly Kingdom could function pretty well as an Avatar overlay if you shifted the lens from "Storybook fantasy" more towards a 80s album cover/Lisa Frank/psychedelia angle. That's the fringe benefit of picking something so derivative of everything.

The boat ride becomes Fantasia, the Banshee ride become a stable for training Griffins and Pegasi and the Dragon's Keep is a new build that boasts a sweet-ass symphonic metal musical score.

>>91853412

An original IP. I'd fucking love a Cartoon Network land or a Kingdom Hearts land, but I think there's real value to trying to make a unique experience all exclusive to a park system.

Disneyland created this sort of mystique and mythos to it over the years because it's always had this leaning towards stuff that you couldn't see in the movies or on tv. Even with all this IP whoring, I think that still remains true. Even Star Wars Land is being based on new material, not existing worlds or characters.

I'd love to see a new park that took another, more modern crack at the concept. A park designed from the ground up to be an entirely otherworldy experience, something that really used the full extent of modern technology to transport the user to another, more fantastical realm.

What I'm saying here is that I want my fucking robot cowboy hooker world and I want it now.

It still exists here in SoCal, they just changed the way it functions. It more like a reusable FastPass rather than a "Front of The Line" pass.

The problem is getting it, I was able to renew it twice before a CM suggested that I use the FastPass system instead.

>>91854694
>heck if Disney ever did one of those Halloween mazes they'd be perfect monsters for one

Lack of space and blocking walkways are some of the main reasons why "scare" mazes aren't done at Disneyland, another is trying to make one family-friendly.

But adding them to some rides would be a neat trick. I'd love to see Search Ghosts, Wight Knights, Gargoyles, and the Prison Keeper pop up in The Haunted Mansion.

You guys seen the news about the new Warner Bros theme park they're building in Abu Dhabi?
It looks like the end all-be all of WB theme parks.

>Warner Bros. and Abu Dhabi’s Miral have unveiled details for their planned $1 billion theme park — including worlds for Superman’s Metropolis and Batman’s Gotham City.

>The park, which will open next year, will also include Cartoon Junction, Bedrock, and Dynamite Gulch, themed after the Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera brands; and Warner Bros. Plaza, which will be reminiscent of old Hollywood. Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, located on Yas Island and set to open in 2018, will include thrill rides, interactive family friendly attractions and live entertainment.

If anyone wants to know about deaths at disneyland, you have to start with Mouse Tales by David Koenig. In addition to all the fun stories, he went through every single time Disneyland was sued to make their complete legal history. The most bizarre was a stabbing between Samoan and Fijian gangs.

>>91857082
>rooms that have literal cardboard cutouts while you shoot at completely stationary targets on the wall

The best thing about Disney Tokyo isn't the rides. They're short and disappointing if you don't do moon runes. Watch the floor shows, they're ludicrous. Boats and jetskis with giant flags flying around, humongous casts of backup dancers and shit, giant firebreathing dragon robots, it's pure eyeball sucrose. Oh, and DO go to the Indiana Jones ride, the animatronic is hilarious.

I actually hate that things like this and the shit animated series go out of their way to incorporate random songs into the action.

I was in Disney a few weeks ago for the Star Wars: Galactic Nights event and it might have been the best (maybe second best?) time at Hollywood Studios I have ever had.

They kept on giving us free food, free cannolis from pizzarizzo, free lightsaber churros. The rides has 0 lines.

I was waiting in line for a drink and some chick literally ran into me trying to get across the park as I was stepping up to the counter and it was one of the actresses from The Last Jedi.

Cool (but a bit underwhelming) motorcade. Awesome lightshow at the end. Loved the sticker scavenger hunt.

>>91868768
Depends on your personal tolerance for kids and, I suppose, which park you go to. I work around kids, and they're usually not nearly as unruly as some of the more mature grown-ups out there, at least from my experience.

It's ultimately up for you to decide, but it's probably not as bad as you think.

>>91856223
I don't want to have to stand in line next to a severely autistic drooling gibbering rocking back and forth annoyance of a human. As long as too many people don't abuse the system I hardly have to wait any longer in line, so it's well worth it.

Launch Bay has a gift shop and they threw a Star Wars clipshow into the Sounds Dangerous theater but nobody gives a fuck about that.

>>91868921
>They're making DLC for theme park rides.

>>91868768
As somebody that hates the fuck out of kids in general and can even get stressed and anxious around them sometimes, it really hasn't been so bad in my couple of experiences visiting the parks. Unless you get stuck with a particularly unlucky encounter, but that can just as easily happen with a weird or shitty inconsiderate adult in this environment. It's really not like when you come across a kid in the grocery store or public bus having a tantrum because they're cranky and bored and their mom is dragging them along with her errands- these parks are explicitly designed to placate children as much as possible and when they've got so many pleasant distractions and so little to fuss over, they become much more manageable and peaceful. It also probably helps that they're parents are also on vacation and usually in a good mood in this situation.

Just now am I realizing they shopped the fucking NYC skyline into the skyway.

Why would someone do this?

>>91872432
They are really really incredibly homophobic to a weird level. They constantly accused me or my sister of secretly being gay all the time. My father would never go to any parades because he considers them to be all pride parades. Or he just cannot separate pride parade from any other type of parade one would have.

Never got it, really don't want to get it. But I decided later on "Fuck all of it, I'm going to do what makes me happy" because they seem to have made up their minds years ago anyway.

If I were in your position, I'd just cut contact with them.

On the positive side, if you ever have kids you'll be know what not to do to your children, and all around be a much better parent than your own.

Why can't we ever have a Warner Land in the states?

All we have are the most superficial attempts imaginable at various Six Flags. And even then all they do is put Bugs and Superman stickers on generic rides.

It's a loose proof of concept for a version of Nick Universe they're building for a mega-mall project in New Jersey.

What is your best/most memorable experience on Star Tours: The Adventure Continues?

It was the last time my brother had ever gone to Walt Disney World with us and we wanted to have the best time possible. We hadn't been to Disney in a few years so Star Tours II was high up on our list of stuff to do, especially because of the different possibilities.

We rode it several times and we were disappointed. We kept on getting the same ride over and over again and it was the worst possible combination (Troopers, Kashyyk (Hoth a few times tho), the ending was I think it's from either Episode II or the very beginning of III but it was ass).

We decide to go one more time later in the day, just to see if we could get anything else.

That's when we heard the Imperial March playing. Darth fucking Vader appears and we were stunned, we had no clue there was a different opening. That's when Darth Vader revealed the dastardly Rebel Spy to us.

Me.

Fuck, Darth Vader is hunting after ME. I guess we have to go to Kashyyk again (which we did). Admiral Ackbarr does his little speech (I was a bit disappointed bcuz I wanted Leia) and I was bracing myself to Coruscant for the sixth time today.

We leave lightspeed and start drifting towards a red planet, my heart stops.

The Slave-1 appears out of nowhere and suddenly the most dangerous bounty hunter, Boba Fett, is chasing after Star Tours for ME.

Threepio takes us through the not-yet-finished Death Star and I am floored. We finish the ride and my jaw is still on the floor.

That was literally the best possible ride ever ('cept Hoth would have been a better opening and Leia would have been cooler).

We decided not to go on it for the rest of the night (EMH) because nothing could ever top that.

The redux of the Matterhorn and the newly revamped Indiana Jones rides at OG Disney Land are actually pretty under rated. Indiana Jones was always ahead of it's time on the animatronic front, but they really went the extra step this last season to make the realism a big deal.
The Matterhorn has an actual, moving Yeti that chases your bobsled down now. The seats have been redone as well so you're not just sitting in some rando's lap.

>>91872999

>>91872274
Kind of reminds me about how some parents used to feel about my local renaissance fair. They believed that just because there were outdoor alcohol vendors and that open air drinking was allowed on fair grounds, that it was some kind of evil gathering of debauchery where everyone was off their ass drunk constantly acting dirty and inappropriately, and that their precious wholesome children could take no part in it without being corrupted.

Try bringing it up in casual conversation the next time you see a cast member while waiting to board.

>>91873913
This. Worked for a friend of mine. He wasn't even trying, just in all seriousness happened to say to me "I hope I get to be the rebel spy this time!" while we were in line, and ended up being the spy. It wasn't until after we got off later that he thought "do you think somebody overheard me while we were in line?" and realized that's probably a really good way to pick the best person that'll get the most from it.

>>91875858
Disney would have to come up with a system of undercover furry cops to police them and try to keep them away from normal guests.

It's just too much effort to be worth it.

Fuck Euro Disney. It's a shame I love the location but your mascots need to learn some fucking restraint and manners.
I still need to go to HongKong and Shanghai Disneys. It's pretty cool to have gone to all of them to see how different they all are.

>>91877862
I feel ya. Back when I was 11 I went to Euro Disney and I remember there was this Sulley who was just walking around and completely ignoring everyone who was trying to get his autograph. I mean all other characters were great, but stuff like this is still unexcusable.

>>91877862

well take solace in the fact that if they acted like that to you guys, they probably continued acting like that and eventually got fired

>>91867009
In line for Pirates during our honeymoon, some fat guy gets behind us. And starts talking to us. "Oh what are you here for? That's cool, how did you meet? eHarmony? Christian Mingle? JewDate (is this even a thing?)? I've been in Florida for a few months now, this is the [#]th time I've been to Disney (pretty much proving the guy's a parent-funded loner NEET)."

It goes on. The line wasn't too long, so it wasn't THAT bad. But upon the boat placement, they sit him next to us in the front row. I sit in the middle to spare my wife. He chatters through the ride, of course. But then we get to the boat/fort battle, and he starts wincing from the water, and scooches closer to me each time. Reminder, he's not small.

Well, that was when the boat stopped. And started slipping backwards, slowly. Back into the splash zone from the cannon shots. So this sperglord starts uttering loud obscenities and scooting closer and closer and is hugging me harder than my wife is trying to not get wet. And he's complaining and yelling like fuckin' Superman is going to come down and save his fat ass. And this continues for about 10 minutes. Splashes, sweaty cuddles and shouting. Eventually the ride restarts and he's just celebrating until we get off the boat, where cast members are handing out free FastPasses. He starts in on this poor girl like she herself paused the ride. My wife grabbed my arm and started dragging up the ramp before the guy could chat us up again.

Got any food recommendations for California Adventure? Going for the first time next week.

Always refuse to sit next to strangers on rides, especially Pirates.

If you are a POTC cast member and you put people in rows who don't know each other, FUCK YOU. I don't care what your shift supervisor says. I don't care what your manager says. Never fucking do this.

Rides with 3 or 4 people per row are the worst. Good design and moves the line along faster, but the worst.

Why are they afraid? Is it a cultural thing? The Mystic Manor (and it being mostly projection stuff) sucks in comparison to the HM.

>>91884223
The Chinese government is stingy with spiritual shit

>>91884223
It's a cultural thing, but less to do with 'I'm afraid' and more to do with 'overwhelming respect for the dead'. Mediums with ghosts have to be handled delicately, or else you wind up in taboo territory.
