We loved that episode. A lesson in learning to really listen so you understand what someone else is saying. We need more of that these days.

Amen to that!

I bet it’s villains themed. Where else would the supervillain lair be but on top of the tallest building?

If they rethemed TOTW to being a Villains Lair, that would be the one thing that would tip me over the edge towards buying DVC. I’d even buy the overpriced direct for that.

CONCEPT ART: Disneyland Paris Reveals More of Marvel Avengers Campus, Including Attraction Names​

Avengers Assemble: Flight Force​

Concept art for the retheme of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster confirms the new Avengers version of the attraction will feature both Iron Man and Captain Marvel. As we’ve seen before, the ride vehicles resemble Iron Man’s suit. It will have a light-up LED façade. The marquee was recently installed.

Mission Equipment​

The main shop of Avengers Campus will be Mission Equipment. As seen in the concept art, it is inside the Stark Industries warehouse, similar to California’s W.E.B. Suppliers.

PYM Kitchen​

PYM Kitchen will be a buffet inspired by Ant-Man, Paris’ version of Pym Test Kitchen with food large and small. We can see some familiar dishes in the concept art. Read our review of lunch and dinner at Pym Test Kitchen.

Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure​

Disneyland Paris will have their own version of WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure called Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure. Though it has a different name, it will be an identical attraction.

Stark Factory​

Stark Factory will be a quick-service restaurant unique to this version of Avengers Campus. The giant Hulkbuster Iron Man suit is on display at the center of the factory-themed dining room.

Roaming Characters​

The final piece of concept art showcases heroes walking around Avengers Campus.

In an odd timing coincidence, just last night I was at the Golden Corral pictured in the lower right-hand corner (after spending the day at Aquatica).

Well you know what they say...the first step is admitting you have a problem. Hopefully we can take this as a sign that things will get better.

The year of a million dreams was a way better celebration than the 50th

OMG I loooved the Year of a Million Dreams. I got special Micky Ears when I exited IASW. I was so excited. My Dad got a free Micky Bar. I was hoping for the all day FastPass, but I still have the ears today.

The year of a million dreams was a way better celebration than the 50th

You’re not kidding. That was awesome. We were there and I can recall seeing the CMs walking around the parks. Didn’t get anything but the thought was in your mind that magic may happen. Sigh…….

Reminder that RESCUE RANGERS will start streaming on D+ overnight. Most of the early reviews have been pretty good and it's currently trending well (currently Certified Fresh) on Rotten Tomatoes:

Rotten Tomatoes: Rescue Rangers

I'm hoping to watch it tomorrow after work as I need an excuse to crack open my case of Brooklyn Summer Ale

Not exactly news, but I caught Rescue Rangers last night and I though it was really *really* good! But, I think there will be some mixed feelings from this film as I wouldn't actually consider it a Rescue Rangers movie. It's probably more of a spiritual sequel to Roger Rabbit in tone and a satire on the animation/reboot industry than a true Rescue Rangers film. You'll probably know within the 1st 15 minutes whether this movie is for you.

This could have been released theatrically with the level of talent involved. Also an insane amount of Easter eggs and deep cuts (Avengers: United they Stand !?) that had me constantly pausing and rewinding. The writing did almost try to get too clever and in-jokey at times, but I still loved it!

I knew from the trailer that this was NOT for me. To me it seems like they are insulting Rescue Rangers and the characters just seemed off - mostly due to the voices. Couple that with the fact that I am not a big fan of Mulaney or Samberg, and I know I'd be on the other half of your audience.

I enjoyed it more than I thought (feared) I would. There were some genuinely clever bits.

Patent Reveals New Ride System for Disney Theme Parks, Movement Based on Collaborative Guest Steering​

 

[Brocktoon]

I knew from the trailer that this was NOT for me. To me it seems like they are insulting Rescue Rangers and the characters just seemed off - mostly due to the voices. Couple that with the fact that I am not a big fan of Mulaney or Samberg, and I know I'd be on the other half of your audience.

I think the high critic scores are well deserved as the film did a good job for what it set out to do. But, I am surprised with how high the audience scores are trending as I figured the fans would be pretty split on this film's take. With some tweaks, the same thing could have been done with any of the Disney Afternoon shows. In fact, there is a post credits scene that some say is hinting towards a sequel ... but I read it as a clever call back to the beginning of the film basically saying we could have done the same with any of these shows.

Hopefully this movie will lead to more interest in resurrecting the Disney Afternoon stuff, as I enjoyed the recent DuckTales show and was hoping they would continue that work on D+
