Why wouldn't they extend his contract? The parks are crammed full and they're making money hand over fist. That's all they care about. His actions don't seem to have caused any drop in attendance. They don't care if the experience is suffering or if longtime visitors don't come back. There seems to be plenty of other paying customers willing to take their place and pay more money for less.

Paradise Pier Hotel Gets a California Adventure Entrance​

Guests MUST have a Paradise Hotel key card to access the path.

The new path wraps around the south wing of the Grand Californian and joins the existing sidewalk near Goofy’s Sky School.

After the sidewalk passes the Grand’s BBQ Patio the signed trail will bear right to an entrance queue.

The queue line forms in the area shown below. And just like that, welcome to California Adventure!

Walt Disney World Wait Times for First Week of June 2022​

 

[rangerxenos]

Good Morning.

Walking zombie this morning, couldn't fall asleep, then when I finally did storms came through around 1 a.m. to knock power out, then on, then out. All the electronics in the house had fun cycling on and off each time, waking me up again. Sigh...

Park Reservations “Wait List” Introduced at Disneyland Paris

For guests who want to visit Disneyland Paris but have found that theme park reservations are full for the date they want to visit, a new waitlist feature has been rolled out to the park reservations system. As noted by DLPReport, Annual Passholders are now able to join a waitlist for dates that are already full. If a date becomes available, Passholders who have joined the waitlist will get the reservation.

 

[Jennasis]

A wait list? Really?

I feel like the whole reservation system has created an artificial sense of demand and is causing scarcity. The park Res system is the new Covid toilet paper.

Teamboat Springs Slide Refurbishment Begins at Blizzard Beach

With Blizzard Beach not scheduled to reopen from refurbishment anytime soon, Disney has begun the process of replacing and refurbishing the Teamboat Springs water slide. Friend of the site bioreconstruct recently grabbed some aerial photos of the staging, which includes the installation of a large crane. It’s worth noting that this crane is not related to the mysterious project that we’ve been covering. It’s also unrelated to a permit filed by Imagineering that is focused on Tike’s Peak. There is clearly a lot of work taking place at Blizzard Beach and any hopes of it being open by summer are all seemingly but dashed.

This crane is for the slide replacement and refurbishment project. Here’s a look!
