Ads are done by google ad sense. The site admins have little to no control over what shows up. It is based on things like user cookies and google analytics.

I have the Dragon City ones too, but multiple times today I've run across ads for things I don't wanna read about - one was an adult manga comic and one was an ad for um men's assistance pills. I'm not a man and I don't read manga, much less adult themed manga. Lol.

There may/should be a way to report the ad. It may require you use the x/close or there may be a ? or something else you can click/tap and get a report option. It's the best way since Google is likely to do it to you on other sites.

Disneyland Reveals “Trainsformable” Runaway Railway Cast Member Costumes
Disneyland has revealed “Trainsformable” Cast Member costumes for its version of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. Here’s the announcement:

Disneyland Resort cast members are on track to welcome guests aboard Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, coming to Mickey’s Toontown beginning Jan. 27. The next stop on the journey to opening day? Costuming!

The Costume Design and Development team engineered a “trainsformable” costume with fully reversible features, allowing cast members to switch their costume to adapt to the scene at a moment’s notice. The costumes feature vibrant colors, eye-catching textures, hidden Mickeys and other elements that connect to the attraction.

“The artwork that’s on the vest is designed by Joseph Holt, who’s [an] animator and artist who works on all of the cartoon shorts,” said Yonit Olshan, costume designer. “Our cast members and their costumes are completely in line with the vision for the entire attraction; they really are a part of the show.”

Last night (around 10 PM) I was in line for Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom. While in line, I saw the lead Imagineer for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure - Charita Carter - talking with a small group of people (I imagine Disney employees). They would stop at various points in the queue line appearing to discuss what their plans are for the retheme.

While I was excited to ride Splash Mountain for the final time, all I wanted was to listen in on the conversation she was having to learn more. Definitely a neat way to end the night.

Photo included for reference.

NEW: The EPCOT auto plaza marquee will get a new look later this month. And starting today, character-themed parking lots will be added that includes “some of the heroes and sidekicks who represent concepts” in EPCOT: Crush, Dory, HeiHei, Moana, Rocket, Gamora, WALL-E, and Eve.




The parking lot will be split into two sides: Earth and Space.

Disney said the changes “reflect the identity of EPCOT and its four neighborhoods, celebrating the magic of possibility and stories inspired by our real world made fantastic.”

I'm not one to complain about the inclusion of IP in Epcot, but IP in the parking lot? That's the final nail in the coffin of the opening day Epcot concept.

At least they might be more memorable than Journey. Or was that Amaze? I could never remember.
