What did I miss in the last 48 hours?

There were also some rowdy guests trying to be the "last" ones to ride Splash Mountain. I saw pictures on Twitter where the park manager and security had to be called around 11pm to get people to move through the line as some people were stopping in the middle of the line so that they could jump in at the end to be the last ones to ride. Nothing more than that happened, though.

Oh and people on ebay are selling Splash Mountain water LOL I saw a listing for $150.

My favorite one so far is someone selling a twig that was supposedly a prop on the ride for $2,000.

That phrase also works as one of those euphemisms for crazy to describe whomever would actually buy it.

Oh, I didn't realize that there was a car designed like that - that's cool and will be good for people who can't ride the standard vehicles.

I just saw this listing on ebay:

"Splash Mountain bag and tap water from my sink. Rare Read Description.

This is obviously just for fun and to make fun of the people who are really selling water from a ride. I’m a Disney fan but come one people has the world gotten so doomed that people would buy water from a ride. Smh if you really want this water buy it. I’ll even do free shipping!

Have a magical day!"

The price is $25,000.00. I wonder how long that listing will stay up there!

Ashley Eckstein, Indira Varma, Giancarlo Esposito, and More Celebrity Guests Announced for Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023



Ashley Eckstein, the voice of Ahsoka in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” “Star Wars Rebels,” and “Tales of the Jedi,” will reunite with fellow Clone Wars alum and Sky Guy Matt Lanter, the voice of Anakin Skywalker, as well as Dee Bradley Baker, the longtime voice of clone troopers in Star Wars animation and most recently the majority of Clone Force 99 in “Star Wars: The Bad Batch,” performing as Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Echo, and Crosshair.



And from live action, they’ll be joined by Giancarlo Esposito, whose nefarious Moff Gideon challenged Din Djarin and hunted Grogu in “The Mandalorian,” and newcomers from the “Obi-Wan Kenobi” limited series Vivien Lyra Blair, who brought the spark of rebellion to young Leia Organa, and Indira Varma, who played double-agent Tala Durith. Official Pix will once again manage all autograph guests at the show.

Single-day tickets will be available starting this Friday, January 27, at 9 a.m. PST on the official Star Wars Celebration website.

Hey, stop pooping on my retirement plan!

I also have for sale blades of grass from every super bowl ever played (including games on astro turf), dirt form the mound of every world series game ever played, dust clearly left by ghosts in the haunted mansion, and hunks of ice form the iceberg that hit the titanic. And if you have to ask me the price for these rare items, it means you can't afford it

 

[DisSurfer878]

Oh, just major crowds and the possible attempted theft of the Br'er Rabbit "you may get wet" sign. The way DISer's talk about it, I'm surprised that nobody chained themselves to the entrance in protest.

Honestly not even remotely surprised someone tried to take the sign lol

Disneyland released additional details about Wondrous Journeys, the new spectacular that debuts on Jan. 27.

The show will include nods to every film released by Walt Disney Animation Studios (including the upcoming Wish film) and 18 Disney songs throughout the show.





And here is more about the moment Baymax takes flight:

"During a climactic moment in the story, the thumping bass of the song “Immortals” from “Big Hero 6” can be heard as Baymax takes to the skies over Disneyland Park with his rocket boosters propelling him into the night."

World of Color – ONE will debut at Disney California Adventure Park on Jan. 27.



Disneyland says it will be their first spectacular to feature "characters, music and stories from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, the Avengers and Star Wars" in the same production.





Disneyland says the Avengers portion is inspired by the illustrative, graphic-novel style that can be seen in the Black Panther and Hawkeye end credits.



Star Wars features a painterly style that is largely based on original production art from the films.
