I don't think DL itself is going downhill at all, but I think management is and if that doesn't change, DL will eventually follow.
Really? Josh is doing a great job.

I think she is referring to Potrock. I think we need more time to judge. This has been a rough period since he took over in May 2020. But I think hee deserves more time as this pandemic has been hard for everyone in the economy.Really? Josh is doing a great job.
I was actually talking about Chapek, lol. I'm sorry I didn't explain myself better. His ascension to the helm of Disney has not, IMI, been a good thing for Disneyland. It has possibly been better for WDW, as they have been the recipients of much of the creative genius formerly in CA at DLR, but I personally don't feel that Chapek is a good choice unless your primary interest is maximizing profit. I'm dismayed at the apparent choice to focus on shareholder happiness over that of employees and park & hotel guests. l strongly believe that it is preferable for ALL parties if Disney does what is necessary to maintain and even increase DLR's profitability, but balance that with providing the stellar guest experience for which it's known. I believe the key is in that balance. I don't see Chapek as someone who recognizes the value of that.I think she is referring to Potrock. I think we need more time to judge.

That said, there is something about nostalgia, thing is everyone has nostalgia for dif shows and attractions. Maybe there should be an 80's night event for example that has the obscure characters you mentioned. Lots of folks would love it.
You may be misremembering things. With regular FP and MaxPass, you could ride FP rides multiple times, if there were FP available. With MaxPass, you could only get an additional ride once you had used your original FP. MaxPass was not free though.I remember when Disneyland would let you ride each ride twice but I think it could use some improvement because it used to be that rides were always free to ride twice.
I think that one of the main reasons why Disneyland is going downhill is not only have they done changes since the pandemic began and it's closure besides removing things that make Disneyland great such as full character meet and greets parades and shows is ever since Disneyland debuted Genie+ and the Lightning Lane system is the new rule is riding a ride only once and I remember when Disneyland would let you ride each ride twice but I think it could use some improvement because it used to be that rides were always free to ride twice. I think Disneyland is trying to copy Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk with this new ride rule and also I think they should bring the ride twice rule back. Because having to ride favorite rides twice was a special joy for my dad and me. Another thing that I think is responsible for Disneyland' going downhill is that they should lower the prices on snacks and food because I remember when you could get a small popcorn for real cheap but if you go to Disneyland and get any popcorn or ice cream bars or even churros you'll be shocked at how pricey they have become to buy and the same thing for nachos and hot dogs too. If Disneyland could improve these things they would not go downhill anymore
Genius. Pure Genius. Coming from one who remembers Darkwing Dark, but was never a fan. I, however, can (and do!) frequently uh, “sing” the Intro to the Adventures of the Gummy Bears at a volume which makes my ‘doodle run for the hills…and don’t get me started on DuckTales, WOO-OO!!!
Yeah, DH and I would fly in for such a 90s throwback night. No kiddos necessary, cause they wouldn’t know any character we’d be dying to see!
To echo many who have posted, change is necessary to keep the parks vibrant and relevant. And while I think it would be a great event night to showcase the characters I remember fondly, when I spend money at the parks these days, it’s for the characters my KIDS want to see, not me.
That said, it’s really a brilliant idea. Disney After Dark “Disney Afternoon” Throwback Event. Honestly, tell me that wouldn’t sell?!
