Yes it was. One of my favorites growing up.

Thanks I did not know that.

Me too! Kind of want to show my kids the old one before we see this one.

I actually like the Beverly. Wish I could add a little gin to it.

Well, the new Disney Spring Coke store is supposed to have adult beverages in the evening- maybe you can get your wish

Saw BFG last night. It was really good. The effects are especially good and realistic, and it had a great story.

Cinderella did well. Is there another BFG movie? I've never heard of it. Sure it's a book but making that into s movie doesn't make it not original.

Yes, this is the second or third BFG movie

Yes, this is the second or third BFG movie

Looks like it made about $20 million over the weekend so its not off to very good start. In comparison, Finding Dory made about $42 million.

This will be awful for people just wandering around. Hope it's open for my August 20th trip!

The rockwork does look stunning. It will be a really impressive area for sure. I'm just concerned about the maintenance that this rockwork is going to require, but I guess they took that into account.

Agreed, went by the other night and a light was on-not much different over the last few months, externally anyway.

It's just going to move the traditional bottleneck to a different spot.

Not a bad side effect is "forcing" people through the newer area...particularly locals and Florida residents.

Fascinating to see the park so empty during the 4th of July. Definitely a consequence of the massive AP price increase, but very interesting regardless. The rest of the days the park seems to be pretty busy, so I wonder if Disney would be willing to lower their prices back if these situations keep happening on a regular basis.

I just got back from spending the weekend there. I bought a 2 day PH and upgraded to an annual. I just moved to Cali and already have another trip planned so it was worth the price (managed to get it down to $43/month). I was able to do everything in both parks, including parades and nighttime shows in the two days. Everything was walk on until around noon then I utilized FP. I would take a break between 3-7 and finish out the night. I think the low crowds have a lot to do with peak pricing as well as APs. While upgrading at the ticket booth, I saw two families leave after finding out that tickets were $119 each and not $95 like they remembered. And that was just during the 10 min transaction...

We were in Disneyland last October and crowds were insane and heard others say the same thing that crowds were up a lot for the 60th anniversary events ... so wonder the impact of when these special things end (particularly if Disneyland Forever and/or Pain the Night leave) ... that combined with the big price increases could result in some really low crowds in the future
