News Round Up 2017

Nothing like a pier that DCA has. Those piers are just for walking out and stuff. Paradise pier replicates old amusement style piers like ones in New Jersey or Navy Pier in Chicago.

I see what you mean. Sorry. Yep, no Pixar movie has that type of pier.

I'm just waiting for the next announcement being..."Disneyland Resort to be changing the name of Disney California Adventure to..."

There's nothing really about it being a "California Adventure" anymore.

I’m an Apple fanboy...

I understand the obsession. It really is a struggle. I have a 6s Plus for work and am currently on a 7 Plus for personal use (X comes tomorrow by end of day).

Still on my original Watch from 2015. I haven't been able to justify an upgrade. Disney trips have gotten in the way haha

Eh, just wait until Sleeping Beauty Castle gets retrofitted to look like Stark Tower

Got the watch series 3. Love it so far. Had the original watch before that.

Oh boy! I was thinking just something like Hong Kong is getting but that would be bad.

If you really want to see the Disneyland locals storm the castle, that will be the day.

Nice! It must be super fast in comparison and the LTE has to be great. Hopefully I can make it a whole extra year. The Woody watch face helps... a little.

I’ve always wondered what would actually make them storm. I think you might be right.

SeaWorld released a preview for their Blue Friday sale.

Great job on the show @rteetz.

Well it’s definitely cheap and quick considering it will open next summer.

The good news is cheap and quick will fit in well at paradise pier.

I'll give you that ... but I'd say "cheap and quick" would be the last theme I would want them to maintain

 

[PaintsWithAllTheColors]

I have to say... as a local, I don’t understand the hate. I really don’t like the theme of Paradise Pier as it stands now. To me, it feels like any other theme park I could go to in So Cal. Pass.

I’m not saying the new theming is great, but at least I’ll know I’m in a Disney Park... this could also be the fact that if I want to go to a pier, I’ll drive an extra 10 minutes and be happy with the real thing

I think the problem is the Pier. Pixar and a Pier don’t go together. I’d rather have a fully themed land than a rethemed Pier.

Speaking of evil plans by Disney, have we talked about Disney basically bullying small theaters across the country with the release of Star Wars this year? Apparently the deal will take away a 10% additional profit from the theaters, and will force them to play the film for at least 4 weeks, or else they'll take an extra 5%

Great job Disney. They will get some heat for this.

Can’t say I’m surprised really.

I was a local for many years and moved almost 2 years ago now... I just dislike that they are getting rid of every ounce of CA theming that they have one update at a time. Also, not every Pixar movie makes sense to be represented on a pier.

I would agree that Paradise Pier is not my favorite area of the park either. However, I like standing by the Little Mermaid ride and looking across the water at the Mickey's Fun Wheel and California Screamin. It's probably one of my favorite areas to take pictures.

It's kinda no different than them placing restrictions on movie tickets. We used to buy discounted AMC movie tickets from work (both mine and my husband's sold them) but when Disney placed restrictions on their films, plus Marvel, and Lucas Films as well as Pixar both work places just opted to not purchase them anymore. The interest from people buying them basically went away. Universal also blocked people from using AMC discounted tickets on movies. They want their $$ that's for sure.

Here is a concept image for the cases.

I think I would be okay with that size.

I have an iPhone 6S. Seriously how have they already stopped making cases for that?

You know, while I agree with all of you about the pier themeing----- midway mania is themed like a boardwalk arcade---- and became very successful. So they are expanding on the arcade theme and adding the rest of the pier..... still no tie in to pixar except that the theme has been started long ago.....and again, I am not disputing the invalidity. (yes, today that is a word.)
