There's a completely in the dark haunted house in Niagara Falls Canada and it's the scariest thing ever. Employees have night vision goggles so you can't see them but they can see you. You have to feel your way through the place, and even though employees aren't allowed to touch you they can come right up to within feet of you and then turn on a light and you jump out of your skin. And that's a cheap place. People will be bailing from that one like crazy.

That is so funny that you brought that up because about 7-8 years ago when my family and I went to Niagra Falls, I just walked right past the place and they had a guy dressed up as the grim reaper following people on the walkway. When I looked back to see how far back my parents were I saw a grim reaper in my face and I ran for my life. Yeah I was traumatized and I still won’t ever walk near that place again and I’m 19 lol.

We used to take high school trips most years to Niagra Falls. That particular haunted house was one of the scariest things I've ever done. I remember having to shimmy through some kind of pipe to get out and ended up nearly inverted at one point.

Appears that Lasseter is not returning to Disney:

Good riddance. I hope this means the return of 2d animation.

Those are all things I wouldn't expect until much closer. If something big was changing such as fireworks or parade then that could be announced early but no need to announced food and merchandise in April. Halloween Horror Nights doesn't even do anything like that.

I know I get it. Really. Just wishing for something. Thank you.

HHN houses are a much bigger deal, since we get new ones every year.

I'm excited for the pitch dark one but it will probably be terrifying. I hope we'll be able to maneuver in the dark.

I've never been to this event and it sounds AMAZING! I really enjoy reading all the posts too. If I do another solo trip this is where I'd like to go!

Good riddance. I hope this means the return of 2d animation.

I’m not sure that will return even without Lasseter.

All of that is so much #nope, there's not enough #nope left in this world.

The Void at Disney Springs, which is the Star Wars virtual reality, has a vest that lets you feel when you are being shot by Storm Troopers. All 16 in my family LOVED the experience. Hope they bring something like this into the parks.

Cool! I've gotta try it. Do you know if they have vests for... umm... larger, Baloo types?

And maybe less sexual harassment. Now I can finally see Coco!

Wait - what? Is this really a thing people wish for?

Coco is amazing!

I'm so pleased they did the right thing (eventually).
My new husband has small children and this has been discussed a bit...and by that I mean endlessly with toddlers who aren't the most rational beings on the planet even if his are very precocious; the younger one can still act like a drunk octopus when you deny him cars.

Yes!! Don't get me wrong, I love 3D animation, but I don't want it all the time. Old animated films are so beautiful. It's a shame that style has nearly become extinct.
