News Round Up 2019

That theater just seems too big to hold what seems like it's going to be a video loop of cartoon shorts.

I think path of the Jedi the old sounds dangerous theater is the most likely location.

My guess, and it’s just a guess, is that it might be going in that theatre that held Path of the Jedi. It’s been closed our last few visits, so I’m assuming they’re done with it maybe?

Completely forgot that was even a thing and makes the most sense

Good to see that a company is still flying people in 747's. Would love to fly in one before they're all retired.

Has anyone seen anything official saying that Big Thunder Mountain will be going down for a lengthy refurb - or when exactly that will happen?.

Definitely big changes and I am optimistic about the head of Disneyland coming to run WDW

I was just thinking the same thing - Disneyland isn't run "on the cheap" as much as WDW is, so maybe for instance we'll get a friggin' night parade. That said, Chapek's supposedly the one that cut all the extras from SW:GE, so he's still putting his fingers in the pies.

yeah, i thought about that too ... as long at Chapek is still the final say then does this really change that much?

But at least it feels like (from the outside) Disneyland cares more about what the uber Disney fans care about so hoping more of those aspects can come over. Also feels like maintencance is (while not perfect) better at Disneyland as far as working animatronics and stuff. But we shall see

I actually feel completely the opposite. I live in SoCal and am at Disneyland every couple of weeks. Whenever I visit WDW (usually 1-2 times per year), I’m amazed by the condition it’s in comparatively. There’s a lot at Disneyland that needs touching up.

Maybe it seems that way for everybody’s home resort, though?

The more you see something, the more you pick up on flaws. I thought DLR was kept up much better (and was much cleaner) than WDW on my first and so far only visit during the 60th anniversary. At WDW, I am constantly seeing things that need fixed. Some are obvious (peeling paint) but some are things infrequent visitors may not need to be fixed (like the smoke coming out of the heffalump on Pooh). I go to WDW so much I know how most things should look and work, whereas at DLR I mostly didn’t know.

Certainly possible - just struck me how on so many rides felt like all the animatronics and effects were working and all just seemed a bit cleaner than WDW.

A lot of things I wasn't crazy about Disneyland, but those aspects were big positive in my mind
