What i want is all of the Club 33 tiki merch, I just dont want to pay outrageous prices on ebay. As for the magic bands that is kool, though I still think i love my Dooney and Bourke original Passport one the best. The one that was released in white.

Club 33 has tiki stuff??? I think I might have missed a link.

Good news is once it's open, it should be much easier to get to Pioneer Hall. Just hop a bus to this resort from any park and walk over.

That is a good point. Hopefully the building/dining doesn't change much if at all.

GPoint view will suffer, sadly IMO.

Yeah. That's pretty much what was expected. It's brutal for the Fort atmosphere. Another part of Walt's legacy being buried under commercialism. I'm glad we went in January to The Fort. May be done given the price and the giant resort they are slamming down next door. I'm sure Disney won't miss me and there will be plenty to take my place, but they won't know The Fort the way we have for the last 40+ years

New Disneyland double stroller

So trying to figure out how TP has come up with their new Crowd levels View attachment 398896

I am pretty sure they reverted back to what they had prior to the SWGE. Not sure why, but I am pretty sure it matches what it was a couple of months ago.

 

[OSUZorba]

That is a good idea. I wish they'd offer black as a standard color.

Same, I was hoping we could "upgrade" to the new solid colors. The video doesn't seem to show that as an option.

Good way to look at the positive side while I am trying to be negative.

As best I can tell, it’s an annual event at the Disneyland location. Started Sat and goes into June. There’s merchandise - mugs, glasses, swizzle sticks, a shirt, a pin etc - and the menu goes “tiki”

Here are the glasses (not my insta account). If you search #club33 on Instagram there are more.

I know some people feel things like this just make people be on their phone more - but at least the ones we have done in queues for other lines turned into shared experiences and hope this one works out that way as well. I think these are all great ideas
