Lol honestly I would have loved to be on the boat as it sunk. It was be a unique story of being walked off a ride after a break down. I suspect Disney prob gave everyone fresh clothes but i wonder if they have to replace a bunch of phones cameras and such, that could be pretty high compensation for some people. Now me I would have been like hey can i get 2 more APs?

I agree. My family sent me the photos last night because they know I am obsessed with this ride and they were like, bet you wont ride it now. Quite the opposite, now I'll feel short changed if my boat never sinks hahaha. Maybe Chapek can find a way to make this an add on experience - $150 for a totally immersive sinking boat experience.

I would have totally went to trader sams that night and told the horrific story of the sinking on the river cruise and how I barely made it out with my head and of course I would have been drinking a hippopoto-mai-tai

I just have to say I am soooo jealous of that new parade at Disneyland. Moana and Coco!!!

Is it me or does the moat spend more time dry than wet these days?

It was drained while we were there last May, when they were completing that new walkway. Now it'll be drained for our April trip. Sigh. Not a huge deal, since you don't really see the moat in most pictures, but kinda sad anyway.

I wouldn't put much into this one. Those vehicles hit each other fairly often. Doesn't sound like there was any damage and the ride was back up quickly.

Excuse me Disney?

I want to take my 4yo to see Onward but I have no interest in exposing her to the Simpsons.

Not sure how I feel about this. I've got no problem with The Simpsons, I just feel like part of what I enjoy most about a lot of the Pixar shorts is their uniqueness in storytelling and, generally, characters.

I'm sure it won't be crass. Seems like from the title it likely won't even have dialogue.

Speaking on Onward, only just realized there are advanced screenings of it tomorrow ... just got tickets to take my kids (works out well as I can take them to that while my wife is at a baby shower)
