Regal View Restaurant men’s restroom is—literally—nicer than all of opening day Walt Disney Studios Park. That’s not really saying much, but kinda odd this has happened with two different Disney park remaining projects restaurant restrooms.
Carthay Circle Restaurant men's restroom is--literally--nicer than all of Sunshine Plaza.

I now know a fraction of what it must’ve felt like to witness the Miracle on Ice. What a game. Legendary performance by Connor Hellebuyck. Wow.

Would love to see these on the actual TBA. Incredibly well done, and would restore some charm and personality to the attraction.
Whenever Tiana’s Bayou Adventure launched I was disappointed that the ride signage and details were sadly lacking…so I decided to ‘imagineer’ a few things I wish they’d have done for the signs and log hood ornaments… #tianasbayouadventure

I don't think some younger fans (or less dorky ones) realize just how *huge* this is. Universe of Energy's BGM had been lost to the sands of time for decades. I remember threads about this on mousebits way back in the day. Absolutely incredibly to have this. Kudos, E82!

A 14-camera video of the unnamed Epic Universe closing show. Including aerial views! All the Celestial Park lighting is part of this spectacular end of a day in the park! It's incredible! This might a fantastic way to tell family and friends "You Gotta See This" show.

When I first saw Wall-E, I couldn’t believe it was a Disney movie because it, ahem, hit a bit close to home. To each their own, but I also think people are more forgiving of messaging if a movie is actually good and thought-provoking.
That’s right, old Pixar never had any messaging! I swear if these exact same movies came out today somebody would talk about how “woke” they are

There were only 22 California condors left in 1992 when the recovery program began. The Los Angeles Zoo hatched 10 chicks just this season. What an incredible endangered species comeback story.

Well, hello LA925! 😍 Just days old, this California condor chick is already hitting big milestones — eating well, gaining strength, and growing steady. #LAZooCondorStories

Not as 'sexy' as park expansion, but I've been excited for Eastern Gateway for a decade & am elated it's finally happening. Huge QoL win that'll shave lots of time off our visits to Disneyland. Here are all my thoughts past context, etc. disneytouristblog.com/easter…

Hopefully this is the Duffy comeback that America needs. Even though he's canonically from Massachusetts.
NEW: A V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days character greeting is coming to Der Teddybar in the Germany Pavilion at EPCOT. The character will make appearances June 9 through July 31 from 10am to 6pm.

As a big fan of the 'Weird Disney' genre, this is a great entry. Something we'll look back on in a decade or two as a nice time capsule of the moment, right down to characters in the Disneyland 70th costumes.

Among other things, this is my big issue with replacing MuppetVision. Shows have a low ceiling and often don't age well. MV3D has defied that and has aged better than the much-newer Monsters Laugh Floor at MK. Its replacement won't look this good even 10 years later.

Monsters Inc area could be great. The issue is replacing things they shouldnt. Muppet Vision is a perfect show they could not top if they tried. There aren’t many things at WDW that can’t be bested by new creations. They keep finding them: Muppets, Rivers, Illuminations, HEA, etc

I'd also argue that MuppetVision has become an iconic attraction of historic significance. I get the desire to have a Monstropolis miniland, but use some dumb framing device to explain-away MV3D's presence in that. "Muppets bringing laughs to Monster world" or something.

Hard agree, but for those who only drink free water. Epic Universe has an unrivaled water bottle filling station game, including several in queues. The Tokyo DisneySea of water (well, potable water).
As a non-drinker, Epic Universe is far & away the greatest theme park I've ever been to for drinks. Well-priced mocktails at every bar, soda machines around every corner w/ specialty flavors, dozens of elite drinks in SNW & Paris. There isn't even a close 2nd for sober drinkers

NEW POST: It's a small miracle Epic Universe even exists, and is this good as opposed to being a big boondoggle. Here's my portal-by-portal review, ultimately assessing how it 'competes' with Tokyo DisneySea, Shanghai Disneyland & recent domestic parks. disneytouristblog.com/epic-u…

“We think there’s a large audience for compelling stories that don’t require massive time commitments" and "focused, linear experience" are speaking my language. I'm an adult (allegedly) with responsibilities. Nothing annoys me more than games that waste my time.

Certainly I'm not alone in this? Millennials are all getting older--our time is often a more precious resource than our money. And yet, all I see is complaints about X game not being "worth it" because it's "too short." Nonsense.
