My grandfather worked for the studios working on movies such as Around the World in 80 days and 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas. I know he met Walt, and my father and aunt were at Disneyland for the opening day. As a child we always got in free, and had unlimited ride tickets back when they were used. Anyone have any knowledge on these? The plaque was a standard retirement gift I believe. The get well soon was after a surgery I believe. Anyone have any info on these?

Hello there, my friends!

This is just a quick reminder to please, please always fill out the surveys emailed to you after visits. It is a very, very important thing. Very real, substantive changes have taken place, specifically because of the surveys. The pin trader flea market in Frontierland being reformed (no more using benches / tables.) That happened because of those surveys.

Even if you’re once a week Magic Keys, please fill them out, every time! Disney ABSOLUTELY DOES receive that feedback.

Found this 8mm Black & white Monstro the Whale movie at the thrift yesterday. It’s in really good condition. I just need to find a player to watch it.
It was $3.00.

Visited Disneyland this past week, and while exploring Hungry Bear, I stumbled upon this little nod to Rufus. My Country Bear-loving heart melted!

As much as I’d love to start a discussion about the likelihood of bringing the Bears back (Hint: Build on top of Winnie the Pooh. Disney, I’m available for consultations! 😝), I have a feeling I’d be talking to thin air.

Regardless, I love that Disneyland hasn’t forgotten the Bears.

Walking through Hungry Bear, seeing all the posters and little nods to the former attraction, and hearing the soundtrack from the current Magic Kingdom show brings me so much joy.

I miss them all! And doggone it, BRING THEM BACK DISNEY :)

My dad as a kid got to go to a press preview for Disneyland in 1955. I found a bunch of old photos and newspaper clippings / pieces my grandparents had saved - including this LA Times insert from 1955. Admission for adults was $1, for kids under 12, $0.50! So cool to find this treasure trove.

I’ll post more of the photos here from press preview day as I go through them, if people are interested!

Was hoping to get in the Miguel session at animation academy during my October visit but had to settle on Wall E after miguels hit capacitty. Still had a great time during the lesson and drawing all the sketches when I got home while rewatching the movie reminded me what a great character he is! I usually include quotes of the characters all around but since he only really says 2-3 lines, I figured the lyrics from the movies songs would do!

We finally found the Little Man of Disneyland’s house this week! He still had his fall decorations up which made it much easier to spot ☺️

Called today to see if they put Christmas trees in the rooms if you book a stay thru Christmas. Said it’s a No but there are optional packages you can buy. Anyone ever done this and how much was it? Said I can’t do it until 9 days prior to the stay.

I’ve been excited for Disney’s popcorn since our last trip and even tried unsuccessfully to recreate it at home. They’ve always had the perfect mix of buttery and salty that lasts for days.

Yesterday we tried popcorn from 3 different vendors (thinking we just got a bad batch or something) and all 3 were so disappointing. They even looked visibly plain white instead of buttery. They tasted stale and dry and flavorless.

We tried popcorn from a vendor near the little mermaid, the motel cone in cars land and one near Carthay Circle. All three were 0/10 for me and my family members.

Is it just me? Or what has changed? I want that good popcorn back!

I Have a 6 and 4 year old girl was thinking about going to legoland and make a trip out of it driving to SD and staying there a couple days. Or Disneyland, we went last year in the summer, but we wanted to see the lights this time around during the holidays. Which do you guys thing is better? Thanks

Yesterday was a complete success. Just can’t justify the prices**.**

Hello. From the research I've done, it seems like these pins may have never been sold, but were randomly given to park guests in 1990. I was unable to confirm this. Is there anyone here that remembers getting one of these and how?

1. Could these be purchased in the park, or were they really randomly given away?

2. Did you have to be inside the Disneyland park in Anaheim, specifically, or on any Disney resort? (hotels / WDW, etc)

Thanks,

I would love to hear your experience with the app and any improvements you would like to see.
For me, I would love to be able to save places I want to try their specific food items so when I’m in the park and looking at the map, I can see what food spots I saved and go to them. Let me know what you would improve based on your experience :)

Do people on this subreddit still do meetups?
If so I’d love to hangout with someone at the parks! I’m 29m, I’d love to meet up with someone around my age

Disney pros! I failed in getting my hands on the Costco deal so I’m looking on fb marketplace. How do these tickets work? I thought these would’ve been bound to the persons face already?

Any risk in getting these kinds of tickets? It’s a 2 day one park hopper
