Alright, I’ve been sitting on this for a while, but here it is: As much as I love Disneyland, and I do, this whole effort to turn it into a weeklong, global vacation destination like Disney World? It just doesn’t work. It hasn’t worked. And barring some wildly radical changes, it won’t work. Yes, Disney has been trying. They’ve been adding new lands, updating hotel experiences, and launching forward-looking initiatives like DisneylandForward. But they’re running up against a very real wall. It’s built out of Anaheim zoning laws, infrastructure constraints, and decades of urban sprawl. And on top of that, trying to change the type of guest that comes to Disneyland. Let’s look at the core problem: Disneyland simply doesn’t have the space. Unlike Disney World, which was built on a 25,000 acre sandbox in Florida where Disney could do whatever it wanted (literally with its own government at one point), Disneyland is boxed in. It’s surrounded by roads, strip malls, residential neighborhoods, and hotels that Disney doesn’t even own. There’s no bubble. You walk out of the Grand Californian and you’re steps away from a Denny’s and Harbor Boulevard. Immersion? Gone. And then there’s transportation. If you’ve ever tried to drive to Disneyland on a weekend or God forbid, a holiday you know the pain. Southern California’s public transit is patchy at best, and there’s no streamlined connection between the resort and major airports like LAX or John Wayne. Compare that to how easy it
Hi all! I obtained this rotocast mold of Mickey, stamped on the inside Walt Disney Productions. It’s about 18-20 inches. Any ideas what it might’ve been used for? Thanks!
Just looking is Blue bayou no longer part of the dining package for Fantasmic? It just the 3 venues now? Thanks for the assistance
In my last visit to Disneyland I noticed that many of the benches all over the park have disappeared. There are no benches anymore at the train stations except for Main st. Benches in Calif Adventure also have gone away. For being 60 years old, I miss them as I used to relax with popcorn and people watch or wait for a parade. Now I just leave the park and go sit in Downtown Disney. Any reason why they disappeared?
Starting Tomorrow, Disney will temporaily close the pathway connecting Cars Land to Avengers Campus due to construction work for the Avengers Expansion. The pathway’s closure will last until Summer 2026.When it reopens next year, the route will also feature new bathrooms facilities between the two lands. Construction of the two new attractions (Avengers Infinity Defense and Stark Flight Labs) is already underway, with opening dates yet to be announced.

Anyone here follow that Disneyland influencer Hey Brickey!? He used to haunt Twitter like it was his full-time job, but now he’s migrated to YouTube, where the algorithm apparently rewards excessive enthusiasm and ring lights. Anyway, his latest hot take is that Disney might be thinking about axing Star Tours [hit link]. Yes, really. Cue the pearl-clutching and vague threats of annual pass cancellations. My 2 cents: The blogs, the tweets, the breathless speculation—as if Galaxy’s Edge didn’t just waltz in like a nouveau riche neighbor with no taste and too much square footage. Please. I get it. Disney has the money and a Millennium Falcon, but do they care?! Let’s get one thing straight: unless one is on the Disney payroll or wear a blazer with “Imagineering” stitched above the pocket, maybe sit this one out. Here’s what matters: Disneyland. Not Florida. Not Paris. Not even some vaguely depressing cruise ship with Goofy in a tux. Disneyland. The real one. The original. The sacred 714… if they even think about bulldozing Star Tours, I swear to you, it won’t be a closure—it’ll be a crime. A cultural erasure. The architectural equivalent of burning a first edition Hemingway. But, the Magic Kingdom is getting rid of Rivers of America. Still, let’s not forget, this attraction where it calls home (Tomorrowland) hasn’t had any meaningful work done since 1998—and even that was like putting concealer on a statue. The structures? Pure 1966 (except Space Mountain). Which in Disney
