Hoping for these key holder perks..?

So to everyone out here that has had a Magic Key or even an AP back in the day. I hope Disney allows for key holders to experience any soft openings of Tiana’s and Haunted Mansion before the public. I recall back in the day when Big Thunda was opened after years of updates/issues and we were invited as pass holders to experience the ride a week before the public did and it was incredible!

First Solo trip in September need guidance on…

I will be dropped off by a car service at the proper location at Disneyland and I need some basic information on what to do after! Is there a securtiy check in area? If yes, about how far from the initial drop off? After security, if there is one- where do I go next? I’ve already purchsed my ticket online. I just need some basic ideas on how to get from drop off to Disneyland and what is expected along the way. Thanks so much!

the viral TikTok about the worst customer service at Disneyland.

i heard about a couple in TikTok that said that Disney had the worst customer service because of what they were told by a cast member. they were in line for a ride in which it broke down, they were told by the cast member that she didn’t know when the ride would be back up and running and she suggested going to another ride to pass the time until the ride was fixed, they went back and found that there was a line to the ride that was down. i’ve only seen people’s reactions to the video, not the actually video itself, but i’m assuming that they thought that since they left the line to go ride another ride, they had first dips back in line. i’m assuming that since either the ride was back up or people decided to wait, the line grew longer, making them think they had the right to cut the line since they were there first. i has anyone seen the TikTok and can clarify what they were talking about? did they just think they had the power to cut the line?

Noticing a bad trend…

Hello everyone..first time long time. So Ive been a Pass/Key holder and So Cal resident for as long as I can remember. So the family and I just got back from a 2 day trip and man….the amount of closed attractions is getting seriously concerning!!! On the 1st day we were there, the only E ticket ride that was open of the day was Matterhorn with a posted 90m wait. The next day…the only major attraction that seemed to be working here and there was Indy and Matterhorn. Like WTF!!! So insane that a park of this magnitude cant keep their attractions running. Lie what do you guys think the issue is, bc at this rate and experience, its not even worth going in this heat 🙁 Thanks for listening to my rant

Help with Screen Appearance

I know this sounds silly, but my cat jumped on my keyboard while I was reading forums and the font size suddenly got much smaller. It is only the Forums that are affected. The MiceChat main page is the original size. I have tried to find a way to restore it to its original size. There used to be a sticky thread that was like a “help desk” for the forums. I no longer see it. I also did a search and got nothing back. If anyone knows the keys to hit to restore my Micechat screen to its default setting, I will be very grateful. I have an HP desktop with Windows 7. Thank you!

NewsPotential Disneyland Cast Member Strike

Disneyland Cast Member have voted to authorize a potential strike at Disneyland Park. This does NOT mean a strike will happen. But rather the authorization allows the Union to declare a Workers Strike, if contract negotiations do not lead to a new worker’s contract. (Full Article in the link) Thousands of workers at Disneyland voted late Friday to authorize a potential strike as contract negotiations drag on. The strike authorization was approved by an overwhelming margin, nearly 99% of the members who cast votes, according to a union statement. The election was held by a coalition of four unions, which represents 14,000 Disney ride operators, store clerks, custodians, candy makers, ticket takers, parking attendants and other employees. Union leaders will now have the option to call a strike in the event that they are unable to negotiate a new contract deal with Disney. A statement from Jessica Good, a Disneyland Resort spokesperson, reads, “We greatly appreciate the important roles our cast members play in creating memorable experiences for our guests, and we remain committed to reaching an agreement that focuses on what matters most to them while positioning Disneyland Resort for growth and job creation. Master Services Council’s strike authorization is not unusual as part of a negotiations process, and we look forward to continuing discussions at upcoming meetings on Monday, July 22 and Tuesday, July 23. A strike date has not been scheduled, and Disneyland

NewsHungry Bear changes, yea or nay?

https://www.micechat.com/392141-the-…bear-makeover/ From the article: “Unfortunately, Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree will not be a character dining location”. As far as I’m concerned I’m overjoyed that another a la carte/reasonably priced eatery ISN’T being changed into an overpriced all you can eat ‘dining experience’. Especially since HBR had good GF/allergy options. I’d love to see them bring back the recipes from BTRBBQ as a la carte offerings or better yet, the menu and food from Epcot’s Regal Eagle. So say I. What say all?

Sensibility consideration – It’s a small world

Ok, I am bracing for some loaded conversation, but this is a thought I just had. I remember a few years ago, in the reality TV show about pageant girls a mom decided to dress her child as Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, which was problematic since the character is a sex worker and there was uproar around that. Now, on it’s a Small World, the French girls are dressed as can-can dancers (worldwide!). However, Can-Can dancers were the equivalent of today’s strippers. It was a highly scandalous dance that governments attempted to ban and of which many of the performers were sex workers as well (source). Now, is it not insensitive to have dolls representing little girls dressed up in can-can attire then? They are also literally doing the can can kicks in fishnet stockings! I am only realizing how this is wrong right now. I’d be a pity since I believe it’s an iconic section of the ride, but there are many other way of dressing up in French attire (i.e. 18th century royal attire, traditional costumes like here…) By the way, 19th century French enterntainment was very often a double-business for prostitution as well – this was the case with ballet dancers and opera singers, who’d also have to resort or be exploited into sex work (sources here and here)
