My wife and daughter loved it.

I couldn't ride it because I get sick on spinny rides now. They confirmed I probably would have puked. Stupid age.

Source of the post I couldn't ride it because I get sick on spinny rides now. They confirmed I probably would have puked. Stupid age.

Take some Bonine and live a little. But seriously, I also tend to get nauseous on spinny rides and I was fine on Guardians (with Bonine). It doesn't spin like a wild mouse coaster, it just turns you to look at different "scenes." The only Disney ride that really crushed me and I'll never go on again was Mission Space. Even the green option. Never again.

[Dickie Dunn]

I remember my parents being stuck on a park bench for like an hour after Mission Space. Absolutely destroyed them.

[faftorial]

I've never been able to stomach spinny rides.

[tifosi77]

The only time I've done VR I 'crashed' a car in a late stage beta of Gran Turismo Sport and spun around like 4 or 5 times. I thought I was going to projectile vomit into SF Bay.

So I'm a big fat 'no' on the spinny rides.

Mission Space was something. We did the lower G version and it was a lot.

As a kid, I was fine on the Swings at Kennywood and could handle the Rotor, but Musik Express and the Enterprise totally wrecked me. I might still be able to handle the Swings but I definitely wouldn't try the Rotor again if it still existed.

Went to see Wish (not cruise ship related) yesterday. Overall thought it was very good and signifcantly better than elemental. The animation style and throwbacks to some of the classics were a nice hat tip for the 100 years. Most of the songs are certified bangers and have been hummed in the LITT household non stop. It’s puzzling to me why Disney would call it wish to conflict with their cruise line not wish movie themed but whatever

[nocera]

This is officially the first positive review of Wish that I’ve seen.

[LITT]

i havent looked at any reviews but what are the comments? it captivated my kids (4 and 2.5) and was much more enjoyable than elemental

Mission Space is baller! We happened to get passes to try it out before official open when they were still working out the bugs (and before the deaths) and oh man was it great.

Good to hear. My 10 year old and her friend want to go together and see it. I'm taking the this weekend.

The more intense mission space is nuts. Its the only ride I have ever been on that I was praying for it to end lol

Recently returned from our trip. Stayed at Caribbean beach in the newly updated Trinidad section (little mermaid themed). 85 degrees our first two days. Arrival day spent a few hours at the pool there which is great for kids and families. First park day was Epcot. Stamos was great for the candlelight processional. He got pretty emotional talking about Bob sagat. A bit of a rain out. Holiday party at Hollywood studios was pretty great if you are there for the rides. Basically walk in every ride except RoR all night. The lines for characters and food/drink were pretty insane. MK was great. Park was quiet on the day of the Christmas party.
We did less table service than ever - only had a character breakfast at Akershus for candlelight processional tickets, character breakfast at Hollywood and vine (which was much better than everyone made it out to be) for fantasmic seating (my kids first experience with this and they loved it) and skipper canteen which is usually our favorite but they had made some menu changes that stunk (our server warned us but we didn’t listen).


Caribbean beach was great for Epcot and Hollywood studios. It’s been our favorite skyliner resort compared to pop and boardwalk. The buses are a schlep with the stroller and assorted belongings mainly because our stroller is broken and falls apart when folded up (self inflicted wounds). buying someone’s DVC points for grand Floridian i think is still our preferred resort but will continue to explore

Sounds like a grand time, my dude.

One of Mrs Tif's coworkers and his wife are big Disneyphiles. They were at DLR over the weekend and got to meet Bob Gurr, who was there with someone from the parks but was basically just walking around talking to folks. That is all.

[nocera]

And that’s just one of the reasons why Disneyland > Disney World.

I follow him on Instagram and he seems like the nicest guy in the world. Just saw on there that he's going to be in Kissimmee, FL like a week before I'm going to be back in central FL. Crap. Guess that means I'll just have to try to get out to Disneyland to see him.

[tifosi77]

Ha! Yeah, I just found his IG account like 6 or 7 months ago. Had no idea; it looks like his 'job' is just 'go to the parks and be delightful'.

[nocera]

The Tiana animatronic looks great.



Here it is in motion. Youtube shorts won't embed because this board is dumb.

I'm glad they didn't go for the projection faces again. As good as the Frozen ride is, those faces never look right.

[DigitalGypsy66]

That's the Splash Mountain revamp? Looks good. I don't think projection works either.

Mickey and Minnie were at the office today for Chinese New Year.

I'm other news, we went to the parks last weekend and had a score: Runaway Railway was down when we got to Toontown, so we pulled up a seat in the adjacent dining area. Only took about 20 minutes for the queue to open back up, and we walked directly to the ride. All of the switchbacks were opened up, and we didn't stop moving until we got to the 'movie premiere' room.
