Yeah I knew about the Aladdin show being replaced. I agree with getting tired of Frozen. I'm sick and tired of it. Honestly, the Aladdin show was pretty good, but Genie basically was the show .

Am I the only one that thinks the Monte Cristo at Blue Bayou is overrated. I had it a couple months ago and I was let down.

Where's blue bayou? Is that inside pirates of the Caribbean

Yup. It's really pricey though. I would only recommend it if you don't really care about your budget, and if it's your first time. I honestly wouldn't go back again simply because the price. The atmosphere is really cool, especially getting the tables right next to Pirates.

I was blessed because my family won a trip to Disney world back in 2006 ( I was 16). It was an all inclusive one week trip for four, food, and resort included. Having 2 meals a day at the parks, and hopping from park to park like a boss, I had a lot of fun. If I ever have kids I would have to do something like that for them.

 

[lightweight champion]

Monte Cristos can feed two. There's so much oil in those sandwiches the weight of the food will carry you through the day. Turkey leg is overrated. It was fine at $7 but $9 is too much for something that looks like turkey on the outside, ham on the inside, and tastes like neither

Earl of Sandwich is king though. Beats everything at DL. Best food is the Tusker House at Animal Kingdom. Simply amazing.

Wait, there's a Star Wars ride at DisneyWorld?

I'm going next weekend.  This will be my 7th time going.

I think that might be Disneyland?

Star Tours is pretty close to Space Mountain.

Disney offers Star Wars Land update for Hollywood Studios

Back in August, Disney confirmed plans for Star Wars Land for their Disneyland park in Anaheim, California and Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. Now, an update has come about some of the Star Wars-related attractions and experiences fans will be able to enjoy at Hollywood Studios and when they begin.

First up will be the Star Wars Launch Bay, which will open on December 1 and features exhibits and peeks behind the scenes about the franchise, in addition to special merchandise and a chance to meet both Chewbacca and Darth Vader.

Furthermore, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue will be equipped with a brand-new section straight out of the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which will be shown as part of every “Star Tours” ride that fans take in the opening months of the new film. You can check out a preview of what awaits you on the ride in the player below.





Finally, an updated version of Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple will open in early December, allowing attending “younglings” to take part in their own Jedi training and also face off against not only Darth Vader but the newly-introduced Star Wars Rebels villain The Seventh Sister.

Looks cool! Our passes are up for renewal in December. Unfortunate they made the new changes to the passes but the second best pass isn't that much more expensive and we usually don't go during the crazy Christmas time (15 days) that we'd be blacked out for. Going on 7 years with a pass.. Headed to Disney world in January - would love any insider tips (been twice so far)

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

For those who are curious to see what Hyperspace Mountain looks like, some guy posted a low light video on YT. The blaster lights look

 

[rfx45]

I was at Disneyland yesterday and they were closed for the media, including the Superhero HQ and Star Tours in the morning.

The YT description says they had a soft opening yesterday, damn if I had known they were going to do it later in the day (went to CA Adventure in the afternoon) I would have lined up too.

Season of the Force in full effect today.



SEASON OF THE FORCE BRINGS A TON OF STRONG NEW STAR WARS ELEMENTS TO DISNEYLAND

Beginning Monday, November 16th, visitors to Disneyland in Anaheim, CA, will find a huge new Star Wars presence at the park. That’s the day Disneyland kicks off their new Season of the Force event, with the debut of several new Star Wars-themed areas and elements.

I attended a preview night for Season of the Force and found it to be, ahem, most impressive. Essentially, Tomorrowland has become absolutely dominated by Star Wars during Season of the Force, leaving only a handful of attractions like Autopia, Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters not looking like they come from a galaxy far, far away.

Even the walls bordering the entrance of Tomorrowland immediately set the scene, as you can see...

Star Tours

In 2011, there was a huge overhaul to Star Tours (which was first introduced in 1987), so that you now can go you to multiple planets from Star Wars, with the experience varying each time you go on the ride. With The Force Awakens about to open, a brand new destination has been added – Jakku, the planet we’ve seen a lot of in the trailers, where Rey lives. In this scenario, the Star Speeder finds itself racing behind the Millennium Falcon, as it battles TIE Fighters above an old, destroyed Star Destroyer – just as we’ve seen in the trailers. It’s a very fun sequence, which includes a very cool cameo by one of the main actors/characters from The Force Awakens, along with a look at some other Jakku locals.

The Jekku sequence is not the only new addition to Star Tours. The mid-way point of the ride now adds BB-8 as one of the possible characters who gives you mission instructions, joining the other possibilities of Admiral Ackbar, Yoda and Leia. On top of that, other new tweaks have been made to pre-existing moments in the ride. One of the possible opening sequences, where Darth Vader tries to stop you from leaving the hanger, now has another fan favorite character by his side. And friends of mine informed me (from firsthand experience) that when you end the ride on Coruscant, you sometimes see the Millennium Falcon, and a familiar face in the cockpit, fly by, as you hurtle towards the planet. Based on this, I’m guessing there are probably other new additions as well.


Hyperspace Mountain

Similar to how Space Mountain becomes Space Mountain: Ghost Galaxy in the lead up to Halloween, Disneyland has given Space Mountain a temporary Star Wars-themed overlay. And it is awesome!

I must note that Space Mountain is probably my all-time favorite Disneyland ride, so when you combine it with Star Wars, well… Its hard not to geek out. Now, as you race along the track of Space Mountain, you are in the midst of a full X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter battle, with video screens depicting the ships hurtling by you, amongst the outer space backgrounds of the ride. Naturally, this is all backed by John Williams’ iconic Star Wars music, making for a thrilling, immersive experience and a crowd-pleasing, suitably triumphant conclusion.



Star Wars Launch Bay

The old Innoventions building has been completely taken over by Star Wars and Marvel – the second floor is now the “Super Hero HQ”, which wasn’t ready yet for this preview. However, the first floor is ready and it’s a really well done area called Star Wars Launch Bay. The area is filled with props, costumes and models from the Star Wars films – when you first walk in, you see a ton from The Force Awakens, from Flame Trooper armor to Rey’s costume and blaster. But there are also plenty of items from the other six films, and even some models and specially made props to represent Star Wars in animation as well, including a model of the Ghost ship from Star Wars Rebels and lightsabers belonging to Ahsoka Tano, Asajj Ventress and the Grand Inquisitor.

This area is where you can also meet none other than Darth Vader and Chewbacca, who each have their own, individualized areas. And both of them will talk to you!



Food and Merch

Look, it's no surprise that Disney and Star Wars aren’t missing out on new things to sell you! And for Season of the Force, there’s a ton of new items fans will be eager to have. While there was already plenty of Star Wars merchandise available in Tomorrowland, more is now at the Star Wars Launch Bay store, including some very high-end items (as in huge, life size statues that will cost you a few thousand bucks), along with character costumes, t-shirts and more widely available Star Wars toys.

On the food front, all of Tomorrowland has turned Star Wars, with nearly every menu item at the different main food vendors themed to Star Wars. My dinner consisted of a First Order Burger (it's good and spicy, though I could have done with a bit less sauce) and fries, a Light Side drink (obviously, there’s a Dark Side too) and a BB-8 rice krispie treat, which was particularly tasty – complete with M&M’s inside! But there’s so much more you can get, including various food items and collector’s cups – the BB-8 sipper cup seems like it’ll be hugely popular, as will the Chewie cup. Check out more in the gallery below, including some of the different menu food items.

Path of the Jedi

In the past couple of years, Disneyland has used the Tomorrowland Theater to showcase special previews of new Disney-owned films, including Guardians of the Galaxy and Tomorrowland. The newest movie to get this treatment is The Force Awakens, via a special new presentation that takes a look back at the story of Anakin and Luke Skywalker, via clips from the Star Wars films, with some effects in the theater (flashing lights for lightsabers, some motion in the seats) to enhance the action.

View media item 1790547
Let’s be clear: this is really just an extended trailer for The Force Awakens, with the long montage from the previous six movies leading into what is basically the most recent US trailer for Force Awakens at the end, with little editing (no, Disneyland doesn’t have any actual exclusive clips from this oh-so secretive movie). But if you love Star Wars, this presentation is really effective and even emotional, with some great moments juxtaposing some of the most iconic visuals from the films – using, say, Obi-Wan’s quotes about The Clone Wars and Anakin from the original trilogy over footage of Anakin and Obi-Wan himself as a young man.

Jedi Training Academy
Don’t have much to say about this one, because it’s not ready yet! But the special experience for kids, who are mentored in the ways of the Force, is getting a big overhaul with new characters and interactions and will re-open in December.
Overall, I loved Season of the Force. While we still have many years to go before we get the true full Star Wars land at Disneyland, this is a great way to bring this world into the park in a big way for the time being. Some of these additions, like the Star Tours enhancements and the Launch Bay, will continue past the Season of the Force event itself, though for the time being, Disneyland isn't saying how long Season of the Force will last. Given the popularity of Star Wars, and the mania that is about to surround The Force Awakens opening, I'm going to guess it's going to be there at least a few months though...

Season of the Force begins at Disneyland on Monday, November 16th. A similar Season of the Force experience is coming to Walt Disney World's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, FL on December 1st.
