DISNEYLAND/DISNEYWORLD APPRECIATION THREAD vol. It really is the happiest place on earth

My daughter being 3 had nothing to do with the overall experience. Even if she was older I'd feel the same way.

Fast passes come with your ticket purchases....EVERYONE will have a chance to bypass lines for rides at some point.

 

You can always do the wheelchair thing. It's morally wrong...but extremely effective. It's a unethical lifehack.

 

you can tell who didn't get to go as a kid.

 

I got to Disneyland quite often. Have had an annual pass for 6 years now. There's something about the experience that the employees (cast members) provide to guests, and the little details and history that's provided to everyone. Was there this past weekend, actually. I'm a frequent user of the Disneyland app "Mousewait" - not sure if there's any others on there, but it's a big help to see what's going on, wait times, places to eat, etc.

 

I damn near go for the holidays .

 

Fast pass is free tho...

I love Disneyland, I go 2-3x a year. I did the 24 hour day there last year and might do it again next month. The design and attention to detail is impeccable. They know how to pull you in and they also know how to get your money. It's brilliant.

If you know how to use your fast passes correctly you can do everything of note in both Disneyland and Cali adventure without really waiting in line. Real Disney heads even know how to get the Dole whip without waiting an hour

I would tell NTers to bring their girl there but we all know it would just end up looking like this

 

Im suprised the annual pass doesnt cost more. But I kinda dont need to go a ton of times a year.
If you go once every 5 years youre good. Never understood people who go like once a month. Dont you get tired of it?

 

Epcot is probably the most underrated place on earth

The futuristic architecture in Future World and the international architecture in World Showcase 

The foreign female cast members working in the World Showcase pavilion representing their home country (Norway )  

Captain EO weird as hell but hilarious and  

Drinking and eating around the world   

Japan's Mitsukoshi store with all the anime type ish and dope Japanese snacks 

Copping gear for the Canadian hockey teams and various international soccer teams from their respective pavilion 

The German hot pretzels 

Le Cellier Steakhouse in Canada 

The Monorail going through the park 

The Canada 360 movie with Martin Short 

The g-forces on Mission Space 

Spaceship Earth lit up at night 

All the rides are indoors so you get that AC on a hot day and can duck out of the rain during an afternoon rainstorm 

The background music 

IllumiNations fireworks 

Letting the crowds leave after the fireworks and sitting back and enjoying the night atmosphere in an empty park  

Staying at one of the hotels right behind the park and using the special entrance in World Showcase 

I could go on and on forever with all the cool ish there that makes me happy and if you disagree you're probably doing it all wrong

Each of the parks in WDW has a ton of cool stuff but I feel like Epcot is particularly cool

If you aint like Disney World you've either never been there or had a bad experience there due to poor/careless planning

 

im in the north valley b

reppin porter ranch all day b

 

You cop a pearl for your lady in Japan , flower and garden festival also food and wine

 

been to disneyland, disneyworld and tokyo disney. not worth waiting in the lines. only thing good was the smoked turkey leg. best entertainment was seeing a seagull steal an old lady's burger right off her tray as she was walking to her table at disneyworld

now that i have a son, i know it'll be mandatory to go back and i'll probably enjoy it if he has a good time.

 

Been to Disneyland and Disney Tokyo. My ex was a big Disney fan; never got to go to Disney World with her.

All I remember from Disney Tokyo was soy sauce popcorn. 

 

I'm from So Cal. and went to Disneyland and California Adventure numerous times. Its pretty much eeehhh now. Its funny i have some friends/fam like OP that swear by everything Disney and have annual passes and try to go as much as possible. Cool for them its nice that they can relive their childhood. Sure i have a decent time when i go but i'm ok with just going once maybe every couple of years.

I'm more into roller coasters so i always preferred Six Flags and even Universal as a kid.

Oh and i also went to Orlando and did the whole disneyworld parks. Had a good time and knocked all the parks in like ten days. After the trip me and the GF were like i think i'm good with not going to anything Disney for a couple of years.

I might go back though once they build that Avatar land.

 

Grew up going to DW every year as a kid. Had a family connect on the discount passes.

Stopped going around the age of 16. But I loved it.

Ima tell ya'll this though, Nickelodeon/Universal studios in the 90's > Disney, and thats a fact.

I loved epcot, and the Disney cruise was tuff too. Unlimited ice cream, hot dogs, and chicken tenders room serviced 24 hours


But straight up, Nick studios ******* on all that

Tomorrowland at MK though was always my favorite

Animal kingdom sucked. If they're making Avatar land, it might become the GOAT though.

And whoever said Disney pays very close attention to detail ain't lying though. Its truly amazing how they've done these parks. I'm a Disney fan for life.

I'm taking my son when he turns 3-4. Got a couple years to save

 

Disneyland is fun, if I was to ever recommend a place to eat inside the park it would be Plaza in, right off main street. The fried chicken has always been on point, and the pot roast isn't bad either. Also if you eat at certain restaurants you can get a preferred viewing fast pass to see shows like world of color extremely up close! I get to buy the Disney military passes which helps a lot (3 day hopper for $132), as far as admission goes, I think that price is fair. The bathrooms and the park itself is always clean, and the cast members are always extremely polite and really into the roles they're playing. I hate dropping a deuce in public restrooms, but the two places that have not failed is Disneyland and XS in vegas lol.

 

Just was at Disneyland last month.  My wife and I are much smarter these days when going there.  We eat a hefty breakfast outside of Disneyland and pick less expensive but still good options that are in Disneyland.  We do the souvenir thing but are very cautious on what we get.  We make sure things we buy can only be bought there.  In the end between us and our two daughters the cost is like 4 pairs of Jays which is a much better value to me.  Tons of memories each time we go.

 

I love that place. Only because I see how much my kids love it. Makes me happy seeing them go bananas Off a stupid f ing mouse.

 

And chuck-e-cheese just don't cut it in comparison to da Wizard, b.



King Mickey

 

Disney land got some pretty moms there too. Earl of a sandwich is pretty Decent. And they let u take in whatever food you want. One time I brought in some dim sum my girl got me.

 

You guys are just feeding wealth to the illuminati to take over the work and make you dress like the bum as looking dudes in Kane''s fashion show.
But anyways going in the summer for about a weekend but I wanna go for a week but only stay at Disney land for 2 days. What' else can I do instead of going to Disney land? Thinking of scrapping the Disneyland idea all together and go to Magic mountain then go to so cal. But wtf is there to do in SoCal?

 

Disneyland is my favorite place to visit, but I have to stay on site. It adds to the experience.

I've chosen Disneyland over Vegas more times than I can count and have gone annually for the last 6-7 years and will continue to do so.

I just love Disney no matter how long the lines are (which aren't bad if you know how to work the fast pass system), no matter how expensive it is, no matter how much the weather sucks (always hot).

Been there on July 4th/Christmas/New Years/Thanksgiving and the lines and crowds don't phase me. I know the quiet spots in the park where I can grab something to eat and just chill.

My favorite attraction is the Tiki Room while eating a Dole Whip. That is the GOAT.

Disneyland/DCA>

 

i hope you have kids bro or that whole thing sounds weird.

 

never would have taken you as a Disney guy.

Cool.

 

This man knows. Didn't mention all the great alcohol there though. Beer at UK and Germany, tequila at Mexico, sake at Japan
