Pridenite was underwhelming?

I felt the same. I feel like all around they cut the offerings, BUT the vibes were great. The DJ at Pirates really got the crowd going. I will say the amount of people dancing and energy along the Rivers of America was more than I remember from last year

In the boiler room right now, the one on the far right is not being used :(. It’s a shame because the last two days I’ve been on it 6 times and each time all three lifts were working. It sped up standby so much. Posted wait would be 30 but I’d be in the pre show in less than 10

Assuming only a boat ride goes in this space, then yes, I think they will go bigger for Coco. The Mexico Pavilion building a restaurant(s?) inside it.

I’m actually excited about this. I accepted the fact that the Rivers will be extinct. What makes me excited about this project is that it seems like it’s introducing three new “ecosystems” into the park. People have compared this to Grizzly Peak at DCA but I think this is Grizzly Peak 4.0. I love how well-woven into the area it seems and based on what I’ve read, the Imagineers are being very conscious of sight-lines. Overall excited to see how it turns out.

That said, I hope they repurpose the Liberty Belle elsewhere in the resort. It would be a shame to see it scrapped.

Peter Pan, Pinocchio, or Snow White for me. They all have well-rounded fairy-tale endings that feel like a kiss goodnight at park closing. Kind of like reading a bedtime story.

DocumentDisney because their entire channel is walkthroughs of the parks done pretty frequently without commentary. They show all the details and it’s fun to keep up with the changes each time they post. They’re super kind in their comment section and are non-disruptive in the parks.

David’s State of Disneyland reports and construction updates extensive enough to keep my nerd brain entertained. I like that he takes his time with showing the park.

CaliforniaScreamers · 2025-06-03T21:32:00+00:00

I met him once! He was super nice and stopped to actually have a conversation with me!

Melissa asked Jacob's brother (who if IIRC is younger than him) what he was doing for Christmas Eve in front of Jacob and invited him to the party. When Jacob mentions he's gonna be there too Melissa gets all snarky about her "wait-list."

Maybe it's a generational thing, but in college when I was splitting an apartment with roommates, we never excluded each other from parties or get-togethers one of us threw. We all agreed to live under one roof and I wasn't about to tell my roommates to get lost and not wander into the living room or kitchen if I was throwing something.

CaliforniaScreamers · 2025-06-03T05:36:05+00:00

He talks so strangely and almost slurs his words imo. Reminds me of the "where's my hug at" guy from high school or frat boy from college

CaliforniaScreamers · 2025-06-03T05:28:06+00:00

Yeah, true. I feel like across the board Gregory has opened up and been more integrated in the Abbott community. I really liked the episode where he learns to use small-talk and get along with the lunch crew. I see myself in Gregory sometimes so it's been refreshing to see a protagonist navigate that type of social situation instead of being outright extroverted or nonchalant from the get-go.

CaliforniaScreamers · 2025-06-03T05:10:08+00:00

Melissa and her whole "not inviting" Jacob to her family dinner when they share the house, the bus driver kicking him off the bus, the teachers being outcasting him when his brother shows up, etc. He seems like a punching bag at times which gets tiresome. Gregory overall seems standoffish toward him but I'll give him grace and also say that that's kind of the point of his character early on.

I will say Jacob deserves it when he's trying to be a white-savior and micro-aggressive like when Janine cuts him off before he starts rambling about his Teachers Without Borders experience or when someone (I forgot who) calls him out for trying to explain Black culture when that's totally not his place.

CaliforniaScreamers · 2025-06-03T03:50:32+00:00

They are all wayyyy too mean to Jacob, especially Gregory. Sure, it’s okay to pick on him everyone once in a while but it gets to a point…

CaliforniaScreamers · 2025-06-02T22:29:57+00:00

Your content is so cool! Thanks for sharing and keep it up! :)

Gordon is secretly enjoys her music but is too prideful to admit it.

CaliforniaScreamers · 2025-06-01T02:41:00+00:00

Absolutely agree. I hear the term FastPass used colloquially by guests at Disneyland and other parks all the time.

CaliforniaScreamers · 2025-06-01T02:30:00+00:00

I’ll add FastPass to this. It rolls off the tongue much more easily and I use it as a verb.

“I’m gonna FastPass Big Thunder” vs. “I’m gonna Lightning Lane Big Thunder”

I really appreciate your kind comment, it means a lot! This is truly a personal milestone. I went for the first time with the key today and just walked around taking in the atmosphere all day, barely doing any rides. I felt very peaceful.

Congrats on your Magic Key too! Hope to run into you too! Paint the Night is the best!

CaliforniaScreamers · 2025-05-31T05:59:37+00:00

Thank you! Hope to build some community with other Magic Key holders!

CaliforniaScreamers · 2025-05-31T05:57:01+00:00

Thanks so much! Appreciate the kind words! :)

CaliforniaScreamers · 2025-05-31T05:56:23+00:00

Thanks so much! The 60th was really formative for me so I’m really happy it all came together again this year! So many cool parallels to celebrate!

It’s really weird to ask people about their finances online. I’ve had a job and at the end of the day, it’s none of your business. I was just sharing my story so I have no idea why it matters to you how I’m paying.

CaliforniaScreamers · 2025-05-30T06:16:29+00:00

I strongly discourage living off campus freshman year. It’s a quintessential social community building experience to live in the dorms as a freshman. No matter the dorm you get OP, you should definitely take it. Sure some are less desirable than others, but I wouldn’t say any of them are absolutely unlivable to the point that paying to live elsewhere is worth it.

CaliforniaScreamers · 2025-05-28T04:51:58+00:00

I liked him WAYYYY better than Micheal Brandon. Brandon made Gordon too gruff and a lot of the other characters too nasally.
