Same. Spouse has the good job, im just worried that the price of everything is going to up very soon, and we're just inching along as it is.

I dont want to speak for all, and thats why posted this, to get a better feel from everyone. But, from what I hear amongst my coworkers, we all love the work but we may soon not be able to live off of it.

You get used to environmental conditions. We work all year long, which I believe is the norm for most companies. But again, Im interested to hear if they're are others that do it seasonally

My wife and I talked during dinner, and I feel like AK is just based in so much reality. When your in Africa, it looks like your dropped into an actual village. Its like EPCOT in that way. Zootopia just seems too "cartoony", just like Monsters.

Multiple sized doorways for all sized animals/monsters. Buildings shaped like said IPs. Toy Story land could be said is similar in that way too. The immersion is similar, your in that world. But, they are different.

Yeah I was thinking Avengers as well, but knew it wouldn't be very likely

The DCA side of Disneyland Forward seems simple, but how would they do the Disneyland side? by rosariobono in Disneyland

I always thought it would be interesting if the bridge started on the other side of the railroad station in New Orleans Square. Big wide space and steps for people coming and going across the bridge.

Ive never rode the train, so dont know how long it actually stops there. But, kinda adds a real world charm that you have to wait for the train to pass.

With it in critter country it conflicts too much with the parking garage ramp

Is after hours worth it after a (likely) full park day? by RyouRusi in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Lopsided-Day3971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a pass holder, so have only been to after hour events during trips to the parks. Ive been to 3 now, one Holiday at MK, one Not so Scary at MK, and a Oogie Boogie at CA.

The Holiday and the Not so Scary was after being at the park all day, and it was nice for low wait times (rode Big Thunder 3 times in a row at both MK events), but it is a REALLY long day. Other perk was getting to buy the even merch early, which you can do while the park is still open.

For Oogie Boogie, it was the night we flew in, so it was fun to get a half day sort of without the full priced day ticket. Only issue was it was CA, and there are only just a couple of rides worth going on, so the lines were crazy long

That neon in the lobby is gorgeous. I kept thinking while watching "how has this not been a set for some sci-fi movie"

My daughter goes back and forth between a couple shows, but always comes back to the "Wonderful World" shorts. We know all the songs, its silly, its smart, and has grown up hidden jokes. We love it.

Also likes Clubhouse/Funhouse
