Alrighty… It’s time for ye olde biannual Disney D23 Expo wrap-up. As always, some good, some not so great stuff. But overall, a fun experience. First off, I’m not a company boy type of Disney fan. I don’t go to these events to buy every little “collectible” trinket or gawk at celebrity appearances or gather…
I’m headed for the Disney D23 Expo next week, so I’ve got a bit of Disney on the brain. Plus my trip there will be followed by shows in LA and Las Vegas, so it oughta be a hell of at trip. 🙂 One of my favorite Disney things over the last couple years has…
Over the weekend I finally made it up to the Disney Family Museum to see the Snow White exhibit called “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Creation Of A Classic”. It was the final weekend, so if you haven’t seen it yet, this blog post is the best you’re gonna do. 🙂 It was a…
Over the weekend I had the opportunity to visit the new Disney archives exhibit at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, CA. There’s pretty much no other reason to visit Simi Valley, but there I was. I’m not a D23 member at the moment, so I paid the full $21 admission price to…
So, June 15th is nearly upon us and Cars Land and the new Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure will be unleashed up the world. Or it may be more apt to say the world will be unleashed upon it. I’m going to predict that it will be the biggest event (and/or clusterf#&k) since…
Alrighty… After 3 fairly sleep deprived days and I’m ready to report back on the happenings at Disney’s D23 Expo. Or as I call it Disney Dork Fest! As with any event like this, there was good and bad. The good? The were much more free about people taking pictures and recording stuff. Only at…
If there were ever a testament to the current climate of social media and customer feedback, it’s this one. Disney should be thanking their lucky stars for the feedback they got on the Disney World Fantasyland expansion after they premiered the plans at the D23 Expo last year. The rallying cry? “Too many damn princesses!”…
In my last post I was talking about the decreasing numbers of paid downloads that the industry is worrying about. And lately the reports of decreasing ticket sales and canceled tours hasn’t helped any. But as I also mentioned, entertainment is a lagging indicator of the economy. And, of course, the exorbitant ticket prices don’t…
This subject has come up a couple times today. Disney’s annual pass holders are starting to get irritated with the company’s offers of getting into the park for free. The birthday promotion and next year’s volunteering promotion. Plus the D23 events that include park tickets in the price, but don’t have an option for AP…
Almost forgot it was blog day! When I travel a lot, I tend to forget what day it is. 🙂 So, today is halfway through the inaugural D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA. Overall, it’s been a very enjoyable experience. I arrived at 10am on Thursday and, in traditional Disney fashion, immediately stood in line. My…
