rang in the holiday season at @Disneyland Resort yesterday! 🕺🏻💕 ate delicious things, saw fantastic people and really had a truly wonderful time!!
stopped by the new Plaza Point shop, which is excellent. It’s beautiful, the props are perfect, and it fits the Main Street USA theming. a job well done!
I speak for many when I say theme park Hanukkah merchandise is borderline garbage, but credit where credit’s due: Jewish representation is better at Disney’s California parks than anywhere else.
I left feeling *good*, which takes EFFORT, of which I am very appreciative! 💕 🕎
but most of all, it felt like a return to form because there was SO MUCH LIVE ENTERTAINMENT.
characters! cavalcades! and most importantly, live music!!!! it makes *such* a difference and I’m gleeful to have spent the day in the presence of so many talented folks 🥰
and….I highly recommend mobile ordering a take home Choco-Smash from Avengers Campus for 30 minutes after fireworks
it won’t melt and you get to eat a two-inch chunk of it to fit in the box even though it’s a gift for your husband heh heh

Said it once, will say it a thousand times: Walt Disney World's dependence on ever-increasing profits is creating a massive problem they will struggle to solve in 2-3 years when people have finally had enough.
Fans will, mostly, tolerate it. But word of mouth on this? It's bad.
I talk to a lot of people — strangers, friends, people at LA parties — who are Disney's hopeful demographic: the types who don't go regularly but will soon plan a big $$$ multi-generational trip.
before, they'd ask about a new ride. now, they almost exclusively reference price.
I've noticed a shift from "oh hey, how's that new Star Wars land?" to "what's the deal with Disneyland passes?" and "you have to pay to skip lines, right?" and "aren't reservations impossible?"
the folks who only see top-level headlines have clocked the stress, cost, difficulty.
Once you arrive at the Galactic Starcruiser terminal, you'll hand over your keys — all cars are valet parked! — and bags will be held for delivery directly to your cabin.
From there, you'll proceed down a long concrete hallway to a bunker-like space for a "pre-show" orientation.
Then, it's time to head to your luxury cruise liner: the Halcyon!
Board a "Launch Pod" — aka: a tricked out elevator with show elements, like windows out onto space — for a journey that'll see you blast through hyperspace, soar towards the Halcyon & connect up to it.
🚨OMG THEY MADE A REAL LIGHTSABER Y'ALL WHAT THE FUCK
they'll release photos and videos of it shortly im SURE BUT THEY MADE A REAL ASS FUCKING LIGHTSABER AND NO I CANNOT BREAK THAT NEWS WITHOUT SWEARING
I just attended a virtual press conference and Josh D'Amaro had a lightsaber and it worked like a LIGHTSABER not a "im carrying around this long stick" lightsaber like a FUCKING LIGHTSABER LIGHTSABER
