It's actually the best fireworks show they've had in a while in that the fireworks are a significant and spectacular part of the show, as opposed to the focus being the visual projections. 1/3
In the last few shows, the visuals are so well done that you're actually not paying that much attention to the fireworks, which play a secondary role anyway. In this show, the fireworks take prominence, especially with so many being fired off #SleepingBeautyCastle . 2/3
A dream collaboration between 2 wonderfully evil #corporations, working hand in hand on the future we now live in:
"Is everything of plastic? - Almost!"
@kurtsh Trader Sam's is kind of kitschy. I'm not a fan of Lamplight, either the food or the setup. I love Tiana's but it can be limiting for some because there's a lot of spicy stuff. Craftsman Bar is essentially the same as the Grill, except it's table service. Golden Horseshoe is the same as Stage Door, I think.
NEED TO TRY:
✅ Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar (DL Hotel)
✅ Lamplight Lounge (Pixar Pier, DCA)
✅ Tiana's Palace (Fantasyland, DLR)
✅ GCH Craftsman Bar (GCH)
✅ Golden Horseshoe
@kurtsh With the various celebrations and food festivals, there are also often new things to try at familiar places or at dedicated food kiosks. Right now, there's stuff for Season of the Force, with a few more things added as of May 4, and shortly, all the PixarFest stuff will be added too.
Dla mnie rewelacja 📻 📰 👑 - rozmowa, z której dowiadujemy się, jakie systemowe myślenie o mediach było u podstaw założenia podcastu Dwie Lewe Ręce. To nie tylko o tym konkretnym podcaście, ale o sytuacji ludzi, którzy nie rezygnują z potrzeby dobrych mediów (korzystania z nich lub ich robienia). Oraz o sytuacji ludzi, którzy chcieliby, żeby w Polsce istniało jakieś rzetelne medium na lewo od centrum.
We watched #WondrousJourneys last night with amazement and appreciation and sadness, since it was the last scheduled presentation of the show currently. (We got fireworks and projections but neither of the two characters who are supposed to fly over the castle, probably because of the earlier rain.)
This is the amazing Hercules, Moana, Belle and Quasimodo segment. Two other segments will be in separate posts. #Disneyland 1/3
I love and appreciate the inclusion of the middle segment in #WondrousJourneys that acknowledges that life isn't always about happy moments, that there is pain and sadness and difficulties to overcome. And the challenge is to face them and hopefully find people who will help with that fight. #Disneyland 2/3
The finale of #WondrousJourneys . Yes, let's do go back to page one and do it all over again.
Such an amazing show. I know the fireworks schedule at #Disneyland is full for the rest of the year, but I'm hoping they bring this back next Spring. Thanks #clennertzmusic for making so many of us cry every time. #Disneyland 3/3
I liked the fiery Mustafarian when I tasted it by itself, but I liked it much better with the vial / cylinder of spicy lava syrup that came with it. And we got to keep the vial too. It has some kind of Aurebesh writing on it, but I haven't had a close enough look to see what it says yet. I'll take a gallon of the spicy lava syrup, please. #OgasCantina#BlackSpireOutpost#GalaxysEdge#StarWarsGalaxysEdge#Batuu#Disneyland#StarWars#SeasonOfTheForce 2/2
(long video) Last night, we watched the #WondrousJourneys fireworks show from #BlackSpireOutpost to check out the #FireOfTheRisingMoons version of the show, with a galactic score whereas there used to just be ambient #Batuu sounds to accompany the fireworks. They did a decent job trying to match music to a pre-existing show that has a completely different subject matter, but there are definitely awkward and dead moments, #Disneyland#StarWars#StarWarsGalaxysEdge 1/3
With the dialogue announcement, you're also a bit more prepared when the first fireworks go off, which has less of a chance of just scaring people and surprising them with no preamble. #FireOfTheRisingMoons#BlackSpireOutpost
@kurtsh I think with how bulky the rancor teeth set is, they might not have room to stock them at Dok's, with the lightsabres and other bulky items they have there.
Was so excited to see #SabineWren yesterday at #BlackSpireOutpost . I don't usually do pictures with folks but with a nudge from a friend, we have a picture with Sabine, and we got to chat with her for a bit too.
And I must have read the original announcement wrong, because I thought there was going to be more than one extra destination scene. So as much as I like the #purrgil being on Seatos, I'm disappointed that there's only one new destination scene.
The landing scene at the end is different and is very funny. Look and see the hijinks the pit droids are up to! #StarTours#SeasonOfTheForce#Disneyland /5
We also tried the new fried chicken bao at #DockingBay7 yesterday - crispy chicken bao (the chicken are crispy, not the bao), spicy katsu sauce and creamy slaw. Good texture on the bao, good flavor on the chicken with the little bit of spicy from the sauce tempered by the coolness of the slaw. Really enjoyed this dish too. And thanks for not calling it a bao bun! #BlackSpireOutpost#GalaxysEdge#StarWarsGalaxysEdge#Batuu#Disneyland#SeasonOfTheForce#StarWars
@cstephens2 Christ, guests can be whiny. I've noticed that they've really ratcheted down the authenticity of the original Batuu. Everything used to be 'credits' and 'holoscans'. Now, the cast members regularly blow it off... probably because Billy Bob can't understand the concept of world building.
(Sorry. Former DLR contractor here with some psychological scars.)
@kurtsh I totally get it, and I agree. Within minutes on Friday, we had two totally different CM interactions. We were asking about Sabine and her availability for the rest of the afternoon. One CM said to ask a character handler, and they could tell us. 😟🙄 A second CM we talked to said Sabine had gone off planet because Ahsoka had sent her on a little mission.
I try to stay with on-planet language but sometimes, CMs don't even understand what I'm saying.
