We take our 8th graders to Disneyland for our class trip each year, something we haven’t been able to do since 2019. They offer interactive classes for us in physics and ride design (including storytelling), and animation. We’re going in May.

Sum of all Thrills was a great ride and learning experience at Epcot.  You were able to design your own rollercoaster and then ride it.

Galaxy’s Edge is pretty incredible.  Really hoping they announce more expansions at D23 this year

An exceptional ride. Unlike anything else in the park.

Galaxy's Edge is a land within Disneyland, not a ride.

Best theme park ride of all time.

Reason I changed to an all encompassing theme parks thread is because I'm also very excited for this, which is coming sooner than I expected

So you've been to Disneyland recently. 

Taking my nephew at the end of April. He achieved the suitable height to do things.

Got my yearly Universal last month.  First time I've been there since Christmas of 2009.  Got to go on Transformers and Minions rides for the first time.

Minions is excellent. Transformers was too jerky and made my knees hurt. Simpsons is hilarious.

Was announced a little bit ago that Paradise Pier hotel is being rethemed to Pixar and will connect to California Adventure just as Grand Californian does now.

This happened at the Disneyland in Paris, but thought it was relevant to this thread.

If we want to go on a specific date I just refresh the calendar for like 10 minutes, and typically a reservation will open.

Gotcha. We have Believe Keys, since our baby gets in free (for now).
