Yeah think the interactions with cast members is my favorite part of park trips after all these years...Not even necessarily the costumed characters but the ones that just do the rudimentary stuff...Just the nicest people you’ll ever meet...

Cast members definitely make everything better, they’re happy all the time and always helpful. Had a lady call and hunt down a shirt for my wife, definitely appreciated

rs racers with just the race is gon' suck 
it'll be a 15 second ride
im just gon go on a drag strip and race or go to that one speedway for kids with the faux drag racing, that at least depends on my ability to win
its the slow build and familiarity to the movie and to get to be in it before the climactic ending that makes that ride great especially when bring people that hasnt ridden before, always have those pics saved thanks to max pass and it makes for a great memory

Aye, the entire place was packed last night. Parking was 100% full. I took the train around the park and did not know there was a Grand Canyon scene as well as a dinosaur scene. That was actually pretty cool and relaxing.

I mean, I get it. It's a themed area deeply rooted in Star Wars. Some people love the small details like that, others are like, whatever.
I agree it is a cash grab. Outside of wanting to build a lightsaber, nothing else interested me in wanting to purchase.
But seeing a full-sized Millenium Falcon is amazing though.

HAPPY HOLIDAY DISNEY FAM!
hope yall had a great christmas and an amazing new year
and to start things off how about...
The VIP's guide to exclusive Disneyland and Disney World experiences, from Club 33 to weddings
The journey starts with a stroll down Main Street USA with its bright colors and fanciful architecture, a fairy-tale castle rising in the distance.
Ahead are dozens of attractions meant to amaze and delight, making it clear why Disney lands are considered the Happiest Places on Earth.
Yet even as guests explore a Haunted Mansion or step onto the surface of an alien world to join a galactic rebellion, some experiences here remain out of reach for all but a lucky (and wealthy) few, reports The Arizona Republic, which is part of the USA TODAY Network.
Yes, there is even a Happier Place on Earth, for those who can afford it. It is a Disney fever dream of private clubs, crystal carriages and opulent rooms.
Curious what you’re probably missing? Here are VIP Disneyland and Disney World experiences available to a select few that have anything but a Mickey Mouse budget.
VIP tours
Have your own plaid-wearing, name-tag-wearing Disneyland or Disney World host or hostess guide you from ride to ride, bypassing one line after another. It’s like having your own walking, talking Fastpass, one that can also drop fascinating Disney details along the way. (Yes, there is a regulation basketball hoop and backboard in the Matterhorn break room; no, you can’t go one-on-one with the abominable snowman).
Pros: Imagine Phoenix without the summer heat, or a fudge brownie without the calories. Enjoying Disneyland or Disney World without lines is the same feeling, yet attainable.
Cons: Unless you’re a recognizable celebrity or “Star Wars” droid, you’ll draw looks that express the same sentiments as Internet trolls, and these folks won’t feel the need to remain anonymous.
Cost: Rates are $400-$650 an hour, depending on demand and time of year. Minimum of seven hours, maximum of 10 people. Gratuity not included.
Closest experience for regular people: Arrive an hour before your chosen park opens with a copy of “Disney’s Land” by Richard Snow, filled with great park tidbits. Read aloud random facts as you race from ride to ride before lines unwieldy (which often happens before noon).
Private photo session
Before the gates open, you and your family will be striking poses inside the park at the direction of a professional Disney photographer (and an assistant). The session includes, according to Disney, “stylistic lighting,” far better than the ordinary lighting you’ve tolerated all these years.
Pros: This is how you win Instagram. Your friends will never know what hit them. You can even print them on mugs and water bottles to give as gifts.
Cons: Unless you’re climbing Mount Everest soon, or taking a submersible to the Titanic, your own private Disney photo is a tough made-for-social-media image to top.
Cost:
Disneyland: $1,700 for a one-hour session and up to eight people, park admission and tax not included.
Disney World: $1,999 with a 10-guest maximum. Includes photo album and one 16-by-24-inch canvas print. Does not include admission, tax or gratuities.
Closest experience for regular people: Find an uncrowded area of the park, pay a couple of strangers $5 to stop pedestrian traffic for a minute, and pose awkwardly as if taking instructions from a professional.
It takes a villa (or suite)
Nothing makes Disney World home like a villa with full kitchen, separate bedrooms and a washer and dryer (not that anyone wants to do laundry on vacation, but sometimes it’s a must when ice cream or frosted churros are involved). Signature Suite, a collection of themed rooms reflecting the creativity of an Imagineer, are available at all three Disneyland Resort hotels.
Pros: The Disney World villas come with all the modern conveniences of home. The Disneyland suites come with concierge-level service that includes breakfast, an array of snacks you may take into the park, and a wine and cheese hour each evening.
Cons: You may not want to leave your room. Well, except for wine and cheese hour in California.
Cost:
Disneyland: Grand Californian Signature Suites can sleep up to 12 and cost $6,000-$8,000 (yes, per night). Disneyland Hotel Signature Suites sleep four to five and cost roughly $4,200 per night. Paradise Pier Signature Suites can sleep as many as 13 and are $2,700-$2,800 per night. Call for details as rates frequently change based on season and demand.
Disney World: Depends on resort and time of year, but typically around $3,000 a night. Three-bedroom deluxe villas can go as high as $9,000.
Closest experience for regular people: Book a Disney Good Neighbor hotel for $120-$250 a night and bring your own wine and cheese. Make it a themed room with a poster of your favorite Disney attraction.
Charter a yacht (with optional butler)
Tour Disney World in a way that eliminates the hassles of walking. Charter the Grand 1 Yacht, a sleek 52-foot boat that plies the Disney seas for anyone who can afford it. Butler optional.
Pros: This is the way to live your “Gilligan’s Island” dreams. You can even charter the Grand 1 during a fireworks show, complete with on-board music synced to the show.
Cons: You can invite 17 of your friends to join you, but should you order the optional butler, it drops to 16 friends. If the dropped person happens to be your brother-in-law, then it’s more a pro than con.
Cost: $399 per hour. Additional charge for butler and/or onboard dining.
Closest experience for regular people: Rent a two-person kayak for $13 per hour and refer to your kayaking companion only as “Jeeves.”
Club 33
If there's an E-ticket to all of the Disneyland Resort, it's a membership to Club 33, the semi-secret establishment in New Orleans Square. (Look for the door marked with a 33 plaque). Designed to cater to the VIPs of the VIPs, Club 33 for decades was the only place in the park to get a drink. Based on the original, popular and very exclusive Club 33 at Disneyland, the four Club 33s at Disney World (one in each park) are just as exclusive.
Pros: Extreme exclusivity. Even those who can afford it have to wait for years, if not decades, to gain a membership. Memberships include annual passes, 50 single-day admissions and 5 day-long private VIP tours.
Cons: Your friends are going to bug the living heck out of you until you take them to Club 33, and when you relent, they’re going to wait for as long as it takes for you to pick up the check.
Cost: When Disney World opened up Club 33 membership in March 2018, it was $33,000 to join with a $15,000 annual fee. Disneyland officials won't confirm pricing, though it's been widely reported that initiation fees range from $25,000 (individual) to $40,000 and $50,000 (corporate), with an annual membership fee of $12,000-$25,000. Meals not included.
Closest experience for regular people: There isn't one, sorry. Either you're in or you're out. And nearly all of us are out.
Details:
Disneyland: Search the internet for "Club 33 Disneyland," because the only reference to it on the official Disneyland site is a blog post from May 2012.
Disney World: [email protected]. That’s right, they don’t even want to hear from you by phone.
Tie the Knot Disney-style
If you’re the type that can’t make up your mind, know that Disney World offers 49 wedding venues, from the Tree of Life to the Tower of Terror. Maybe you want something with an international flair. How about Italian? African? Japanese? That’s not even counting the courtyards, terraces and pavilions. Couples exchange vows at Disneyland in a lavishly decorated ballroom or a charming garden. They may even arrive via a crystal coach as if out of a fairy tale. Mickey or Minnie will briefly attend for a price. But the fairest wedding of all is in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, an exquisite affair with musicians (a string trio, perhaps, or trumpeters playing a fanfare), food and everlasting memories.
Pros: One heck of a start to any marriage. No guarantee you’ll live happily ever after, but it doesn’t hurt to have Disney wedding videos to watch during tough times.
Cons: Even a fairy tale wedding can’t guarantee you’ll live happily ever after. Nothing brings you back to earth like the first set of reception-related bills.
Cost:
Disneyland: The Escape wedding package (for up to 18 guests) starts at $6,500. The opulent Wishes wedding package (for up to 1,000 people) starts at $15,000 and goes much higher very quickly. If you want to get married in the park before it opens, that starts at $45,145. Prefer a morning ceremony in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle? That’s $62,200. Or blow it out with an evening ceremony and reception in front of the castle, yours for just $180,000. Be sure to add another $300 per person for dinner.
Disney World: Base price of ceremonies range from $4,000 (resort locations) to $30,000 (after hours at Magic Kingdom). Food and beverage per person are $140 (brunch), $165 (lunch) and $190 (dinner). You may order entertainment a la carte, including a flutist (around $700, as reported by several Disney-related blogs), trumpeters ($1,200), or a Disney character (roughly $1,400-$1,600, depending on the character). You may even hire a majordomo (officially, the head of household staff) to deliver the rings in glass slippers for less than $1,000.
Closest experience for regular people: Enjoy an authentic Disney-themed wedding with Disney music, Disney napkins and Disney paper plates. Or you can do a guerrilla wedding inside the park, just you, your betrothed and the officiant, then celebrate with a churro.
Home sweet Disney home
Don’t just experience the Disney lifestyle. Live it at Golden Oak, a toney subdivision located on Disney World grounds in Florida. Homes range from 2,300-square-foot cottages to 6,700-square-foot homes with six bedrooms and six bathrooms. The best part? Take Disney’s public transportation to any of the four parks.
Pros: Each sale comes with the Golden Oak Member Pass, which includes (take a deep breath): a Platinum annual pass good for admission at all parks, admission to the two water parks, Fastpass reservations up to 60 days in advance, free parking throughout the resort, admission to Disney’s Oak Trail golf course, unlimited Disney Photo Pass downloads, and five one-day theme park admissions.
Cons: Every time you need to buy groceries or want to do a little shopping at an Orlando mall, you’re on the road with thousands of tourists, many of whom are visiting the States for the first time. Good luck.
Cost: Homes go for $2.5 million to nearly $6 million. Annual Golden Oak memberships, which you need for the Golden Oak Member Pass, are reportedly $25,000 a year (Disney hasn’t released official figures).
Closest experience for a regular person: How about a week’s stay at an Airbnb in Kissimmee? Sorry, that’s all we’ve got.
hope yall had a great christmas and an amazing new year
