Yeah, there may be a reason he is in that position and that seat. Possibly testing the ride to represent someone unable to hold the handles. Or maybe he’s just related to Arms Crossed Woman from Splash Mountain

yes!!!!!!

Disneyland News:

Haunted Mansion Lawn Torn Up as Holiday Overlay Work Continues at Disneyland​

Perhaps the most shocking development is that the entire lawn seems to have been torn out during the work. Nothing seems to be left of the landscaping in front of the Mansion except dirt, with an excavator clearly parked within the site. But this will certainly be cleaned up and resolved just in time for its reopening on September 2

I... don't feel like this normally happens...?

Give Kids the World Village Returns to Full Capacity, Discontinues Night of a Million Lights Event

As the village returns to its full-time focus on “creating life-changing experiences for Wish families”, Give Kids the World announced today that their popular Night of a Million Lights event hosted in both 2020 and 2021 would no longer go on.

Sad for the families who won't get a chance to see this, but would love to see them return to the parks in some capacity. The show was one of my favorite things to see during the holidays.

Mine not showing any 5-digit number, but agree with the other post--- having to scroll all the way down to see all of the reservations is a bit tedious

Mine have the the 5 digit number but don't show up in the app. It's a package, made my park res online and can see them there but have never been able to see them in the app. It's annoying.

It doesn't, but they may be taking the opportunity to do something that's needed. I hope it's not a drastic change though.

Man I hope they do an AP preview for this

Yes, the first week of December would be nice as I hope to be going back then!

I was too busy looking at the gun show to notice he wasn’t holding on

Maybe it's Gaston???

So I see there is a new AP resort room discount from Oct 23-Dec 25 but I can’t find any resort availability for my dates and I checked quite a few dates...

Good Morning All!!

Wow, yeah. I checked my stay in Nov and not a single resort comes up with availability at all.

Yeah I just checked for our friends who are traveling with us for one of our upcoming trips and there is nothing available for their resort. However, I was able to get a discount for my non-DVC portion of my other upcoming trip! Was even able to add a day! Good luck guys, keep checking!

When you check under the new 'make or modify park reservations' you will get a list of all your park reservations and confirmation numbers. Is anyone else seeing a 5 digit code after the guest names? All of my party members are showing these codes. It seems that some folks on the web have reported this issue, while others are not not getting the numbers after the name. I'm just wondering if that will cause a problem down the line.

I have those when checking through the website. When I check my plans in the phone app, none of my park reservations show up... That'll be fun if something messes up during the trip

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I love this thread! I've been waiting for a discount to stay one night at POFQ for our December trip and was able to book it this morning...I also looked for my entire stay but as others have mentioned, very little availability and nothing beat my discount I have at the Swan anyhow...

Nothing seems to be left of the landscaping in front of the Mansion except dirt, with an excavator clearly parked within the site.

Time for fake grass, with water at a premium?
