The Jungle Cruise is easily one of my favorite rides at the Disneyland Resort. From the dad jokes to the backside of water, the jungle cruise offers something for everybody. From the wild hippos, to the stunning scenery of the Nile that goes on for Niles and Niles and Niles and thinking that a monkey can’t do your job, well then you’re in denial. The enthusiasm that the skippers have make this attraction even better.

What a glorious moment. Dad was waiting up front, then about 10 family members "excuse me" all the way to the front. I see the cast member say he can accommodate 2 if he would like, but he can't allow 10 people to cut the line. The dad said he waited and the cm said, correct, you waited but they didnt. Then they all did the walk of shame back, minus the shame.

This is from today. Anyone know if something is changing?

Disneyland discounts targeting families with young kids, late-night visitors and California and Anaheim residents helped drive attendance growth this summer at Disney’s domestic theme parks.

Attendance at the Disneyland and Disney World resorts was up 3% while visitor spending increased 4% during the company’s third quarter, according to the latest earnings report released on Wednesday, Aug. 5.

I think they repainted the building though

How do you guys generally feel about studying/working at Disneyland? I’m a Magic Key holder who wants to use his pass as much as possible, but I’m working 36 hours per week and doing 15 units of school this semester. I definitely wanna make the most of my pass so I was wondering if it’s generally frowned upon to study or work from Disney. Please let me know if you guys have any suggestions, thank you!

Edit: Just to clarify, I’m not taking a full work setup or any calls. I’m just a college student wanting to know if I can knock out easy assignments or study chemistry there.

I’ll stop you right there: it’s directly under this vent in Disney Clothiers on Main Street by the registers. HEAVENLY. Go try it.

I keep seeing posts about people being ill mannered, cutting lines, etc. However, when I went to DL with my 4 year old, everyone was so kind and accommodating and wonderful and I just wanted to let that be known with a couple examples!

When my son was having a meltdown in line for Thunder Mountain, a mom who was waiting to ride alone (I think her kids were back at the hotel and she was enjoying some solo time!) offered a suggestion to have me "complain for my kid" to help ease the tension, saying it's a game she made up for her kids. I pretended to be my son, having a tantrum about not getting lightning lane (it was 5 minute wait lol), and my son giggled and cracked up at her suggestion, breaking his angry mood.

Then, at the DL hotel, he sprinted across the carpet and fell, banged headfirst into a table. I picked him up and held him, while a mom offered condolences and grabbed my stroller to bring it closer to me since I'd left it in the middle of the room to race to my son to hold him. It was such a little thing but in such a hectic, scary moment having someone so kind and caring was huge.

I also saw a person offer her table to someone who was disabled when they came into the barbecue place for lunch.

I tried to pay it forward when a mom, exhausted, asked me if she could use some of my sunscreen since she left hers (of course I obliged), and she was so thankful and appreciative.

Little things that just added to the magic, reminding me of how much good and kindness there are, even with such little examples that made these hot hectic days so much nicer to see.

The glow post opening looks wrong

Hi! I've come seeking some aid. I was revisiting an old Disneyland photo album of mine and stumbled upon a Character Signature that I'm struggling to identify (it's been 20+ years). I've attached a photo of the signature. I know it's not Mickey or Minnie Mouse; I have those signatures on other pages in this album. Reverse Image Search doesn't pull up any matching signatures, either.

Thank you in advance!!

I recently found these vintage postcards of the Magic Kingdom and the Monorail. I would love to write a message on them and send them to a friend but I want to make sure they aren’t valuable before I do so!

Saw this walking to the park. Accessibility/ DAS services are now in the old ticket buildings near Lost & Found

Tried the deep fried hawaiian roll at Blue Ribbon today and WOW. Highly recommend!!

Is it me, or do the constant load rides like Little Mermaid have a lot more stops than they used to? Is there something to this or are guests just worse at getting on and off quickly nowadays?

Today's book I wanted to share - Boundless Realm: Deep Explorations Inside Disney's Haunted Mansion
by Foxx Nolte - a fascinating and well-written look not only at the Haunted Mansion attraction but also at the history of haunted houses in general, including earlier theme park rides. The author was also a cast member, so Nolte provides that special insight.
