Eight great topics from the Discussion Boards.
"Love Them
Churros"
The Discussion Board have been around for almost two months now. Over 4,000 messages have been posted in more than 400 topics. As expected, there's been lots of talk about vacation planning, Disney's California Adventure, favorite rides and the like. But along the way there have been some unexpected topics as well.
In this week Editor's Report I bring you, in no particular order, eight unusual, but very interesting topics from the Discussion Boards.
| Topic | Read on the Thread |
| Videopolis The Disneyland teen hangout of the 80s. |
"Videopolis was part of one of the funnest times in my life. I was a OCDL (Orange County Disneyland Local). It was the sandlot for my friends and I. If there are any local out there who hung out there during 1988-91, write me, I would love to hear from you. [email protected]" |
| Proposing in Disneyland A wonderful Valentine's Day topic. |
"I proposed to my soon to be ex-wife above Fantasyland on the skyway. I had always dreamed of doing something like that. It was perfect. I wish I could recomend that to another, but alas we all know the story of the Skyway. I still wonder what happened to our bucket, # 36." |
| Spiels of Disneyland Everything from ""Boooooooooaaarrrd!" to "trying to find the family car" |
"'Aye, that would be the forest of the magical singing trees' which is from the Keelboats when Festival of Fools was running." |
| Disneyland Park Cast Member-hood A wonderful discussion of what it's like to be a Disneyland Cast Member. |
"... but behind the costumes and off stage there are all sorts of people. Here are a few examples (and there are many others): the religious, the irreligious, the nonreligious, the super-religious, the anit-religious; tall, taller, short, shorter; good-smelling, non-smelling, ok-smelling, bad-smelling; A-students, B-students, non-students, can't-remember-students, Ph.D.'s; beauticians, the severly-in-need-of-beauticians; the celibate, the non-celibate, anti-celibate, don't-know-what-celibate means; Republicans, Democrats, Whigs, Tories, Unionists, Separationists, Communists, Anarchists, Theocrats, and Californians; smokers, inhalers, boozers, health-craze-addicted-persons; runners, sunners, funners, gunners; people with bad posture, people with great posture; backbiters, complimenters, gossips, wise persons, interesting people, boring people, maddening people; those who use AT&T, those who use Sprint, those who use MCI; foreigners, locals, local foreigners, foreign locals, and everyone in between; hard workers, non-workers, rule breakers, rule inventors; tattle talers, friends, the dishonest, the untrustworthy, and friends you could trust with anything; people who hate you, people who love you, people who resent you, people who'll help you, people who think they know you, and those that actually do; loving people, indifferent people, not-so-loving people; hotdog eaters, caviar eaters; and, in short, just about every kind of person imaginable" |
| Mint Juleps 38 messages on the green stuff from New Orleans Square |
"ahhh the mint juleps & a box of popcorn watching people at the fountain by the Haunted Mansion... It's gotta be the best thing about a trip back to DL!!!" |
| DFD and the very long-term future of
Disneyland A very confusing discussion unless you've read this edition of Dispatch from Disneyland, then it becomes very interesting. |
"I think on one hand, Disneyland should stay generally the same (in other words no TIE) but I can see how TIE would enhance a visit. I think future generations need to see Disneyland as it was meant to be seen and TIE sounds so fake and superficial. I dunno. As long as the park stays generally the same, TIE or no." |
| Blue Dress!!! A serious discussion on the preferred Princess Aurora dress color |
"I think I like the psychodelic version when the spells collide and create the splash of color on the dress. Looks like tie-dye." |
| The Churros of 2000! The title says it all. |
"You have to try a Disneyland Churro, they're the yummiest. I've had Churros eleswhere and the grease makes me sick, but not Disneylands, they're not as greasy." |
