Our next one-take hotel room tour & review comes from the Desert Palms Hotel & Suites just outside Disneyland. Is the balance between proximity to the parks and hotel amenities here worth the $144 per night? www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0Uc...

Updates have been slow this week because, like seemingly everyone else I know, I’m dealing with a terrible case of the flu. Anyone else in the theme park world got a nasty bug this week?

Cedar Point will keep its starting pay at $13 per hour, less than what it offered just two years ago. www.themeparktribune.com/news-roundup...

An interview with LA Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong spread polio vaccine misinfo after he falsely claimed that "old versions" of the jab contained mercury. In fact, no polio vaccine ever has. Read more from NewsGuard's Reality Check: www.newsguardrealitycheck.com/i/156193358/...

After another trip to the Disneyland Resort, it's time to update our rankings of all of Disneyland's roller coasters.

Fan Fest Nights is like a horror-less Halloween Horror Nights, with limited-time walkthrough attractions, shows, and character greetings.

Convicted Disney thief Patrick Spikes is back with a new video purporting to show another backstage area at Epcot in 2019. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-AV...

A user on the Disneyland Reddit shared this photo of a man giving what appears to be a Nazi salute on Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: Breakout. Original post can be found here: www.reddit.com/r/Disneyland...

Some perspective on the MuppetVision 3D closure: It’s been operating for 34 years. Only Impressions de France has had a longer run as a film-based attraction in Walt Disney World.

You have until June 7, 2025, to get one last viewing of MuppetVision 3D at Disney's Hollywood Studios. www.themeparktribune.com/muppetvision...

Universal's 2025 seasonal event calendar includes HHN's earliest start ever and a new Volcano Bay nighttime event. www.themeparktribune.com/universal-or...

Major expansions at Disneyland are still years away, but let's take a look at several active refurb projects as the resort gets ready for its 70th anniversary. www.themeparktribune.com/disneyland-c...

This was my hotel choice for my most recent Disneyland trip since $144 per night seemed reasonable for being that close. Full review coming soon, but who else has stayed here? What did you think of it?

I swear the Disneyland Haunted Mansion has never looked so good, and it’s not just the revamped bride. Every animatronic seemed to be moving better on my rides today.

The one piece of AI art aside…I don’t get the vitriol over the Haunted Mansion shop at all.

Morning ronto is best ronto

A 50-degree Disneyland morning! You can tell I’m a Midwesterner because I’m not dressed like I’m about to go skiing. This isn’t cold!

Chicken tenders and waffle fries are some of the few things for which I feel qualified to do a dining review. It’s very tasty, but to get charged $30 for this is just crazy.

Can we not

Signs of *something* on Montezooma’s Revenge?

Good morning from Knott’s!

Some workers at Cedar Point will see their paychecks drop by 25 percent this season, according to a report in the Sandusky Register.

Knott's Peanuts Celebration will offer a new stage show and Charles Schulz exhibit to mark the comic strip's 75th birthday.

If you’re now outraged about Dino-O-Rama closing — despite it being off-the-shelf attractions built on a blacktop with a backstory tacked on — it really seems like you’re just angry at change in general at Disney World.

Some on social media criticized Universal Hollywood for reopening amid the ongoing wildfires due to the air quality. However, current maps show Universal is in the "moderate" zone on air quality maps as of Friday morning. www.themeparktribune.com/universal-ho...

Regarding the new report that California's Great America may close in June 2028 -- that's been true from the start. The deal was for an initial 6-year lease with a 5-year renewal option. Prologis can terminate at any time with 2 years' notice. From our June 2022 story:

Permits have revealed that Six Flags Magic Mountain's 2026 coaster will be a Vekoma Thrill Glider, a never-before-built coaster model.
