Wealthier-than-me-kiwis, who doesn't suck at hotels? Anything worth the money?

Bed and Breakfasts and maybe Mountain Ski resorts..

Posted this in disney general but I guess it shows you how much people will waste money for small prizes.

This article was worth a laugh.

Pretty much if you pay over $1,500 PER person for an annual pass you get the ability to buy a special VERY SMALL square of chocolate in Disney Springs.

There NEEDS to be one for Super Nintendo World. That place looks so cheap and crappy, I can't imagine who would think it's amazing and I'm a huge Mario fan.

Found this, was it renovated?

The Polynesian Resort theming reminds of googie style motel from the 1950s-60s that has become seedy. The pools look so fake and out of place. It was a cute concept but it has aged poorly compared to everything else Disney has to offer. I think they remodeled them so they are brighter but they also shoved Moana crap all over the place. Kinda sad cause Lilo and Stitch used to be the unofficial mascot of the hotel but those times are long gone.

Nice hotels still exist but the offerings are becoming slimmer by the year. Covid gutted the hospitality industry hard.

I don't understand why disney has a such hard one for that movie. It hasn't had any staying power. I never hear people talking about it.

I don't wonder why it has fallen out of the general memory because the movie was really mediocre. There are good songs, Maui has a good design especially his 2D animated tattoos and the water effects are really good but the story was downright bad. Most scenes didn't connect with anything else and there is no cool villain or good build up. I knew what would happen in the movie next, not because it was the logical following from the previous but because that sort of moment supposed to happen in this part of a movie. The visual story telling isn't done great. It looks fine like any disney feature but it isn't thought out. Like why do we get Maui in 3D in the beginning? It would have made much more sense keep everything in the opening 2D becouse in universe this was a story being told with visual aids and when getting actually introduced him later would have more weight.

Moana herself is a really boring protagonist. Her being a brave baby unlike others made sense, we needed a reason why the ocean chose her but did she has to be better builder than a professional and people taking her orders seriously when she spoke over her father their current king? She is stacked with all this Mary Sue moments that they try down play with hard but it doesn't feel earned. Her sucking at sailing feels nothing because it's not connected to her struggling with herself. Nice that she has to learn a skill but that isn't exactly same as having consistent character flaws that affect her actions and relationships in intresting ways.

good find, but this should probably be in the consoomer thread.

I dated a disney employee who later turned out to be a nice if not the most mentally unstable and bolemic-ridden dangerhair with more mood swings than Pluto T shirts. This shit isn't healthy and its sad its become so normalised.

Lmao I read that as "I dilated a Disney employee" at first. Tbf that's not exactly a far fetched story for Disney cultists

I'd rather take that one over most everything else they've made recently, because they did way more than just race-swap characters.

We keep telling these retards that if they want to have "racial diversity" so bad, they need to take and adapt stories from those cultures rather than race-swap characters from European and British stories. And that's what they did here.

By that alone, it's vastly superior to their other stuff.

Disney isn't doing rides anymore. Their newest attractions are- get this- walking simulators. Basically standing around in lines... to walking. Not what a prosperous business would make. Rather a cost-cutting one.

 

[Amber the Hedgehog]

Reply isn't working but an original POC story isn't enough. The movie needs to be good too. Disney has done that before. Aladdin, Mulan and Lilo &Stich are all great movies regardless characters skin color. None white cultures aren't an excuse to half ass it. Overpraising a medicore product is insulting in the same way as race swaps are.

Only whites are capable enough to be judged by merit and so can be expected to earn their place. Others cannot possibly expected to reach that level so we have give them participation awards and other hand out. It's not their fault being born pathetic.

Some of their best rides started out as walkthrough concepts, until Disney decided that they'd be more interesting as boat rides or omnimover rides.

Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Carribean are both examples of this.

What walking simulators? The three most recent rides are two roller coasters (Tron and Guardians of the Galaxy) and a trackless ride based on Ratatouille.

Indeed, they're not trying to make "walking simulators," they're trying to build rides based on properties that bombed, or are bombing, as a means to cope with the fact that their audience emphatically rejects what they're trying to shove down their throats. Part of the appeal of Disneyland is that they also celebrate the old stuff alongside the new.

An example being The Princess and the Frog trying to replace Song of The South in Splash Mountain. The Princess and the Frog is by no means a bad movie, but it's not the best replacement for Song of the South, and it's blatantly obvious it's done in order to bury it.

Disney would unironically earn a lot of respect back, maybe even help heal race relations a little bit, if they would just suck it up and release Song of the South, completely uncensored, on Blu Ray or Disney+ already. Hell, a theatrical rerelease, in the 21st century, wouldn't be a bad idea either. But I digress.

As autistic as it sounds, political correctness, and disdain for the past, will be the death of Disneyland.

I derped for a second and thought that you meant Lilo and Stitch had no staying power. But yes, what little mention of Moana I see in the wild isn't even about Moana herself, but rather Maui or the "consider the coconut" line. I guess they decided that it was a more relevant film to use for the hotel theme?

While we're talking about polynesian Disney crap, might as well briefly visit the Cursed AF Tiki Room. Here is a ghastly Orange Bird Funko Pop that is currently selling for around $85 a pop on eBay (archive)




This is particular lunacy to me given that Funko recently pulled an Atari and dumped tons of vinyl crap into a landfill.

Speaking of the Tiki Room, a good line of investigation for those out in the field documenting some of this stuff is watching out for the little cults that pop up around "classic" rides, especially the ones that only the most boomerest of boomers would love because they had some charm as an animatronic stage show 50 years ago but now are just boring and only liked by Disney maniacs. The Tiki Room at least has a bunch of animatronic birds and the charm of classic Sherman Brothers songs, but there are Disney adults who lose their shit over anyone speaking poorly of the Country Bears Jamboree or acts like the Hall of Presidents is anything other than a profound statement of American ideals.

I don't have Tik Tok and could only pull these off Google but these two have recently made the rounds. If someone more savvy than me can imbed the videos it would be appreciated!

Hound dogs the princesses. It's her thing.

Disney tattoos could fill a whole thread too.

 

[Premium Gonzo]

Most of those are cringy as fuck,but that SallyXPochantas was actually really beautiful ! The dream catcher wasn't that awful either.

 

[GenociderSyo]

The Elsa one is probably someone in costume. Elsa does not roam the parks they have a special building for her. The costume they use for her is pretty much the same one you can buy at Party City.

I will never understand Funkos. I bought a few Halo ones, like 2, but other than that, none after. They're a waste of pvc, none poseable for the most part, and most just don't sell well unless really popular. That and the big collectors are usually bugmen AND Disney fanatics, the two often intersect.
