Tiana's is going through some things | State of Disneyland 2025/01/22

[@brawndoelecrolytes941]

They need to open up Galaxy’s Edge to the entire Star Wars catalog. And use John Williams fantastic music! Also, another ride and/or a sit down restaurant.

[@toddjones1480]

It was also designed to be at WDW. Maybe they thought people in Florida would be confused if there wasn't a lot of wasted space.

[@fluffytimes100]

Great suggestions! That would be fantastic. 🎉

[@stanfordite1]

Galaxy's Edge is getting demolished in the not too distant future due to Disney being broken up under antitrust and losing Lucasfilm. George's family will own it again. Like anyone will miss Star Wars in Disneyland.

[@AimeeML]

My husband and I feel the same way. All the other lands in Disneyland have music, the music from Star Wars is so amazing, it’s a big miss not to include it. I would also add droids.

[@Stargazer78]

David, we should never expect broken, poor quality show from Disney, especially with the huge prices they charge now. We deserve better, and Disney needs to do better. Loving Disney doesn't mean we have to accept getting less than we paid for.

[@FreshBakedDisney]

I’m not necessarily saying we should expect it, though it has always been part of the Disneyland experience. I’m saying we should be patient and not get crazy and panicked. In the near future all will be well.

[@lddcavalry]

@@FreshBakedDisneyI hope you’re right but I don’t see this happening with current Disney. Things have really gone down hill especially this last decade. Thanks for your being positive I find your post helpful in reminding me to why I love going there.

[@davidh9638]

Especially on bayou mountain. The broken animatronics are nearly new!

[@FreshBakedDisney]

That’s often why they break down. There is a period of adjustment

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

Yes, I’m nervous there’s a lot of excuses coming from the vloggers were Disney is concerned, especially where the disabled People are being treated like garbage.

[@carolleiter6027]

Ok, the lady and child in front of you on thunder was priceless and fantastic. I had to watch them twice.

[@3dogMom1512]

I came to say the same thing!!! So glad to hear them having so much fun!!

[@fluffytimes100]

Here’s a beautiful Disney vibe - my husband and I went on Indy a long time ago and we were going to be in the very front seat but there was this little boy and his mom behind us and he really wanted to be in the front seat. So of course we let him and then we had the pleasure of watching him the whole time with his toy story woody doll having the best time ever! He showed the doll everything, and he laughed the whole time and had a total blast. And we had a way better time than if we’ve been in the front seat. What a sweet boy.❤❤❤❤

[@lisariley8705]

I remember the year Indy opened - it was a huge event! I think it holds a special place in my heart because of those memories. Indy is my favorite ride to this day! I will gladly wait in line for it :)

[@stanfordite1]

Disneyland was completed when Indy opened and when I take over Disney, the park will be frozen in time the way it was after Indy opened. Any attraction that opened after March 3, 1995 will be closed and reverted to its previous state.

[@grantwarren5214]

The decoding cards they handed out so you could decode all the symbols inside were the best!

[@jesh_]

My frustration does not necessarily come from the fact that Tiana's breaks down so much but that the ride despite being a retheme of splash mountain and not changing any ride systems or mechanisms still manages to close as often as Indiana when splash mountain was a very reliable attraction being a simple log flume. Nothing should've changed reliability wise yet the ride still evacuates around four times a day. This is the confusing lack of quality that upsets me.

[@hannahrau2929]

For how valuable every inch of the land available to disney, you would think galaxies edge wouldn’t be so much dead space.

[@WindowtotheMagic]

Yep... and based on that logic, which I believe is good logic... maybe the "dead space" isn't actually "dead" but part of the intended experience.

[@willsob]

I want to go on every ride with the mom and kid we heard on Thunder. They were having the time of their lives. ❤

[@kyaellett846]

9:22 saw you this day and just found us in the video! Thanks for all the content, we love it! Jungle didn't open till 12 that day, not sure if that's normal... and there were a lot of down times for a lot of rides. But still a good day.

[@breezemenardi1472]

The problem with Tiana’s is that it’s definitely more of a “dark ride” than a “thrill ride” like Indiana Jones. Tiana’s, or Splash Mountain actually, was designed around the animatronics. So when they don’t work it’s much more glaring than effects not working in Indy. Indy was designed to be thrilling.

[@thebluetarp]

My issue is the logs move too quick. And the scenes are awkwardly placed. You have to crane your neck to the left to see the awesome band. The animatronics are amazing! Gotta give them that

[@stanfordite1]

Tiana's is fake and a figment of your imagination. Splash Mountain is alive and well in Disneyland and I'll be enjoying plunging in to the Briar Patch with Brer Rabbit for the centennial in 2055.

[@lol-rq3lk]

@@stanfordite1 take your meds

[@stanfordite1]

@@lol-rq3lk I speak the truth and you never tell military men what to do, civvie. You take orders from me, do you understand? It's the law. Splash Mountain is open at Disneyland this second and is not racist. Disney has no right to say what's racist and there is no Tiana's Bayou Adventure. When I take over Disney and make it great again, Tiana will be treated like baseball treated Pete Rose

[@kelsmister]

YES THANK YOU. Someone made that comment a while back when they redid it.. saying its a fantasyland ride shoved into an eticket, and thats why it feels off. Splash worked cuz it was similar to haunted mansion- an omni style where you can enter any scene without having a start and stop, as it was one continuous loop. But with tiana's you have to trigger each scene, which is where they're saying the errors keep happening. When one log doesnt trigger the sensor, or it does too soon the animatronics freeze up, as per their coding. Instead of just copying what splash did, have them just have a loop of dialogue.

[@anw9485]

Thank you for the content over the years! Sadly, we decided to let our MK's expire this week(in fact, on the day of your video!). We had a lot of fun times at the park but for the last couple months we've gotten pretty burnt out and the crowds have been grueling. Maybe we'll be back in a few years!

[@sharonshade4437]

Ditto! I am letting my key go this week, pretty much for the same reasons. Way too crowded to do anything but walk around or just stand in line for an hour + each attraction.

[@anw9485]

@@sharonshade4437 Yeah the majority of the day is spent trying to get into the parking structure, into the park, wading through crowds and waiting in lines etc. The real "Magic" is those days where the park was semi-empty. But those days are few and far between. 😂

I did not get magic key this year as there are too many people! Also, Imagine keys are blocked out a lot, so what would be the point in getting one?

[@sharonshade4437]

Ditto. Letting mine go this month.

[@stephenfreitas8546]

Tiana shouldn’t have been repeated so often in the attraction. There are other second tier characters from the film who could have been added to create “Marc Davis” moments.

[@bhuff123]

When the train is down for work and the monorail doesn’t work, it should be a low tier day

[@WindowtotheMagic]

Yes, because when 2 of 68 rides at the resort are down, the park isn't worth it anymore, right? That 2.9% of the park being unavailable should get you a discount. How about a 2.9% discount? That seems fair, doesn't it?

[@sharonshade4437]

My key expires this month and I decided to let it go. The times I have gone in the last six months have been prohibitively crowded and many attractions down temporarily or for long term refurbs. I just can’t justify the price to walk around and eat snacks, when I can do that at downtown Disney or the hotels for free. Bummed to let go of the key, but too much to pay to do barely anything. I plan to use your pricing tier to go to a few expensive daily ticket days hoping to see fewer crowds, or some special night events instead. 🤷‍♀️

[@entertainus3381]

The lady's laugh in front of you on big thunder is hilarious

[@toddjones1480]

I boarded the Big Thunder train you were on right after you exited. Was only 80% sure it was you until you put on your hat. Big Thunder was not down for 90 minutes. It was down for SEVEN HOURS. I was most of the way through that line when it went down a bit before 9AM. I was checking the app for closures every few minutes all day. Indiana Jones opened very late and had multiple closures. It was also stopped while I was on it, but they didn't clear the line that time. Haunted Mansion opened late. They said they were having audio issues. Tiana's opened waaaaaay late. Rise closed at least once, same with Runaway Railway. Runaway Railway was down for multiple hours around mid-day. It was a very frustrating day, but I somehow rode everything except Small World and Astro Orbiter. There's probably some stuff I'm forgetting right now.

[@LukePool-f1r]

[@toddjones1480]

​​​​​@@j.7881 I finally made it to WDW two years ago and it was heavy culture shock. So much wasted space. Seemingly endless expanses of bare, unshaded concrete everywhere. I was also not prepared for how far apart the parks were. EPCOT may have the worst layout of any theme park in history. But they have some cool stuff we don't have here, and I was very glad that I went.

[@MattyJ]

The difference between Indy, Rise of the Resistance and Tiana with breakdowns is that the former 2 didn’t dump a classic ride, that worked fine, for something very few people wanted (more like okay with) and it’s been breaking down since day one.

[@dhpat805]

Thank you for the reports!

[@zeroconsequences]

Did we say the same thing about Tron or Cosmic Rewind? Did they go through "some things"? Maybe Disney should have just spent more money on this reskin instead of trying to half-ass it while knowing they were ripping apart an iconic and beloved attraction -- or they should have just kept Splash Mountain in better condition all those years leading up to it's closure.. pausing any major refurbs and not fixing dilapidated scenes for a decade really did a disservice to the attraction and has obviously left a legacy of dereliction. But if they did that, they'd have less of a reason to reskin it. The problem is that they couldn't have their cake and eat it, too.

[@marcuscheng2507]

Keep up the amazing work!! Your filming is great!!

[@laurawestermeyer5295]

I rode Tiana's for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I loved the ride, but there were 2 animatronics not working at the time. One Lewis and the final Tiana. The problem with the animatronics just standing there, is that everything else around them has so much movement that they stick out. Especially the final Tiana. Her final song also sounded kind of soft, kind of like she was whispering. I think it is also off putting that her eyes keep moving around in a way that feels unnatural. I am still really happy I rode it.

The new animatronic's are all electric ease of maintainance. Alarm goes off on the control main panel, maintainance heads over to the problem. Remove broken panel clip in the replacement, switch it on good to go. Tiana in the last scene has'nt worked from the neck down for over a month now. It does'nt look good when you've paid extera for Lightening Lane only to find your in another long line going no where. Cheers, Chris Perry.

The only thing better than riding the Teacups as Disneyland...is riding them at NIGHT!

[@Brian-12345]

The teacups are a magical place to watch a parade. During a parade, the line is typically shorter than what one rotation will hold, so you can ride over and over the whole duration of the parade. And the characters WILL see you and wave, as there’s not much else for them to look at as they pass the teacups.

The rides aren’t less than a year old… only the themes are new. The ride mechanics and other infrastructure are decades old. Think of it as painting an old semi-reliable car and swapping out the interior upholstery. The car doesn’t automatically run better because you changed the color.

[@beachstreet101]

Disneyland’s Magic Key prices climb higher and higher every year. The prices are so outrageous it seems like a joke. It’s also become increasingly more challenging for Magic Keys to get reservations on the day they want to go. This tells me Disney is trying to sway people’s interest in the Magic Keys. They want guests to pay for regular tickets. They want guests that are not passholders. I’ve been getting an annual pass infrequently since 1990. In the 1990’s, I remember the park was always empty especially during the week. Lines less than 15 mins. No fast pass no lighting lane. It was a smooth enjoyable experience at the parks. It wasn’t til maybe 2008 when I started to notice the crowd levels growing astronomically. More people were getting passes. As late as 2013, my pass was $300. And parking was free. It was post 2020 when Disneyland really started making ridiculous choices like the money grab with the lightning lane. They likely lost so much money during the pandemic being closed for so long that they’re still trying to get it back.

[@JoeDunn-g4z]

Actually, they are more worried about increasing Iger's bonus by $10M.

I honestly don’t know if I can ever go back. My family of 3 and I used to go every year. That was our big family bonding thing for the year. Now I cant even afford it. Because of how they are not helping with disabilities much anymore, I don’t know if I could justify spending so much money when I would not be able to go on many rides. I would have no choice but to pay for genie plus or I would go on even less rides. I grew up going once a year and continued with this my entire life (and even had passes for a couple years) until a few years ago when we were priced out and they changed disability help. I used to work in the Disney Store as well. I loved Disney. I am so saddened by this. Disneyland has always been part of our lives and I feel it has just been ripped out from us by price and disability access. I don’t see an end to this.

[@toddjones1480]

Tier 0 and Tier 1 days are cheaper than 2019 price. The food prices are absolutely brutal, but Disney lets you bring in most outside food and drinks. (A true rarity in the theme park world. Most only allow a water bottle and MAYBE a small snack if you have kids.) Even if they didn't, much cheaper food is right across the street. There's also a 7-11 without crossing.

[@mjohnson5475]

Just spent a week at Disneyland for the first time in a year and a half. Splash Mountain used to be my absolute favorite, but was disappointed with the Tiana’s. Wish they would’ve done something with the voodoo man instead of just looking for a band. Also, the ride is too fast. I don’t mind getting splashed, but the boats always had like an inch or more of standing water. And on the drops there was always a tidal wave of water headed towards your shoes. Again, I don’t mind getting splashed, but I loathe getting my shoes soaked all the way through when I’m walking 8-10miles in a day. Definitely a pass for me unless my kids are wanting to go on it.

[@stanfordite1]

Except Splash Mountain is still open and there is no Tiana.

I wonder why the balusters (the upright bars like those in front of a jail cell) in the fencing of the queue of Haunted Mansion & Tiana's are spaced so far apart? "Disney" has a tradition of getting all the details down right. So although planners of a Six-Flags park would snicker at my question, those balusters are to DL what DCA is to DisneySea.

[@DrStarlander]

The purpose is to divide the space and to have a handrail. Having more vertical supports creates opportunities for kids to get their heads and limbs entwined in the railing and get hurt and delay line movement.

[@gridley]

@@DrStarlander That makes me think of a variation of the reason they felt that Splash Mountain had to be replaced by Tiana's. Actually, if the issue with the metal railings was due to cost savings (fewer balusters), in a way that's less bad than pouring millions into redoing a perfectly good attraction for political reasons. Or visa versa too.

[@DrStarlander]

​@@gridley I'm not totally following you in connecting this to Tiana's but at HM the revised queue has a different layout and all new railings were required, so what I see is they applied current human-factors design considerations. I think there's plenty of other areas to direct ire that are more inexplicable and less defensible.

@ Splash Mountain was changed for political reasons whereas you're saying the design of the railings were done for safety reasons. Either way, judgment & decisions often are very political. However, the use of fewer balusters may have been done to reduce costs too? At EPCOT, they demolished the Fountain of Nations. Now it's just a planter, so the kinetic energy of water is gone. Why did they do that?

From the boring bride to iger telling everyone to suck it up about their amazon decor...I love the positivity of Fresh Baked and content🙌🏻👍🏻💞

Love the bride!! But Iger is a fool, agree with that. He chose new SW over vintage. BIGGEST blunder in theme park history

I look forward to dismantling everything Crooked Bob worked for when I take over Disney and be the Trump it needs to make it great again. I also look forward to giving Crooked Bob's name to the HUAC like Walt would've and landing him on the blacklist.

Indiana Jones’s wasn’t breaking down constantly when it first opened and is a lot more complicated than a poorly themed splash mt. We are paying more money for lower quality it wasn’t this way back in the 80’s and 90’s.

The animatronics are VERY complicated.
