This guide will provide everything you need to know about these Disney100 festivities at Disneyland, and it includes our take (and images!) of all the delicious food, pictures and details of the best merchandise, impressions of the new nighttime spectaculars Wondrous Journeys and World of Color - ONE, chats with Disney Imagineers about Disney100 and the history of Disney, and a preview of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway and Mickey’s Toontown. The Disney100 celebrations began for the public on January 27, and Disney invited IGN and other members of the press to preview everything Disney100-related before then, including Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, the brand-new themed food, merchandise, nighttime spectaculars, and more.

I’m interested in Pandora, Galaxy’s Edge, Runaway Railway, TRON, and Cosmic Rewind, but I just can’t see myself going back there all that much after, say, one or two more trips just to try out those experiences.In honor of this momentous occasion, Disney is kicking off its Disney100 celebrations and has chosen Disneyland to be the heart of the party. As far as rides go, all they really have left that I care about at WDW are The Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder Mountain, Test Track, Journey Into Imagination With Figment, Pirates of the Caribbean, Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, the Jungle Cruise, Rock N’ Rollercoaster, Everest, Space Mountain, and Dinosaur. I hear even a number of entertainment options have suffered, as well. A little over ten years ago, they also threw out Magic Kingdom’s Snow White, which was another favorite of mine as a kid. The ride track is staying, but the name is far less epic-sounding and memorable, imo.

In this decade alone, we’ve lost The Great Movie Ride, the California Tower of Terror (though I hear Guardians is good), and now Splash Mountain. They’ve slowly been removing many of my favorite things about the parks. Between this and all the other poor decisions they’ve been making, I can’t see myself supporting these parks much longer. I honestly cannot see myself going to Disney all that much in the future.
