I would think the sheer scope of this attraction should put it into the Toy Story Mania category...at least for now. TSM is still a fairly new attraction so who knows how long it will remain as popular as it is now?!
Well it's been open for a few years and even on a slow day the wait time is near an hour while Monster's inc's line is pretty small and superstar had no line.


We can't skip to cars yet since that won't be here till about 2012.

TDL has Monsters Inc. like Buzz where you have these interactive flashlights. Does DCA have this? If not, any word if they would retro-fit it into the ride?

Probably not since that area is normally dead as the left side of the building is the empty shell from Millionare and to the right is an empty food service location.

On the plus side ElecTRONica and Flynn's have been extended again, now through Labor Day.

Is Monster's Inc. a ride in Cali opposed to the comedy show in WDW?

It's like a Fantasyland dark ride type of attraction.

I think I would like that better than the WDW version...

I saw from a previous Disney annual report that the TDL version had these flashlights which interact with the ride somehow. It just reminded me of Buzz and the guns.

TDL is interactive. I know someone who had gone since that attraction opened and they really loved it!

Funny... I didn't see all that other information. All I read was, "blah, blah, blah... Duffy is now invading California Adventure."

We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

So many inappropriate comments about the material Usula's chin is made out of, so little time. :D

"Bill, where did you find this material for her body at? It's amazing!"

"Uh... the internet?"
