Let me do my best Neil DeGrasse Tyson impression (sorry)... *Actually* when DCA opened the Ferris wheel was just the “Sun Wheel,” with a large Mary Blair-ish smiling sun. But Mickey was still on the pier, because the California Screamin loop had ears

Honestly the theme/name of the wheel doesn’t even matter because you can’t hear or see it when you’re actually on it (I mean I guess you can see the Pixar character’s faces on the vehicles in front or behind you?)

I’ll never understand why Paradise Pier was rethemed to Pixar Pier. I thought everyone liked DCA’s 2011 update, so why are we fixing what isn’t broke just to add more IP to the parks?

Still, at least Pixar Pier does more with the company, as opposed to Hollywood’s former Pixar Place, which is basically A Salute to All Pixar, but Mostly Toy Story.

As someone who genuinely misses the old DCA I'm voting Mickey's Fun Wheel

Uhhhh Disneyland’s Fantasmic is way better than WDW’s, and Soundsational slaps. I miss it a lot. I was legit just saying yesterday “man, I miss Soundsational”
