I'm not overly crazy about any Disney character in itself but Disney Land in itself is pretty awesome. I've been 4 times once as a young teenager, 2 times in my 20s with my gf now wife and once in my late 30s with wife and 2 kids the xmas right before the pandemic started. Every time was awesome. Yea yea there are moments of shittiness like who the hell enjoys lining up for an hour or walking all day but in the end still pretty sweet.
That said, different locations will provide different experiences. First 3 times I went to Anaheim and the last in Tokyo. The crowd in Tokyo is way different people are significantly more orderly and the vibe is more calm. I've heard from multiple friends that the HK one is pretty shit so if you're going for the first time probably go somewhere else lol.

I miss the Canadian hip-hop scene from the 90s / early 00s. I guess many are still underground but seeing as 'Soundcloud rapper' is a living meme, it doesn't have the same caliber as this stuff.
I remember always getting hyped for the intro but halfway through each episode I'd be bored and want to watch something else... But I think it was on at a weird time so there would be no other cartoons to watch.

That's my memory of The Raccoons anyway
Same. The Raccoons were Sunday evenings around dinner time. He-Man was earlier, Care Bears(don't judge me) were in around the same time slot too. It was kind of a weird time because school was the next day and it was bedtime after the shows and I remember being sad about that part. Lol!
As a kid of the 80s, there were many nights spent fantasizing on winning a toy store shopping spree at Toys R Us, which was not in Canada at the time.
Oh man I totally remember daydreaming about out how many GI Joes and Transformers I could fit in there.. and if I'd be able to balance some of those massive GI Joe bases on top of it all
An interesting thing looking back to all those 80's cartoons is that they were all basically anime... Higher end ones at least would get Japanese studios to do all the animation. So if you watch a series and some episodes were good and some were shit, the good ones were usually from Japan and the shit usually from Philippines or elsewhere.
Of course some of them were literally anime series smashed together (with sex and alcohol removed) and dubbed into English, but even shows like Gummi Bears, Muppet Babies, Real Ghostbusters all had episodes done in Japan. And usually the intros since they were worth paying money for, so intros often had better animation than the show itself.
I remember taking it apart to see how the screen worked. Was kind of disappointed with how simple it was inside, basically just a rotating drum that the light shines through.
