Forum Trash: Disneyland as a World of Warcraft Battleground

NOTE: No one is going to get this. You have to be an avid World of Warcraft player who participates in Player versus Player events (PvP), AND a Disneyland fan. There's only one other person I know who is into both, and he doesn't do PvP.

So, having said that, here is the post that no one will understand:

If there's anything I know more about than Hunters, it's Disneyland.

Disneyland is a PvP battleground, but it's like AV where the objectives are more important than melting faces (in fact, you can get thrown out for this).

Have a plan, and go to the nearest objective. If you try to zerg to Small World, you're going to waste a lot of time that you could have used riding Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. You'll notice I left out the Nemo Subs. Nemo is the Snowfall Graveyard of AV: don't take it, it's not worth it, it just leads to a three hour wait.

If the rest of your raid refuses to listen to you about zerging to Small World, here's an exploit you can use: take their tickets and get Fast Passes to Space Mountain. While the allies are waiting in line to cap, you'll quickly bypass them about two hours later FTW.

That's not really an exploit per se, so here is one: the Fast Pass has a time period in which you can return. You can't use it before the first time period, but you can use it anytime after that point, even after the end point. Why? It's the happiest place on earth! The CM (Cast Member) isn't going to penalize you for doing this, though they might gently remind you to try to come back earlier next time.

Badges: There are a ton of them, you don't have to collect all of them (or any of them). However, CMs have to trade with you as long as they don't have the badge you want to trade them. They'll even trade you epic badges (more commonly referred to as "hidden Mickeys")! This is the only way to get epic badges (that and ebay), so take advantage.

Some CMs have a backwards badge, and you can only see what it is by trading for it sight unseen. If the CM is a woman, it's probably an epic or something else good. If it's a male, watch out! It's probably gray quality or some other piece of junk.

Fantasmic!: This can be as difficult and tedious as summoning Lokholar, but it's very, very easy if you stop fighting in the road and take the high road! During the first show, take the train from Main Street to New Orleans Square. You'll bypass the first crowd (which is full of nubs who capped Nemo and came straight here to wait three hours for the first show) and be able to snag a great seat while they're clammering to get out. The alternative is to fight the crowd from the front and be forced to stand behind a tree for the second show.

Some final thoughts:

Don't try to pug DL, even as tempting as the single rider line is. Get a premade to maximize your fun.

DL PvP gear is optional, but can enhance your fun if you have the spare money lying around. But it comes enchanted, so that's something to consider.

Mickey evocates during Fantasmic! but watch out: his sword is a ranged weapon and his Power of Imagination is OP, IMO (you'll see). His loot table does not match the difficulty.

If the queue for DL BG is too long, head to California Adventure. It's not as rewarding but there are some great aspects to it. Plus, better chances for epic badges.

Avoid Nemo. Fastpass Space Mountain as often as possible, especially if you can't think of what ride you would want to do later.

Pirates and Haunted Mansion are required at some point during the BG. Teacups is highly recommended.

Indiana Jones with "well fed" food effects is not a good idea.

Peter Pan is surprisingly good. Mr. Toad is not. Neither are worth waiting in queue for two hours.
