Disney parks date vandal
A person using multiple IP addresses who persistently changes opening dates of attractions at various theme parks, but with a particular focus on Disney California Adventure Park. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason for the dates changes the user makes.

The editor either falsifies the dates on which certain park attractions opened or, as has been more common recently, intentionally editing articles to falsely state that certain attractions have closed. For example, see this edit.

The IPs geolocate to the California area (typically Central California).
