There are is one I cannot understand.....

1A: Disneyland also lost rides - in a way that's supercilious (7)
The answer is, I think, 'snidely' = supercilious (def) but cannot parse this?

and two that I cannot do at all....

19A: Small talk includes "Yo Blair", initially Dubya goes over wearing this? (6,3)

I can get 'boy' but where does that get me?

27A: Where and how Superhero might label his faucet? (4)
B ? T -
Faucet = tap; tap is on the bath - the answer looks like 'bath' but why?

All help much appreciated!

Thanks , Ginge, I like that explanation of 'snidely' even better ! - interesting that there are two ways of getting the answer! (and I couldn't even get one!!!)
- and thanks too, for the other explanation for Bat H

Hi elle
When you look at 15^2, you will se that Tramp owns up to a mistake on the other one - there's an O missing from the wordplay
