Ah, yes. Romanticizing an old B Ticket attraction added in a panic after a Billion dollar theme park failed in the marketplace. What better way to celebrate 70 years than by sharing the Resort's old failures and removals! What's next, a hazy-romantic photo of the Pog exhibit in Tomorrowland in...

Hiya, gang! This was the last weekend before Burbank finally releases another film (finally!), with Pixar's Hoppers! Until then, here's the weekend box office without much happening for Burbank, blah, blah, blah. Rinse and repeat. https://www.the-numbers.com/weekend-box-office-chart

From the La Jolla Village Drive on-ramp it's a 90 minute drive to Ball Road without traffic, and parking is $40. Ticket is $150. Your list of excitement isn't doing much.

Top Tip: Huge El Ninx brewing for the winter of '27! Hyuuuuge!

I think you might be surprised at the crossover between those two demographics. Especially for The Gays over age 50. Oh, the dinner parties I've been to... 🧐 Sadly, no. I was doing my usual Not Church Sunday Morning, then laundry, then Target Run just for the excitement, then meeting friends...

I knew I liked you, right from the start! If you are going to bother to do something, go big and go bold! Be remembered! A year or so ago, I was considering that new EV Dodge Charger with 670 horsepower. Have you seen it? It's a HUGE 2 door coupe! For size, it rivals my Dad's old '67 Lincoln...

So, are you opening a tab with the bartender, or how are we working this exactly? 🤔

Okay gang, here we go! After striking out with an online records search for things like 1969-1971 copies of the Disneyland Line (which are available at the Anaheim Heritage Center, but you have to go there in person and I'm 500 miles away), and then checking the various and very excellent fan...

It was a huge draw at Disneyland at least into the early 1980's. I know this because my grandmother on my mother's side, a very conservative and patrician woman who was a prominent philanthropic supporter of the Seattle Symphony and who never went downtown without gloves and a hat, used to...

No, the lack of space behind and around the sole Bears theater at WDW. They landlocked it into that island that forms the southern edge of Frontierland and the northern edge of Adventureland, with other attractions and restaurants and kitchens and what-not all wedged in between. It was a...

With California shutting down its oil refineries now, I would imagine the price for Dad driving the gas-powered Camry would go up noticeably, by both the price of gas and TDA's penchant for hiking prices on everything they can. The price for the Tesla 2-Way option would increase marginally as...

As a gentleman of a certain age (ahem), I think I can respectfully say that when it comes to remembering things decades in the past, it's a very wise practice to take anything an old man says about something 30 or 40 or 50 years ago with a grain of salt. Like you say, the timeline of barely 6...

It would have been, yes. The openings were just so close together, and the shows were identical once you got the audience through the lobby and into their seats.

So send it home to wait 10 hours for you. That's going to be the cheapest option anyway. Self Driving Car 2-Way to Harbor = $25 ($10 electricity charge for 100 miles, plus $15 for a day's insurance and wear/tear) Dad Drives to Mickey & Friends = $60 ($10 gas, $40 parking fee, plus $10 for...

It should also be noted, the Indian Village had been there for 15 years at that time. And the Indian War Canoes were 15 years old. The decision to rename and retheme the Indian War Canoes to the Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes was partly done as a reaction to the Indian Rights movement of the...
