Downtown Disney Reopens July 9th - Tracking The Changes & Closures
- Thread starter TP2000
- Start date
It's a casino without the slot machines. Like Commerce Casino or The Bicycle Casino. They may say casino in the name, but they are technically card rooms. In an odd legality cardrooms are allowed in California while full fledged casinos are not unless you are on Native American land.
Take this from someone who play a little too much poker.
Ha! Well, that's fascinating. I had no idea, and I've driven by that Commerce Casino several times.
Cardrooms. That's my new word for the week.
You're going to need some cards. (Side note: Can invite Theory 11 to open a booth at the Homecoming Festival to showcase magicians and card artists)

The Rules of Fizzbin:Except on Tuesdays.
The game can be played with a standard Earth deck of cards, despite the slightly differing deck on Beta Antares IV.
How many players can take part is not specified, but four is apparently the usual number. Dealing always progresses clockwise.
Each player gets six cards, except for the player on the dealer's right, who gets seven.
The second card is turned up, except on Tuesdays.
Two jacks are a "half-fizzbin."
If you have a half-fizzbin a third jack is a "sralk" and results in disqualification;
one wants a king and a deuce, except at night, when one wants a queen and a four;
if a king had been dealt, the player would get another card, except when it is dark, in which case he would have to forfeit that card.
The top hand is a "royal fizzbin," consisting of a king, a two, a jack, a six, two queens and two aces during the day, and a queen, a four, an ace, an eight, two kings, and two jacks at night; but the odds against getting one are said to be "astronomical."

I've been quite seriously "eyeballing" these for awhile. The ad keeps popping up whereever I go online.You're going to need some cards. (Side note: Can invite Theory 11 to open a booth at the Homecoming Festival to showcase magicians and card artists)

Just when they were considering adding Cardrooms to Skilled Nursing Facilities.

Oh come on, plenty of Card Playing in Nursing Homes
Note, this video might be racy, but nothing more, unless you like Vitamins!
I have 3 pair. 1 set to keep, 1 set to play with and 1 set to give away. They aren't "play" cards these are quality stock cards. The only thing I wish they did is make the Light and Dark face cards differently. Having the same face cards on both is a missed opportunity. Still, They are great and not too expensive for a one time purchase, but value is how you see it vs. the actual price.

So my wife and I were running some errands in OC and decided to make a pit stop at DtD. Parking and entry, zero issues. Guests were all wearing masks, social distancing for the most part was in place. A few people that chose to sit in areas that were clearly marked "don't sit" but some folks will always be ignorant of the rules.
Ate at Naples, waited about 20 minutes vs a stated wait of 40. Great pizza and a couple cold beers. Went to the Confectionary and they texted us that we could enter while we were at Naples...not a problem show up and they will let you get in line even if it's well after when you receive your text to show up. Waited about 5 minutes there. Only downside was that is a much smaller selection available. No cupcakes, cake pops, pretzels sticks but still lots of yummy treats available.
We weren't really looking to go to World of Disney...the line was very long so even if we wanted to, we would have passed. Reasonable lines for most other place, man with zero wait at all.
Crowds were pretty decent, more than I thought would be there. Overall, good experience but can't see us rushing to go back unless it's when we are visiting Sam's (whenever the H it opens)

I have reservations there next week. They couldn’t accommodate a big party so we had to split tables. Looking forward to going back there.

Always had a great experience there. Pretty much all the tables have some type of umbrella or covering so even though it was warm out, it wasn't unpleasant at all.
