It’s a sweet diecast. Has some weight to it. $18. Got it at one of those marketplace shops at Galaxies Edge. They were also selling a AT AT and Tie Fighter diecasts that were honestly even more appealing and displayed better than the Falcon but I went with the Falcon because it’s the Falcon

Cool. I like how detailed it is.
It’s pretty sweet and priced well. The gun turret spins too.

That’s such good news! I’m pretty sure my Maxpass tickets include free ride photos as part of the Photopass option as long as that still includes Photopass for me.

I noticed the ride photos were removed from the traditional exit area of Racism Mountain where all the TV sets were turned off, but new screens were installed outside in the elements. The penny machine was also removed.

Is that Socal Pass still around that gets you in to Universal Studios Hollyweird and Knott's Berry Farm solution?

The one by my house has two signs up- one that they're hiring (pay starts at $12/hr, in a state with a $7.25 minimum), and the other that indoor dining is completely reopened.
It’s so weird leaving Disneyland with thousands of people but having Panda Express have you line up outside 6 feet apart when there are only like 3 customers inside the restaurant also spaced out. Then you walk in and they have one employee managing guests and telling them where to stand and making sure they re on their markers. Oh ya a one way entrance and exit too

I'm still hopeful it'll be good—it's one of the few remakes that's gotten very few glowing initial reviews, and it's in the style of remakes that I've always wanted Disney to do: reinterpretation of the source material, not a shot-for-shot remake.

I don’t blame them. If I was working at a fast food job, I’d want this system in place permanently.It’s so weird leaving Disneyland with thousands of people but having Panda Express have you line up outside 6 feet apart when there are only like 3 customers inside the restaurant also spaced out.

I believe The Guidance specifically limited capacity at Panda Express to 3 people. It's in section 37B.

Nothing like setting your alarm for 6:55, clicking at exactly 7am and still not getting a boarding group. I couldn’t sleep last night and should’ve slept in—starting the day this way is bizarre as a guest paying for FIVE PEOPLE (three older kids, two parents, all five Star Wars fans) to come to the park today.
The emotions of not getting a pass when one does the whole unpleasant process correctly (waking up to an alarm, waiting to click a button at the second it turns 7am... how is this my life...) are pretty negative and frustrating, and are going to carry into the day at the park.
And now to tell my kids we didn’t get a “boarding group” for the ride they want to go on the most, as all passes were claimed in under one second on a random Thursday in May.

After being awoken by a cat going berzerk outside at 3 in the morning, I had a bizarre dream I was on HM and it had an entirely new scene where the cars careen at high speed down a corridor before returning to the original ride. It was as awful as you'd imagine, yet I still believe it was better than anything they'd come up with for it in real life.

Designing a headliner ride for Disneyland that can only be experienced each day by lottery-winners is the stupidest, most arrogant thing Imagineering has ever done. Who cares if they’ve made the overall park experience worse for everyone and further enslaved people to their cell phones? It’s all so enchantingly magical!
I agree with cell phone. And I’m someone that’s on mine at home all the time. It’s a shame that a visit to the parks now require you to have your face buried in your phone. Snagging boarding passes and Virtual queue return times. Mobile ordering. Max passes. Linking photos. It would hit me every once in a while that I wasn’t even looking around the park. Sure you don’t NEED to do any of those but that’s not entirely true. If someone is paying a near $1,000 for the day to get their family in you can’t blame them for wanting to maximize the day or get on the big rides. Then with the food situation being what it is now if you don’t mobile order you could be stuck having a churro for lunch.

No ride is ever designed to handle every visitor. That’s just the nature of how parks operate.
The Boarding Groups though are worse than a lottery. It’s first come first serve but you have no real control over your place. One hiccup of a fraction of a second in your connection and you are out of luck. An actual lottery would at least be honest and not subject to the peculiarities of your connection.

Two weeks ago en route to Silver Dollar City, we stopped at a Chipotle for dinner in central Illinois. This particular Chipotle had a giant sign that stopped you as you walked in that they were only accepting orders through their own app. You could not simply walk up to the counter and order. App only!
Total overkill for where we are in the pandemic IMO, more extreme than anything I've seen by me in the Chicago burbs (and having people hang out indoors waiting for their food certainly can't be *better* than just running the Chipotle normally), and a huge contrast to Missouri, where the pandemic is basically over.
