Also they have a buffet here and the aroma coming out of that place smell like Benihana meet Ruth’s Chris. Not sure why but seeing a buffet up and running makes me happy. America isn’t America without buffets. 🇺🇸

We re going to Shabu Shabu though lol

They don’t seem all that concerned with masks here in Palm Desert at the hotel. Pretty much nobody is wearing them indoors in the restaurants, lobby or bars. Didn’t the whole state catch up with LA counties new mandate? Anyway it’s nice. It almost feels like 2019 over here. Full of people and energy.

Also probably full of unvaccinated people sharing the virus, which will be carried home with others. I’m sorry (and I know you’re vaccinated), but just because people aren’t dropping dead at their restaurant tables doesn’t mean the virus isn’t still spreading and taking its toll.
(Edit)
But while I’m here: How’s the food? :D

We're staying in Cathedral City for Christmas. Seems lots of folks had the same idea. A lot of the Airbnbs were booked.

Wanted to write a trip report from my visit a few days ago-

Splash Mountain is definitely in worse shape then it was a month ago. Lights have gone out, and figures aren't working as well as they were. A speaker or two were having issues as well.

Indiana Jones is still in embarrassing shape- the shortened safety film is grating and obnoxious. The rolling boulder still isn't working properly, the cavern doesn't actually move. The snake isn't working either.

Not quite sure what the new Disney Look rules are. I thought there was a size limit for tattoos, but I noticed at least one full sleeve and a few that had enough tattoos to basically be considered a sleeve.

Club 33 was an interesting experience. My friends that had already been had said dinner was a five or six course meal (five courses plus an optional cheese course). Not sure if this is a covid change but dinner was only four courses, and was like $25 more expensive then it was the last time my friends went. They had also eliminated the complimentary tea and water in the waiting area due to covid.

For my drink, I had this Indiana Jones themed beverage that came in an amazing ceramic mug (currently selling for $300 on Ebay, I should have gotten two since I don't want to sell mine)

I did the Ahi, heirloom tomato, duck breast, and chocolate for each course-

The service was hands down the best I've received at the resort. The staff were professional, courteous, and personable. There was a level of polish present that other table service venues in the resort lack. I enjoyed conversations with multiple cast members, who were excited to share stories. My server was especially incredible- and even gave me a complimentary dessert (A mickey mouse ice cream brookie, topped with almonds and a caramel and chocolate drizzle). The service was far better then what I've received at the Morton's in Burbank. The bathroom was immaculate and beautifully designed. The service was a stark contrast from the frumpy and mediocre service present everywhere else in the park- where cast members often seemed annoyed to be there and unprofessional.

I'm no fashionista... But I can imagine that if this was some genius "push the envelope" kind-of fashion, slapping a 50th anniversary castle on it would kind-of negate the "fashion" part of the fashion. Right?

Is she wearing two pieces, or is that some sort of lounge/prison jumpsuit hybrid?

And.... this is for the FLORIDA parks. Why the long sleeves and warm fabrics?

Nope! Lol …but for a group of “House of Mouse” fans.. there sure is a lack of “House of Mouse” mentioned or showcased anywhere in the article (for better or for worse..) That show was fantastic (on that note, it needs be put on Disney Plus.. I’d happily binge watch it all) View attachment 575357

I would sell seriously give my voice to Ursula for a House of Mouse revival on Disney+. That show was too good for only lasting 2 seasons.
