Sometimes people will put nair in these- not sure how often it actually happens but it's not unheard of.
Hotels make the bottles tamper proof but they're honestly not that hard to get open.

I think the new Haunted Mansion trailer looks very promising. Jury’s still out on the story and the modern character humor, but… Everything about the mansion itself looks absolutely wonderful, and the trailer’s centerpiece hallway gag gives me great hope for lots of imaginative direction. Wonderful song choice, too! 
Fingers crossed!

I laughed a few times while watching the Mansion trailer, I must admit. Doesn’t look great, but it doesn’t look terrible either.

I wouldn’t use these. I’d bring my own travel minis. If the hotel had big open bottles of ketchup and mustard in the kitchen nook, I wouldn’t use those, either.
Because that’s how much I trust the random GP.

Come on, the Mansion itself looks awesome… and the cast is talented. Script… who knows.

Nah, script seemed terrible and if this film is a success, they WILL mess with the ride, almost certainly for the worse.Come on, the Mansion itself looks awesome… and the cast is talented. Script… who knows.
Rooting for its failure with bottomless enthusiasm.

Honestly that’s my fear. I’m intrigued by this movie but I really don’t want/need to see Tiffany Haddish and Owen Wilson AAs in HM.

It seems to me the film is, visually, perfectly keeping the style, art direction and tone of the ride. Hatbox is in it. The bride is in it. Haunted portraits are in it. The clock is in it. And they look properly creepy and at home, unlike what happened in the Eddie Murphy film.
It could still be bad. But I am rooting for it to be a really fun movie that does justice to the attraction.
Maybe a good film that captures the essence of HM would actually result in the end of HM Holiday, or at least cut down the overlay’s annual time.
My only true disappointment so far is that, once again, a Haunted Mansion movie is not about “two teenagers walking home from a date.” Mike and Karen are canon, dang it!

No kidding! That's my exact fear as well, regardless of the artistic merits of the movie.
They are now too stupid to not mess with the ride. They just can't be trusted any more.
The only thing that could save the ride is if the film is a Strange World and Tomorrowland style mega-bomb in theaters. I'm rooting for bomb!
I loved your GIF by the way. As a night owl, I miss the Conan O'Brien show so much! Thank goodness many of his best bits are still on YouTube. I could watch his adventures with Sona for hours and hours at a time. That time they actually went to Armenia together was hilarious (the Oriental rug store alone!), and I actually learned quite a bit about the horrible Armenian Genocide from those episodes (they never taught that in school in my youth). But what a comedy genius Mr. O'Brien is!

The sun returned to SoCal today, and some incredible photos have come out showing what this past weekend's 8 feet (Feet!) of snow in the San Gabriel Mountains looks like from around LA and Orange County's. These mountains often get snow up on the tops and crests in winter, but nothing like this and not down to these lower foothill elevations! Today's photos are simply incredible...
Orange County - Huntington Harbour looking north
Los Angeles County - Redondo Beach looking northeast towards LA skyline
Walt Disney Concert Hall looking north
Santa Monica Freeway looking east - Not a bad view for a commute!
But just be thankful you aren't this guy trying to find his driveway today up at Lake Arrowhead!
Orange County - Huntington Harbour looking north
Los Angeles County - Redondo Beach looking northeast towards LA skyline

Looks like Vancouver, stunning.

No kidding, that's exactly what it looks like! I met some family up in Blackcomb earlier this winter for a bit of skiing (well, I mostly just did the Apres Ski scene in the lounge, but I did have my skis on for at least 20 or 30 minutes) and I was reminded how stunningly gorgeous that city and corner of the world is.
More good news arrived today from the US Drought Monitor for all of Disneyland's trees and mature landscaping. Orange County has now entirely been taken out of Short Term and Long Term Drought status, and is now merely "Long Term Abnormally Dry". The rain totals for these maps are always several days behind and don't take into account all the rain OC and SoCal got in the last five days yet. And with more rain forecast for later in March, even if it's just another inch or two, OC will likely become entirely normal like much of LA, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties have just become.
The difference between now and this past November is miraculous for the entire state!

Because that's exactly what happened. Test Audiences for the film didn't like the idea of killing Chief with a lot of upset children which caused them to alter that sequence.

As an East Coast resident (Greetings from Jersey), I was wondering why we hardly got any snow these past two years. I remember we used to always get snow during the month of January and sometimes February. But I'll never forget that one Winter as a kid when it snowed so much that me and my dad decided to make snow angels. But the snow was so thick that we both got stuck in the same position out in the cold for 30 minutes.
The Disneyland photos and videos reminds me of that famous photo taken at Tokyo Disneyland back in the 1980s showing Mickey and the other Disney Characters standing outside as it was snowing. It's rare you saw real snow on Disney Characters that isn't fake snow.

Does this mean that the AstroTurf will be replaced with real living grass throughout the park ?

Do you think they would ever go back to real grass on the AstroTurf areas? What gives me hope is that they inexplicably left certain planters with real grass during the purge. The whole east side of the hub still has real grass and a few other places I can’t remember off the top of my head.
