The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

[Disneyland/DCA]

Why are we profiling the most entertaining poster on the board here? I love all the @TP2000 posts and hope he visits the park in the future just for the fun and well thought out commentary we'd get.

I've learned a lot about male fashion and weather patterns from TP

I accidentally came to the park today without knowing about ANY of these things.

I have seen a fair number of Gay Day shirts but so far NO obvious MAGAs.

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...

TP2000 - were you at the MAGA gathering at DLR?

Sadly, no. I was doing my usual Not Church Sunday Morning, then laundry, then Target Run just for the excitement, then meeting friends at the fave Japanese Steakhouse in town kind of Sunday. Several hundred miles away.

@TP2000 I think it’s time to finally convince the family to take a day trip over to Disneyland on your annual La Jolla stay this year.

I tried to get my Sister and her boys interested last summer, and this past Christmas, and they've just drifted completely away. (From Disneyland, not me) Both of the nephew's wives are now expecting (both boys have always been incredibly competitive!), so in a few years there will be Great Uncle TP2000 to take the next generation and get them indoctrinated early.

I'll make another push for this Easter vacation, as La Jolla is on the itinerary and I go down first and stay late to open/close the house for everyone. But unfortunately, I just don't give a crap about the new Marvel stuff in DCA, and there's nothing new at Disneyland enough to lure me in on my own. Paint The Night? Oh, suddenly it's 2017!

Don't worry though, I'll head back there sooner than later. Maybe if the Soarin' 250 film is really good?! When does that open again? By July 4th, I would imagine. But what's the opening date exactly?

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

You aren't excited for the Marvel ride that was supposed to open in 2020 to open 7 years later? What about the iron man arm ride that is 30 seconds long?

Just think of the excitement and majesty of The Plaza De La Familia where you can order a sandwhich at an unthemed corner of a themepark.

What about Disneyland's 70th where you can see blue and pink banners on main street?

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.

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 1995?

A Light Magic tribute?

Luigi's Flying Tires deflated beach ball auction for charity?

Question for locals:

I can get non-stops via LAX or Ontario. Which is better for DL? It looks like I may have to come in via LAX (not happy about that one because of the Uber pickup area) because of flight times, but I can get a red eye back via Ontario.
