The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

Also doing an August trip but to my surprise, we can fly into John Wayne.

That's my favorite airport to fly into when going to Disneyland.

I flew into John Wayne on my Nov 2019 trip and taking Lyft to and from the airport to my hotel near the parks was $27 and $20 respectively. When I flew into Long Beach (which is a quaint little airport) in Jan 2020 the Lyft rides were closer to $40. The cheaper airfare was overridden by the more expensive rideshare cost. I've never flown into Burbank like @Curious Constance is doing, but I think that distance is twice as long which is probably why Lyft is estimating it being closer to $100 each way.

When my fandoms collide.....

From the Disney Parks Blog Facebook post:
"Disney photographers captured these stunning photos of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, with Crew Dragon atop, soaring above Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom Park and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios early this morning!

Sitting in the Golden Corral in Anaheim. Open serving a true buffet. The have thefood service plastic gloves out for customers to use. Niceto see that you can still serve yourself.

Waiting for Noon to buy a May 3-game package of tickets for the LA Galaxy. Already have tickets for the home opener Sunday.

So things are moving forward.

This is interesting, found this manga comic on the Japanese Disney site explaining/advertising what the American parks are for Japanese who are only familiar with TDR: https://www.disney.co.jp/park/news/resort/210326.html?

I can provide translations if anyone’s curious what any of this says.

What's with the Arendale part? I assume they're plugging Fantasy Springs, but I'm confused about how it gets from AK back to TDL talk.

It's about FEA. The speech bubble in that panel is "Ah, the Frozen Ever After attraction found only in Florida is so wonderful and full of atmosphere from the movie."

This is fun: Remember a few years ago when Disney put a Zemekis-directed Mo-Cap Yellow Submarine remake into production and then killed it? Pre-Production animatics and storyboards with temp soundtracks are turning up. This reel covers much of the first act, from the attack on Pepperland to Eleanor Rigby. (Ignore the video’s creepy thumbnail )

Gotta say (and I’m a huge fan of the original), I like a lot of what they were going for here, especially the idea that what happens in Pepperland affects Liverpool’s residents as well.
Love the character designs for Ringo, Paul. Capt. Fred and The Lord Mayor.

The scene of the Apple Bonkers coming for the Mayor is... chilling.

Wish this hadn’t been canceled, even though I know tthese wonderful drawings would have been translated to CGI mocap... and might have lost their charm in the process.

Today I'm thrilled to join the ranks of those fully vaccinated. In two weeks, I hope to rejoin life. And return to DLR eventually. But probably not until the masks and plexiglass are down.

Congratulations! This has been a hell of a dark journey, but there is light ahead.

Got my second shot last Tuesday. Love hearing that folks are getting vaccinated.

I got mine on Saturday! Can't wait until I can get back to California. Last night's corny little livestream made me tear up.

Finished my vaccines back in March and all over 16-year-olds in family are done. We have our usual every-two-years trip to WDW planned for July. Glad to see other folks on here getting them done!

I got my second shot yesterday. Other than a little soreness in my arm I'm fine. I didn't have any reaction it either the 1st, and now the 2nd shot.

Hopefully no symptoms for you! I had a lot of body aches for my first shot, most likely because I’ve had COVID. The second shot was much better for me.

They say that those who had COVID react much worse since its the body finding out it had invaders and taking care of it. Shows the vaccine is doing its job.

But so far no symptoms after the 2nd shot for me other than the sore arm.

I really hope something good goes in this spot. And by good, I mean anything that adheres to proper food safety rules.
