Totally
Been to Florida in summer
Ughhhh!!!!
Southern California is warm during day with ocean breeze cooling at night.
Same in Bay Area this week
Rush hour disappeared
It’ll cost you to enjoy the CA climate, too.
Our kids who live in the Bay Area visited last week. They can’t get over how affordable things are in the Midwest. Our home is 1/4 of the cost of theirs, we have 3 times the size of their house, AND we live on 1-2/3 acres instead of their 1/16 acre.
Who can forget the hour+ long wait in line for the Matterhorn?
It was SO worth it!
Definitely worth the price of the E ticket :-)
There’s so many opportunities to see them go off, as they have a very low triggering threshold
My relatives in El Paso said that the usual, daily El Paso back to Juarez traffic has definitely slowed down.
Was that an E ticket ride?
I don’t know what the lefties expect. He already met with flood victims in Texas. What was he supposed to do, just stay there? He has a family.
The great thing was that you could get a ticket book for several members of the family, and then purchase single ride “E” tickets so that the whole family could go on those rides together.
I don’t know how many times I rode Dumbo and the Teacups, while my older siblings did everything else. We had a large age spread from oldest to youngest (12 years), so the older kids had plenty of fun, just the same as us younger kids did.
They have a parking garage now. All you need to remember is the level and row/section. Easy-peasy.
Far too crowded and the rides I remembered as a kid were long gone.
Time marches on. Do you miss Zoot-Suits, too? (Just kidding.)
Like all public attractions, Disneyland has their off-season. Go there at that time and it's very uncrowded. One time, my daughters rode the Matterhorn seven times within 30 minutes. Ride the ride, get off, run around the chateau and into the entrance and right back into a bobsled.
You can even walk into the Blue Bijou without a reservation. One time, our family and friends were one of three tables in the restaurant.
The last time I was there, we were able to walk right up to the front door of the Haunted Mansion as if we were visiting a friend, go in, get on the elevator and start the ride.
Ditto for Indiana Jones, Pirates, Space Mountain, etc.
Bingo.
J.D. Vance has no business visiting Molesterland / Groomerland.
I went through boot camp in Orlando, FL in July and August. The floors in the buildings were sweating from condensation. Storms every afternoon with lightning from hell. Then, at the end, a hurricane came by to make it interesting.
I’m old enough to remember those ticket books. The E tickets, of course, were always the best. I have happy memories of Disneyland. Now going on the rides is more complicated with using your smart phone, and the admission is certainly more expensive.
Vance has every right to take his family to Disneyland. That County Supervisor is an idiot.
Humid too. What a terrible place.
Besides, you really can’t equal the original Disneyland, just off W. Katella Ave. where Walt started it all back when many of us were kids. A magical place for sure.
Went to a party in West Palm in June
Never again
Water was warm and there were few hawt chicks at the restaurants because the season had ended in March
People called the Biden Administration Obama's third term. I fear that the second Trump Administration will be a third GWB term, some good economic policy but the Swamp remaining fetid and undrained.
IIRC, all the good stuff was E ticket.
No idea what “it’s a small world “ was, but the ride was execrable. GF wanted to ride the thing.
Pirates was fun,but I heard they took down the fat braod chasing a pirate down.....
jungle cruise not so much fun other than the guide shooting the hippo.
Long been canceled as too violent no doubt.
i dont think JD had any of those problems
