  1. We just got back from 6 days in the Disneyland area and had a great time. That's most likely our last trip for a long time as the older one is heading to college in a year. She did say she may request a WDW trip for her graduation next May. 4.5 park days. 3.5 at DLR, 1 at CA. Got in everything we wanted to do. It was really hot about 11am each day so we would go till about 2 and then head back to swim or nap. But man that morning and evening weather is so nice. On the 2nd day, we each took a kid and rode rides with just that one in the morning, whatever they wanted to do and then switched midday. Since that meant one got less time with each parent since we take a break at 2, we did the same thing on our final morning. With Lightning Lanes and getting there when the parks open, you can get so much accomplished. The kids took our LLs on Tuesday as we just took it easy, they got to ride most of the better rides twice. California Adventure really is a one day park and I should've just bought single day tickets over the park hoppers that we did. Incredicoaster was being refurbished the entire time we were there so that cut out a big option that my kids love to ride over and over. The Guardians ride fastpasses go really quickly so we never went back over to ride it. I could've saved a decent amount not getting the park hoppers. Wife and I went over to Trader Sam's at the DLR Hotel for some drinks and lunch. We didn't want to walk all the way back to our hotel so we just took a Lyft from the DL Hotel to our hotel. I would definitely recommend going over the weekend as some of the passholders are blocked from going and it keeps the parks from being a lot less crowded since the locals aren't able to go. We took one day off and I went with my oldest to tour UC-Irvine as she is interested in going out of state for college. It's a beautiful campus and is 5 minutes from John Wayne Airport. That airport is so easy to travel through and I would opt for it over LAX any day. We were able to check out from our hotel, store our luggage with them, go to Disneyland from 8am to 1pm and then head back to the hotel to change and grab our stuff so we could head to the airport for a 4:30 flight home. The Courtyard Theme Park hotel is so choice and we opt for it every time because the room is a great size for what you pay. There are 2 queens and a bunk bed, 2 showers, a 2 sink vanity which is key for teen girls, a Starbucks in the lobby to fuel your morning, a bistro for breakfast and lunches, a decent pool with hot tub that overlooks the side of Disneyland where you can see the fireworks which we opted to do on our rest day. It's under 10 minutes to walk to the security area which is great when you're hot and tired from a long day of walking around. We saved a good amount by booking a package with Getawaytoday.com. We had a great time on our trip. It just took a decent amount of planning and flexibility to deal with the crowds and heat. I would still opt for Disneyland over WDW 9 out of 10 times.
  2. Well, it's not like the kid was a teenager. But seriously, no parent is sacrificing their child for the world and where the screenwriters messed up was not having Sue say she wouldn't sacrifice her child to save the world nor would she sacrifice anyone else's child to save the world.
  3. No parent is giving their child away. It’s a simple as that.
  4. Stupidest person on the site. That’s his weapon. Going Sunday.
  5. Nunez is out. I hope he does well. Isak, come on down

    Well that doesn’t matter because your ass is on a plane to New Jersey, jackoff.

    Let’s go Apple!
  8. I think trend seems to be the tried and true pre-Endgame character movies will do really well like Guardians and Spider-Man but anything else will be a modest hit or a flop. Doomsday will probably do a ton because it’s an event movie but it won’t hit Endgame numbers. Tom Holland’s movie will kill it. Marvel just needs to live with lower numbers and smaller budgets.
  9. New kits look great. I may get the red and a long sleeve away.
  10. Which will happen first? The iPad going away as Junior predicted or college football players having 10 years of eligibility? The latter being something absolutely no one wants.
  11. Blue Horseshoe loves repeat threads
  12. If your enemy is superior, evade him. If angry, irritate him. If equally matched, fight, and if not split and reevaluate.
  13. Im_smarter_then_you looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, Im_smarter_then_you finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.
  14. Supposedly this is the away kit. Both the home and away kit will be released on August 1st since we have to switch over from Nike for our friendlies. Promo for the home kit
  15. People who are too online found something to get upset about. Just don't worry about the "controversy" and enjoy Sydney Sweeney in tight jeans. Maxwell wanted immunity in order to testify before Congress. The request was denied. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14952125/ghislaine-maxwell-request-immunity-testimony-denied-congress.html
  16. This was pretty cool to run across. I have no idea why I didn't go see at least one match at the Cotton Bowl in the summer of 94. The first match kicked off around the same time a former NFL HOF running back fled from cops on a slow speed chase in Los Angeles.
  17. Sources saying it might be an ACL injury. He's getting an MRI.
  18. Texas and aggy did this once. Maybe Texas OU as well. Somewhere in the thread I posted a picture I ran across which I believe was either from the late 50s or early 60s. Edit: found it. We were wearing orange helmets and aggy was wearing white. That would flip to them in maroon helmets and us in our standard white helmets.
  19. Saw this trailer before the Fantastic Four. Cameron is going to raise the game again.
  20. Cancelled his ass to the tune of a 212M worldwide box office weekend.
  21. I mean Tiffany explained that she really has no family except the Berzattos and all the people they are "related" to. Her own mother didn't bother coming to the wedding. But it is amusing what you guys get annoyed with. And again, more Sydney.
