Poor Gail's Almanac

A crazy old Florida broad.

@Michaelfiore Europeans don't realize that trains aren't practical for most American cities. It's easy for a few very large cities, but the rest? Most cities are sprawling. They would be slow because of a million stops, or nobody would use them because of the long hike to their destination.

@PazzaMamma9 @compliantvc That's because there are so many people saying things like this who actually mean it.

[Los Angeles Times @latimes]

"Pratt’s loudest fans fundamentally loathe modern-day L.A., and that should chill all other Angelenos," writes The Times' columnist Gustavo Arellano.

@OffhandDisney Oh wow, I did the tour yesterday. We almost crossed paths.

[Poor Gail's Almanac @Poor_Gail]

@DisneyFoodBlog Epcot. It's already a mall.

@MattRinaldiTX A in boyu

@DisneyDan @OffhandDisney Wages in Florida have been traditionally lower than a lot of places forever. There is an attitude that you are being "paid in sunshine," i.e. that you should be willing to take lower pay so you can live in a place without snow.

@OffhandDisney And *of course* it's opening on a day my annual pass is blocked. My old bones aren't up to the ride, but I was hoping to at least take part in the excitement and grab some merch.

[Poor Gail's Almanac @Poor_Gail]

@ChrisHantis @Michael_Eisner But not at the Magic Kingdom. This would actually work well at the Studios, but I don't know if they still have the rights to the character.

[Poor Gail's Almanac @Poor_Gail]

@ImPacingMyself @Michael_Eisner It also needs to move faster to make use of popular products. Encanto was very well received, and here we are a year out with nothing more than Mirabel recently being added to a parade float.

So I watched the D23 Parks panel livestream yesterday... sorta. I kept mentally drifting off because there was so little that effected the US parks. At least we're getting the Hatbox Ghost. That's something. *sigh*

[Poor Gail's Almanac @Poor_Gail]

@OffhandDisney So... I watched for ages to find out we're getting the Hatbox Ghost. And not much else. No people are getting moved. I suppose if I wanted to be chipper I could say that after so many times of over promising they are trying to be more careful, but that would require optimism.

@AllEarsNet 100% dark ride. There are dozens of places to go for thrill rides, but only Disney specializes in dark rides.

[Poor Gail's Almanac @Poor_Gail]

@Yester_World Yeah, I was baffled at that. "Come see a movie about a character we murdered in another movie."

[Poor Gail's Almanac @Poor_Gail]

@AllEarsNet Always the monorail. After that, the boats because they seem more exotic than buses. I'm still getting used to the Skyliner.

[Poor Gail's Almanac @Poor_Gail]

@chipandcompany Honestly, I wasn't interested from the moment I heard that Tim Allen wouldn't be voicing Buzz. That just screamed that it wouldn't be the character that we know and love.

[Poor Gail's Almanac @Poor_Gail]

@OffhandDisney Alas, no joy for me. But on the bright side, I rode Living with the Land for the first time in ages. I didn't see you anywhere. I'm disappointed.

[Poor Gail's Almanac @Poor_Gail]

@OffhandDisney Try again at 1?

[Poor Gail's Almanac @Poor_Gail]

@Jenocallaghan18 @DisneyFoodBlog And Epcot Forever was more fun than either of them.

[Poor Gail's Almanac @Poor_Gail]

@OffhandDisney I'll be there that day. I'll keep an eye out for you!
