What's the Deal? / Thread Killer

Haha, you know what we are dealing with. Cough, cough...Tom Wolf (and his cronies). I'm sure it's not as bad out west where Cinderelley is.

Thanks for the explanation. Last year wasn't really a bad year in my opinion. I wouldn't say it was an amazing year, but I don't really have that doomsday feeling that some people seem to have. I'm mostly annoyed at all the misinformation I see tossed around by both sides that leads to such antipathy. That isn't going to go away, which probably leads to my attitude that nothing is going to change with the calendar change. :P I don't know who Tom Wolf is, but it sounds like he might be part of the problem.

Well, so far, 2021 has not started off very well. Even more political chaos, and the Covid-19 pandemic raging on worse than ever. But I'm hoping the vaccine availability gets more widespread soon, so that we can get this thing under control and my wife and I can get back to WDW. Maybe things in Washington, regardless of one's preferred political persuasion, will even get a little more calm this year. I for one, would like to see more political effort put forward to deal with the pandemic now that the election is over.

This is probably more relatable to Jon's "How ya doing?" thread. Although I'm with you on some things settling in 2021. I'm hopeful that we can return to some post-COVID normalcy by spring. I know sports seem to be "managing," but it would be nice to see kids get back to more in person classes, proms and graduations. Political matters, that's a different story. I'd see at least another five years of chaos (and probably more). I'll keep politics out of it, but the media (including Disney) bears much of the blame for our current condition.

Why is the sound of crickets chirping so relaxing? I found a Blue Bayou Ambiance Loop on Youtube to listen to while I'm here at work. Blue Bayou has always been my favorite Disney restaurant. When I was young, I would dream of eating there as we floated by on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. My parents couldn't afford to take us at the time. The bayou scene in the California version was always my favorite with the cricket sounds and the fireflies. I was a little disappointed when the Florida version didn't have it. *sigh* Why can't Disneyland be open?

I believe their parking lots are being used to stage COVID vaccinations. Hopefully by summer (June)!

Hopefully when they open, it is the real deal. Not a watered down version like WDW.
