Disneyland Awaits: Doing Proper Travel Planning

Now that we've got your wanderlust sparked, let's switch gears and dive into the world of Disneyland. Planning a Disneyland vacation can seem overwhelming with the plethora of options, but the inner Disneyland travel planner in you has got this covered.

Start by determining the perfect time for your visit. Remember, "off-peak" times often mean fewer crowds and shorter lines. Also, consider the various accommodation options available. You can choose to stay on-site for the full Disneyland experience or opt for nearby hotels for more economical options. Don't forget to make a list of the must-try rides, restaurants, and shows to ensure you don't miss anything.

Disneyland Travel Planner: Dining and Shopping

Dining and shopping are integral parts of any Disneyland vacation. As a Disneyland travel planner, scout out the best dining spots to suit your taste buds. Do you fancy a quick-service meal or a sit-down restaurant experience? Also, remember that dining reservations can be made 60 days in advance at Disneyland, so mark those calendars!

As for shopping, Disneyland is a haven for those looking for unique and fun souvenirs. Whether it's Mickey Mouse ear hats, Disneyland-themed clothing, or collectibles, you'll find plenty of items to bring home as mementos of your fantastic trip!

This is another great opportunity to put your travel planner skills to the test. Plan your days to enjoy a mix of nature, culture, and urban exploration.

Other Uncharted Territories: Exploring the Unusual

In addition to our standard passport-free options, other unique locations might tickle your fancy. Consider American Samoa, a U.S. territory in the South Pacific, known for its rugged landscapes, or the Northern Mariana Islands, with its striking cliffs and inviting beaches. These less-traveled destinations can add a unique twist to your travel stories!

Meanwhile, as your travel planner instincts kick in, consider adding unusual activities to your itinerary too. Try out the lesser-known rides or explore hidden gems like the "Penny Arcade" in Main Street, U.S.A., or the secret path in New Orleans Square.

that “you survived four years of trump” video that’s going around like idk what to tell you but many people did not. many people did not do this

[fulltransmetalgenderist]

lichrally not a single cis person in my life has checked in on me about the attack on trans people happening right now by the U.S. American government. The ones that I've tried broaching the topic with all have acted the same way: they look at me with a vaguely uncomfortable expression while I tell them about new legislation (god forbid they follow the news themselves), and then say "well let me know how i can help!"

Is there a more useless phrase in the English language ? like oh my god, use your brain, look at the situation unfolding around us, figure out what work needs to be done and just fucking do it. I need you to make my fight your fight. I don't need your fucking pity , I don't need to hear you're sorry , I need you to work, to fight, to mobilize. I don't need your help, I need accomplices. Figure out how to get me a hormone supply, figure out how to get me a passport, figure out how to correct my birth certificate. that's how you can fucking help. my god. cis people, don't wait around for a trans person to suggest some easy thing you can do to make yourself feel good about helping us poor backwards freaks. Fight for us. go out of your way. take a risk. stick your neck out.

y’know. the heralds maybe had a point. instead of entering a recursive cycle of suffering, just let one man be the bearer of all agonies. i want the cycle to end. if that means one person suffering for the sake of everyone.

US military to send additional 1,500 troops to border

It is illegal for them to detain anyone or help in detention. Some of this is optics, but there is a real slippery slope feel to it. Since SCOTUS abolished rule of law and laws no longer constrain the president, I don't like or trust this.

After all Hegseth has promised to purge any generals with ethics and they confirmed him with Vance breaking the tie. Generals with ethics were what constrained Trump from turning the military loose on peaceful protesters last time he tried to do it.

I was always against raids and the general shittiness of our immigration/CBP militarized system even before I heard the story I'm going to tell here. This has haunted my since the early '90's when a prof told it to me.

So she and her husband are Native Americans, with four tribes between them. The tribes were all Northern plains ones. I can't remember which of them was Lakota, but they were enrolled members of different tribes. As indigenous to the United States as it's possible to be.

So they get jobs teaching down in L.A. and one day, the husband is taking a bus home and the bus gets raided and he has no proof of citizenship on him just normal ID, so they are going to deport him to Mexico even though he speaks no Spanish and his Ancestors have been here since they walked over the land bridge.

She had to rush home and dig through the moving boxes, trying to find all his documentation and she manages to rescue him and bring him home. It was terrifying. They didn't know that they could be deported for looking native to the country in which they and their ancestors had always lived. They started looking for jobs in the North right away.

I've been thinking about it multiple times a day all year. I assumed it would start happening in large amounts as soon as the "mass deportation" sweeps started, that they'd try to deport Native Americans and natural born citizens. Likely even on purpose as they were saying that was what they were going to do since at least the election.

Trump's Tariffs: Who Bears the Burden?

  In today’s episode of “Lest We Forget Historical, host Lillian Cauldwell explores the impact of Trump’s tariffs and who will ultimately bear the cost—foreign countries or U.S. citizens. While the debate continues, Doug Irwin’s insights make it clear that “tariffs are rarely the best option.

Said post about Canada changing a cafe menu so that 'americano' is 'canadiano' with thousands of usamericans losing their minds about what a funny epic own it is is so embarrassing like 1. meaningless eighth-grader marketing gimmick on their part 2. meaningless eighth-grader self-deprecation on our part 3. Canadian politics and history are also bad

I live in India and I have family that live in the UK and they’ve all sent their kids to live with relatives abroad the remainder of the summer break bcs of the riots

Yeah my parents would do the same if I was a little kid and that was happening around me. I mean truly people shouldn’t be that alarmed. I feel comfortable traveling there and taking my family there (well as much as I did before). But some of our families have seen and fled from some pretty serious shit and are just not taking any chances.

An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop Elon Musk from stealing our personal information!

6,399 so far! Help us get to 10,000 signers!

I am writing to urge you to stop Elon Musk from stealing our personal information.

It appears Musk has hacked into millions of Americans’ personal information and now has access to their taxes, Social Security, student debt and financial aid filings. Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency was not created by Congress—it is operating with zero transparency and in clear violation of federal law.

This violation of our privacy is causing American families across the country to fear for our privacy, safety and dignity. If this goes unchecked, Musk could steal our private data to help in making cuts to vital government programs that our families depend on—and to make it easier to cut taxes for himself and other billionaires.

We must have guardrails to stop this unlawful invasion of privacy.

Congress and the Trump administration must stop Elon Musk from stealing Americans' tax and other private data.
