They all meet in Stephen's apartment in Irvine, California. They try to strategize a plan. Then Ariana Grande comes into Stephen's apartment once she hears about a revenge plan against Donald Trump. Stephen tells Ariana Grande he's always wanted her to be his girlfriend and maybe friends with benefits. Then Ariana slaps him and says, "How dare you! I'm a powerful, strong woman." Then they find Trump's location: Mar-A-Lago, Florida.</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSIgxKlJHvKz0_K7ORM593lAu8XjaRuCOxuhA52qION3dTqgBquw9mPi4nuROD__BFlqoZlGOcdzPfIzlIfO5lCus3qP0jj-nZTwAX_t5O1AxACC3Mndt-dAMkALfhAyqA_skFAy4lW-XD/s1200/Mar-A-Lago.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSIgxKlJHvKz0_K7ORM593lAu8XjaRuCOxuhA52qION3dTqgBquw9mPi4nuROD__BFlqoZlGOcdzPfIzlIfO5lCus3qP0jj-nZTwAX_t5O1AxACC3Mndt-dAMkALfhAyqA_skFAy4lW-XD/s320/Mar-A-Lago.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilzsDUEKNOhWylEEYGA_w9Df3qxS1kWxAWlPHmNeMEgBeNtP6RpLECzwlPWZQJKJYBbVtpaR6MeyBq5itu5JGjvY-yL6n59vrdYnXyughTFvUeMNOvLdD-i8USskFF-zNbkv-axulI75mg/s1102/t-trump-mar-a-lago-02.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1030" data-original-width="1102" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilzsDUEKNOhWylEEYGA_w9Df3qxS1kWxAWlPHmNeMEgBeNtP6RpLECzwlPWZQJKJYBbVtpaR6MeyBq5itu5JGjvY-yL6n59vrdYnXyughTFvUeMNOvLdD-i8USskFF-zNbkv-axulI75mg/s320/t-trump-mar-a-lago-02.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyG2A3anpNfJGCKRGI4MV54rgsyWcrMc0TjI9MKI6XkTTqTpWnFKni7PnIaa2itVpzH3Msb2peJ4tGmWEyw0HNA9Q4twi8KG3ynKpaRB8UV8i9PMPCePSYp3CpImz5-eWrQm4RENbtOnt5/s1080/IMG_2020-11-02_10-44-03.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyG2A3anpNfJGCKRGI4MV54rgsyWcrMc0TjI9MKI6XkTTqTpWnFKni7PnIaa2itVpzH3Msb2peJ4tGmWEyw0HNA9Q4twi8KG3ynKpaRB8UV8i9PMPCePSYp3CpImz5-eWrQm4RENbtOnt5/s320/IMG_2020-11-02_10-44-03.JPG" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"> Stephen, Sean, Richard, Genie, Jack, Rick O'Connell, and Ariana Grande team up to defeat Donald Trump. They crash his Mar-A-Lago house and they find him fat and rubbing his titties. They then attack him and hold him down. They wonder what happened to Mike Pence, Jafar and Imhotep. Mike Pence went to run for president in 2024, Imhotep went back to Egypt to be with Anck Su Namun, and Jafar was sent back to the Cave of Wonders after helping Donald Trump nuke the world. They question Trump about why he killed all their friends. He goes on about how much he hates minorities, wanted people to love him and wanted to be King of the United States. He particularly goes on about how he killed Aladdin, Jasmine, and The Sultan, and how he hates Agraba and Arabs. The Genie then beheads Trump. The group gives a disturbing look at the Genie, wondering why he did it. The Genie replies, "He killed my best friend. I never had a friend like Aladdin. I miss him very much....."</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;">5 Years Later.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"> Stephen, Richard, and Jack Sparrow still hang out at the Tustin Marketplace at Red Robin. Stephen likes his ice cream and mixed drinks, Richard loves drinking unlimited beers, and Jack Sparrow constantly has rum. They talk about their lives. Stephen now sees Ariana Grande as his friend with benefits, and she makes him happy. Jack Sparrow constantly drinks and talks about how he wants to steal a boat in Newport Harbor like he did in the Caribbean, and Richard talks about one day maybe being part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and joining The Avengers. Blue Genie has moved and created a new land called New Agraba, Sean is now married and has a son named Griffin, and Rick O'Connell moved to Montana to become a hunter, as he loves to shoot his gun. Stephen, Richard, and Jack talk about how they miss their friends and how Disney isn't the same since Mickey Mouse died. They seem pissed about life. Stephen posts on Facebook publicly how he wishes they could go back in time and stop Trump from declaring nuclear war and bring back all those who died. Then Jack goes on a drunk tirade about how he lost Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann and Mr. Gibbs, as well as the Black Pearl crew. They then get kicked out of Red Robin. Stephen looks at his phone and gets a weird message from Prince Dastan. He ignores it at first, but Dastan keeps messaging him. Dastan tells him, "I can travel back in time." He then agrees to meet Stephen, Richard, and Jack at the apartment.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"> Stephen, Richard, and Jack meet Prince Dastan. Prince Dastan tells him about his journey and about how he's able to go back in time with the Dagger that his Uncle Nazam was trying to steal from him. He mentions he's always wanted to go back in time and bring back Tamina, Tus, Garsiv, and his father, the King after Trump nuked them. Stephen says that takes lots of magic. Then Stephen gets a brilliant idea: stop Donald Trump from becoming president and have Bernie Sanders be the president. Go back to 2016, have Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton, then have Bernie battle Trump and they all expose Trump's plan. They realize they could use Ariana Grande, Sean, and Rick O'Connell to support them and use The Blue Genie's magic. Stephen, Richard, Jack, and Dastan all agree on the plan.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"> First stop: Stephen, Richard, Jack, and Dastan go to Ariana Grande's house. Stephen knocks on the door, and then she slaps him for only using her for being hot. He apologizes but says he loves looks more than personality. Stephen then tells Ariana the plan and asks her to join them since she's a Bernie Bro, or in this case a Bernie Sister, and maybe she can help motivate the Bernie Bros with her looks. She reluctantly agrees.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"> Then they go to Sean's place, where his wife Christina and son Griffin come out. Stephen approaches Sean with the plan. Sean and Stephen talk about the glory days, about how they worked together, and how much they loved Disneyworld, Aladdin, and Lord of the Rings. Stephen then convinces Sean to go back to have Bernie Sanders become president and bring back all the people who died in the nuke blast. Sean replies, "I moved on from being a hero. Now I have a son who I need to look after, so I can't die. Stephen gives him a buddy-buddy chat and says, "You will be there for your son. We can't do this without you."

He bought the ranch with all the money he got in Egypt. Stephen, Sean, Richard, Jack, Dastan and Ariana approach Rick with the idea of bringing Evelyn, Jonathan, and Ardeth Bay back from the dead. Rick laughs and tells Stephen, "It's impossible to go back in time and bring back everyone." Then Stephen introduces Rick to Prince Dastan, who explains how they're going to go back in time and reverse Trump's nuke blast. Stephen convinces Rick that they need him to shoot bad guys. Rick agrees and hugs the group.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"> Now, welcome to New Agraba, an island off the coast of Alaska. It's a land full of magical creatures and love. Unicorns roam the land, it's full of peace, no war, no enemies. Everyone gets along. Our heroes see a magical Giant who's the friendliest giant ever. They ask for the Blue Genie and are directed to the mansion. Wow! What a big mansion it is. A servant answers the door and welcomes the heroes, and the servant escorts them to the Blue Genie. The Blue Genie's room is surrounded by beer, hot dogs, pizza, and video games. The Blue Genie is extremely obese. He hugs everyone and is glad to see them all. Stephen then asks, "How nice would it be to bring back Aladdin and Jasmine from the nuke blast?" Blue Genie gets pissed and says, "How dare you bring up what happened with my friends and Trump?" Genie gets heated and almost explodes. Then Prince Dastan introduces himself to Genie and explains that, with his time-travel dagger and Genie's magic, they can stop Trump from becoming president and bring back Aladdin, Jasmine, Carpet and Sultan. Genie says he'd give anything for Aladdin and Jasmine to come back to life. The plan becomes: (1) Go back to the 2016 Democratic primary and boost support for Bernie Sanders; (2) Go to all the debates and have Bernie beat Trump in the general election; (3) Go home and reunite with everyone. Stephen, Sean, Richard, Jack Sparrow, Rick O'Connell, Ariana Grande and Dastan agree. They look at Blue Genie all drunk and sleepy and then go all in. Prince Dastan uses the dagger and the Genie uses his magic to bring the group from 2025 to the Democratic primary between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.</span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9TKuSh0IGHnPi__U4Nldd5dkVf_SQrKwbZ7jvgCx3_Vi3RD2xV4hbUSyJgbd8t8b66V5L1iB5Qr6IkOkTN2qQCsDgb7UVZ_XNZhb1vyHdqNPWhGBr9hLTE5XhoTGMBEQhDxC2diKEaS8H/s760/190301-bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-ew-411p_0cb052758ade264429fe17cf18debc97.fit-760w.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="536" data-original-width="760" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9TKuSh0IGHnPi__U4Nldd5dkVf_SQrKwbZ7jvgCx3_Vi3RD2xV4hbUSyJgbd8t8b66V5L1iB5Qr6IkOkTN2qQCsDgb7UVZ_XNZhb1vyHdqNPWhGBr9hLTE5XhoTGMBEQhDxC2diKEaS8H/s320/190301-bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-ew-411p_0cb052758ade264429fe17cf18debc97.fit-760w.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi47uqMs_jM3cXeEeSklyL7XaJBWcxqH8B2e-oNfA3voqW_TVXaFYhOgwUzKoeRgIBfVpnnbzMpnXXgCai0x9eqtuMt4yQvnLwTfjPZKVOSTUot3emDl7EuxpoQUPpbt3pQvZMw0gQkbqm/s792/bernie_sanders+and+Ariana+Grande.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="792" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi47uqMs_jM3cXeEeSklyL7XaJBWcxqH8B2e-oNfA3voqW_TVXaFYhOgwUzKoeRgIBfVpnnbzMpnXXgCai0x9eqtuMt4yQvnLwTfjPZKVOSTUot3emDl7EuxpoQUPpbt3pQvZMw0gQkbqm/s320/bernie_sanders+and+Ariana+Grande.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"> On Tuesday, March 8, 2016, the group travels to Michigan for the Democratic primary between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. The group acknowledges it's important not only to help Bernie Sanders beat Hillary, but also to make sure Bernie Sanders wins the presidency at all costs. Ariana is going to ask Bernie if she can go on tour with him so that she can attract supporters and start a March for Bernie. Now, during the debate, Hillary and Bernie talk about a $15 minimum wage and why Bernie believes people shouldn't be in poverty in America, barely getting by. Bernie Sanders also brings up against Hillary Clinton that she helped her Wall Street friends get richer. In another debate, they discuss the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Bernie debates how he's going to put in tough legislation so that the water becomes healthier in flint, as well as his belief that Governor Snyder should resign or be recalled. The biggest issue he discusses is the flight of jobs from Michigan, especially factory jobs, and the realization of the pain that people are going through. He says he will fight to bring their jobs back. Other issues discussed include whether gun manufactures should be charged with murder, how universities and colleges should be tuition-free, and necessary taxes on the wealthiest Americans. Bernie leaves Hillary speechless. Bernie Sanders loses Super Tuesday but wins the state of Michigan.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"> The group approaches Bernie Sanders in the green room, where he is shocked to see The Genie, Jack Sparrow, Ariana Grande, Rick O'Connell, and Prince Dastan. Bernie wonders what they are doing in his green room. Stephen, Sean, and Richard explain that they are from 2025 and that Hillary Clinton won the Democratic nomination and Donald Trump became president in 2016 by working with Putin. Then they explain that Donald Trump basically became a full dictator in 2020 and nuked the world and that they are the only remaining people who can help Bernie Sanders win the presidency. Ariana, Jack Sparrow, Genie, Rick, and Dastan all agree to do promotion to help with Bernie's campaign since they're all famous, and Stephen, Sean, and Richard can promote and campaign as well. Bernie is unsure whether to believe them, but then Stephen points out that Trump is the most dangerous president of our time. Bernie then agrees, saying he would rather believe in the nonsense being presented to him than make the huge mistake of not.</span></div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2UkaIYKhgsuQdPvGmgRVcP32fIudFOOsa2uqsGgFdRwpP-p3kOYgqNs26OXD5Q55bYdq8Kb97sbRpzd8PXKGy97ObX1CL1aGc87smaJ5yZ2N35KVOLJSooG4G6kYz1_kxY0rRahEK1KOW/s640/zombomeme07112020221331.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2UkaIYKhgsuQdPvGmgRVcP32fIudFOOsa2uqsGgFdRwpP-p3kOYgqNs26OXD5Q55bYdq8Kb97sbRpzd8PXKGy97ObX1CL1aGc87smaJ5yZ2N35KVOLJSooG4G6kYz1_kxY0rRahEK1KOW/s320/zombomeme07112020221331.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyb16IZTD_OJ20RhTg7V1C2-tEF6rVjzbX-GUfyyEVQdH_khgw27F80xRFPhTA8ikpZXw9-31gmt8C5RZSF1B-qRoS7PBDduLnSWTkW5NlUSzfNR7QvBaFyr7g-AZJMi10z8l1yu-_BTHI/s1080/IMG_2020-11-07_22-17-17.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyb16IZTD_OJ20RhTg7V1C2-tEF6rVjzbX-GUfyyEVQdH_khgw27F80xRFPhTA8ikpZXw9-31gmt8C5RZSF1B-qRoS7PBDduLnSWTkW5NlUSzfNR7QvBaFyr7g-AZJMi10z8l1yu-_BTHI/s320/IMG_2020-11-07_22-17-17.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"> To have Bernie Sanders advance to the Democratic nomination for president, campaign videos and promotions need to be made. Stephen, Richard, and Sean work on raising money and awareness for Bernie's policies in order to get him elected. Genie, Jack Sparrow, Rick O'Connell, Dastan, and Ariana Grande make promotional videos, using their celebrity status to influence the American citizens to vote for Bernie. The group all look at the news, and CNN projects that Bernie Sanders is catching up to Hillary Clinton and that with a few more states he can win the Democratic nomination. A good idea that the crew thinks of would be to campaign in the states of Montana and North Dakota, as they are extremely red states where borderline Democrats could be convinced to get on board with Bernie. The group is able to convince the citizens of Montana and North Dakota to vote for Bernie. Unfortunately, though, Hillary Clinton secures the nomination. Everyone is extremely sad, but then Stephen brings up the point that Putin is not only helping Trump win, but is colluding with the Democratic National Convention for Hillary to get the nomination and to get access to the emails.</span></span></div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFL9SXUnz9SlblgAoPimZZZIeai44AkQYt1pwm_RoRhtHfO89RHd-xrKc07Gykub9sHdoOeIUsIkcSmvQps0_fdluw5bsqP-Eqn6KgaypgoKdcDvqQCatWaxaIHPCxH-Hwcjzy1Gxh5E43/s220/DNC_2016_-_Nancy_Pelosi.jpeg.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="165" data-original-width="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFL9SXUnz9SlblgAoPimZZZIeai44AkQYt1pwm_RoRhtHfO89RHd-xrKc07Gykub9sHdoOeIUsIkcSmvQps0_fdluw5bsqP-Eqn6KgaypgoKdcDvqQCatWaxaIHPCxH-Hwcjzy1Gxh5E43/s0/DNC_2016_-_Nancy_Pelosi.jpeg.jpeg" /></a></div> </div><div> <span style="font-family: times;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;">Our heroes and Bernie go to Philadelphia for the Democratic National Convention.

Trump cries to Putin about how he's in trouble even with Republicans for his Access Hollywood tape in 2005, in which he proclaims, "When you're a star, you can grab women by the pussy." Putin then tells Trump not to worry about it, but he's going to unleash dirt on Bernie Sanders about him being a socialist and how he's going to turn America into Venezuela. Putin tells Trump not to worry and that he's pulling out all the stops to steal the election.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;">Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz host the second presidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis. Anderson brings up the leaked 2005 Access Hollywood tape, saying, "You called what you said locker-room banter. You described kissing women without their consent and touching their genitals -- that was sexual assault. You bragged about sexually assaulting women. Do you understand that?" Trump responds, "No, I didn't say that. I didn't say that at all. This is locker-room talk. I'm not proud of it, I apologize for my family. I apologize to the American people. Certainly, I'm not proud of it, but this is locker-room talk. Yes, I'm very embarrassed by it, I hate it, but it's locker-room talk, it's one of those things. I will knock the hell out of ISIS, we're going to defeat ISIS." Bernie Sanders laughs at Trump and says, "Well, Trump, then how do you explain all the sexual assault allegations? I mean, it's not a coincidence that you have all these women who have sexual assault allegations against you. It pisses me off that you think you can get away with everything while these kids who sext have to register as sex offenders. Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself running for president." Then Trump badmouths Bernie Sanders for being a Democratic socialist and running up the deficit. Then Bernie brings up how Trump uses taxpayer money for bailouts of his own company. Trump then says that the majority of America does not want to go along with Bernie Sanders's socialist agenda, since Americans love their freedom. Bernie Sanders then laughs at Trump, saying, "Oh, who doesn't want the right to control their own lives? Who doesn't want to have a living wage? Who doesn't want to be able to afford to live? Who doesn't agree taxes should be high on billionaires?" The hosts thank Trump and Sanders for their debate performances as they all shake hands.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"> The group then congratulate Bernie Sanders on his debate performance. The group once again film commercials and campaigns for Bernie Sanders.

Trump refuses to concede the election and talks to Putin about how their plans to steal the election haven't been as successful as they would've hoped. Then Trump claims he smells something suspicious and realizes Bernie Sanders got help to become president, and Trump vows revenge. Bernie Sanders thanks the group for helping him win the presidency. Then Genie and Prince Dastan transport the group back to 2025 as they say goodbye to Bernie Sanders.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><div> Stephen, Sean, Richard, Genie, Ariana, Rick, Jack and Dastan go back to 2025 and wonder if everyone came back.

The pictures are from 2021-2025, so the crew cheers that their mission is accomplished. Then Stephen turns on the news and the ABC 7 News talks about how President Donald Trump is coming to Irvine for a revenge mission of some sort. Stephen wonders, "Wait, is Trump coming for us?

They blow up Stephen's apartment. Trump then seeks revenge. Trump explains to the group that after losing to Berne Sanders, he went into the Cave of Wonders and saw in his future that he becomes president, declared and caused a nuclear war, and then was murdered in Mar A-Lago by the Genie. He then ordered Jafar to reverse the election results, stripping Bernie Sanders of the win and stealing the election for Trump instead. Then he decided that since his presidency is almost over after serving eight years, his last action as president is to declare a war on those who stopped him from becoming president. So, all the Nazis and MAGA supporters use their weapons against the group. The Genie becomes a shield against the bullets and violence, then battles Jafar and Imhotep. Ariana uses her power as a strong and powerful woman. Jack Sparrow and Rick O'Connell pose for a photo opp by pointing their guns out at the MAGA supporters and Nazis. Jack and Rick use their own weapons against the enemies as the Blue Genie continues to use a shield against the Nazis and MAGA supporters. The Genie is starting to feel weaker as his ass is being kicked by Jafar and Imhotep. Rick and Jack keep shooting but realize their old weapons are nowhere near as powerful as the machine guns the MAGA supporters have. Genie, Ariana, Jack, and Rick feel weak after supporting each other. Trump calls Ariana "sugar tits with a young ass" and it reminds him of how he wants to fuck Ivanka. Ariana, getting really mad, throws Trump on the ground, but then Imhotep blows her away with sand. Jack Sparrow says that the group is fucked since Trump has organized a powerful military and they are outgunned and outnumbered. Then he says he wishes Will Turner was there to come to his rescue. Then Jack hears Will Turner's voice hearing Jack. Then Jack goes, "Wow! It's like I heard the voice of my best friend."

While taking a break from my zaney story about saving the world from Trump before Part II, let's talk about the first REAL vacation that I've taken since the Covid-19 pandemic happened. I very recently went to New Orleans and Atlanta, and let me tell you, it was a very different time but very doable trip during Covid-19. I went through crowded airplanes, bus rides, and even a few museums. There were times when I felt questionable about safety, but I did everything I could to keep myself safe, such as social distancing and wearing my mask — both extremely inconvenient, but I guess necessary at this time. I hope we don't have to do this forever, or even more than six more months. So, let's talk about the journey of my first real trip during Covid-19.</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9hZAhrUuWaqq4gHbs6T0YK4vziPihe8NutuSwUhkjRLKfDCa5sBYoDU_7MV1sBHtF12d6m-NcU_ja6F94pDPjvTbvxqYpk_OAgMqs4BVvlrzuXMQ7wynS9uwdoBxHSRZZVlaBp7TjU9h-/s960/New+Orelans+1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9hZAhrUuWaqq4gHbs6T0YK4vziPihe8NutuSwUhkjRLKfDCa5sBYoDU_7MV1sBHtF12d6m-NcU_ja6F94pDPjvTbvxqYpk_OAgMqs4BVvlrzuXMQ7wynS9uwdoBxHSRZZVlaBp7TjU9h-/s320/New+Orelans+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilkI0LsjGAsc_2uAiYeRa8fJwtEszb9n9OzrDBQe2qKLLGzCryIpHUl8ePkv12tgEw2JPsfP6xsedaTWZB7xi5pD5cInaaGrxHwIvyygqUQUyYfvQty14-p13TGFnOW-ylmtwX4rq7CV_n/s960/New+Orelans+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilkI0LsjGAsc_2uAiYeRa8fJwtEszb9n9OzrDBQe2qKLLGzCryIpHUl8ePkv12tgEw2JPsfP6xsedaTWZB7xi5pD5cInaaGrxHwIvyygqUQUyYfvQty14-p13TGFnOW-ylmtwX4rq7CV_n/s320/New+Orelans+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbwfJ__zKwuGfjWZqeGGV-7SQeFcJHoOebBNId12kp6kMxY15Hcu-tyaY-OaUV0u3HdZ8Dn5YK6QML0463AqlpllY_Y7mo9ek8nIsaDAaMSA6EQIMb9q6q4WpmeoR6Qa4nAJT10JOy_XTm/s960/New+Orelans+3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbwfJ__zKwuGfjWZqeGGV-7SQeFcJHoOebBNId12kp6kMxY15Hcu-tyaY-OaUV0u3HdZ8Dn5YK6QML0463AqlpllY_Y7mo9ek8nIsaDAaMSA6EQIMb9q6q4WpmeoR6Qa4nAJT10JOy_XTm/s320/New+Orelans+3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIggm-ieuxyhj8Bj7YiNYCCbembHc3TBKchFPvS_3il-BXwNuMHSHAlP7rZK4wtB6aAU8_wOryJm892itPlR0TwSDnj11TxAuUg_t6Mh44yt7_54IgBtAhjk-IJi4fFpQ02_dHVVvlVlIG/s960/122306967_10221220849244151_3900382202109591949_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIggm-ieuxyhj8Bj7YiNYCCbembHc3TBKchFPvS_3il-BXwNuMHSHAlP7rZK4wtB6aAU8_wOryJm892itPlR0TwSDnj11TxAuUg_t6Mh44yt7_54IgBtAhjk-IJi4fFpQ02_dHVVvlVlIG/s320/122306967_10221220849244151_3900382202109591949_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-family: times;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;">Fortunately a good amount of museums were open. Some of the museums I went to were the World War II Museum, Ogden Museum of Art, and the highlight, Mardi Gras World. The World War II Museum is a great museum for those who love history, particularly World War II. There are a lot of artifacts one can see at this museum. The museum takes us back in time, particularly with the opening train exhibit. We get to learn about all the history and events of how the Japanese and Russians joined forces with the Nazis. We get to see replicas of what it was like to fight in battle. A small museum right nearby is the Ogden Museum of Art, and it has some nice art that one can visually take in. It has four different levels with all different art. It's worth checking out as something to do.</span></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"> Without a doubt, the best part of New Orleans was Mardi Gras World. The museum displays the making of the Mardi Gras festival and what it takes for the event to happen. The opening of the museum features floats from previous Mardi Gras. After one buys their tickets, one would watch a video about what goes into making Mardi Gras the party of the year. Then we get a tour of more floats from previous Mardi Gras. The museum made me one day want to check out Mardi Gras because of all the fun the festival is. Mardi Gras, as well as other museums I didn't see this time around, give me a reason to return to New Orleans.</span></div><p><span><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzJ2nURmBCO1nB-zxlbm-eU3Cf9mvSuvX0-JF1GeJYyVYr0603H6kwwyPM5WqDybYJkKhRhQpBfxaTdCik68HNjLEDPBF4-cruL0LUKDmpcBpzYO42zp3qt0EiijYWhHBFWPRh1nYsd18h/s960/122137388_10221220880404930_1106257396664538799_n+-+Copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzJ2nURmBCO1nB-zxlbm-eU3Cf9mvSuvX0-JF1GeJYyVYr0603H6kwwyPM5WqDybYJkKhRhQpBfxaTdCik68HNjLEDPBF4-cruL0LUKDmpcBpzYO42zp3qt0EiijYWhHBFWPRh1nYsd18h/s320/122137388_10221220880404930_1106257396664538799_n+-+Copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUkLkjOuM8I31iaU_J-U5Mh-PUmufljbv-b4lt9H5rZYzzdW-FUL00wl6p8OHkgJ1xL1fz-tIufnEVP9xbrUHNM6C0dcKGXGFzIST_18cdQjZtjbtd4-bomtPnDZUpYZJix24TPWPglSRl/s960/122348218_10221220884245026_7768675172423975017_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUkLkjOuM8I31iaU_J-U5Mh-PUmufljbv-b4lt9H5rZYzzdW-FUL00wl6p8OHkgJ1xL1fz-tIufnEVP9xbrUHNM6C0dcKGXGFzIST_18cdQjZtjbtd4-bomtPnDZUpYZJix24TPWPglSRl/s320/122348218_10221220884245026_7768675172423975017_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEkjVjR3TDu0uaAjLJO7IsocDdqC_qLIRILj7HDIwiMF1fL9BwOGAQ9dGUvjTUIuJBc3_Wpu9a_c4C_FiFZd9STTqrc-flDwLxQwho6lQhUYacHs6Mcmiv0_UKtf56AdJ2pJ3qnvjrXw8c/s960/122369679_10221220916045821_8197764764363894253_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEkjVjR3TDu0uaAjLJO7IsocDdqC_qLIRILj7HDIwiMF1fL9BwOGAQ9dGUvjTUIuJBc3_Wpu9a_c4C_FiFZd9STTqrc-flDwLxQwho6lQhUYacHs6Mcmiv0_UKtf56AdJ2pJ3qnvjrXw8c/s320/122369679_10221220916045821_8197764764363894253_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiRebwkop9OnT6cMxAOPfrCCyPPdQqhYbomDaFMhvvowWF5BzWjZmvMwpWDxo7rNFf_XJ_rGGvjwarvmfZa1_7lFSPQDVutJCO3dRhIGcdGBOXc_Z47N6pNMhhWEDTSCTyBPidPJ-KGB3v/s960/122044529_10221220934006270_3052778747485297546_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiRebwkop9OnT6cMxAOPfrCCyPPdQqhYbomDaFMhvvowWF5BzWjZmvMwpWDxo7rNFf_XJ_rGGvjwarvmfZa1_7lFSPQDVutJCO3dRhIGcdGBOXc_Z47N6pNMhhWEDTSCTyBPidPJ-KGB3v/s320/122044529_10221220934006270_3052778747485297546_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"> I'd like to talk about what else there is to check out in New Orleans. Jackson Square has some good museums to check out, such as The Cabildo and The Presbytere. The Cabildo has some history from the Civil War and the history of New Orleans. The Presbytere is a great history museum of life in New Orleans, including elements of Mardi Gras and the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe. The first floor discusses how Hurricane Katrina affected New Orleans, from days before to months later. It makes me grateful that I didn't endure Hurricane Katrina. The second floor features props from Mardi Gras, such as costumes and what else goes into the celebrations. Since I am a fan of going to zoos, one should check out the Audubon Zoo. The zoo has different types of animals, such as African and Asian animals like lions, elephants, and tigers. There also is a swamp-like area with birds and swampy waters in the zoo. Something else to check out would be Bourbon Street in the French Quarter, which is a very lively environment even during Covid-19. People were having drinks, partying, and playing music.</span></span><br /><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxLdCK_0fPDtTf-92Gh6Y3wg2Tyql9VOlE4k7zRj8BmN_vGvNTr2CkewSiPaKzuP-dP8TFfWaHBGtLgql7FA6SaLSGVpSzQCBf7EfgtjgxQJzhJvij7zgSYNhc6bGlySg-n_4EMNMw3cNZ/s708/New-Orleans-Sightseeing-Pass.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="509" data-original-width="708" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxLdCK_0fPDtTf-92Gh6Y3wg2Tyql9VOlE4k7zRj8BmN_vGvNTr2CkewSiPaKzuP-dP8TFfWaHBGtLgql7FA6SaLSGVpSzQCBf7EfgtjgxQJzhJvij7zgSYNhc6bGlySg-n_4EMNMw3cNZ/s320/New-Orleans-Sightseeing-Pass.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div><div> As most of you know, I like to go to museums and look for a bundle that includes activities to save money.

I would recommend that you get it if you go to New Orleans.</div><div><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /></div></div><div><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6QYWbGPtiHsZ3Dnf5V1Y0R7HLwt3BDJsYNyzz6CNBvjq7Df3vQJmrz0KtkDHWk6sQSAlDaJ4VCauzEy0Bz9oMPIjFLZw0rM_R14p8fe1-SMJ-3KZzNngq9QNQ3fiEFAxUnOBBNY1-spFz/s960/122268846_10221220935046296_7315680980405678462_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6QYWbGPtiHsZ3Dnf5V1Y0R7HLwt3BDJsYNyzz6CNBvjq7Df3vQJmrz0KtkDHWk6sQSAlDaJ4VCauzEy0Bz9oMPIjFLZw0rM_R14p8fe1-SMJ-3KZzNngq9QNQ3fiEFAxUnOBBNY1-spFz/s320/122268846_10221220935046296_7315680980405678462_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbeJ5j3gM94hpQYuLFxVgc1Up0CLMHucpmrGGpM5rH7Y1qWgnqaKAC984EXbhPK25_-WXgcgiHcBQr_0zZJ1-u_l3hLLePi4sMN56N91WvYFPSgoB03yIratQ7WfYQ2U7jhJ7HBMZ4NUv6/s960/122310815_10221221057289352_782231613362105411_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbeJ5j3gM94hpQYuLFxVgc1Up0CLMHucpmrGGpM5rH7Y1qWgnqaKAC984EXbhPK25_-WXgcgiHcBQr_0zZJ1-u_l3hLLePi4sMN56N91WvYFPSgoB03yIratQ7WfYQ2U7jhJ7HBMZ4NUv6/s320/122310815_10221221057289352_782231613362105411_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2yiheBeUoTpF8Z-Si-D2OFKmA9myKgKGh-y22si1NeHWb6tQvKQuGohlTV87MUJlUnF7_eF1PtbjuigErRyE8YX7gAI9-d_sLR76SIyCZ4eexELWrRk5D65GruVtNHRJNZRaMkIE-hI3j/s960/122229224_10221221065849566_7477565885053843684_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2yiheBeUoTpF8Z-Si-D2OFKmA9myKgKGh-y22si1NeHWb6tQvKQuGohlTV87MUJlUnF7_eF1PtbjuigErRyE8YX7gAI9-d_sLR76SIyCZ4eexELWrRk5D65GruVtNHRJNZRaMkIE-hI3j/s320/122229224_10221221065849566_7477565885053843684_n.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div> Now for when I went to Atlanta. I checked out some museums, such as The World of Coca-Cola, which is great if one is interested in the history of Coca-Cola. The High Museum of Art is a good art museum with all different types of art. The Center for Puppetry Arts is another museum one would want to check out, especially for those who are into puppets, The Muppets, or Sesame Street.</div><div><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitK_BW3lBI2Njyj9bsSbdNd0dHXBK_oe6rITXFC_VvhGZE5x53NWQXa2K3cQQFrULFFkCELvnGqYiNMMwaizzVwoFYIrBSNXXnPwiPODZ09wOtsCOyTWdVfkqG6htdw4mwb-fSufkZ_ifF/s1024/atl-citypass-ticket-1024x480.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitK_BW3lBI2Njyj9bsSbdNd0dHXBK_oe6rITXFC_VvhGZE5x53NWQXa2K3cQQFrULFFkCELvnGqYiNMMwaizzVwoFYIrBSNXXnPwiPODZ09wOtsCOyTWdVfkqG6htdw4mwb-fSufkZ_ifF/s320/atl-citypass-ticket-1024x480.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span style="font-family: times;"> For those who want to do a bunch of activities, one should look into the Atlanta Citypass. Some of the activities included are The World of Coca-Cola, Georgia Aquarium, The Fernbanks Museum of Natural History, National Center for Civil and Human Rights, College Football Hall of Fame, and Atlanta Zoo. The CNN Tour is included but closed due to Covid restrictions and was damaged in the George Floyd protest. Atlanta had a lot of Biden/Harris and BLM signs in front of people's houses.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"> Since we're on the subject of traveling during Covid, let's talk about some of the procedures that happened in New Orleans and Atlanta. The mask-wearing is universal. New Orleans made us input our information for contact tracing. Also, one needs either a reservation or to check the attendance at the place they're going to see if they can get in at the time they want. A lot of museums and restaurants check your temperature. Fortunately, at this time there's no Covid test or quarantine required. Hopefully a vaccine will be available soon and will suffice as a way to travel again.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: times;"> Overall, New Orleans/Atlanta was a nice return to travel. Let me be honest and say that as much as Covid was an issue, a bigger issue that happened to me was when I went to South Carolina during Hurricane Irma. I felt that New Orleans was a nice and quaint city, but very small. I wasn't a big Atlanta fan and felt that it was like Downtown Los Angeles when I was a kid before it expanded. I hope to do more travels, but join me next time when I finish the story of my movie friends and me saving the world from Donald Trump in Stephen Saves the World Part II.</span></div><span><br /></span><p></p></div></div>Stephen Gaiber The Autistic Travelerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14311923261077652336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3358099260737769452.post-3595776517509028542020-10-22T10:44:00.004-07:002020-12-09T18:37:04.260-08:00Stephen Gaiber Saves The World Part I<p><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-size: 13px;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-size: 13px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUNcnfrhm0LZUfC-tEIUu0eOO3KJ4BymBYijx-UungefFPuLxpuu34KEL-cuwYvmheV8Cwkrqv5aDL8C423KXf0t_oI6xtNkR2z6E7jFVI27G2CLwDmLC_hX3tQbG_JfQwmdSZB9Ad9BVa/s900/Copy+of+Rugby+Live+Screening+Poster+Template+-+Made+with+PosterMyWall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="695" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUNcnfrhm0LZUfC-tEIUu0eOO3KJ4BymBYijx-UungefFPuLxpuu34KEL-cuwYvmheV8Cwkrqv5aDL8C423KXf0t_oI6xtNkR2z6E7jFVI27G2CLwDmLC_hX3tQbG_JfQwmdSZB9Ad9BVa/s320/Copy+of+Rugby+Live+Screening+Poster+Template+-+Made+with+PosterMyWall.jpg" /></a></span></div><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-size: 13px;"><br /> </span><p></p><p><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></p><p><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-size: 13px;"> Greetings ladies and gentlemen.

Donald Trump and Mike Pence hate Arabs and plan to bomb Agrabah. His plan is to have the Sultan under his control with the help of Jafar using his snake staff. The Genie, Aladdin, and Princess Jasmine try to stop Trump by taking Jafar's snake staff, but Jafar uses the snake staff to put Aladdin, Genie, and Jasmine in a cave. Donald Trump admits his plan is to use the Sultan to cause chaos in Agrabah for his plan to nuke the world and to have the Sultan embarrass the nation of Agrabah.

We first meet Mickey Mouse, who has the power to throw fireworks out of his hands, then Goofy and Max, who are coming back from the powerline concert and sing to me 'Nobody Else But You.' Then we go to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, where we meet Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swan, and the crew of the Black Pearl. When we look for a code that would lead us to the nuclear codes, Trump and Jafar arrive with Captain Barbosa, who betrays Jack Sparrow's trust after forming an alliance with Jack Sparrow. Just as Jafar puts a magic spell on all of us, Maui and Moana appear and knock Jafar and Trump down, and Maui transforms into a hawk and steals Jafar's snake staff. Using powers that he got from Jafar, Trump transforms into a super god, but Genie is able to knock him down. After we thank Maui for saving the day, he sings the amazing 'You're Welcome.' I think that song should have won an Academy Award and was the only good part of Moana. We then find a clue that the next nuclear code is in the center of the earth.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"> In the journey to the center of the earth lie the Looney Tunes and Michael Jordan, after defeating the Monstars to escape from slavery.

Then all of us enter to save the Looney Tunes. That's when we find our next clue: Middle Earth.</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwqmYFR3z9MC1NJ-IZP3bQE30gqFa5voFXTG1ifLcE_xU2pw0s7Y5UDCrHwB3Mh40IqKnlPq9qvhoI-ZkkS0yBUcWSCULgQIyJ5eC8WodmlVUHmarlLEAwchfJ048MWElAiWBDeTFu9LGN/s800/Ringstrilogyposter.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwqmYFR3z9MC1NJ-IZP3bQE30gqFa5voFXTG1ifLcE_xU2pw0s7Y5UDCrHwB3Mh40IqKnlPq9qvhoI-ZkkS0yBUcWSCULgQIyJ5eC8WodmlVUHmarlLEAwchfJ048MWElAiWBDeTFu9LGN/s320/Ringstrilogyposter.jpg" width="320" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZpILQPFm2-yqHi_8GHiXLnyusB1N0OtglEilWWRaqn-yOU8qv6dIBLg62vxo201cl9c0ADMPsWMGwi1PKUOroMAhnxwHY1mCwtJ8lQ9wluMj7Pjswn5KZOsatXFHIA03gMtMBkeI1dhz_/s2000/e47af799b3af3edc72bd86f17ce221ea.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1658" data-original-width="2000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZpILQPFm2-yqHi_8GHiXLnyusB1N0OtglEilWWRaqn-yOU8qv6dIBLg62vxo201cl9c0ADMPsWMGwi1PKUOroMAhnxwHY1mCwtJ8lQ9wluMj7Pjswn5KZOsatXFHIA03gMtMBkeI1dhz_/s320/e47af799b3af3edc72bd86f17ce221ea.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /></div><div><br /></div><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-size: 13px;"> In the epic quest to search for the missing nuclear codes to stop Donald Trump from nuking the world, we find our heroes from Middle Earth, including Frodo, Gandalf, Samwise, Aragon, Legalous, Arwin, Mary, Pipin, and the habitants of Middle Earth. They come home from Middle Earth 17 years after Frodo destroyed the ring of Mordor. Then we all approach Frodo and the gang to inform them that they're harboring nuclear codes for Donald Trump. They laugh, not believing us, and explain that they saved Earth from the one ring. Then Donald Trump sends military helicopters and grade-A military weapons. The residents of Middle Earth prepare for battle as the copters shoot them on sight. Fortunately, the weapons aren't as strong as how fast the horses of Middle Earth are. Then Gandalf uses his magic staff to blast the helicopters, and the eagles come in and save the day by knocking out Trump and his helicopters. That's when we discover that the next clue is in Egypt, near The Mummy's tomb.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigH7mKEHrx0id4U6Y6yMD_JpFpuMTsVJ7deTsYLRFhnUtC7SVx3xm8PC4wQer73Fd1UG3JF-mmTvq5HIe95IrAG5xDa4yFsiHvy4LHgSk5vw7yXHBU3aheSiZxww21PtPglhSzNn-pQANx/s750/Imhotep.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="323" data-original-width="750" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigH7mKEHrx0id4U6Y6yMD_JpFpuMTsVJ7deTsYLRFhnUtC7SVx3xm8PC4wQer73Fd1UG3JF-mmTvq5HIe95IrAG5xDa4yFsiHvy4LHgSk5vw7yXHBU3aheSiZxww21PtPglhSzNn-pQANx/s320/Imhotep.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb1S_yuNZljw9W5ancd-sk7q4chDYdpKm-NJksVR-REJmlgIz5xgDI430f73EbRVt-roLOquPzB0vcGy0evQ2KUIQvkZoaOc8qeAdMZrDLtRhodJEoz9MgRrL6pCidN39Wb51FWAy-8dZb/s256/Sand+Imhotep.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="192" data-original-width="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb1S_yuNZljw9W5ancd-sk7q4chDYdpKm-NJksVR-REJmlgIz5xgDI430f73EbRVt-roLOquPzB0vcGy0evQ2KUIQvkZoaOc8qeAdMZrDLtRhodJEoz9MgRrL6pCidN39Wb51FWAy-8dZb/s0/Sand+Imhotep.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbFW0YvC_jCP5nih3NJ1YAtkbIx60dVHw7dMoqmJBqEyc_2pHRhQ4bHetz-9GBg-aHBXyNB08nhc9ruPFP9FD5VOSIA5z8OXl0z9GPsQz1oOowHlh_NmHRHByUF75umoazlRuXAIfKX9Zy/s700/webANXMummyReturns.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="422" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbFW0YvC_jCP5nih3NJ1YAtkbIx60dVHw7dMoqmJBqEyc_2pHRhQ4bHetz-9GBg-aHBXyNB08nhc9ruPFP9FD5VOSIA5z8OXl0z9GPsQz1oOowHlh_NmHRHByUF75umoazlRuXAIfKX9Zy/s320/webANXMummyReturns.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"> In ancient Egypt, Imhotep plots his revenge against Rick and Evelyn O'Connell and Jonathan Carnahan for killing his relationship with Anck Su Namun.

We join forces with Will "Genie" Smith and Aladdin and Jasmine (2019) to find the final nuclear code to stop Trump from world domination. Once 1992 Aladdin and Jasmine meet 2019 Aladdin and Jasmine, they sing their versions of 'A Whole New World' and the Genies sing their version of 'Friend Like Me.' We then continue to ask Aladdin and Jasmine for the final nuclear code. They tell us it's under the palace, deep in the dungeon. Trump uses Imhotep to create an army of Mummies to conquer Disneyworld, Middle Earth, Space Jam Land, and Egypt to battle the heroes as Trump sends nuclear missiles to destroy the world. Once we find the nuclear code, Trump, Pence, and Jafar already beat us to the nuclear codes. All the heroes in the lands continue to be outnumbered by Imhotep's army, but they use their forces to defeat whatever the army does. Then, as Trump is about to unleash nuclear war, Robin "Genie" Williams pushes Trump and does a whole bunch of Robin Williams impersonations so he can stop Trump from declaring nuclear war. Genie almost has Trump in a corner by crumbling him, but as Trump can't breathe from being obese, he presses the nuclear button, destroying Agrabah (1992), Aladdin and Jasmine, the Space Jam world, Disneyworld, Egypt, and Middle Earth. Every person blows up into skeletons.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"> Trump then leaves with Imhotep, Jafar, and Pence.

Is it all over and Trump won?

It's Stephen Gaiber: The Autistic Traveler. I know I am late to this, but I would like to talk about a pleasant surprise I gifted myself for my birthday. I went to Scottsdale, Arizona, in May.</span><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span face=""><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span face=""> I took this trip because my original plans to go to Las Vegas, as well as life in Southern California generally, were shut down. Even today, those places are open minimally. Arizona had just opened up on May 14, allowing me to have a little relief during quarantine. My birthday is May 28. I decided to escape reality and take the Greyhound to Scottsdale. I stayed at the 3 Palms Hotel in Scottsdale and hung in the pool and jacuzzi most of the time.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span face=""><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span face=""> Some of the activities I did in Scottsdale included hanging in the pool/jacuzzi throughout the day, dining inside at places like Denny's, walking around the city of Scottsdale, going to the mall, and being happy to be out of California. Before things kind of reopened in California and Arizona with limited activities, I was going to make a point of going to Arizona monthly since I have the money to do it. Even with Scottsdale being open, it had lots of limitations due to Covid. Some of the limitations included bowling-alley hours being limited or closed, restaurants limiting tables and giving ketchup packets instead of bottles, and more. I know it's a health crisis and we're in a pandemic, but some of the restrictions feel unnecessary. It's hard to have your life on hold.</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWGTnTI77gIzQgvU2RjxNH5qiQkET4-VK1V-agPg1LdouI0ywg8XjG-aMXdv_fR-K4tbvGnxIi-m4KOIeErCeSy01O6v_txc9tKcodgat-9MaKBZ7Tod-6lzzHRYUheCHiqEvoun-9s4Ws/s4096/IMG_20200527_151939990_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

It feels like an old western town, the complete opposite of Phoenix. Scottsdale feels like a smaller town, while Phoenix is a big metropolis. Scottsdale Road, the major artery, goes on for miles and miles, even away from downtown. Some of the activities I did included exploring old town and going to the mall. The town is very small, but visually delightful.</span></div><div><span face=""><br /></span></div><div><span face=""> On my birthday I went to the Tempe Marketplace, where I went to Red Robin. I had a burger and alcoholic ice-cream drink. What a fun way to celebrate my birthday. I also met with one of my ex-co-workers, who moved to Scottsdale, and we went out for pizza. I also spent the day in the pool and jacuzzi. One of the downsides about the pool and jacuzzi area is a lot of times it was surrounded by bratty kids who were all over the place.</span></div><div><span face=""><br /></span></div><div><span face=""> Overall I had a good time on my getaway. It was closer to a birthday celebration than a getaway. The highlight was getting out of town somewhat locally and somewhere more normal than home. When I was on the bus coming home, I was so mad about having to go back to boring reality. I look forward to posting more blogs, and next time don't expect a travel blog but a zany wacky story.</span></div></div></div></div></div><div class="jb_0 X_6MGW N_6Fd5" style="padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 24px; padding-right: 16px;"></div></div><div class="H_7jIs D_F ab_C Q_69H5 E_36RhU" data-test-id="toolbar-hover-area" style="-webkit-box-align: center; align-items: center; background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: flex; font-family: yahoosans, "helvetica neue", "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, "lucida grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px; height: 64px; margin-left: -8px; margin-right: -20px;"><div class="D_F W_6D6F r_BN gl_C" data-test-id="card-toolbar" style="-webkit-box-pack: center; cursor: default; display: flex; justify-content: center; width: 822px;"></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><p></p>Stephen Gaiber The Autistic Travelerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14311923261077652336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3358099260737769452.post-54698070556469458292020-05-17T11:32:00.000-07:002020-05-17T11:32:37.364-07:00Working At Trader Joes During Covid-19<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> Greetings audience! It's been a while since I blogged. I know I should be blogging more often, but now here I am. For this blog we'll refer to myself as Stephen Gaiber And Working At Trader Joe's During Covid-19. I feel inspired to write this blog about someone with Aspergers and experiencing how Covid-19 has impacted my life at both Trader Joe's and personally. I have been at Trader Joe's since 2012 and have worked at three different stores. I currently work at the Irvine Woodbury Town Center, store #210.</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I'd like to talk about how Covid-19 has impacted me with Aspergers. Everything I love has closed, including the movie theaters, gym, malls, restaurants, parks, my own pool and hot tub, and most especially travel. I've had to postpone multiple vacations, which has made me extremely mad and hard to function. I love all of those activities I listed, and it upsets me that I can't do anything. It makes me wonder if it's worth it to be healthy or whether I should take a risk, because I can't handle being bored in my apartment. It makes me look forward to work more, as I can see my amazing co-workers and it gets me out of my apartment.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I have some amazing co-workers and managers. I have an amazing manager AKA mate above. They brighten our day and motivate us to come to work and do our best. They realize the stress that we are all enduring with the ever-changing policies. The thing that makes Trader Joe's special are the crew and the mates. I have made a bunch of friends throughout my 8+ years at Trader Joe's. I feel like we are all one big happy family. We do lots of tasks around the store, such as carts, bagging, register (except me), put up product on the shelves, some people write orders, and most importantly help customers with any questions they have. Our number-one priority is our customers, and we try to provide the best customer service possible.</span><br />

Let me tell you how crazy this pandemic has hit Trader Joe's. The pandemic hit us hard around mid-March in particular. We were out of everything. We couldn't even write orders. It was frustrating for both customers and the crew. Customers asked if we had certain products and we had to sadly tell them that we didn't. Fortunately the restriction of not being able to order anything only lasted a week. We have focused on sanitation of our carts and baskets. We have adjusted our hours, including reserving the first hour exclusively for seniors and people with compromised immune systems.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our customers have been very understanding and there for us. Some of them have baked us brownies and made us cards. This crisis has shown how good people can be. A lot of them are OK with waiting in line because of how much they love Trader Joe's. Life might be hard for me right now, but I am very thankful and glad to have Trader Joe's not only as a job, but as a place to go every day.</div>

It's Stephen Gaiber: The Autistic Traveler. Last month on my trip to Paris, I completed a major goal off my bucket list. I went to all the Disney Parks. People all over the world love Disney parks, particularly Disneyland in my new home in Orange County and The Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. I have been to Disneyland a lot as a child and in 2007 and the last time in 2014. I went to California Adventure for my first and only time in November 2014. I journeyed to Hong Kong Disneyland in 2010. For those who read my blogs last summer, I went to Shanghai Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea in 2018. Most recently, I went to both Disneyland Paris and Disney Studio Park this September. The best and most realistic Disney vacation was when I went to Walt Disney World in 2014. That was the highlight of my year and it impacted me with such positive experiences for 9 months in 2014. I even made a second trip there in 2015.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">For people with disabilities, Disney Parks are the place to visit. It used to be better though. Let's talk about some of the most recent developments in how Disney caters to those with disabilities. The Disneyland Resort, The Walt Disney World Resort, Shanghai Disneyland, and Tokyo Disney resort give those who have a hard time waiting in line a return time, very similar to FastPass, and a cast member will give those who are with the disabled guest a special spot at a particular time to come back to the attraction. Originally, Disney used to allow people to just cut the lines, but due to abuse, they changed it. The Disneyland Paris resort still lets you cut the line. This was a plus at Disneyland Paris. There is a pending lawsuit set for trial in February to help the disabled get the privilege to not stand in line again.</span><br />

The Magic Kingdom in Florida and Disneyland in California have rounded in the top 2 most visited theme parks worldwide, and for good reason. The Disney theme parks offer magic and a special kind of joy that the other parks can't offer. Disney World feels like you're going to a big city rather than going to a theme park. Disney Parks create millions of jobs and tourism. I bet you are interested in knowing what ranking I think each park is. Let us start with the top 12 NOW!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> 12. HONG KONG DISNEYLAND</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> I remember visiting this park when I visited Hong Kong 10 years ago. I wasn't sure whether or not I was still interested in Disney Parks at the time, but I decided to check it out. Let me tell you, it feels like a cheap rip-off of Disneyland. I barely even spent four hours there. This park opened in 2005 and I've heard that the park has grown a lot since I went.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> The facts clearly indicate that this park was a letdown. It has a daily cap of 34,000 and was visited by 5.2 million people, down from the projected 5.6 million in the first year. The second-year attendance was down by 20% to 4 million visitors. However, in the later years, attendance has grown and the park is now the 13th most visited theme park worldwide. That's probably due to the additions of Toy Story Land, Mystic Point, and Frontierland, which opened up after my visit to the park.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> The reason I put Hong Kong Disneyland at the bottom of the list was because of how small the park is compared to the other Disney Parks. As I said, the park has grown in the last 10 years. They have the basic lands of Disney Parks such as Main Street U.S.A., Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and Adventureland. The rides in those lands don't really excite me. They also don't have the rides that other Disney Parks have, such as Pirates of the Caribbean. A philosophy I have is I'd happily spend more money if I enjoy the parks more and if I'd have a better time. In other words, I'd rather spend more money going to a better Disney Park even if it costs more money. Bottom line: Hong Kong Disneyland is a rip-off and should be skipped.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> 11. Walt Disney Studios Park</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> The Walt Disney Studios Park next to Disneyland Paris is the second biggest stinker. This park opened up in 2002 and is the sister park and the much superior Disney's Hollywood Studios. It's visited by 5.2 million people a year and will feature new lands for Marvel, Star Wars, and Frozen in time for the 2024 Olympics. The Earffel Tower represents the water tower of the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, CA.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> You ALL may wonder why I think so little of this park. I will tell you why. The biggest reason is the park is too small -- I spent less than 2.5 hours there. In fact, I spent more time catching up on what I missed at Shanghai Disneyland the second day than I did at this park. Some of the attractions include Studio Tram Tour: Behind The Magic, The Twilight Tower of Terror, Moteurs...Action Stunt Show Spectacular, Toy Story Playland, Crush Coaster, and Ratatouille: L'Aventure Totalement Toquee de Remy. I felt that the Studio Tram ride was a cheap knock-off of the Universal Studios tour in Universal and didn't capture the thrills that Universal did. It disheartens me to say that I like the Universal tour over the Disney one since I usually like Disney better, but that's the fact. The Ratatouille ride is basically where one gets to live the life of Remy in the restaurant from the movie and is in 3D. Also, the Crush Coaster is a roller coaster that simulates some situations in Finding Nemo. Both the Ratatouille ride and Crush Coaster made me nauseous. The rides and how small the park is are both reasons to skip this. Definitely check out Disneyland Paris and maybe once the park is expanded, it will be worth checking out, but not now.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> 10. Disney's California Adventure</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> This is the second park in the Disneyland Resort and opened up in 2001. I had never been until 2014 and only went once, and let us say, I wasn't impressed. At first, the park started off with few attractions but has expanded with Cars Land, Pixar Pier, Toy Story Mania, and World of Color. It was visited by 9.9 million people in 2018 and hopes to keep on growing. Another expansion is Buena Vista Street, which is supposed to represent where the Walt Disney Studios is located. Much like Disney Studios Park and Hong Kong Disneyland, the major reason that I rank this park so low is that it is small with relatively few attractions.</span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> I enjoy some of the attractions, such as Soarin' Over California, which has now become Soarin' Around The World. Soarin' is also in Hollywood Studios and Shanghai Disneyland, which I will talk about later. This ride depicted awesome parts of California, including the Golden Gate Bridge, PGA West in La Quinta, Malibu, Downtown Los Angeles, and ends in Disneyland Park. I will talk about Soarin' Around The World when I talk about Shanghai Disneyland.<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">It has a long wait, so get a return time if possible</span></span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike></span><br />

Let me tell you, it didn't amuse me like both the 1992 and 2019 movies or even the Broadway musical. It has been replaced by Frozen-Live at the Hyperion.</span></span></div>

I enjoyed the rides at Cars Land. I had fun at Radiator Springs Racer, a very similar technology to Test Track at Epcot. It basically is a simulation of Radiator Springs where one drives in one of the Cars and goes around the track. There's also Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters, which was originally Luigi's Flying Tires, which was bumper cars. Overall, while California Adventure has expanded, it doesn't have a lot to offer and I didn't even feel like staying up all night to watch World of Color. Worth seeing if you go to Disneyland Park for multiple days or with a park hopper pass to say you went.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> 9. Tokyo DisneySea</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> Some of you might have read my blog about Tokyo DisneySea last year. I thought that the rides were decent, but the lands and parks didn't feel magical. Basically, my problem with this park is that it didn't feel like a Disney Park because it lacked the charm of a Disney Park. The park opened up in 2001 and explores all the lands around the world. The lands include Mediterranean Harbor, where I went on a gondola like in Italy, Mysterious Island, Mermaid Lagoon, Arabian Coast, Lost River Delta, American Waterfront, and Port Discovery. The park’s attendance has soared to over 14 million visitors and it’s the 4th most visited theme park worldwide.</span><br />

It’s a step up above the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas but felt fake. The American Waterfront features a representation of Cape Cod and New York Harbor. The two longest waits include Toy Story Mania, which is also popular in Hollywood Studios and California Adventure, as well as Tower of Terror. They are very similar to the rides in Florida and Disneyland.</span><br />

They are darker and more adult-oriented rides. Raging Spirits and Journey to the Center of the Earth are roller coasters that explore deep new lands such as the center of the earth and Peru. They are good for those who want thrills and to do something different than the typical Disney parks. I liked these rides but felt they were nothing special. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is where one goes on a simulator submarine and explores Atlantis.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" />

I liked getting that feeling on the boat like It’s A Small World. It's a fun boat ride where one gets to hear the story about Sinbad and one gets to see his journey on the Arabian Coast. Alan Menken even wrote a song for the ride. At night, there's Fantasmic, but I missed it due to rain on the day I went. Overall, Tokyo DisneySea is worth checking out, but don't expect the magic of a Disney Park. Also, when taking the subway in Tokyo, there is a separate line at Disneyland that one has to take when they arrive at the Tokyo Disney Resort, and it costs additional money.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> 8. Disneyland Paris</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> On my last day in Paris, I decided to cross off going to all the Disney Parks by going to Disneyland Paris. This park opened up in 1992 and is the second Disney park abroad after Tokyo Disneyland. A great way to get to Disneyland Paris from the city is by taking the metro, and the trip is 45 minutes. The Disneyland Paris Resort consists of two parks, Disney Village, and lots of hotels. The castle is Sleeping Beauty Castle like the one in Disneyland, but offers more of a French castle feeling.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> The park has the same lands as the other Disney Parks, such as Main Street U.S.A., Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, and Discoveryland. Even though it has most of the basic rides, it feels a lot smaller than some of the bigger Disney Parks. Some of the different attractions include The Haunted Mansion Phantom Manor, Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain, and Alice's Curious Labyrinth. I felt that the Star Wars ride made me nauseous, while I really enjoyed Alice's Curious Labyrinth because of all the visuals and how I got lost in the maze.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> Some of my favorite rides in the park include It's A Small World and Pirates of the Caribbean. They are both the same as they are in the Magic Kingdom, Disneyland, and Tokyo Disneyland. It's A Small World is a fun boat ride that represents how life is in different countries. Pirates of the Caribbean is also a fun boat ride showing pirates, well, being pirates! It has many updates that are from the movie such as Captain Jack Sparrow. Arr, it’s a pirate’s life for me. A fun attraction to get lost in is Adventure Isle, where one can go on an amazing walk around the land and can go to the Swiss Family Treehouse as well as the pirate ship on Pirate Beach. It feels like one is going on an amazing quest by seeing what's in the treehouse. If one has time in between attractions, one should hang on Adventure Isle to kill time, and there's no wait.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> Of course, it wouldn't be a Disney Park without a parade and evening show. There's a fun little late-afternoon show called Stars on Parade, which features Disney characters and floats in a special show. Some of those characters include characters from Frozen, Peter Pan, and Lion King. I had fun seeing all the characters having a good time, but wasn't amazed. The nighttime show is Disney Illuminations and it's a fun way to end the night. The show contains clips from The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, and Frozen. I wouldn't say it's the best night show, but it’s worth seeing if one is at the park. Overall, I had a good time at Disneyland Paris, but one doesn't need the whole day as it's not big enough to spend the entire day. If one is at the park, one could go check out Disney Village or some of the hotels to kill time in between attractions.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> 7. Tokyo Disneyland</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> As some of you read a year ago, I did a blog about Tokyo Disneyland. I liked it but felt it was a copycat of Disneyland in California. The symbol of the park is Cinderella's Castle like in the Magic Kingdom. The park opened up on April 15, 1983 and is the 3rd most visited theme park worldwide, only behind the Magic Kingdom and Disneyland. It's the only Disney park not owned by The Walt Disney Company and was visited by nearly 18 million people in 2018.</span><br />

Most of the rides are very similar to Disneyland, especially as they both have Toontown, which has Gadget Coaster and the Roger Rabbit Ride.</span><br />

I already have shared my opinion of Pirates of the Caribbean. I enjoy going on the Jungle Cruise. It feels like I'm going on a miniature ride around the jungle with animatronic animals such as elephants, birds, and hippos. Fantasyland has my favorite It's A Small World as well as Peter Pan's Flight, Pinocchio's Daring Journey, and Snow White's Adventures. Something unique is the wishing well at Snow White Grotto. A different attraction is Monsters, Inc. Ride and Go Seek, which I felt was nothing special. For those who want to get a return time, if possible use Google Translation to talk to cast members and have them help you.</span><br />

For the nighttime show, it was Celebrate! Tokyo Disneyland and sadly it's gone. It was a nice little show with fireworks, and it focused on attractions and movies that make Tokyo Disneyland what it is today. Overall, it’s a big and fun park, but expect a copycat of Disneyland and not much different.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> 6. Disneyland</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> Let me first tell you and this is going to shock you. I have not been a fan of Disneyland since I was 11. I haven't even been in five years or had a pass. I felt it was a typical boring theme park. That being said, it still is the original and Walt Disney's dream before expanding into Disney World. Fans wanted to visit The Walt Disney Studios but realized the studio has little to offer tourists. Walt Disney acquired 160 acres of walnut and orange groves in Anaheim. Struggling to get financing for the park, Walt decided to create a show called Disneyland. The park opened on July 17, 1955 and only the press and a few people were invited. Others had counterfeit tickets or sneaked into the event. I remember seeing the opening day ceremony in a play about Walt Disney and when there was a Disney exhibit at the Ronald Reagan Library. Disneyland has grown throughout the years.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> A unique aspect about the Disney parks is that Walt wanted to look into the future and keep on changing, and so Disneyland keeps on changing. From anniversaries to special events, Disney always keeps the memories going. Disneyland of course has the original lands such as Adventureland, Frontierland, New Orleans Square, Crittercountry, Fantasyland, Toontown, Tomorrowland, and the recently added Star Wars: Galaxy Edge. Another way Disney kept changing is by having shopping and hotels close by, such as Downtown Disney and Disneyland Hotel. They keep changing shows and attractions based on current Disney movies.</span><br />

What makes these rides special is the fact that they are the original ones and I've seen how they've changed throughout the years. One example is after the Pirates of the Caribbean movies came out, they changed the ride based on the movie. Some of the original rides, including Peter Pan's Flight and Snow White's Scary Adventures, are still there and draws a crowd. It’s fun to go on those rides at the original park because of the nostalgia.</span><br />

One of the best nighttime shows is Fantasmic. I have not seen the updated one and I'm not sure if I saw the original one, but it's something I look forward to seeing next time I go to Disneyland. The nighttime shows, as usual, end with fireworks and clips of Disney movies to give us that nostalgia. Throughout the day, if one wants a break from the Disney parks, one can go to Downtown Disney and get a bite to eat. While I can understand why people love Disneyland, I lost interest as I got older as I felt that theme parks are more for kids. The reason I like Disney World so much is that it feels more like a city than a theme park.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> 5. Shanghai Disneyland</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> This is the newest Disney park, with a lot of technological updates. This park opened up in 2016 and feels so much different than all the other Disney parks. The way that the park is so much different is that it feels like a visual delight, such as how in Adventure Isle one can ride a canoe or play in a pirate ship. One should explore the growing land of these parks. The lands consist of Mickey Ave., which is the equivalence of Main Street U.S.A., Gardens of Imagination, Fantasyland, Treasure Cove, Adventure Isle, Tomorrowland, and Toy Story Land.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> As I've mentioned, the reason I like this Disney Park over others is that the all of the visuals make it different. In Tomorrowland there's the Tron Lightcycle Power Run, where one soars into the Tron ride. I thought personally it was nauseating. In Gardens of Imagination, there's a Marvel Land, where I met Captain America and Star Lord, and they had Avengers Training. Also there were pictures of all of the Disney movies and characters from Frozen, Robin Hood, Mulan, and The Princess and the Frog. Adventure Isle has the updated Soarin' Around The World, where one can fly across the Sydney Harbor, Great Wall of China, and the Pyramids in Egypt. Another difference is the visuals of Alice in Wonderland Maze. One can get lost exploring the visuals of all the Alice in Wonderland props.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> In my Shanghai Disneyland blog, I mentioned my two favorites include Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure and Voyage to the Crystal Grotto. The reason I loved both of those rides is that they made us, the riders, feel that we were part of the rides. The Pirates ride showed us the battle between the two ships, the Flying Dutchman and the Kraken in the Pirates of the Caribbean saga. Voyage to the Crystal Grotto took us on an amazing boat ride and showed us scenes from Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, Mulan, and The Little Mermaid. There's also an amazing stunt show, Eye of the Storm: Captain Jack’s Stunt Spectacular. It’s Captain Jack Sparrow trying to escape and we have a lot of fun watching him do it. The technology is what makes the rides spectacular as well as the representation of the movies.</span><br />

There's even a Cheesecake Factory. Weird to see in China, ain’t it? One can do some shopping there and check out Wishing Star Lake as well as the Disneyland Hotel and Toy Story Hotel. At night, the show is Ignite the Dream, A Nighttime Spectacular of Magic and Light. It's a fireworks show with clips from The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean, Cinderella, Finding Nemo, Star Wars, and Frozen. It's a fun way to end a day at the park. Overall, I enjoyed Shanghai Disneyland, especially the visuals and technology, but the rides were hit or miss other than Pirates and Crystal Grotto. If one is in Shanghai and a Disney fan, make a visit to the park.</span><br />

Well, one can do that at the amazing Epcot Center. This park is divided into two lands, World Showcase and Future World. This park just celebrated its 37th anniversary, having opened up on October 1, 1982 at the Walt Disney World Resort. Epcot holds some amazing annual festivals, such as The Flower and Garden and the Food and Wine. Wow! I can't believe a theme park can offer such events. Let's explore what makes Epcot so special.</span></div>

Let’s go explore the future. The symbol of Epcot is Spaceship Earth, which is a ride that takes you throughout time and evolution. Mission Space takes one on a simulated mission to Mars. One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. It was nauseating. Test Track takes you on a test drive into the future. The Land attraction is extremely educational by teaching us about nature. They even have the new Soarin' Around The World, which I have yet to see, but I did see it when it was Soarin' Around California. A fun former attraction was Circle of Life: An Environmental Fable, where Simba teaches Timon and Pumba about how we are all responsible for our actions on this earth. Environmentalists would love the message. Overall, while I did like Future World, I like World Showcase more because it feels more unique.</span><br />

It features many countries such as Canada, United Kingdom, France, Morocco, Japan, United States, Japan, Italy, Germany, China, Mexico, and Italy. This exhibit represents the world's fair and what makes each country special. I enjoy the fact that one can see all these countries in one place. They represent the cultures and have the countries’ foods and representations. Overall, I do like World Showcase because seeing a representation of each country makes it different than other theme parks. I just don't feel the connection as much because I have visited most of these countries and it can feel fake seeing these representations.</span><br />

I look forward to seeing that show next time at Epcot. IllumiNations featured fireworks around the countries. It was a great way to end the night at Epcot and I hope HarmonioUS will not disappoint. Overall, I did like Epcot, but it feels more fake than other Disney Parks at Disney World.</span><br />

Well, in the amazing Animal Kingdom, one can go on that African safari without spending a load of money or leaving the continent. This park opened up on Earth Day 1998 and was a nature environment for animal conservation. This park cares for the animals’ well-being, and the nighttime show features no fireworks so as not to disturb the animals. It’s amazing to believe that the park is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and World Association of Zoos and Aquariums. I bet you no one would ever think of that for a Disney Park. The park attendance continues to grow annually and was visited by 13.7 million people. It’s the 3rd most visited theme park in the U.S. and the 6th most visited park worldwide.</span></div>

I have not visited Pandora yet, but I look forward to visiting it next time I go. The Oasis feels like you're visiting the equivalence of Main Street U.S.A. and the park entrance. Want to take an amazing walk around the areas of the park? Discovery Island connects you to explore all the lands of the park. In Asia, one is taken to the fictional land of Anandapur, which invokes traits of Thailand, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Mongolia, and Nepal. Some thrill rides include Expedition Everest: Legend of the Forbidden Mountain, Kali River Rapids, and Dinosaur. I like Expedition Everest and Kali River Rapids over Dinosaur because Dinosaur made me nauseous and Expedition Everest and Kali River Rapids are fun little thrill rides that take one around the land of Asia.</span><br />

The most different attraction is the Kilimanjaro Safaris. As I mentioned, it feels very similar to an African Safari because one sees live animals such as elephants, hippos, giraffes, zebras, wild dogs, antelopes, Nile crocodiles, as well as many other animals. The best part is that they are all in the wild and not animatronic. I have no interest in going to Africa, so this will suffice. I had a good time going on the safari because I got to see wild animals run free. It's the first thing I did at Animal Kingdom because of how different it is from other attractions at the Disney Parks. Another amazing part about Africa is the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail, where people can walk around and see wild animals from the safari attraction. If one wants to check out a show, check out The Festival of The Lion King, based off of the movie.</span><br />

If one is an animal lover or even a land lover, this park is for you. Overall, I enjoyed Disney's Animal Kingdom because of the safari, the animals, and the awesome walks.</span><br />

The park has changed since the last time I've been there. It originally opened on May 1, 1989, 27 days before I was born. I bet The Walt Disney Company knew I was going to be born so they opened this park. Originally called Disney's MGM-Studios Park, the park imagines worlds from film, television, music, theater, and the Golden Age of Hollywood. As I've mentioned, this park has changed throughout the years and done away with many of its previous attractions. One of the reasons this park opened was to compete with the upcoming Universal Studios. </span></div>

One of my favorite shows at night is Fantasmic. I'm not sure if I’ve seen the one at Disneyland, but the one in Hollywood Studios is still lots of fun -- Mickey Mouse battles Maleficent as she becomes a lot of the Disney villains. Steamboat Willie makes a cameo with all the Disney characters. For Indiana Jones fans, there's the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, in which Indy performs stunts. Some former shows I enjoyed were The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow and Lights, Motors, Action! An Extreme Stunt Show. Also, there's Beauty and the Beast: Live on Stage, which tells the tale as old as time with all your favorite characters. For people who want to check out shows instead of rides, this is the park.</span><br />

One of the best former rides was The Great Movie Ride. The building looks like the Chinese theater and gives one a tour of all the movies of the early days. I know some people didn't love it, but as a movie lover, I enjoyed feeling like I was in Hollywood. I wish I had seen the Studio Backlot Tour -- as an avid movie lover, I would have loved to see how the movies were made. Some rides that still exist include Toy Story Mania, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and Rock 'N' Rollin Roller Coaster. My favorite ride is Rock 'N' Rollin Roller Coaster, where one can take a coaster and feel like they're in California.</span><br />

I look forward to seeing how the park has changed since going 4 years ago. I know I didn't give a clear representation of the park because of all the changes. The reason I liked it so much is because of that feeling of being back in the movies. Years ago, it would have been my top favorite Disney Park. I hope that next time I go I'll have a better idea of where to rank it. Until then, this park will see you at the movies.</span><br />

It is Walt Disney's dream come true. Walt Disney sadly died years before his dream, the Florida Project, came true. The Florida Project is what became EPCOT. Walt wanted a bigger version of Disneyland and he knew it wasn't going to be in California. The park opened up on October 1, 1971. Something unique about Magic Kingdom is that one can take a monorail between the Disney's Contemporary Resort and Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. The Contemporary Resort's monorail has a Mickey Mouse symbol as one rides the track. The reason that I love this resort over the other Disney Parks is because of how magical the park feels.</span></div>

I suppose one of the major differences is The Hall of Presidents in Liberty Hall, where one can hear animatronics of the presidents speaking. It's narrated by Morgan Freeman. I of course love Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise, Tom Sawyers Island and Cinderella's Castle. I love this park because of the magic and how it’s a visual delight. I can understand how the park keeps growing with visitors and continues to be the number-one most visited theme park worldwide.</span><br />

Both these shows are no longer there, but the shows I saw include Wishes: A Magical Gathering of Disney Dreams and Celebrate the Magic. The show features clips from the amazing Disney movies and fireworks. You will be entertained. Most people including myself enjoy the magic that Walt brought upon us.</span><br />

From Europe to Asia to Orange County to Florida, they're international. To safaris to going around the world to jungle cruises to pirates to roller coasters, there's something for everyone at the Disney Parks. I hope I inspired YOU to take that Disney trip around the world.</span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike>Stephen Gaiber The Autistic Travelerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14311923261077652336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3358099260737769452.post-61301852638002943852019-10-08T21:51:00.000-07:002019-10-08T21:51:23.601-07:00Hawaii<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sorry for not blogging the last few months. I moved to Irvine and needed to get acclimated to that. There will be three upcoming blogs about my most recent travels. Let's talk about my first main summer trip, Hawaii. For many people, Hawaii is the perfect place to go on a vacation. There are many islands one would want to visit. The main four include Kona, known as the big island; Oahu; Maui; and Kaui. I haven't been to Kaui, so sadly I won't be able to give a pitch about it. Today we're going to discuss what makes Hawaii so special and everything every island has to offer.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> Let me first explain why tourists from all over the world go to Hawaii. People love to escape reality, and Hawaii is the best escape. Hawaii has some of the best beaches, resorts, swimming pools, and nature in the world. Tourism is actually Hawaii's main source of income after the military, and one can see why. Hawaii is to the west coast what the Caribbean is to the east coast. Unlike the Caribbean, I would recommend a land vacation because there is more to see in Hawaii than the Caribbean. The Caribbean only has so much to see and then one would get bored, which is why a cruise is good for the Caribbean and a week in Hawaiian paradise is the way to see Hawaii. Let's talk about the history of each island and what they have to offer.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> Let's first talk about the number one main island people come to visit, Oahu. Here are some interesting facts: It's known as "The Gathering Place," it's the third largest island in Hawaii, and it's home to a million people, or two-thirds of the Hawaiian natives. The island has been inhabited since the 3rd century. The most infamous event is Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, when Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese. Today, Oahu is visited by five million people a year, mostly from the United States and Japan.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> As I mentioned, tourism is a major part of the economy in Hawaii. Let's talk about some of the major tourist attractions in Oahu. The main places to visit are Waikiki, Waikiki Beach, Ala Moana Mall, Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, and the North Shore. Some major sites in Waikiki include the major resorts, such as the Hilton Hawaiian Village; Waikiki Beach; and Honolulu Zoo and Aquarium. There's a lot people would want to see in Oahu, enough that one could spend a week in just Honolulu alone. If one wants to include a bunch of activities on one pass, one might want to get the All-Inclusive Oahu Pass.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-size: medium;"> I would say Oahu is my second favorite island because of how much there is to see and all the beautiful beaches and tourist activities. There is a lot to see on this island. Some people complain that it's too much of a big city and not the real Hawaii. I strongly disagree because Waikiki Beach, Hanauma Bay, Hilton Hawaiian Village, and the North Shore offer amazing beaches with amazing blue water to snorkel in. If you're lucky, you can even see a sea turtle. Go out and explore Oahu and then decide if you want to go to another island.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> Now let's talk about the best island in Hawaii, Maui. The reason that I think it's the best island is because of the fancy resorts and beaches. It has the real perfect blend of Hawaii and tourism and doesn't feel as touristy as Oahu. Also, it has excellent snorkeling.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-size: medium;"> I am first going to discuss the history of Maui. It is the second biggest Hawaiian island. It has a population of 144,444 and is the third most populated island. The Polynesians came to populate Hawaii, probably how Maui from Moana came to be. Years after founding the constitution, explorer James Cook came to explore Maui and was the first from Europe to visit. The population has been growing throughout the years, which has expanded tourism.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> Now for the major reason to check out this part of the blog, the tourism. For those who are island hopping, let me give YOU a very good and time-saving tip. Don't fly into OGG Airport. There's an airport, Kapalua Airport, right in between Lahaina and Kaanapali. One can then take a bus or even walk to their resort. So much easier than going to Kahului Airport. Sadly those coming from LAX or the USA or international can't use this option.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> The tourism includes Lahaina town and the resorts near Kaanapali Beach. Some of those resorts include the Hyatt Regency Maui, Sheraton Maui Resort and Spa, as well as the Westin. There is a resort row in Kaanapali where one can check out resorts near the beach as well as shop at Whalers Village. One can also take the bus to Lahaina town and explore it. Another excellent part to check out in West Maui is Kapalua Resort, which includes the Ritz Carlton. I prefer the Hyatt to the Ritz Carlton. Both Kapalua and Kaanapali Beach have excellent snorkeling. If one wants to explore some unique parts outside of the Maui resorts, one should check out The Road to Hana and Waimea, which is known as Cowboy Town. Maui has a lot to see combining tourism and nature. This is one island not to miss.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> KONA AKA THE BIG ISLAND</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> Well, let's talk about one of the most visited islands in Hawaii, The Big Island of Hawaii AKA Kona. I stayed in the major tourist part, Kailua. This island is a lot more quiet than some of the other islands like Oahu and Maui. This is a place for those who want to explore Hawaii without the tourists. From volcanos to black sand beaches, Kona has some variety.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> I am personally not a big fan of Kailua because of how there's a lack of activities and the beaches aren't very beautiful. I also was bored there. I went on a circle island tour and even though some of the caves and volcanos were interesting, they didn't hold my interest on this island. Also, one might have to go deep in the island to find white sand beaches. One could tell that this island was formed by the volcanic ash. I guess if one doesn't want activities and to relax on the beach, this could suffice, but I would never recommend this island.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> Hawaii has a lot of diversity and a lot to offer. Some of the highlights include big cities, beaches, snorkeling, and fancy resorts. The Hawaiian Islands help people escape reality with relaxation and beautiful beaches. People from all over the world, not just from the west coast of the USA, should make a point to see Hawaii once. I hope I motivate YOU to either go back to Hawaii or to visit the new world for the first time.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> Welcome audience to another presidential blog with Stephen Gaiber: The Autistic Traveler. Today, we are going to explore the life of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan, via the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California. The museum goes into the details of Reagan's life before, during, and after his presidency. This is a great museum to check out if you're a fan or not a fan of Reagan, or if you live nearby in Southern California.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-size: medium;"> When you drive to the library entrance, you will notice all the past and current presidents being honored for their time served in office. There are secret service agents protecting the building. I am currently a presidential library member, so I get to go to the museums for free. There are also free events on Presidents Day, such as photo opportunities with Lincoln and Washington, as well as reenactments of events of their time in office. When you enter the museum, YOU really get a feel for Reagan's life as president. It begins with an introduction video, then the story of his life as presidency begins.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> There is a lot to see at The Ronald Reagan Library. Some of the museum exhibits include Reagan's life as governor of California, his family life, his policies, and life as an actor. For people who are into history about Ronald Reagan, this is the place to go. Other exhibits include Reagan's assassination attempt, his life with Nancy, his "just say no to drugs" campaign, Air Force One, his meeting to improve Russian relations (unlike our current president), and the Berlin Wall.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> Whether you like Reagan or not, hopefully the museum can give YOU a perspective of some of his accomplishments as president. One of his major goals was to get government out of your personal life. I have mixed feelings about that. Sometimes I feel we need government to protect us from being taken advantage of by rich corporations or greedy capitalists. Also, rules and regulations can make starting a business and personal life harder. Something I was proud of Reagan for doing was destroying the Berlin Wall between East and West Germany. I actually went to the Berlin Wall in Berlin and saw some of the impact it had on Germany. I felt that his relationship with Nancy is a modern-day presidential love story, like the Obamas'. My hope is if you visit the Reagan library, you will learn some history and accomplishments of his presidency.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> The Ronald Reagan Library at times has temporary exhibits, which for members cost extra. The most recent one was Pompeii. The city of Pompeii was destroyed by a giant volcano. Its massive lava destroyed the city faster than you could scream. There also was a major earthquake that caused a lot of damage. Those who complain about the Northridge earthquake, be thankful the whole San Fernando Valley wasn't destroyed. I personally wasn't a fan of this exhibit. I did enjoy other exhibits, such as D23 (interesting fact: Ronald Reagan knew Walt Disney), Titanic, Genghis Khan, and many others. These exhibits are worth checking out if one visits the library.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> There is a lot to see for those who love history at the Ronald Reagan Library. From free shows to personal events and parties, the museum is more than another history museum. There's something for everyone to check out.

<span style="font-size: medium;"> Greetings everyone! It's Stephen Gaiber: The Autistic Traveler again. For today's blog, we're going to talk about the city that never sleeps, New York City. Let me tell you, it is a very lively city, from museums to family entertainment to tourist traps to restaurants to famous sites and everything you can imagine. This diverse city is where most of the immigrants came from, stopping on Ellis Island to start a new life. Some of these immigrants include Italians, Jews, Russian, all different types of people. There's a lot to explore and so little time to explore it all, so let's explore New York City.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #1d2228; font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> Since there's a lot to offer in New York City, let's talk about some interesting facts that make New York the city that it is. The city was originally called New Amsterdam -- too bad they aren't as liberal as real Amsterdam. The city was first founded in 1625, with the first settlers coming in 1624. The island of Manhattan was named after the Native American tribe that lived in Manhattan. For a year, 1789 to 1790, it was the nation's capital. Imagine if Trump was president then how he'd feel at home with his little adoring crowd. Speaking of minorities, 52% are women and half of residents over the age of 5 speak a foreign language. Even though most of us think New York is big, it's only 300 square miles.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> There are a lot of sites that New York has to offer, from big buildings, excellent museums, excellent views, and so much more. New York has many walking tours from Wall Street, movies, Madison Square Garden, and transportation walking tours. Sadly, since there is only so much time I've had throughout my duration in New York, I have been unable to do a walking tour, but I hope one day to do a walking tour.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> One of the most famous museums is the Natural History Museum. It has dinosaurs and creatures from all over the world, as well as science exhibits. It is one of New York's historic sites. There is a lot to learn, such as how the dinosaurs were made and a very topical subject, global warming. There are a lot of creatures from all over the world. I think this is an excellent place to explore if one has a free day.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> New York has no shortage of art museums. Some of the famous art museums include the Museum of Modern Art, which always has new exhibits. It is also free every Friday after 5pm, but be aware of very long lines. Another famous art museum is the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. The art is displayed all around the museum and shows all different types of art on each level. Each level you walk up, you see the art on display and see different types of amazing art. It's definitely worth walking up all the floors.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> The best art museum is the Metropolitan Museum of Art, known as the Met. Wow! is this museum big and amazing. I mean, one could literately spend a whole day there and still miss out on a lot of art. The types of art include European and British art, Egyptian and Pharaoh art, Asian art, and New Zealand art. This museum consists of several main floors, where one would get engaged in seeing all the different types of art work and feel they are experiencing the culture. The best art, I feel, is the Egyptian art because it feels like YOU are in ancient Egypt. It is 2 million square feet. One might be able to get admission just by making a donation rather than paying the suggested price for admission. I've done that throughout the years, but it's at the discretion of the person selling tickets. If one has A LOT of time in New York and is not rushed, it's worth spending a whole day at the Met.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> New York has some great views, such as Top of the Rock, Chrysler Building, and Empire State Building. They're all really excellent. There is now a new excellent building to see views, the One World Observatory. It's right near the 9/11 Museum and is a great reminder of how great New York is. I loved exploring the excellent views really high up. One can see the beautiful skyline, showing the entire city, and get a history lesson too. One should definitely explore this if one happens to be near the 9/11 memorial.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> There's no reason why one should ever have to pay full price for admission unless one is only interested in literately seeing one thing throughout New York. There are many different passes that include the New York Pass, the New York Sightseeing Pass, the New York CityPass, and the New York Explorer Card. My two favorites that I would recommend if one wants to have unlimited choices for a certain amount of time would be between the New York Pass and the New York Sightseeing Pass. They are pretty much the same with some exceptions. Some of the things that the New York Pass offers that the Sightseeing pass doesn't offer are the Museum of Sex and the Empire State Building. The New York Sightseeing Pass does offer discounts at Planet Hollywood and Buffalo Wild Wings.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> If one only is in New York for a day or two and only has a select few attractions to see, maybe the New York CityPass or Explorer Card is right for YOU. The New York Explorer Card lets you pick a certain amount of attractions for a certain price. The New York CityPass will either let you pick between three of a certain amount of attractions or six attractions all together with three allowed and a choice between three others. There's a lot to explore in New York and to get the best bang for your buck, one should get at least one sort of pass.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> New York has a lot to offer the average person. Some of the attractions it has to offer include museums, history, shopping, tours, famous sporting events, and just a place to spend time. People from all over the world consider New York a prime place to visit and I hope I gave you some better insight into why that is.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Greetings audience! It's Stephen Gaiber: The Autistic Traveler. For today's blog, I am going to discuss my time at the Los Angeles Travel and Adventure Show. It's a travel show that advertises different travel itinerates such as Asia vacations, European vacations, Africa vacations, different styles of vacations and many different ways to see the world. The Travel and Adventure Show. There are booths of travel agents who work for particular companies and explain the benefits of all types of vacations.</span></div>

Some of the places that the Travel and Adventure Show goes to are Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. They have been doing these shows for 15 years and 84 events, bringing 4,000 different exhibition companies around the world. I am proud to have attended these events for 10 years and I look forward to discussing the highlights of the travel show.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"> The Travel and Adventure Show has a lot to offer those who love to travel. There are people who advertise many different tours such as safaris in Africa, Mediterranean Boat Vacations, all different destinations in Asia, and different counties in California. I have learned about more there is to do in different parts of California, such as what there is to do in San Bernardino County, Inyo County, or even more that there is to see in Ventura, San Luis Obispo, Mammoth, and Lancaster. The main aspect regarding California that the travel show likes to explore is that there is more to see than just Los Angeles and San Francisco.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> One can learn about many different types of vacations out there other than just the big cities. Different types of vacations include hiking and camping and sun vacations. As I've mentioned before, some of the big highlights that the travel show has to offer include the touristy parts of Asia and Europe. One can also learn about different types of vacations such as house-swapping, which is changing houses with a particular person like the movie The Holidays. They also have a website called Cashbackmonitor.com, which shows all the websites where one can do online shopping to get cash and frequent-flyer miles. There is a lot to learn about travel by visiting the travel show.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> There are some things I would like to see The Travel And Adventure Show expand on. I am an avid Disney fan, particularly of Disneyworld. They should advertise Orlando, Disneyworld, Universal Studios Orlando, SeaWorld Orlando, and many other parks. A lot of Californians might forget about those places and it might help draw tourists to check out Disneyworld. Also they should have other states from the Midwest or even the East Coast come in and explain why one should visit their states. One example would be South Carolina; there's a lot to see in that state, such as Beauty and the Beach. Also the big cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston, etc., should come and explain why one should visit their cities.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"> Overall, I feel that The Travel and Adventure Show has a lot to offer world travelers who want to explore. I love coming here annually and I hope that I have given YOU an idea of what to explore when you're in the area. They at times can switch it from the Los Angeles Convention Center to Long Beach Convention Center, but both are accessible by the Metro, so no need to endure Los Angeles traffic. There are pleasant surprises at the end, such as this year I rode a zip line and last year I rode an elephant. I encourage all to check out this amazing show. Also please watch my video at <a href="https://youtu.be/bSrrwGYWv1U">https://youtu.be/bSrrwGYWv1U</a></span></div>

I am a member of the presidential libraries and as a member, I get general admission included to visit the presidential libraries anytime. These libraries are great for history and people who want to learn facts about the presidents' administrations. There are 14 presidential libraries including the upcoming Obama museum. The libraries I have attended include those of JFK, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon. If one happens to visit Northeastern Orange County and wants to escape the shopping malls, beach, or Disneyland, one should hop to Yorba Linda, both Richard Nixon's birthplace and the location of his museum.</span></div>

The museum was opened on July 19, 1990. The museum goes into exclusive detail about the president's life, history, and career. His family home was designed to appear as it did in the 1910s. Wow! What an impressive fact for those who like to explore history. The museum did a massive expansion in 2016 and includes the oval office, media to appeal to millennials, the Vietnam War, Nixon in China, and Nixon's sitting room. These exhibits add more variety and give one a better appreciation of Richard Nixon's legacy. The main topics I hope to address are Nixon's life, the Vietnam War, his accomplishments, and the Watergate Scandal. I'd rather relive Watergate than live Trump and Putin.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.06px;"> Richard Nixon was born in Yorba Linda on January 9, 1913. Interesting fact: Richard Nixon's father was a grocer like I am. One of Nixon's earlier quotes about his life was, "We were poor, but the glory of it is we didn't know it." That would make everyone's financial problems much easier today if they adopted that mentality. Both of Nixon's brothers died before he turned 20. Richard Nixon got into Harvard, but due to finances, he went to Whittier College and got a full scholarship to Duke University Law School. In 1940, he married a schoolteacher Pat and had two daughters.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.06px;"> Richard Nixon was determined to do what it took to be president. In 1960, he competed against John F. Kennedy. Talk about the heartbreaking loss, by just 120,000 votes. Reminds me of the 2000 election of Bush vs. Gore. At least JFK won the popular vote. Upon return to California, he was encouraged to run for governor against Pat Brown, ultimately loosing to her. Richard Nixon decided to come back and run for president against Hubert Humphrey and independent George Wallace. He won the election by 500,000. If Nixon taught us anything, it teaches us to do what it takes to follow our dreams. I can relate to Nixon in the sense that I've been trying for years to get a job in entertainment and travel, and despite my failures, I keep trying to get that job.</span></div>

Johnson. He really had a dilemma because the war caused the country to be split. If he didn't end the war, there would be outrage, but if he did, it would be an outrage too. Part of the problems he faced with the Vietnam War was that Democrats could charge Nixon abandoning a peaceful solution with war crimes. But if he didn't end the war, Saigon would fall. He slowly pulled troops out of Vietnam. In 1972, there were no troops on the combat field and by 1973, only 25,000 soldiers remained in Vietnam. The Vietnam War is a subject we can all debate if it was necessary or not. However this ended the mandated draft. Ending the war will go down as one of Nixon's accomplishments.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Like or hate Richard Nixon, he tried his best to make America better than when he came in. He accomplished some excellent goals that helped set up our country for success. He founded the Environment Protection Agency (EPA), which was in response to pollution and conservation. Some of the laws that were passed were the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and the Mamel Marine Act. These laws have been very beneficial to make the environment safer and easier to battle global warming. He started the War on Cancer which created national cancer centers and medications to battle cancer. My favorite accomplishment of Nixon was that he was the first US President to visit China. He eased relations between China and America, making it easier for me to go on my favorite trip since graduating high school and go to Shanghai Disneyland this summer. I think these were excellent traits of this president. Unfortinatly, the Watergate Scandle were what led to the end of Nixon.</span></div>

There was a break-in on June 17, 1972 at the Democratic National Committee. The people involved were with Richard Nixon's re-election campaign. They used wiretapping phones and stole documents. Nixon made sure that Watergate was covered up. This caused people to question their leaders. Two reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein from the Washington Post, did a deep investigation and were applauded for their efforts in investigating and won a Pulitzer prize. This was traced back to Nixon because phone numbers of the re-election campaign were with the burglars' stuff. Also Richard Nixon arranged hush money to the burglars to keep quiet about Watergate, like Donald Trump did for Stormy Daniels. Nixon's administration tried to impede the CIA, which was both an abuse of power and obstruction of justice. The Saturday Night Massacre, October 20, 1973, was when Archibald Cox was fired upon his request for Nixon to give up the tapes. Nixon was forced to resign on August 8, 1974 and six weeks later was pardoned by Gerald Ford. This was a dark time, causing a lot of problems for years to come. Nixon was at least admirable for leaving when he knew he was in trouble. We live in similar times now and I hope that we have a country where we can trust our leaders.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.06px;"> After Nixon resigned, he returned to Southern California to have a regular life. He went back home to San Clemente. He had a lot of struggles, both physically and financially, since Watergate. He died on April 22, 1994, and his wife Pat died a year earlier. At the end of the library, they had the video of his memorial. Richard Nixon left a legacy both good and bad, but did care for America's best interests. I hope that if you happen to be in Orange County or traveling from Riverside County, you will get off the 91 freeway and make up your own opinion about Nixon.

It's Stephen Gaiber: The Autistic Traveler here to discuss my first vacation of the year, my journey on the Carnival Splendor to the Mexican Riviera. For this blog we're not just going to talk about my journey on this cruise, we're going to talk about all my times on Carnival Cruise Line and how they are very similar and what the cruise line has to offer YOU. There are many reasons why one would pick Carnival Cruise Line, such as how it's the least expensive cruise line, especially compared with Disney (you might as well go to Disney World, where YOU would get more bang for your buck), it goes to all the places ONE would dream of such as the Caribbean, Mexico, and Europe, and how people from all around the world drink and party together. People from all over the country, particularly the Midwest, come explore the world with Carnival Cruise Line and make it the fun ship.</span></div>

It's one of the 10 cruise line brands owned by the American-British Carnival Corporation. Founded in 1972, its headquarters are located in Miami, Florida. There has been a lot of economic impact to ports such as the Caribbean and Ensenada, Mexico. Carnival has brought lots of jobs and money to Port Everglades. Let me explain to all of YOU why Carnival is the way to party at sea.</span></div>

I have taken a good amount of cruises on Carnival Cruise Line such as the Eastern Caribbean, Southern Caribbean, Ensenada, and most recently the Mexican Riviera. Our journey on the Carnival Splendor begins in Long Beach, CA. From there one will start off with a fun day at sea where one can go into the pools and hot tubs, explore lots of restaurants with many different cuisines, and explore activities. Then we arrive at Cabo San Lucas, where one could check out the touristy town full of bars and restaurants as well as shopping. I checked out Lovers Beach, which is one of the best beaches in Cabo close to the Arc. One can also snorkel and see fish and crabs play on the rocks.</div>

If one wants to get a feel for a real Mexican beach town that feels less American, the cruise stops the next day at Mazatlán. On this port, one should take a city tour where one can see some of the architecture statues, cliff divers, and check out this little town, which feels more authentically Mexican than a tourist town.</div>

For those who want a mix of both America and Mexico, one would like to explore the final port Puerto Vallarta. There's beach life, Mexican culture, zip-lining, and shopping in town. Something I would recommend would be a city tour, which also allows an hour of shopping and photo opportunities at the Art Walk. If one is a big drinker, the tour offers a tasting at a tequila factory, which includes chocolate, vanilla, and coffee tequila. They all taste great for those who want to drink but don't love the taste of alcohol. The beach is also walking distance from the cruise ships at the resorts.</div>

The ship's crew really try their best to make the ship a lot of fun. This ship has a lot of food choices, such as burgers, a 24-hour pizzeria, a deli for those who like grilled cheese, and room service. There's always entertainment that would WOW music and production fans such as those who love Hasbro, as many of the productions are based on the games, as well as music from Queen and Freddie Mercury, Elton John, and Billy Joel. The productions take us back to life in the '70s and '80s with music and costumes. There are also movies on deck at night. If one wants to game and relive The Hangover, of course there's a casino onboard. There are a lot of activities to please all audiences on Carnival Splendor.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: 18.06px;"> On a Carnival cruises, they do more or less the same stuff on each cruise. They typically have a lot of pools and hot tubs for anyone who loves to swim. There is always entertainment such as shows and stand-up comedy featuring comedians who've performed with famous comedians. One can meet people from different parts of the country and build everlasting relationships. Families can see characters such as the Dr. Seuss' Guys and Mr. Potato Head. There's dancing and partying. Also there are people who go on a limb and get hammered. Most Carnival cruises feature the same material, but there is something for everyone.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.06px;"> Why go on a Carnival cruise? There are several reasons. It seems to be the best value for the money. There also are many different types of destinations that Carnival offers, from just a port that one would choose not to get off at, to weekend getaways, family beach vacations, and that fancy trip around the Mediterranean. One has something to look forward to on these fun ships.</span></div>

From the moment you enter, one can take a picture with Bumblebee as they were promoting the new movie coming out. A very cool car that actually is a motorcycle is the Slingshot. I feel it's a combination of a motorcycle and a car because it doesn't feel like a motorcycle but doesn't look like a car. Let's explore some of the awesome cars in the first exhibit. The first exhibit features both the car models I had: Honda and Nissan. If you're a current Honda owner like myself, there's a lounge where you can hang and charge your phone. All the cars talk about their MPG, gas mileage, how much you could save in gas per year, costs, etc. Other types of cars this level had were Fords and Kias. You could test-drive a Kia and get a $10 Amazon gift card.</span><br />

I think it's impressive to see all the different cars Galpin has and to see how it has a history of being in business and has a story different than just a typical car dealership. I like knowing how the business has evolved since its inception in 1946. Frank Galpin opened up the dealership in San Fernando and the showroom had three different models and sold 46 cars in the first year. The Galpin Ford Convertible was created in 1952. Galpin's Shaggy Dog became the mascot in 1958. In 1961, Galpin created a NASCAR racing team for the west coast. Galpin Ford loves to show its history and evolution to those who visit the car show. It makes me wish more dealerships actually catered more to customers rather than sales since there is a true story that makes the dealership special.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.06px;"> If one wants to see luxury vehicles, then one should go to the South Hall at the end of the Los Angeles Convention Center. The first cars one would see are the different types of Toyotas from the low-end to the high-end models. The Toyota Corporate Office comes in to talk about the benefits of having a Toyota. Now let's talk about the higher-end vehicles that look really amazing. Some of these cars include Jaguar, Lincoln, BMW, Lexus, Chevrolet, Acura, and Mercedes-Benz. If one wants to look at nice cars all in one place, this is the place to check out. I think that this is a must-see for those who like to look at cars and know what each type of car contains. I can't wait for next year's car show to see how these models evolve.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.06px;"> At the end of the Convention Center, there is an exhibit called The Garage. This exhibit shows a lot of vintage cars that have been worked on and updated. These cars get customized to look awesome. One example is a truck that is branded with the Monster logo from the beverage brand. </span><span style="font-size: 18.06px;">The vintage cars are a great thing to check out as you exit the show.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.06px;"> Thank you for exploring the Los Angeles Auto Show with me and reading about my journey. This is a fun and interesting event to check out if one happens to be in Los Angeles before or after Thanksgiving. If one wants to go to the car show on the weekdays, there is a $3 discount. They even give tours and open up early for an additional fee. Next year's show starts on November 22 and ends on December 1.

One reason is the warm and lively beach weather. Much better than spending it in some East Coast city. Fireworks explode over both Waikiki Beach and Aloha Tower Marketplace. This is an excellent place for families to visit for New Year's. An excellent New Year's event is The Kaka'ako Waterfront Park, which contains a beer garden, carnival rides, food trucks, and a lot of entertainment. This city is also a nice place to lie on the beach to deal with a hangover.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">This divided city from West Los Angeles, Downtown LA, Hollywood, San Fernando Valley, has a lot to offer on a reasonable budget. Some of the events include black-tie affairs, street parties, and all-night clubbers. One way to do it would be to buy a club package, which allows access to multiple clubs. Some big events in Los Angeles include Cleopatra's New Year's Eve Bowl at the Egyptian Theater, which has a DJ playing the newest releases, LED light show, and a balloon drop. A free event that one should do is Grand Park, which has entertainment and food among the streets. Both Grand Park and Hollywood are accessible by Metro stops.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are lots of things to do in the Windy City, including dinner parties, firework cruises, and family-friendly events. One should explore Navy Pier to see an amazing firework show that bursts over Lake Michigan. A fun place for mingling and dancing is the Chicago Resolution Gala. That is the highlight for New Year's in Chicago, containing 30 bars, buffet stations, and access to the Grand Ballroom and Lakeview Terrace. Another excellent activity would be to go to one of the hotels for one of their parties.</div>

All traffic shuts down and the strip transforms into a big block party. At midnight, the casinos put on a firework show that makes Times Square look bad. Party goers dance the night away. The Skylofts at the MGM Grand give one a superb view of the strip during this party season.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">This is the destination of all destinations to visit for New Year's Eve. People head to Times Square to watch the ball drop, and all the networks play New Year's there. There are over 100,000 places to drink and ring in the new year. Many people brave up for Times Square and purchase a party pass for open bars. Other amazing activities for New Year's include STK Rooftop, where a DJ spins the hottest tracks and the bar overlooks the Hudson River. Or Monarch Rooftop Lounge, which offers a view of the Empire State Building. No matter what you do in the Big Apple, it will be epic.</span><br />

This isolated country in Europe contains amazing landscapes and liquid-green aurora borealis illuminate the nighttime. There are statues of the 12 yule lads, which is the equivalent of Santa Claus, all around the city. One restaurant to visit would be the seafood restaurant Vid Tjornina to eat Icelandic cuisine.</span></div>

The Santa Barbara County coastal cities combine New England-style charm with California elegance with holiday touch. In the town of Montecito, the San Ysidro ranch is the equivalent of a Vermont hunting lodge, but just 20 minutes from the beach. One place to have a drink is the Summerland Winery.</span></div>

Some Christmas activities include Beacon Hill streets covered in snow and 'Believe in Ghosts' at Harvard's Sanders Theater. If one wants to warm up during the cold winter, XV Beacon Hotel is perfect because there's a gas fireplace in every room. One place to eat is No. 9 Park, which showcases French and Italian cuisine, as well as rich desserts and artisanal cheeses.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.06px;"> Durango: I'm going to be honest, I had never heard of this town in Colorado until I did my research for this project. This mountain town serves up an old-fashioned holiday without being in Aspen. In this amazing Christmas town, one can explore Pueblo dwellings, go skiing, or have rum at a western saloon. The Rochester Hotel explores Durango's cinematic past and each of the rooms plays a 15-minute Mexican heritage short. One can have a meal at Ken & Sue's. After learning about this place, it makes me want to explore this town during Christmas.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.06px;"> Key West: We're now going to talk about a slightly different place, yet still a nice place to celebrate Christmas. Warmer temperatures, trimmed palm trees, done-up historical inns, and four festooned blocks around the waterfront add a different yet lively Christmas atmosphere. A good place to have an excellent Christmas dinner would be Nine One Five for a Victorian dinner experience.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.06px;"> After doing some research, I was able to find more places to celebrate Christmas that I normally wouldn't check out.

Maybe one day I'll check out some of these destinations, but for now I will let you do the exploring and get back to me.</span></div>

<b>HARRODS LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM</b><br />
<b><br /></b> <span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a;">Well if one is in jolly old London, particularly around the holiday season, a good place to visit would be Harrods. This department store was started by Charles Henry Harrod when he was 25 years old. It has evolved into a big brand in the last 200 years. WOW! It now consists of 330 departments such as clothing, electronics, and jewelry. This place is the place to go to find all your appliances from a reputable company in London. During the festive season, it's transformed into a wintry wonderland, replete with Christmas decorations inside and out and in the windows. Visitors can also visit Father Christmas and the Christmas Grotto Area.</span></span><br />

<b>THE GROVE LOS ANGELES, CA</b><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #26282a;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">For the last and final mall, we're going to talk about my favorite mall to visit during the holiday season, The Grove in Los Angeles, CA. From the Farmers Market to CBS to 3rd Street, this central location is an excellent place for any mall. Let me explain why this mall takes the cake compared to any other mall in Los Angeles and why I do it every year. The beautiful scenery, from seeing Santa and his house to the beautiful Christmas tree and lights, are enough to WOW you all. This is a great place for families to start their holiday season. If one doesn't want to endure traffic, one can take the 217 bus from Hollywood/Highland and save time as well as money. You can even go to Los Angeles County Museum of Art or the La Brea Tar Pits Museum if time allows.<br /> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #26282a;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> There are a lot of reasons to check out malls during the holidays, from big trees to shopping to bright, colored lights and even Santa for all ages. If you're an adult and want to believe in Santa, enjoy sitting on his lap. I look forward to sharing more adventures about the holidays and more with you soon.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">Hi everyone! It's Stephen </span><span class="yiv7233372283gmail-il" style="font-family: New;">Gaiber</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">: The Autistic Traveler here again. Today I am going to wish you a happy Halloween for your trick or treating and candy eating. For my first time, I figured I'd go to Universal Studios: Halloween Horror Nights. Let me tell you, it's a lot of fun. From mazes of some of your favorite movies, to seeing Halloween props, to being chased around by all the horror creatures, what a fun night. This is definitely an event one should check out this Halloween.</span></div>

The first Halloween Horror Nights started in 1991 at Universal Studios in Florida, then expanded to Hollywood in 1997, then to Singapore in 2011, to finally Japan in 2012. Universal Studios had horror events before Halloween Horror Nights and in 1986 had an actual tram tour. I went on the tram and had a lot of fun seeing all the Halloween props and characters popping up and running around with chainsaws and I loved their makeup. The theme for this year's Horror Nights was True Fear Comes From Within. Their attractions include The Walking Dead, Stranger Things, Trick R' Treat, The First Purge, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, The Horrors of Blumhouse, and Universal Monsters. Some of the mazes I liked and felt that the characters and props did a good job being creepy and looking scary, while others I wasn't a fan of.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: New; margin: 0px;">
Some of my favorite mazes and attractions include the Universal Monsters and the Terror Tram. The Universal Monsters was basically, as the title suggests, all the Universal Monsters coming in and scaring you when you are walking around the room full of blood and props. Those props can include sets from the movies. The way that the mazes work are you walk around with a bunch of people and you check out all the rooms in the maze. The blood on the floor and set pieces get YOU to wonder what happened. This was my favorite maze because of all the monsters that one sees and how YOU feel that YOU are part of that maze by seeing what happens.</div>
<div class="yiv7233372283gmail-m_5759831202300092172ydp9736fe12separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: New;">

My second favorite part of Halloween Horror Nights was the Terror Tram. This ride is basically like the Universal Studios Tour. It drops YOU off to the studio backlot and those parts of the tour become a bloody mess full of scares. In the backlot, YOU see the plane from War Of The Worlds and the Psycho House. Horrible killer clowns and bloody butchers come in and sneak up from behind you to make you feel uncomfortable as other characters come around to cause a fright by popping out of nowhere. This is definitely a part of Horror Nights YOU don't want to miss and it's a good idea to do this first because it closes earlier than other parts of Halloween Horror Nights.</div>
<div class="yiv7233372283gmail-m_5759831202300092172ydp9736fe12separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: New;">

Other mazes I liked were the Trick R' Treat and The First Purge. They both contain characters and props from the movies. They are pretty much the same as the other mazes with characters popping out of nowhere and waiting for the right moment to appear. I enjoyed them because of how I enjoyed the set pieces and had a lot of fun. Those are worth waiting in line for.</div>

Two very timely mazes include Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers and Stranger Things. I luckily was able to use my disability pass, which allows one to avoid waiting in line for anything over 30 minutes, for both of those mazes. The line for Stranger Things was 110 minutes when I came back for my return time. They are timely because of the new Halloween movie and people love Stranger Things right now. I feel the Halloween maze was just ok. It lacked the scares or creativity that other mazes had. I have only started watching Stranger Things now, so I didn't know what I was getting into when I entered the maze. It was nothing exciting, but it did show some props from the show as well as the children were terrified by the creepy monster. Both mazes, of course, did the props and scary monsters popping out of nowhere. While I can't say both mazes were terrible, I liked other mazes such as the Universal Monsters, the Terror Tram, Trick R' Treat, and The First Purge.<br />
<br />
Overall I had a really fun time at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. It was really nice to see all the Halloween props for the night. Be prepared to wait in long lines though. Because the lines were so long, I was not able to check out the Poltergeist and Walking Dead maze. This would definitely be something worth doing for adults on Halloween instead of trick-or-treating. I look forward to doing another Halloween event next year and sharing it with YOU.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">Greetings audience! This is Stephen Gaiber: The Autistic Traveler and right now I am going to discuss part II of my Asia Disneyland trip by talking about both Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea. First let me tell you that the Disability Assistance Card is harder to use in Tokyo than Disneyland or Disneyworld or even Shanghai Disneyland as a lot of people in Japan don't speak English and I had a hard time communicating with them particularly for the Monsters Inc: Ride and Go Seek. They also ask what type of disability you have and because of how hard it is for them to understand it can be hard for them to know that it's just difficult for you to wait in line. They mistook my difficulty of waiting in line and thought I needed someone to go on the rides with me. It's not as disabled friendly as the other Disney parks and it can be exceptionally annoying to show proof of disability, which is not even legal in the U.S. Also the technology isn't great because there's no wi-fi in the park and the app is only for those with a Japanese cell phone. It also is exceptionally crowded. Despite these setbacks, it's a big and fun park with a lot to see.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">
The park is currently doing a lot for its 35th anniversary and advertising it throughout the park. It opened on April 13, 1983. It has a lot of things that Disneyland and Magic Kingdom have to offer such as World Bazaar, which is the equivalent of Main Street U.S.A., Adventureland, Westernland, Critter Country, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and Toontown. There are a lot of rides that, despite being similar to those at other theme parks I've enjoyed, I can't wait to tell you about.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">I am now going to talk about the rides and attractions at Tokyo Disneyland that I enjoyed. I liked It's A Small World. For those who don't know, it's a boat ride that shows people from all different countries as well as diversity. In Tokyo Disneyland it also shows characters from different Disney movies, such as Lilo and Stitch, Frozen, Finding Nemo and Dory, and Moana. This ride is a lot of fun and the song "It's A Small World After All" is extremely catchy. You can find the ride in Tomorrowland.</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> Another one of my favorite rides is Pirates of the Caribbean. Unlike the one at Shanghai Disneyland, this is the same experience like the one at Disneyland and Magic Kingdom. It's a boat ride that shows pirates robbing and causing trouble. Throughout the years, they've updated the ride to match the movies, so there are Captain Jack Sparrow and Barbosa and the dog with the keys in the jail scene. This ride is a lot of fun. Another ride that is a lot of fun is Jungle Cruise. It's another boat ride with animatronic animals that act like actual animals, such as hippos and elephants. It also shows Indians. This is a wonderful ride to explore a fictitious jungle.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> I also really enjoyed Tom Sawyer's Island, which is a little island where one would have to take a boat to. It's a land full of wonder and exploration where one can take a wonderful walk and site-see what's around the island. I hope one would go exploring there. Even though the attractions are very similar to Disneyland and Magic Kingdom, one would still have fun seeing them at Tokyo Disneyland.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">It wouldn't be a time at the Disney parks without seeing entertainment, parades, and fireworks, especially for the 35th anniversary. There is an amazing daytime parade called Dreaming Up! The parade features all types of Disney characters celebrating the 35th anniversary. Those characters include Aladdin and Jasmine, Beauty and the Beast, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Pinocchio, and Big Hero 6, as well as many others. This is a fun activity midday to check out and be reminded of what makes Disney so amazing. The best way to end the evening is to check out the nighttime celebration Celebrate! Tokyo Disneyland. It shows all the wonders and attractions of Tokyo Disneyland and how it has grown and expanded throughout the years. It ends with fireworks.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">Well, let's now talk about the second Disney park at Tokyo Disney, Tokyo DisneySea. This park opened on September 4, 2001. Let me give you the summary: While I did like the park, I felt it didn't capture the magic of the other Disney parks I have been to. The only two parks I like this better than are California Adventure and Hong Kong Disneyland. I do think it's beautifully scenic and has a lot to offer, such as the canals that represent Venice, the Aztecs from Chichen Itza, and a volcano. It has a lot of Disney attractions, such as Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror, Toy Story Mania, and Indiana Jones: The Temple of the Crystal Skull. There are also some different rides, such as Sinbad's Storybook Adventure, Raging Rapids, Nemo and Friends SeaRider, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and Journey to the Center of the Earth. This park displays all the water and ocean scene of all the parts of the world.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">Well, it wouldn't be a Disney park without meeting some characters and some entertainment. Some of the characters I met include Jafar and Frollo. The Disney parks were prepping for Halloween a month and a half early since they were advertising all the villains. One show to check out would be Happiest Celebration on the Sea to celebrate Tokyo Disney Resort's 35th Anniversary. It was a fun visual boat show lasting 10 minutes. Unfortunately, due to rain, Fantasmic was canceled so I can't compare it to the one at Hollywood Studios.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">The main shopping center for the Tokyo Disney Resort is Ikspiari. It's the equivalent of Downtown Disney in Anaheim or Disney Springs in Orlando or Disneytown in Shanghai. Let me tell you, it doesn't feel like a Disney shopping center like the ones in Anaheim, Orlando, or Shanghai</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">. It has restaurants such as Outback Steakhouse and TGI Fridays; it however doesn't have a lot of Japanese restaurants. It has a Disney store and a movie theater. The hotels that are in the Tokyo Disney Resort include Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, Disney Ambassador Hotel (in the Ikspiari shopping center), Tokyo DisneySea MiraCosta (located right outside DisneySea and you can see DisneySea from outside your resort), and Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel. These hotels are OK but aren't as focused on the Disney theme as other Disney hotels are. Also a heads-up: Unlike the other Disney resorts, the monorail here isn't free.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">Overall I did like the Disney parks in both Shanghai and Tokyo. I felt Shanghai was the best with it being excellent visually and more original than the other Disney parks in Asia, but the rides were hit or miss. I felt Tokyo Disneyland was fun and big, but felt like a copycat of Disneyland in Anaheim. Tokyo DisneySea was visually scenic but didn't feel like a Disney park. Both were better than Hong Kong Disneyland. If one happens to be in both Shanghai and Tokyo for an extended period of time and is a Disney fan, one should definitely check them both out. The difference between Disneyworld and other Disney parks is that the Walt Disney World Resort feels like a big city, whereas the others feel like just a theme park. I look forward to potentially going to the one in Paris next summer and look forward to sharing my new adventures with YOU.</span>Stephen Gaiber The Autistic Travelerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14311923261077652336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3358099260737769452.post-57924254246196743442018-10-07T08:06:00.000-07:002018-10-07T08:06:00.059-07:00Shanghai Disneyland<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">
Greetings audience! It's Stephen Gaiber: The Autistic Traveler. Earlier in September, I had the pleasure of going to Asia. However instead of exploring the jungles of Thailand, exploring where the Vietnam War took place, seeing the Great Wall of China, seeing the Hong Kong Harbor, or going to a geisha house in Tokyo, I went to three Disneyland Parks. That's right, I went to Shanghai Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland, and Tokyo Disneysea. For this blog, I will be focusing on Shanghai Disneyland and the next blog will be about the Tokyo Disney parks. Let's first talk about the history and what led up to this park's construction.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">
<br /></div>

In November 2009, the Chinese government approved of the resort and on November 5, 2010, the Walt Disney Company made a deal with Shanghai Shendi Group to build the park. Disney owns 43% of the property, while 57% is owned by Shanghai Shendi. The park had a soft opening on May 7, 2016 and had its grand opening on June 16, 2016. The park consists of lands such as Adventure Isle and Treasure Cove, which were my two favorite aspects of the park, as well as Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Mickey Ave., which is the equivalents to our Main Street U.S.A., Gardens of Imagination, and the new Toy Story Land.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">One of the best parts about the park is Adventure Isle. I feel that this is a fun and visual part and feels different than just a typical Disney park. It has many attractions such as Soaring (also at Epcot and California Adventure), Roaring Rapids (also at Animal Kingdom), and many others. The architecture of the land feels like you're entering a world full of adventure. A unique part of the land is Camp Discovery. In this exhibit one gets to do a rope course and it feels like you're going on a journey because at times there are zip lines and obstacle courses. This is a unique experience and you won't feel that you're at Disneyland. Another good part of Adventure Isle is Explorer Canoes, a ride in between Adventure Isle and Treasure Cove.</span><br />

Another great visual land of Shanghai Disneyland is Treasure Cove. It's based off the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. As most of you know the first Pirates of the Caribbean is one of my favorite movies. Its another visually stunning part of the park with all the pirate ships. It WOWED me to look at the ships and it felt like I was on a pirate island. The main attraction is Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure, which is a must do for any Pirates fan. This ride has a lot of the characters from the film series and doesn't feel like the usual Pirates of the Caribbean ride at most Disney parks. The Eye of the Storm: Captain Jack Sparrow Stunt Spectacular is another fantastic show at Treasure Cove. It's a stunt show featuring Jack Sparrow causing trouble and him weaseling himself out of by saying silly catch phrases and stunts. It truly is a lot of fun and the best show at Shanghai Disneyland. If one wants a Pirate's life and wants to explore their life, then Treasure Cove is the best place to shiver thee timbers.<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">The rest of Shanghai Disneyland consists of Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Gardens of Imagination, and Toy Story Land. I am now going to discuss what else I liked about the park. My second-favorite ride was the Voyage of the Crystal Grotto. This fabulous boat ride gives one a tour around Fantasyland showing many Disney statues such as Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Fantasia, and The Little Mermaid. This was an excellent ride to see all the Disney wonders that made your childhood awesome. Marvel Universe is a must-go if one is a Marvel fan and wants to meet awesome characters such as Captain America or Peter Quill. The Toy Story Land feels awesome with all the statues of Woody, Buzz, Rex, and Mr. Potato Head. If one plans on spending the whole day at Shanghai Disneyland, you should stay and watch Ignite The Dream: A Nighttime Spectacular of Magic and Light. This nighttime show shows many clips of Disney movies as well as Disney songs and fireworks.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">If one wants to take a break from the park and still feel some Disney magic, Disneytown is right outside the park. It consists of restaurants such as Cheesecake Factory and Wolfgang Puck. It also has Disney and Lego stores. It's a miniature version of Downtown Disney in Anaheim and Disney Springs in Lake Buena Vista. One can spend a short amount of time and have fun. There are also two resorts: Shanghai Disneyland Hotel, which looks like a giant mansion, and Toy Story Hotel, which is based on the Toy Story movies. They are fun to look at but don't focus on themes like the Disneyworld resorts.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: New; font-size: small;"> Overall I did like Shanghai Disneyland. I don't think it has the same feel as Walt Disney World as I feel that is the real Disney vacation. I do think it's a visual delight. Other than the Pirates of the Caribbean and Voyage of the Crystal Grotto, the other rides were hit or miss. If one has a disability and wants to not wait in line, one can get Disability Card, which allows you to get a return time to come back for the ride and not wait in line. If one is in Shanghai for an extended period of time and likes Disney, this is the park to check out.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">Greetings audience! It's Stephen Gaiber: The Autistic Traveler again. Today we're going to talk about a trip I made to the Autry Museum of the American West. I went on a Tuesday, and the second Tuesday of every month is free. There was recently a remodel, after which the center has expanded and become better than ever. This museum explores the world of the wild wild west and what makes it so special</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">The first exhibit I'm going to talk about is Rick Bartow: Things You Know But Can't Explain. Bartow started his career in art after serving in Vietnam and recovering from PTSD and alcoholism. Kind of like American Sniper and Thank You For Your Service. I think it's amazing that people find passions during rough and stressful times. I've been through periods of stress and things that have gotten me through them are movies, trips and even work at times. Some of Bartow's works include large-scale paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures. These types of art combine haunting combinations of animal and art. I encourage you to explore this unique artist's body of work, but come before January 6 or it will be gone.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">My favorite exhibit to check out was La Raza. This exhibit is very timely, especially in this time for immigrants in this country. This exhibit displays all the struggles of being an immigrant, particularly from Latin America and Mexico, and all the protesting they had to do for their rights. The bilingual newspaper La Raza gave a voice to the Chicano movement. It showed how they are stronger together and how important it is to fight as a team. An interesting fact is that The Race photographers are not only journalist but artists capturing the Chicano movement. These pictures are a powerful tool for political activism. I love this exhibit because of how it shows the history and fights of the Chicanos even today, and how all groups of people have had to fight for their rights and defeat oppression. See this exhibit ASAP, before it leaves on January 10.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">One of the best permanent exhibits is Art of the West. This exhibit includes works that display how life was portrayed in the west. It also includes old movie stars who portray the west such as John Wayne. This exhibit speaks of the west as both a home and a destination. It deals with three primary themes: Religion and Ritual, Land and Landscape, and Migration and Movement. I think this is an interesting exhibit because it shows how life was portrayed in the wild west and all the different parts of the west.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">Another permanent exhibit I liked was Western Frontiers: Stories of Fact and Fiction. This exhibit focuses on guns. I like seeing all different types of guns because I like action movies. This exhibit showcases the roles that guns have played in the west. Guns have been used for hunting and trapping, the conservation movement and popular culture in the west. This exhibit would be great for those gun lovers or even those who just like to look at guns.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;"> I think that if one is at Griffith Park, one should go visit the zoo and the Autry Museum. I am impressed with the expansion at Griffith Park and feel it made the museum more interesting. When I visited years ago, the museum was small to the point of feeling forgettable, but now it's easy to spend hours there.

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">
Greetings audience! It's Stephen Gaiber: The Autistic Traveler again. This blog will be about something completely different than travel. On Saturday, September 15, 2018, I went to an excellent dinner fighting for those with disabilities. I went to the FDR Dinner for the Disability Rights Legal Center. It was an amazing event. There were three different awards and I'm going to discuss them and what they represent. The three awards presented include Vanguard Award, Chuck Siegal President's Award, and Dream Award.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">
A lot of different people and companies come in and discuss how they help people with disabilities. My two mentors -- Keri Bowers, who is head of The Art of Autism, and Tom Iland, who wrote the book Come To Live -- were there to sell their services. Starbucks managers from West Los Angeles were there to discuss how they hire those with disabilities. Exceptional Minds, an animation and visual effects school in Sherman Oaks, attended the event. Elaine Hall aka Coach E and Julia Moss came in and promoted the amazing Miracle Project. I might potentially be part of that program in the coming months.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">
The first award given was the Vanguard Award, which was presented by The American Cancer Association. This award was presented in the Disability Rights Legal Center fight to help those who are battling cancer. Battling cancer takes a toll on your life from employment to battling insurance to getting the life-saving treatment necessary. The Disability Rights Legal Center goes out of its way to make sure people get the legal support they need and sue whomever to get those rights. This award is a great honor for the American Cancer Society because of what they do to fight cancer. The speech was amazing.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;"> The next award is a significant award for both the disabled and film communities. The Ruderman Family Foundation presented Chuck Siegal President's Award. This award is presented for displaying disability in film. The example they referenced was Dwayne Johnson having a fake leg in the movie Skyscraper. This award spotlights characters with different abilities and their inclusion in entertainment. I hope that they bring up shows like The Good Doctor or Atypical -- both dealing with autism -- for the next award ceremony.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: New; margin: 0px;">
The best part of the night was the Dream Award, which was presented by Scott Silveri, the creator of Speechless. Micah Fowler, who plays J.J. in the show and also has cerebral palsy, and Cedric Yarbrough, who plays Kenneth, gave the speech in honor of Scott. Scott gave an amazing speech about how disabilities have had an impact on his life. The example he brought up was his brother, who had cerebral palsy and was mistreated in a home. He died at the age of 41 due to lack of care. Scott talked about how he made it his mission to help those with disabilities, including by creating the show Speechless, which is about a family who work to help their disabled son J.J. I liked the first two seasons, and season three is coming up in a couple weeks. Also, Coby Bird, who made cameos in episodes of Speechless and The Good Doctor, was in the audience. What an excellent way to end the award ceremony.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: New; margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: New; margin: 0px;">
The night concluded with the director giving an amazing speech about how history repeats itself and what the direction of our country is. I felt this was an amazing award ceremony and I am glad that I got to write a piece for them. These groups of lawyers really go out of their way to help those with disabilities achieve their potential and fight to sue whomever they need to. Hopefully I will be able to attend the award ceremony next year.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">Happy Labor Day, audience. This is a very important blog post because some people might want to think about getaways for Labor Day. After all, it is a nice time to have those last-minute celebrations. Do something before going back to school (if you haven't started already), a weekend off from work, or because you CAN. Here are 5 top destinations for your Labor Day holiday.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">1. New Orleans</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">This is a great holiday destination, particularly if you live near the South. It's a year-round party destination. Some of the highlights include nightlife, jazz, history, and food. Labor Day will be a particularly busy weekend due to people visiting from all over to join its parties, parade, and Southern Decadence events. It's also LGBT-friendly. Let's hop off and have a party in the city of jazz.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Lake Tahoe</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;"> This is the largest alpine lake in California and one of the most beautiful. It goes into both California and Nevada, and it has waters that look as blue as the Caribbean Sea. One reason this is an excellent Labor Day destination is that it's still summertime, but not exceptionally hot. This makes Lake Tahoe ideal for swimming. There's also a fireworks event over the lake after dusk. If one wants to go somewhere far but still driving distance from L.A. or San Francisco, this would be a great getaway.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">3. Charleston</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;">What a coincidence, I went here last year the day after Labor Day during Hurricane Irma. It's a charming city with Southern hospitality. Charleston is great for water lovers with some of the best beaches on the east coast. It's a shame that Hurricane Irma didn't allow me to explore Myrtle Beach, but that's a different story. Some of the popular things to do on Labor Day weekend include the annual Lowcountry Jazz Festival, the festive farmers market, and sunset cruises around the harbor. This beautiful city won't let you down and if you feel like it, take a horse carriage ride around the city.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;"> This small destination has a lot to offer and if you live in the west, this is an excellent place for a getaway. This is a place sacred to Native Americans, and visitors come for the healing energy, the amazing red-rock scenery, and multiple recreational activities. For those who like and believe in meditation, this is an excellent place to do some breathing exercises and take a tour with a native guide. Other activities include a scenic hike, spa treatments, hitting the back roads, as well as browsing galleries and boutiques.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "new";">Greetings audience! It's Stephen Gaiber: The Autistic Traveler, and in this blog we're going to discuss my most recent getaway to San Diego. It's a well-known city in way south of California. I think San Diego has a lot to offer, such as theme parks (SeaWorld and Legoland in Carlsbad), Balboa Park and its museums, activities in downtown such as the Gaslamp district and the USS Midway, beaches such as La Jolla, Pacific and Mission Beach, and lots of activities for everyone. My personal opinion is that if you're looking for many tourist attractions paired with activities for the entire family, San Diego is your best choice. Now let's talk about some of the history of San Diego.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "new";">Alonzo Erastus Horton got off a San Francisco streamer and strolled ashore in 1867. He was a worldwide traveler such as myself and felt that he had never saw anything more pretty. Though he wasn't nearly the first person to visit San Diego, he was the biggest real estate influence in San Diego. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "droid serif" , serif; font-size: 16px;">Alonzo Horton had a lot of influence in making San Diego what it is today, such as by creating jobs that helped stimulate tourism in San Diego. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "new";">Centuries earlier, the area had belonged to the Southern California costal region's first Americans, known as San Dieguitos. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "droid serif" , serif; font-size: 16px;">The San Dieguitos were descended from Asians that crossed the land bridge in the Bering Strait in search of game, and from others who moved over the Sierra Nevadas and down the Pacific slope. Not unlike the modern Californians, they always found the best places to live. Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was the first European to come, not to colonize San Diego but to find a northwest passage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. I feel very inspired by a lot of the people who made San Diego what it is today, especially Horton since we both love to travel around the world, dream a lot, and make our dreams a reality when we find something we're passionate about. This is some of the brief history -- for more information, please visit <a href="http://www.sandiegomagazine.com/San-Diego-Magazine/San-Diego-Covered/San-Diego-History/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #196ad4;" target="_blank">http://www.sandiegomagazine.com/San-Diego-Magazine/San-Diego-Covered/San-Diego-History/</a>.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "droid serif" , serif; font-size: 16px;"> For those interested in saving money and still do the activities they want to do, one should explore the Go San Diego Card. I've talked about activity savings cards before, so I'll just elaberate on the Go San Diego Card. It's pretty much an all inclusive activity pass, where you can do as many activities as one can go to. One can do activities all around San Diego County. Those activities include the musuems at Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo, Belmont Park, Birch Aquarium, Legoland, San Diego Harbor Cruise, Legoland, Petco Park Tour, USS Midway Museum, San Diego Zoo Safari Park as well as many others. If one decides to get the 3, 5, or 7 day pass, they can get a premium attraction such as Seaworld, 3 Day Hop On and Hop Off Trolly, and Speed Boat Adventures. If YOU decide to leave San Diego and explore Orange County or Hollywood, some of the attractions included are Knotts Berry Farm, Knotts Soak City, a Whale Watching and Dolphin Cruise, Hollywood Museum, and Tour of the Dolby Theater. This is an excellent pass for those who want an all inclusive pass.

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: droid serif, serif;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px;">One of the most notable parts of San Diego is Balboa Park, which has beautiful architecture as well as many different museums. I feel it's an excellent park that one can explore for the entire day, and it's also very close to Downtown San Diego. Some of the museums in Balboa Park include the Museum of Man, San Diego Museum of Art, San Diego Natural History Museum, and many others. They are plentiful, but very small and easy to do. It's easy to spend less than 30 minutes in each museum. My favorite is the art museum because of how nice the art looks. The most famous part of Balboa Park is the San Diego Zoo. The zoo hosts 3,700 animals across 650 species. The zoo has expanded throughout the years, including with the Panda Trek in 2017, which can require patience due to long lines. Other exhibits in the zoo include Elephant Odyssey, Gorilla Tropics, Outback, and African Rocks, which opened last summer. I even hung with King Julien from Madagascar, who likes to "move it, move it." Also feel free to take a gondola from one part of the zoo to the other. If you are a zoo lover, this is a zoo you should check out. Please visit my video about the San Diego Zoo at </span><span style="font-family: serif;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4CLOI0jXOI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4CLOI0jXOI</a></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px;"> Well, San Diego is an excellent place to go for tourism, museums, the beach, and more. It's a big county with a lot to see from north to south to east to west. If you are an active person, you should get the Go San Diego Card. I hope you will experience why San Diego is a unique place to visit, and I look forward to sharing more adventures with YOU soon.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "new"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Greetings audience! Today I am going to discuss my annual Vegas getaway and talk about things that you may or may not be aware of. Most of us know about or have been to Las Vegas, especially coming from Los Angeles. Today I am going to discuss the history of the strip, discuss my particular hotel and why I recommend it, and how Vegas keeps growing and expanding throughout the years.</span></div>
<div class="yiv4691213473MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div class="yiv4691213473MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "new"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> First, I'd like to tell you the cheapest and most affordable way I go to Vegas. The reason I started going to Vegas every year is because of the Megabus. You can either catch it from Los Angeles Union Station or Riverside Station. If you know the dates you want to go and book it from the minute tickets go on sale, you can get your tickets for as little as $1 each way. So with the booking fee currently, if I book from the minute it’s available, I can get the fare for $4.50 round trip. They also offer fares to San Francisco, San Jose, and Oakland. The bus ride consists of picking up passengers from Riverside and, at the bus driver’s discretion, a stop in Barstow. Then the bus goes straight to the Las Vegas South Strip Terminal. The ride can take from 4.5 to 7 hours, depending on traffic, but it beats driving yourself!

<span style="color: black; font-family: "new"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Las Vegas has a history of its own, full of resorts and vibrant lights that make it more unique than other cities. I mean, who could dream of many countries with their distinct symbols -- such as the Pharaoh in Luxor, Excalibur’s Castle, the Empire State Building, the MGM Lion, and flamingos -- all within a three-mile radius. This was what the visionaries of Vegas dreamed about when they saw three miles of desert road. These visionaries kept on pursing their dreams of making the strip a reality. It came with much criticism and laughs along the way, since no one believed in them. They inspire all of us, myself included, to follow our dreams no matter what anyone else thinks.</span></div>
<div class="yiv4691213473MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div class="yiv4691213473MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "new"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Let’s talk about how the strip has expanded over the years. On April 3, 1941, the El Rancho Las Vegas opened up with 63 rooms and in 2004 became a Hilton timeshare. The famous Flamingo Hotel was the third hotel that opened up, with 105 rooms on December 26, 1946 -- what a fascinating post-Christmas present. On November 1, 1979, Imperial Palace was created and became the Linq area, which we will discuss when I talk about how the strip has grown. I felt that learning about the history of the strip was fascinating and I learned so much about one of the biggest casino destinations in the world.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "new"; font-size: 18px;"> Now I am going to talk about the hotel I stayed in on this trip to Vegas. It's the Royal Resort. It's a no-thrills hotel behind the Encore Hotel and near the convention center. It’s not in the most central location but still accessible to a lot of the strip action, especially if one takes the bus. It has late-night pool hours for those who like to swim and don't want to be pressured into leaving the pool because of pool hours at the resorts. The best part about this hotel is that there are, at least as of now, no resort fees. Most of us who've been to Vegas know the pain in our wallets that resort fees can cause and how there's no way around them, even when staying at non-resort or non-strip hotels. This hotel doesn't have a casino, but with all the hotels within walking distance, there's no need to worry. For those who just don't care about staying at a fancy resort with resort fees, this is an excellent place to explore. You won't regret staying here. I just wish they offered breakfast, even if it was $10 more a night. I might stay here every year if the price is right.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "new"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Well audience, I can safely talk about one thing that keeps happening to the strip throughout time. The strip keeps on expanding for its tourism market. Some of the new additions are the T-Mobile Arena, the Linq, and the High Rollers Ferris Wheel. The High Rollers Ferris Wheel lets you explore the city from the sky, and the T-Mobile Arena hosts loads of events. The Linq area has an In-N-Out Burger, a Ghirardelli, an Irish Bar, as well as many great restaurants and a shopping area. Another nice place to check out, especially for Disney fans, is Magical Memories in the Forum Shops in Caesars Palace. It has art work representing scenes from many Disney movies and is definitely worth checking out for any die-hard Disney fan. The strip always is a changing environment, from a street in the middle of the desert to a family destination to an adult playground to a place that has something for everyone.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "new"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> So now YOU know how I feel about going to Vegas. There are lots of reasons that I in particular go every year, from the cheap bus ride to the lively resorts that make you feel like a kid again. Even though I'm not a big drinker or gambler, just walking the strip and checking out the hotels is enough reason to go to Vegas. I’m so excited to see this paradise just keep on growing.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;"> Greetings audience, this is Stephen Gaiber: The Autistic Traveler again, and today we are going to talk about a different subject. We are going to discuss Top Summer Destinations. For most of us who are out of school or looking for a break from work and haven't booked our summer trip, here are some ideas to consider while booking. Some types of vacations that people like to check out include beach, city, camping, theme park, and nature.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: New;"> A lot of people in the summer, especially those graduating high school or college, have plans to tour around Europe. One of the best summer destinations to visit is Paris, France. With many museums such as the Louvre, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, and even a Disneyland for Disney fans, there is a lot for the "city of love" to offer. There are many things that make Paris an amazing summer destination, such as July 14 aka French National Day or Bastille Day. This was the beginning of the French Revolution and storming of the Bastille. There's a parade and everything. There is also a pop-up beach near Paris with sand and umbrellas. Launched in 2002, the mini beach is known as the Paris Plages. This is a great way to get a tan without going to an actual beach. Some other summer activities include the Tour De France, rollerskating on the streets every Friday night, and a trip outside Paris to Chateau de Versailles. These are unique attractions that make Paris an exciting city.

We all think of going back east as going to big cities such as New York City, Boston, Washington D.C. or Philadelphia, or even historical walking tours about slavery and plantations. However if one is going back east, one should check out some lesser known destinations such as Lake George, New York, and Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. Let's first talk about Lake George. Located about 4 hours from New York City, it's dubbed the miniature golf capital of the world. Some of the attractions include swimming, fishing, cruising on the lake, hiking, and even zip-lining. This small town is worth checking out if you're into nature or if you're visiting New York and want a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. For more information, please visit <a href="https://www.visitlakegeorge.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #196ad4;" target="_blank">https://www.visitlakegeorge.com/</a>.</div>

<div class="yiv5227373196gmail-m_-6622239798086948374ydp62bbe08dseparator" style="clear: both;">
Another destination worth checking out is Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. Some of the highlights include the gingerbread-style houses and the famous lighthouse. This is a beautiful place for those who want to check out an island on the east coast, particularly those who want a break from Boston. There are many ways to get there, such as a ferry from Woods Hole, which you can get to by bus from Boston, or you can even take a ferry from New York. This would be a great day trip to escape the city, or an adventure for the entire weekend.

<span style="font-family: New;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: New;"> Another destination worth checking out in the summer is Alaska. As you may know, there are many cruises to Alaska out of Vancouver or Seattle, particularly in the summer months. This is why. Between May 10 and September 15, the days are long, the nature is beautiful, and the air is clear. On June 21, the longest day of the year, the sun in Anchorage is up for 19 hours, 20 hours in Fairbanks, and 18 hours in the southeast. Think of why that movie was called Insomnia with Al Pacino and the late great Robin Williams. Some of the activities in Alaska include Northern Lights tours, dog sledding, bear viewing, glacier tours, and many other nature attractions. There is a lot of beauty to check out in Alaska.
