Anybody ever used one of those Disney Dining notification services? Curious which ones you've used and what experience has been.

One of the reasons I love TRON as a franchise is that the first movie came out at a time when nobody understood what computers were or how they worked and the sequels have never let the fact that's changed impact the way computers work in its world

One of my best friends is a professor of philosophy who teaches courses on ethics. Talking to him is incredibly valuable to me.

Just a reminder that the REASON Trump wants the Peace Prize so bad is that Obama has one and he HATES Obama so much (for...reasons) that it drives him crazy that Obama has an award that he doesn't.

Yes, Disneyland and Walt Disney World continue to see price increases. Yes, the bottom-line price isn't cheap. At the end of the day, however, I still think it's "worth it." www.cinemablend.com/theme-parks/...

Disney's Raising Prices (Again). One Reason I Think The Costs Are Still Worth It

Disney World and Disneyland just got more expensive, but maybe don't cancel your trip yet.

True, this new Ramsey place is supposed to include "entertainment," which won't be enough to fix that issue on its own, but certainly won't hurt

Real Talk: I feel like we don't talk enough about the absolute glow up that Downtown Disney has seen over the last couple of years. Once Carnaby and the steakhouse/BBQ open, it's going to be incredible.

Gordon Ramsey, you have Michelin stars, restaurants all over the world, and you host like 200 TV shows. What are you going to do next?

He's going to Disneyland.

I WANT a President that uses the power of his office to investigate Amelia Earhart, Roswell, DB Cooper and Jimmy Hoffa. It's what I would do. Why can't we have that WITHOUT the fascism?

YES! I just got glasses for the first time fairly recently and got two pairs for distance/near, but it drove me crazy b/c I couldn't do anything while ALSO, reading my phone. Progressives saved me. I still use my old "reading" glasses when I'm working at the computer though
