No Kings 3! This time downtown!

No Kings 3 - be3n Trump Blimp

My first No Kings protest downtown and it was exciting. Live performance, crazy characters, great signs and lots of camaraderie.  i gave out stickers and made friends as we idled and marched.  Unlike the first and second march, this time i traveled to downtown los angeles to participate in a much larger gathering.  i couldn’t get pictures of all the incredible costumes.  Everyone was so friendly and curious.  i lost count of how many times i bumped into or stepped on the foot of a fellow protestor.

Spooky fun at Disneyland!

I returned to Disneyland with some first timers.  It hasn’t been very long, but there have been a lot of changes. Fast Pass is now a paid upgrade.  Storybook rides now feature video projection.  Splash Mountain is now Bayou Country despite keeping the big splash.  The Haunted Mansion is in Nightmare before Christmas mode with even more fun changes.  The original Club 33 door is now stroller parking!  The Electric Light Parade has returned completely refreshed and a new Fantasyland Castle projection show provided exciting new entertainment.
