Is it Worth Going to Downtown Disney in April 2021?

     It is hard to believe that it is has been over a year since Disneyland closed its doors. Thankfully, for people that still need a little hint of Disney magic in their lives, Downtown Disney has been open since the summer for people to enjoy. Whenever I am in the area, I like to stop by Downtown Disney. However, over the past few months, my experiences there have been slightly different every time. This was obviously due to Orange County's covid restrictions at the time, but this meant that sometimes there were trips that did not feel worth it. The last time I went, it cost $10 to park, was crowded, and none of the food stands were open. Though it was nice to be able to walk through Buena Vista street, this trip otherwise was a bit of a bust. However, due to the doors of Disneyland being opened again in just under a month, I wanted to check it out again and see how much has opened up.

    I was very excited that Disney brought back the Eggstravaganza for 2021. The eggs seemed a little more out in the open than they had been in previous years, however this was probably because they wanted to reduce crowding. It was a fun and enjoyable 30 minute activity that got us walking around the shopping district. For $7.99, it is one of the cheaper activities that can be done on Disney property and it always is something I look forward to. Apart from the Eggstravaganza and various new spring snacks, Downtown Disney had no other spring additions. 

    We went on Wednesday morning around 10:00 am, and the shopping district was considerably more crowded than it had been on previous trips in the past year. It took roughly 20 minutes to get into any store we wanted to go to, however all the food shops and stands had opened up again and the waits for those were almost nothing. Apart from the mask wearing and social distancing lines, this trip almost felt completely normal. You still need to pay a $10 fee to park and there is no validation available, but I think that if you are in the area and want something to do for the day, Downtown Disney is definitely worth the trip.

Why Do Marc and Heidi D'Amelio Have Their Own Podcast?

            Source: podcasts.apple.com     Charli and Dixie D'Amelio, both made famous on Tiktok, are arguably two of the biggest social media influencers at the moment. They have a combined total of over 160 million followers on Tiktok and have branched out to other platforms, such as Youtube, and gained a significant following there as well. Surely two people with that amount of fame have the capabilities to give other people in their lives a platform as well, simply by association. However, the amount of fame that their parents, Marc and Heidi, are trying to capitalize on leaves a sour taste in my mouth. They are not the first parents to try and piggyback onto their child's success, however, in an era where social media can make anybody famous overnight, it is a lot easier to see the problematic nature of stage parents.                Source: forbes.com       Stage parents ha...

The Problem With Gabbie Hanna's Poetry

  Source: amazon.com   Over the post few days, Youtuber Gabbie Hanna has been on a mission to confront someone who reviewed and critiqued her poetry book. The tweets and Instagram stories that she posted, calling out fellow Youtuber, Rachel Oates, were cruel and unnecessary. Gabbie has created two poetry books over the years, and since they are available for the public to purchase, these customers have the right to review them. Rachel's reviews were no worse than anyone else's. In fact, she gave constructive criticism and insight into how Gabbie could better her poetry in the future, when most did not. She had knowledge of the structure of poems and how to tie in themes without explicitly saying it to the audience. Her advice was useful, however Gabbie calls it "bullying". She also called Oates a "loser" for not getting as many views on her videos as Gabbie does, and sent her fans to attack her. This is a bigger problem regarding large creators taking down s...
