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...

Why Do Vine and Tiktok Stars Fail to Transition Onto Youtube

                                                    Source: cherwell.org      Platforms like Vine and Tiktok have allowed everyday people to become some of the most recognized names on the internet. However, some of them seem to be bound to the platform that they gained their popularity on. Many of these stars have tried to make the transition onto Youtube, but have not reached the same level of success. Why is this? There are so many creators that I like/ liked on Vine or Tiktok that I just do not find interesting on Youtube. I think the bottom line is: it is easy to keep people interested in 6 second or minute long  increments. A story time that only has one exciting part to it can easily be told on Tiktok, but stretching it out into a 10 minute long Youtube video is where the audience starts to get bored. I...

Beloved Actors and Actresses That Did Blackface

                                                    Source: wikipedia.com       There are endless examples of racism in entertainment, however one that is often talked about is the usage of blackface in Tv and Movies. Blackface involves a white performer making their skin darker and it is often used to dehumanize people of African decent. Negative stereotypes are often given to these characters and they are used as a source of ignorant comedy. In other cases, early Hollywood would give white actors and actresses parts that did not align with their race because people of color were rarely hired in Hollywood.  Some blackface characters are more well known, like with Al Jolson in the 1927 movie, The Jazz Singer ( x ). However, some actors and actresses that are wildly beloved today have performed in black face at some...
