News: As we suspected would happen, starting on June 15th, Disneyland will allow out of state guests to attend. The State of California strongly recommends that all guests be fully vaccinated or obtain a negative COVID-19 test before arriving at the parks. Face masks will still be required throughout the resort. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2021/05/disneyland-resort-theme-parks-to-welcome-back-guests-from-outside-california-beginning-june-15-plus-theme-park-reservation-window-expands-allowing-more-time-to-plan-your-visit/ With the addition of the out of state guests that will be flooding the parks, the reservation window to reserve a day in the park has expanded to 120 days. This doubles the size of the original reservation window. Dining reservations are still limited to 60 days for now. – https://www.micechat.com/292483-disneyland-update-avengers-fireworks-staffing-crowds/ As we spoke of last week, the possibility of fireworks returning to the parks as early as the 4th of July is not out of the question. MiceChat reports that some of the pyrotechnic cast members are being recalled. With fireworks being outdoors and guests being able to be physically distant, it is possible to have them back soon. – https://www.micechat.com/292483-disneyland-update-avengers-fireworks-staffing-crowds/ The night that this podcast is posted, June 2nd, Disneyland will broadcast live online the Avengers Campus Opening Ceremony. The stream starts at 8:15pm Pacific time on the Disneyland Facebook and Twitter channels, as well as on the Disney Parks Blog, and YouTube. A few “special guests” will be on hand to launch this new land. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2021/05/tune-in-to-avengers-campus-opening-ceremony-live-from-disney-california-adventure-park-june-2-at-815-pm-pt/ When Avengers Campus opens, there will be a standby queue to enter the area. This will be similar to the standby queue used for Star Wars: Galaxys Edge a couple of years ago. There is no word on how often this queue will be in place, or for how long. Disney is “strongly encouraging” guests to mobile order all food and beverages in the land. Guests will be directed to do so upon walk-up. – https://www.ocregister.com/2021/06/01/disneyland-adds-avengers-campus-standby-queue-to-control-access-to-new-marvel-land/ With Avengers Campus opening this week, some of the merchandise for the new area has already appeared on shelves in the park. The Backlot Premiere Shop now has Spider-Bots, Web-Shooters, clothing, and more. There are two versions of the Spider-Bots; one larger one that has accessories that can be attached for $79.99, and a basic one, which is smaller and is not radio controlled for $24.99. The Web-Shooters come in two varieties; a Web-Shooter that looks like Spider-Man’s web shooter, and a Repulsor, which looks like Iron Man’s repulsor. A Power Band must be purchased separately for the accessory to work. – https://www.micechat.com/292487-avengers-campus-merchandise-now-available-at-disney-california-adventure/ Producer Vern will be very happy to hear this next bit of news. The World Famous Jungle Cruise is reopening to guests on July 16th, after being closed since the parks closed back in March, 2020. When it reopens, there will be a new story in place to help add a backstory to the opening day attraction. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2021/05/new-jungle-cruise-experience-will-open-at-disneyland-park-july-16-with-work-completed-at-magic-kingdom-park-this-summer/ The traditional red, white, and blue decorations in the parks for the summer have been installed. In preparation for Memorial Day, Main Street and Buena Vista Street were decked out in the patriotic colors, which are expected to remain in place through most of the summer. – https://www.micechat.com/292483-disneyland-update-avengers-fireworks-staffing-crowds/ Not only are the parks returning to more elaborate decorations, but so is Downtown Disney! The abstract sculptures that were installed two summers ago, which look like abstract shapes, until you find the correct angle, revealing a Disney character or scene, have been setup around the planters in Downtown Disney. – https://www.micechat.com/292483-disneyland-update-avengers-fireworks-staffing-crowds/ Cruella came to theaters and Disney+ Premiere Access this past week, and guests can see a prop from the movie at Downtown Disney. Cruella’s car is on display near the tram loading station, parked under a canopy and surrounded by posters from the movie. – https://www.micechat.com/292483-disneyland-update-avengers-fireworks-staffing-crowds/ A little known condiment is available at the Little Red Wagon on Main Street. Bacon Ketchup can be added on the side with a corndog. It is ketchup with bacon pieces mixed in. The Disney Food Blog says that they liked the flavor, but the ketchup was the main taste, even with the bacon. There is a strong bacon aftertaste. The side costs $1.19 in addition to the $9.97 corndog. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2021/05/29/review-is-a-disneyland-corn-dog-even-better-with-bacon-ketchup/ MiceChat posted a copycat recipe of a popular attraction that is celebrating it’s 62nd anniversary this year on June 14th. The Jolly Holiday Matterhorn Macaroon copycat seems fairly easy to make, with just 8 ingredients it shouldn’t be too difficult to replicate at home. – https://www.micechat.com/292739-how-to-make-copycat-matterhorn-macaroons-for-national-macaroon-day/ The Inside the Walt Disney Archives Exhibit that is currently at the Bowers Museum, will be moving to the Graceland Exhibition Center on July 23rd. The exhibit will remain on display through January 2, 2022. Admission is $15 for adults over 11, $8 for children 5-10, and 4 and under get in free!

News: As is usual with posting out podcast episodes, Disney released big news right after our episode went live. Due to the State of California waiting until after July 4th to make any new announcements in regards to reopening requirements, Disney postponed the reopening of Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, as well as the Resort Hotels. The company stated that they would just not have enough lead time to prepare the parks for opening. There has not been a date announced at this time, but is probably a bit off due to the rise in COVID-19 cases throughout the state. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/06/disneyland-resort-reopening-update/ and https://www.micechat.com/262288-breaking-news-disneyland-confirms-potential-park-reopening-delay/ Even though re-opening has been delayed, work is still happening inside the parks. The Frontierland bridge project is nearing completion, the path leading to the Matterhorn from the hub has also resumed work. Snow White, the Haunted Mansion, and King Arthur’s Carousel have also resumed work. Some painting has started in Toon Town on Mickey’s House, and the two big projects – Avengers Campus and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway have also resumed work. – https://www.micechat.com/262304-disneyland-update-splash-down-closures-new-aerial-photos/ and https://www.ocregister.com/2020/06/27/disneyland-resumes-200000-renovation-of-frontierland-gate/ Over in Disney California Adventure, work is continuing at Avengers Campus. From aerial photos, it looks like there is quite a crew working on getting the new land completed. Also, the Food and Wine booths have been removed from around the park, dashing the hopes of guests that hoped that the festival would return when the park reopened. – https://www.micechat.com/262304-disneyland-update-splash-down-closures-new-aerial-photos/ As we spoke about last week, there was a push to re-theme Splash Mountain to Princess and the Frog. This week, Disney Imagineering announced that they had been working on this exact proposal since before last summer. They released some concept art for the outside of the attraction. The re-theme will keep the general bones of the current attraction and add theming elements on top of it. They did not release any concept art for the interior. The new story will follow Princess Tiana and Louie on the way to their first Mardi Gras performance. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/06/new-adventures-with-princess-tiana-coming-to-disneyland-park-and-magic-kingdom-park/ and https://www.micechat.com/262305-breaking-news-splash-mountain-to-become-princess-and-the-frog-themed/ Cast Member unions and Disney have reached an agreement on the guidelines for their return to work at the parks. Cast Members will receive two weeks of paid sick leave if they contract COVID-19, thermometers will be provided to the cast members, and they will perform a COVID-19 test prior to heading to work under the new agreement. Cast Members that work within 6 feet of guests will be provided with a plastic face shield. Cast Members will also have the option to remain on furlough with benefits for the first recall. If they are recalled a second time, they will have to go on an approved leave of absence. Unions make up 28,000 of the 31,000 cast members at the resort. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2020/06/26/news-disneyland-and-union-cast-members-have-reached-an-agreement-concerning-their-return-to-work/ and https://www.ocregister.com/2020/06/25/disneyland-reaches-agreement-with-cast-member-unions-on-park-reopening-process/ In the before-times, Disneyland Ambassadors held their position for two years. Now, with the parks being closed and having to do a lot of their job on social media from home (and sometimes from the parks), their tenure has been extended by a year until January 1, 2022. I have to admit that I rather like them (they listen to the podcast) and am glad that Justin and Rafa are going to be sticking around. – https://www.micechat.com/262304-disneyland-update-splash-down-closures-new-aerial-photos/ This past Monday, Disney flew helicopters at elevations as low as 500 feet over the resort to get “footage for the future.” Disney did something similar to this a couple of weeks ago at Walt Disney World which included 3D modeling of the parks. This data can be used to create a digitally accurate model of the parks for use by Imagineers and other departments to plan future attractions and offerings. – https://www.ocregister.com/2020/06/29/disneyland-helicopter-captures-aerial-footage-of-eerie-ghost-town-during-coronavirus-closure/ In a fun article from MiceChat, they asked the question that I usually use as a reason that Disneyland is superior to Walt Disney World: Which resort has more attractions? The last time that they compiled this list was 2014 before Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Avatar land, Galaxy’s Edge, Toy Story Land, and the removal of A bug’s land – making the count 57 to 50. How does Disneyland fair 6 years later? 59 to 58, in favor of Disneyland! World wide, the resorts measure up like this: Tokyo Disneyland has 45 between their two parks, Disneyland Paris has 35 between their two parks, Hong Kong Disneyland has 20 at it’s one park, and Shanghai Disneyland comes in last at 16 attractions. If 16 attractions seems low, note that DCA has 18 attractions currently. – https://www.micechat.com/262347-which-disney-resort-has-the-most-attractions-2020-edition/ Discussion Topic: The Walt Disney Archives – MousePlanet Interview – https://www.mouseplanet.com/12688/Dave_Smith_and_The_Birth_of_the_Disney_Archives The Walt Disney Company – https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/preserving-the-legacy-the-walt-disney-archives/

As COVID-19 continues to grow and be a problem around the world, the parks will continue to be closed until it is safe. An indication of when Disneyland will reopen will probably be the reopening of the Asian parks that closed before the domestic parks. – https://www.micechat.com/255266-breaking-news-disneyland-closure-extended/Cast Members are scheduled to still be paid through April 18th. With the stimulus package passed by the government, Disney may look to lay off cast members after this time to be able to take advantage of the unemployment benefits that the government is offering. – https://www.micechat.com/255374-disneyland-news-update-the-storm-before-the-calm/With Disneyland closed, what is happening inside? Security is still on site, ensuring that the property is secure from the public. A skeleton crew of custodial, fire, horticulture, and more are also on site to maintain the park minimally during the closure. – https://www.micechat.com/255374-disneyland-news-update-the-storm-before-the-calm/A couple of places have taken aerial photos and video of Disneyland this week.

INTRODUCTION: Ben and Steve are joined by Jamie and Chuck, who get to tell their stories about what led them to the brewing world. We learn about how beer sales and distribution work and what the Slow Roll is all about! Ben has upgraded his wardrobe with a pair of Pit Viper sunglasses: The release of the new Rambo trailer is also reason for celebration, with suggestions of a company holiday for the release.There is a longer discussion regarding how beer sales and distribution work, with a brief overview of the three-tier system for alcohol. As a distributing brewery there are multiple layers of customers for beer to go through before it gets to the final consumer. NEWS: As discussed in the first episode, the Riverwalk Slow Roll has been gaining traction and started a bicycle arms race among the staff. Chuck explains the genesis of this weekly event and how it has grown organically, mentioning the Chicago Slow Roll as an influence. These bikes have already been modified, with more to come! Steve brings up the recent stories regarding Sierra Nevada's Resilience project and the financial support that other breweries pledged, with recent media coverage from Fortune magazine and others. There is discussion as to what may have happened and some hopeful soul-searching for the industry by all.   RECOMMENDATIONS: Chuck was excited about his Polaroid Cube: He also mentioned his upcoming trip to Austin, TX and a chance to visit farmhouse brewery Jester King. Steve is lamenting the impending loss of his beloved Honda Element and tried to explain Champions League soccer to the rest of the crew, while making wildly inaccurate predictions about the final. CREDITS: Steve and Ben were joined by Jamie and Chuck, with equipment assistance from Jon. Intro and Outro music by Steve and his G&L Legacy.

This week we talk about gun belts. There’s a lot of BS spewed on the internet about belts, and we sort through it based on our experience. Some folks like leather belts because they have a more traditional look, and they tend to flex and form to your body real nice. Other folks like the “tactical” nylon type belts because they are more adjustable, and can be extremely stiff. I started out carrying concealed with a Wilderness Tactical CSM belt (the one with the kydex stiffener) and later moved to the Two Fools Leather Goods Fat Boy Belt after Curt from TFLG sent me one for review. Some years later, I’m still wearing the leather Fat Boy Belt. I miss the infinite adjustability of the nylon belt, but the leather, while being really stiff and sturdy, has a little stretch and give to it that makes is perfect for carrying a pistol for me. The News: As you’ve certainly heard, the BATFE changed their mind about the Sig SB-15 Stabilizing Brace. No, the braces weren’t made illegal, even though some headlines would have you believe otherwise. Basically, they decided that shouldering an AR pistol with an SB-15 brace attached constitutes redesigning the firearm into an unregistered short barreled rifle. How it can go from perfectly legal to illegal when you hold it up to your shoulder is beyond me, but that’s the new ruling. What’s next, will they say that pulling the trigger really fast makes a gun a machine gun? Magpul announced that they will be making Glock 17 magazines. Yep, aftermarket, US made, 100% polymer Glock magazines. MSRP is $16. I’m stoked. Plug of the Week: This week we plug the Pricelaw Blog. They post some really good, in depth analysis of gun laws. They can do this because they’re lawyers, not college drop-out bloggers like me. Check them out, and subscribe to their blog in your feed reader, it’s good stuff. Contact: (919) 295-6128
