There’s a weird thing happening in the happiest place on Earth.  If you’re looking to visit Disneyland or Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, California, then you’d better get there early.  During the first two days of the week this week, tickets have been hard to come by.  Disneyland and Disney California Adventure tickets were sold out on Monday and Tuesday, with the two parks drawing an estimated 75,000 to 100,000 people per day!  Disney has a whole lot of fans out there, to be sure.

“The crowds are huge,” said Al Lutz, editor of the Disneyland website miceage.com. “They’re close to 100,000 between both parks — that’s the record.  I think they hit it [Monday], and they’re hitting it again,” thanks to California’s heavy rainfall.  All the pre-Christmas rain “shifted all the traffic to this end of the holiday period.  Normally this would have been spread out over two weeks; it’s all pent-up demand.”

There was so much demand that, for two days in a row, both Disney parks were turning people away.  Disneyland sold out at 10 AM on Tuesday; Disney California Adventure sold out by 1 PM.  I didn’t know Disney parks ever closed!  I didn’t know it was possible for an amusement park to sell out, but Disney has done it twice thanks to record crowds.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
