The theme park will eventually reopen — but it’ll no longer offer its current annual pass program latimes.com/entertainment-…
The popular multi-tiered ticketing system, which shifted the culture of the two Anaheim theme parks in a way that it became a regular hangout for many Southern Californians, is being axed latimes.com/entertainment-…
A replacement for its annual pass program is not expected to be implemented until the pandemic allows the Disneyland Resort to be at or near its pre-COVID era attendance.
How does Disneyland calculate how much you should pay for tickets?
Here’s a breakdown of the theme park's ticket cost marketing strategy and why the price of happiness keeps rising (from the archives, 2015) latimes.com/travel/themepa…
A lot can change in a year.
In February 2020 just before the COVID outbreak in SoCal, Disneyland hiked its ticket prices and broke its $200-a-day mark.
Disneyland’s one-day admission price when it opened was $3.50.
Few would have imagined how complex the park could be 60 years later. (And even fewer would’ve guessed ticket prices would outpace inflation at the rate that it did) latimes.com/business/hiltz…
Back in 2015, Disneyland discontinued its Premium annual pass and replaced it with a much more expensive $1049 pass.
But was it done to reduce crowd sizes for a better park experience? Or just out of greed? (Many park goers claim it’s the latter😡) latimes.com/business/la-fi…
Would you want to enjoy a day at Disneyland with family and friends for just $41 per ticket? You can!

Social distancing. Face masks. Nearly empty streets.
Trump has been delegating daily responsibilities to Mike Pence while hunkering down with a small group of aides and contemplating additional presidential pardons. latimes.com/politics/story…
Since the pro-Trump mob smashed through the Capitol, Pence has taken over.
Pence was the one who authorized the deployment of the National Guard to quell the mob.
Breaking: During his first days in office, President-elect Joe Biden plans to send legislation to congress that would provide a pathway to citizenship for 11 million immigrants who are in the country without legal status.
Biden’s legislation does not include money to support detention and deportation. Previous immigration bills passed under both Democratic and Republican administrations linked an expansion of immigration with stepped-up enforcement and security measures. latimes.com/california/sto…
The bill would provide a shorter pathway to citizenship for people with Temporary Protected Status, for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipients and likely also for certain frontline essential workers, vast numbers of whom are immigrants. latimes.com/california/sto…
In the crowded kitchen of a McDonald’s in Oakland, it was as though the coronavirus didn’t exist.
Social distancing wasn’t enforced in the early weeks of the pandemic. As workers boxed Big Macs and bagged orders, they often stood shoulder to shoulder. latimes.com/california/sto…
There weren’t enough masks, so managers told workers to improvise, offering up a box of dog diapers somebody had left at the store. Often, the outlet was so busy that workers said they had no time to wash their hands, let alone disinfect the countertops.
When the coronavirus surged through the store in May, employees — even those with symptoms — said they were pressured to keep working, according to formal complaints filed with the local health department and the state.
Five large COVID-19 vaccination sites are slated to open next week in Los Angeles County:
• Pomona Fairplex
• The Forum in Inglewood
• Cal State Northridge
• L.A. County Office of Education in Downey
• Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia latimes.com/california/sto…
Each site is expected to vaccinate 4,000 people a day. Appointments and proof of employment in the healthcare industry will be required to get the shot, the county said. The five sites are expected to remain open for at least four weeks. latimes.com/california/sto…
They are run separately from the city’s Dodger Stadium vaccine site.
Jesus Alegria was skateboarding with some friends at a Compton park on an afternoon in April when Deputy Miguel Vega and his partner, Chris Hernandez, pulled up.

Hands on their holsters, the deputies approached a group of teens. Alegria and his friends shouted at them to stop harassing the kids. The deputies, he said, rounded on them and words were exchanged. latimes.com/california/sto…
Vega suddenly grabbed Alegria’s wrists and shoved him into the back of the patrol car. The deputy didn’t handcuff him and didn’t ask Alegria’s name. latimes.com/california/sto…
