Planning to visit Disneyland this holiday season?🎄

Don’t miss @hugomartin’s tips on how to make the most of your time there: latimes.com/business/story…
Number one: Don’t forget to make a reservation.

To get into the parks, you need to buy a ticket and book a reservation for the day you plan to visit.

Refresh your web browser often to find reservation openings, @hugomartin advises. latimes.com/business/story…
Holiday decorations will stay up, and seasonal performances will continue, until Jan. 9.

If you book a reservation for Jan. 2 through Jan. 9, you can avoid the crowds and still see all the holiday lights, ornaments, shows and parades. latimes.com/business/story…
Starting Dec. 8, park visitors can use a new feature on the Disneyland App called Genie, which uses algorithms and wait-time data to create an itinerary that can help you squeeze in your top choices for rides, attractions and restaurants during your visit. latimes.com/business/story…
The Christmas Fantasy Parade at Disneyland draws huge crowds along the parade route, so finding a good viewing spot can be tough.

Longtime fans recommend camping out in front of the It’s a Small World ride, near where the parade originates. latimes.com/business/story…

About 34,000 L.A. Unified School District students have not yet complied with the vaccine mandate.

And there's now no longer enough time for those who haven't gotten their first jab to be fully vaccinated by the start of the second semester latimes.com/california/sto…
Context: All children 12 and older in Los Angeles public schools must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to enter campus under an order approved by the Board of Education.

(Our reporting from early September, 2021👇 ) latimes.com/california/sto…
The high number of students who will not be able to meet the full inoculation deadline is likely to force difficult decisions on leaders of the nation’s second-largest school system latimes.com/california/sto… Image

Where we go one, we go all.

Screenwriter Todd Robinson wrote this line for the 1996 sailing movie ‘White Squall.’

He never imagined that a quarter century later, those seven words would be the rallying cry of QAnon.

Thread 👇
latimes.com/california/sto…
The movie is about teenage boys and their hard-nosed captain who learn about life and loyalty sailing a 1911 brigantine through a deadly storm.

The motto was roughly engraved on the vessel’s bell, which served as the emotional heart of the story.
latimes.com/california/sto… Image
In QAnon legend, the bell belonged to John F. Kennedy and was on his yacht — part of a labyrinthine belief that John F. Kennedy, Jr. is still alive and working with Trump to expose the elite cabal and perhaps run as his vice president in the next election.

In #TheEnvelope podcast, @JENCOOLIDGE opens up about overcoming cocaine addiction in her 20s, channeling the death of her mother to play Tanya McQuoid in “The White Lotus” and what she wants from Season 2.

.@JENCOOLIDGE says she almost didn’t take her role in “The White Lotus.” Here’s why: link.chtbl.com/TheEnvelopePod…
#TheWhiteLotus reminds us that @JENCOOLIDGE is an actress, not just a “comic actress,” a phrase that really just means nobody thinks to cast her in a drama. latimes.com/entertainment-…

Citing mounting evidence of ongoing harm, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy issued a public health advisory on the mental health challenges confronting youth, a rare warning and call to action to address an emerging crisis exacerbated by the pandemic.

latimes.com/california/sto… Image
Symptoms of depression and anxiety have doubled during the pandemic, with 25% of youth experiencing depressive symptoms and 20% experiencing anxiety symptoms, according to Murthy’s 53-page advisory.

latimes.com/california/sto…
In early 2021, emergency department visits in the U.S. for suspected suicide attempts were 51% higher for adolescent girls and 4% higher for adolescent boys compared to the same time period in early 2019, according to research cited in the advisory.

Southern California Pizza Hut customers are being hit with an extra charge to help recover “the increased cost of operations in the state of California.”

Columnist @Davidlaz explains how this is an example of "drip pricing": latimes.com/business/story…
A reader shared with @Davidlaz a screenshot of his recent online transaction with a Pizza Hut restaurant.

Attached to his $8.99 order for pasta and breadsticks was a 76-cent “service charge.” latimes.com/business/story…
This is separate from Pizza Hut’s delivery charge and separate from tax. It’s a fee explicitly passing along part of the restaurant’s cost of doing business in California.

All companies have every right to do that — but that’s not what’s happening here. latimes.com/business/story…

California is preparing for a winter COVID-19 surge — if not from the newly identified Omicron variant, then from the Delta variant, which still poses a severe threat and has already caused surges in other states.

latimes.com/california/sto…
It’s still far from clear what kind of increase California will see, and the state has been doing better than other parts of the country.

But officials say they want to be ready.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Surge planning is also well underway in Central California, which has recently experienced a reprieve in COVID-19 hospitalizations, falling by nearly 30% since mid-November.
