Disney Hyperion Puns

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to find Battle of the Labyrinth with it's original cover but I can only find the version published by Scholastic. When I first read the series back in middle school I got the ones published by Disney Hyperion, but I wasn't able of getting the fourth one. Is there any difference regarding the contents of the book if I get the Scholastic one?

Link to the podcast: here

Info: He talks about the internals for Hyperion, as well as the differences in the approaches taken by Disney and ChaosGroup in developing the Hyperion renderer and the V-Ray renderer, respectively.

The following was posted to Facebook by Cooper Howell, who played Hans in Frozen at the Hyperion. The post delves into the good and the bad of his experience, and while long, it is an important post to read. I understand these types of posts aren't usually on this subreddit, but I think it's important to confront racism present in Disneyland and how it effects Cast Members, because it would be denial to say there isn't any. Here's the post:

EDIT: here's the link to the original post - https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10163695898520054&id=617980053

>Im just gonna go ahead and be straight up. This is pretty scary to share.

>HEAVEN: Once upon a time Liesl Tommy cast me as Prince Hans in Frozen: Live at the Hyperion. And I was gooped. GOOPED. There was nothing in my prior history that gave any indication this was possible. Up until then every role I played had to do with my race. Every. Single. One. And even ones where it didn’t (Shakespeare or classical pieces mostly) I was always made aware that the novelty of me being a poc in that role that gave me the part. So much did I not expect to get this part that when I got the callback I rolled my eyes and didn’t take the actual callback seriously. I mean, there was a zero percent chance that Disney would ever let me play a Prince, especially when the dude in the movie is a ginger.

>But then I got it. And immediately everything I thought was possible about my career changed. My whole life I’ve never inwardly felt black. I’ve never inwardly felt white. I’ve always felt like I was Cooper, you know, on the inside. But whether it was every single white human in Utah reminding me that I was “the whitest person they ever knew/saw” (which DIDNT mean how white my skin was. It was how white I ACTED) or Mr. Johnson, my 7th grade drama teacher, telling me that he “wanted to put Velcro on the ceiling to see if I’d stick” or Mr. Smith, my high school drama teacher, saying “finally we can do black shows” as soon as I entered high school and then not casting me in roles because of the "optics" of it, or even my best friend in high school Tanner Harmon who called me "blackie", I was always reminded that I was an other.

>So imagine getting paid good money to put on that $10,000 costume and waltzing out to 4000 people a day to play a really amazing part. A fantastic, evil, complicated, person who sings a killer duet and then grabs the show by the throat with a vicious about-face monologue... and n

Hey, all! Bart King here. I write funny books for younger readers and immature adults. Disney Hyperion just published my debut novel, a humorous science fiction adventure called The Drake Equation.

I’ve also written over seventeen other books, including The Big Book of Boy Stuff (which was once Amazon’s top-selling kids book), The Big Book of Gross Stuff, and the hilarious An Architectural Guidebook to Portland. (It’s medium-sized.)

I taught middle school for many years, which is how I got into writing. My reluctant readers inspired me on many searches to find books that they’d find perfectly irresistible . . . and it inspired me to try my hand at writing some.

EDIT: Thank you, everyone, for the great AMA! It was a lot of fun for me . . . I'm already looking forward to the next one. :)

Hi everyone!! We know there are a lot of questions related to reopening, how it will work, how things will progress, and what will be available. Here's some information about reopening that may be helpful!

If you have more questions, feel free to add them in the comments here or in our pinned weekly trip planning thread. The below guide is also available in our FAQ wiki here!

#2021 Park Reopening: Know Before You Go

Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure are officially reopened as of April 30th, 2021! After over a year of closure, we are so excited for so many of you to begin planning visits to Disneyland Resort again. Below is a quick overview of what to expect from Disneyland upon initial reopening. We will do our best to update this sheet as more dates are announced and if any protocols or rules change.

##Dates and Hours

Hours are the same for both Disneyland and California Adventure until July 1st.

From 4/30 - 5/13, the parks were open 9 AM - 7 PM.

From 5/14 - 6/30, the parks will be open 9 AM - 9 PM.

Starting July 1st, Disneyland Park will be open 8 AM - 10 PM and California Adventure will be open 8 AM - 9 PM.

Reservations for days beyond the initial batch of dates (which was through 6/28) are currently becoming available 120 days in advance, sometime between midnight and 8 AM (it seems inconsistent so far).

At this time, Magic Morning and Extra Magic Hour are both on pause.

Dining reservations are open as of April 22nd for all dates through 6/29, with select locations also available for reservations through July. Dining reservations have been released in chunks, and availability and schedule of release has varied by restaurant.

Ticket booths are open at the parks as of April 30th.

Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is open as of June 4th.

Out-of-state guests can visit the parks again beginning June 15th.

Fireworks will be returning July 4th, with Mickey's Mix Magic as the returning fireworks show.

##Tickets and Reservations

In order to visit the park, you will have to purchase a valid ticket as well as make a park reservation for each day of your ticket. Both one park per day and park hopper tickets are available, and both require a reservation at either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure. If you purchase a park hopper ticket, your reservation determines which park you will start your day at. You will be able to park hop star

Review of my time at Disney! What I advise is in bolded numbers :))

7:00 We got passes for Spider-Man! I was using WiFi from a hotspot device and I think that really helped since I was able to get ROTR a couple days ago also. I refreshed the page right as it turned 7 on time.gov and got pass 33.

8:30- Got to Gardenwalk 1: make sure to take a pic of your ticket so you can validate it once you make a purchase in the park

9:00- Got through security and temp check 2: Even if you aren’t trying to get into the park early, come before 9am or after 10:30am. I made the mistake a couple days ago of coming to Disney around 9:10 and it took more than an hour for me to get in. I went through the harbor side for both days so I can’t say how it is for the downtown Disney entrance.

9:20 -Rode Soaring Over the World; ETA was 40 mins when I got on and changed to 60 mins as I was in line. Took only 20 mins to get on the ride 3: A lot of the ETA for rides can change really rapidly since everyone flocks to the rides with lower times. Don’t be scared if the wait time is greater than what it says on the app by the time you get there! I would say as long as the line is continuously moving then the line will take less than 30 mins. I didn’t wait any longer than that for any ride the whole day (exception down below)

10:20-Walked around enjoying the park until we went into AC at this time. 4: Mobile ordering for lunch for pyms test kitchen for lunch opens up at 10:15am. Idk what the exact time mobile ordering for pyms taste kitchen is but I checked at 11:20am and was able to get a spot so I’m assuming 11:15 am. If you know you’ll be eating at AC for lunch make sure to get a mobile order in during this time. The standby line for food and drinks were full during lunchtime

10:30-11:40- The line for Spider-Man was LONG- an hour long . The longest i was in the whole day. Most of the line was also in the sun not making it great. The ride broke down while we were waiting and again right as we were about to board so we had leave the line and was given fast pass to come another time

11:50- we walked around campus and enjoyed it. My bf and I don’t care much for interacting with characters but throughout the day we saw ant man, captain America, iron man, Spider-Man, black panther, black widow, Loki(TVA), and captain marvel

12:10pm -got a Terran treat churro (6.5/10) tasted like what you expect a pineapple churro would and is very small. It’s fun to tear off the spi

I'm a Hobbit! I'm short, I'm happy, I love nature, I enjoy good food, I like a good adventure, and I'm very fond of the comforts of home.

And if that sounds good to you and you're the kind of person who mostly wants an affectionate no-drama relationship, in a cosy place to read or game under a selection of soft blankets most nights while surrounded by houseplants, interspersed with as many holidays as we can fit in per year, then you can skip the rest of this post and just get in touch already!

I'm gonna read it anyway. What are you looking for?

I'm looking for someone who's genuine, communicative, who likes to learn and explore the world, and has a bit of a geeky streak.

For what, though?

Anything, really! Just friends is good, someone to roll into my covid social nights of Among Us and online party games is grand, dating is great... but longer term I'm looking to build a loving partnership full of adventure, comfort, and joy.

You and everyone else. Give me more detail then.

In terms of personality, I'm kind, supportive, stable, patient, and chilled. Friends say I've got a good social energy and I'm easy to get along with.

In terms of appearance, like I say, I'm short (160cm), with a figure that's about the average of muscular, healthy, and dad bod, with a nice warm smile and blue eyes. You're not going to go wrong if you just imagine your favourite Hobbit. (Happy to share pics of course.)

In terms of non-geeky interests, I like holidays, animals, cocktail making, cuddles, DIY and interior design, creative projects, healthy batch cooking, anything that makes me laugh, exploring and activities around town, and late boozy nights with friends chatting around a living room or a crackling fire. Oh, and I give a head massage that's so relaxing you'll forget your name.

I've got a house in SE Edinburgh, and the most good-natured cat you'll ever meet.

You keep coming back to geekiness. Spill the beans, man!

My hobbies swing towards the geeky side of things - I'm definitely your standard well-rounded responsible adult with social skills first, but in my evenings and downtime I love TV and movies, documentaries, reading, podcasts, boardgames, and videogames. And definitely my best match would be someone similar - someone who likes to work during the day, adventure at the weekend, save up for awesome holidays, and spend their evenings in front of the TV with either a glass of wine, a book, or a videogame controller in their hands. Bonus po

Hello~ I thought to share my experience from today and maybe can help someone out who is going soon. Please keep in mind California is set to reopen fully on the 15th (tomorrow) and I do not know how Disney plans to handle this change for the theme parks 😎

~ 7:45am arrived at Mickey & Friends parking. Got through security and began the walk to park entrance

~ 8:30am made it inside DCA and went to the restroom first 😆

~ 8:40am decided to get in line for Avenger Campus standby line as we did not get the Web Slinger 7am morning group. The line began a little bit before Cars Land entrance and looped around where the Cappuccino cart is. [the loop got extended further down as the line got longer I think]

~ 9:40am GOT INTO AVENGER CAMPUS! (I recall the exactly wait time being a little under 1 hour; however if you got in line later in the morning I heard the wait was 3-4 hours?)

~ 9:40am - 10:45am walked around campus, checked out the web store, was able to do mobile order for Pym’s Tasting lab pick up at 10. Both honey drinks were very good! [there was a standby line as well and didn’t have a wait when I went to pick up my orders]

~10:45am some folks started to form an unofficial lunch line for Pym’s Test Kitchen so I also lined up around this time, the CMs then made it official around 10:50 and started letting us in to order right at 11 when they switched to the lunch menu.

~11am-12pm Ate our food by the Hyperion theatre area and chilled there.

12pm Tried again for Web Slinger and got group 92 (about 155 min from then)

[while inside campus we saw Black Widow/Black Panther show(?) that’s on the HQ balcony; Dora Milaje show; Captain Marvel; The Wasp]

~12-2:25pm Monsters Inc/Grizzly/Soaring

~2:25pm Received notification the Web Slinger group was ready. Once inside the actual wait time for the ride was about 15 mins

~3pm headed to Pixar pier [BTW the standby line for AC looked really short now, I guesstimated 20-30mins] For the next 3ish hours just did stuff at Pixar / cars land / chilled by a seating area for a good hour cuz the weather was HOT today

~ 7pm Decided to head back into AC for a shawarma and leave and THERE WAS NO LINE TO ENTER!! [I did notice the standby line for Guardians went up to 110 compared to morning averaging from 40-60]

That is all~ don’t forget to stay hydrated throughout the day 👍
