Editorial Summary

Adam Hattan and Gary C document the first day of an epic multi-destination trip starting with a flight from London Heathrow to Los Angeles. Traveling in Virgin Atlantic upper class, the creators review the airport amenities at Heathrow, including the refurbished WH Smith and the Virgin upper class lounge. During the flight, they evaluate the onboard service, the quality of the meal selection, and the comfort of the lie-flat beds. Upon arriving in Los Angeles, they utilize a Carmel Shuttle service to reach Anaheim. The creators check into the Pixar Place Hotel, where they provide a detailed tour of their premium view room, noting the Pixar themed decor and the view of the Incredicoaster. They also explore the hotel amenities, including the Great Maple restaurant, where they dine on cauliflower hummus and meatloaf, and the on-site merchandise shop. The day concludes with a look at the hotel pool and an attempt to listen to the World of Color show via the in-room television. The creators conclude that while the flight was a mixed experience, the hotel accommodations and initial arrival in California were highly successful.
