Disneyland Lately

I’m working on conceiving exactly what I want to do with this blog. So more to come…some day.  Just wanted to let you know that I’ve noticed that Disneyland’s attendance has been down on my most recent trips, except for Monday. Not sure why there were so many people, but I tried to go on Monster’s Inc and the line was 20 minutes and lined outside of the building.  I left.

It’s funny that I won’t even wait 20 minutes for a ride anymore.

Last Friday, I scored 210,000 on Toy Story Midway Mania.  I had an advantage.  I got to use the Wheelchair gun, which uses a button on top to fire instead of the rope trigger.  My reaction time and arm fatigue improved.  Also, I’m starting to find more of the high scoring Easter eggs.  The dart room (farm scene) has an Easter egg that unleashes a boat load of bee balloons.

Halloween is in bloom and I’m going to have some products that are going on line.  The first is the David Avanzino Disneyland Halloween Shadowbox.  I have one in stock at the moment. Hopefully it’s a popular item and I can get more.  Here’s the URL - http://www.themeparkshopper.com/servlet/the-1101/Disneyland-Halloween-Shadowbox--dsh-/Detail

 

I’ll have a Halloween page on www.Themeparkshopper.com soon.

360 Tomorrowland Way: The Home of Your Dreams

I’ve already reported about the home of the future. What I didn’t know what that my old improv teacher, Greg Atkins, was the writer of the attraction.

What do you mean writer? He wrote the story behind the attraction. When you get to the house, you stand at the front door and you wait for a family member to come out and invite you in for the party for the son’s soccer team going to Bejing for a Soccer tournament.

When I was taking classes with Greg, he was always talking about or doing project for Disney.  If you want to hear more about the home of the future, check out the July 29 Disneyland podcast.
