So after a fun filled day at DLR, some new stuff that you should look out for next time you're in the park.

- Some of the murals are up in Toon Town (2- by the gazibo, 1-by Gas Station), TomorrowLand (1- Exit to Buzz) FantasyLand (1- By Snow WHite show) New Orleans Sq. (1- by Cafe Orleans, 1-by Haunted Mansion). It's dissapointing that some are so small that you can't see the pictures or in odd places (Buzz) that you won't be able to see it without a telescope.

- Fantasmic! - Pinochio is gone again. New effects on the island. Just before the Mark Twain shows up, there used to be CM's with those $15 spinning lights on the island you may recall? They're the one's that scoot off the stage whenever the MT is out of comission. Anyway, they've been replaced with something really cool, that I thought they shoud have done along time ago. It's extremely cool.

- Thanks to Heidi and Tom for realizing what a long line for a Doll Whip really means.

- New seats in the Tiki Room! :tiki:

- Today was the last day of the 2 "celebrations." I'll miss the Mickey one. :(

- Finally, CM's at the Gibson Girl Shop can not tell when someone bypasses the long line of people and walks up to the counter to order. I was in line and this lady and her 2 friends cut in front of me after leaving the line behind me to go look at candy. She says, "I know this is where we were." Then they get out of line again and walk over to the back end of the store. Then when the girl at the far end of the counter asks for the next guest, they just walk up and order. Some people! :rolleyes:

Dude! You MUST tell us your high scoring Buzz secrets! Way to go! :cheers:

Thanks for all the info. We checked out the murals on Friday night. You missed one in Adventureland, btw, in one of the planters. I really dug most of them. It does kind of suck about the farther away ones where you can't see the pics, but many of them are close enough to get right up to and see all the pics, which was cool. I really loved the frames on some of them (wrought iron at the HM, carved wood dwarves near Fantasyland Theater, etc). Later today I'll post pictures of the murals.

Sucks about the Gibson Girl....I would have been in their faces so fast....

YAY!

How in the world do you score more than 1 million points?!?! As much as I've tried to hit the triangle-and-diamond targets repeatedly, I'm still no where near that score. Now, at least someone I know (you) can accomplish such a high score on Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. Up until this point, I keep seeing someone with initials of "LGM" almost everytime, and LGM always has several high scores more than 1 million--and I didn't believe it was possible. Congratulations!

Yeah, seriously. Why don't they notice that their four-hour window for pineappley goodness causes a twenty-minute line? Surely people would buy it all day long if it were available.

What Bornieo is leaving out: he waited in that twenty-minute line with us, even though he wasn't getting any Whip. What a swell guy.
