Had some free time yesterday afternoon so I visited the park.


The 2001 DLR logo is slowing being replaced by this new one:

Over in DCA, Whoopi is getting a paint job:

Okay enough DCA!


In Disneyland, there are several signs & cut outs at the entrance to Pirates:

Over in ToonTown, Goofy's Bounce House has been renamed Goofy's Playhouse. The outside queue and house are now a toddler play area.

The sad thing for me was watching two 5yr old boys run into the house, stop in stunned silence, and then ask out loud "Hey, where's the bounce house ?"

Great photos! Thanks Zapp! And good job on Buzz!

The play area looks cute. I wonder how long until it's in dire need of maintenance.

So much for Buzz, being our make-out ride, but I'm glad you made out nicely.

Ah well, there's always space mountain. ("Dad, look, those boys are making out on there!")

MY first thought was, "Well, that's encouraging." Then I remembered Country Bears...

How come we didn't see any of this coveted stuff when we were traipsing around Pirate's backstage areas last week? It would have been so much easier to swipe (er, commandeer).

Not to worry, I'll throw you a backhanded compliment, you made me look like chopped liver. Of course, it was my first (and so far only) time on Buzz. ;)
I was so not even close!
