A Couple Cool Pix from DLP at Xmas

innerSpaceman · 01-04-2006, 12:11 PM

Yeah, all in all - I don't like the Christmas decorations for Main Street and the Hub at DLP. The chandeliers are an improvement over the arches ... but if they look crappy during the day, then it's pointless.

The arches are beautiful in their own right, but they wreck the theming of Main Street, U.S.A. and block the view of the Castle. That's what they get for insisting that Disney park castles must be 12-storeys tall.

And though the lighting is sorta interesting, I can't say that I'm overly fond of the treatment to Sleeping Beauty's (not Belle's) Castle. (That kind of mistake irks me ... it was so cool the other night to hear the following exchange at Disneyland: Stupid Guest: "Where's the Haunted House?" ... Popcorn Vendor CM (pointing): "The Haunted Mansion is right over there, Sir.")

Yeah, stupid people who don't spend all their free time at Disneyland learning the right names for things.

Oops, I mean Disneyland Park.

Or Resort.

Whatever.

I'd have smacked the popcorn vendor.

Oh yeah, pretty pictures!

Heh heh- I'm with you, Gn2. Ever been corrected by the stupid Starbucks barrista? Don't ever order in ounces- drives them crazy! They'll correct you with an "Uhm, you mean Grande?" or vente or tall... Corporate requires that they use StarSpeak instead of the regular latte vernacular. I sometimes **** with them when I have a bit of spare time.

Sir, do you mean to besmirch Mr. Maniac's good name in Disney knowledge? I will not stand for it!
