Or Somebody is playing loud music so the entire parking lot can hear it, I suppose they might turn it down so their order gets heard. makes me mad.

Am I becoming Disneytized? :yahoo:

Good evening everyone! Or morning/afternoon, depending on where you are!

Australia Day was pretty good. Went to the beach for a bit, weather was great. It was a beautiful 25C (77F), walked down the jetty again and took a few photos, then we went for an ice cream! So good!! We finally started getting my study ready. We put the desk together that I've had since Christmas, I've transferred most of my novels over to my bigger bookcase (still have 3 more boxes of books to put away). Tomorrow we will put together my desk chair (flat pack from Ikea), and I'll start displaying my Disney stuff, as well as posters, and canvases etc :D I' also need to put up a few more wedding and honeymoon photos!

Think that is bad you ought to see the pictures of Norway's Maelstrom. Gag.

Maelstrom is awful. The ceiling while you are waiting in the queue looks rotted and like its gonna come falling down at any second.

I think that is the theme of the whole FLE. Not really that much to do, but it does look nice.

Wish I could have a glass of wine and stroll that area after dark then wander the grounds of FLE. Storybook wasn't really part of FLE, more it replaced everything they tore down from Toon, the did reuse one of the Dumbo's, Goofy, Tents. With the demolition they lost two splash areas and replaced with one big one.
Storybook has a more permanent feel than Toon but I actually had fond memories of Toon and my kids growing up with it.

I miss Toontown also. Storybook did turn out nice though.

The falling rock feature will not ever return from what I've been told.

The rocks are working. I freaked out when I notice that last month

I painted quite a bit today. Except that the ceiling paint makes me itch so that wasn't good. Only have a little bit more and the duplex is ready to rent. Carpet gets replaced this week too.

I was just there this past week but I still can't tell its a new track but I do notice the new paint and some other trivial things with the hot springs. It will be interesting to see the new Queue but I didn't see any work but then I did have a bit of tunnel vision and it was night. That falling rock sat there for the longest time with no motion, its about time they removed it. I had hoped the new track would bring some added thrill, not, but its still fun as always.

Oxygen forms approximately 47% of the crust of the Earth.

A lot of people lost their houses during the Great Depression. These people ended up in shanty towns, which were also called Hoovervilles after the name of the president(Herbert Hoover).

Interesting related fact- in 2009 I found an article talking about California and they used the term Hooverville. Specifically it talked about Gov. Schwarzenegger (is that spelled correct?) shutting down Hoovervilles.
