SpyOptic
These are hot! I have an older pair of Spy sunglasses that I have had for 7 years. They are worth the extra money.

Candyman
The concert the other evening with Chrisitna and the Pussy Cat Dolls was worth the money & the wait. Today I found a link to the new "Candyman" video. See it below or at mtv.com

Buzz Lightyear Ride
In Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom there was a great ride themed on Buzz Lightyear. Two people rode in a car & you could spin the car with a joystick. While turning you had to use your laser cannon to shoot yellow circle with a "z" to score points. We rode it 3 times. It was like a giant videogame.

Tin Toys
At the Japanese Pavillion in the World Showcase at EPCOT there was a huge display of tin toys. I took this for a desktop wallpaper. Ignore the flash.

This was a cool poster at the Japanese Pavillion at the World Showcase. The eyes look like they are glowing from the flash.

Superman's Fortress of Solitude
When I was a kid, I lived for stuff out of comics like this. I would draw my own cities, cars, ships & superheroes. I guess a lot of boys do. Anyhow, this was so neat to me. I came across it in a recent Action Comics Annual.

NxtUp...Disney Trip
Pop Century
In our means and a place to relax. A far cry from the Animal Kingdom Lodge or swank Boardwalk, but fun all the same.
Pop Century is on the grounds and close to everything in the "World".

Magic Kingdom
It is true, being there does make you feel like a kid again.

Pirate & Princess Party
On one of the evenings we went to a 'private' party. Pirate or Princess attire suggested. Staff handed out maps to treasure
and a bag to carry your spoils. It was fun to 'argh' at kids for no reason.

EPCOT
EPCOT has some great rides, Soarin', Mission Space & Test Track. Otherwise Disney need to reimagine their idea of a future community. It looked a little tired from what I remember it to be back in the late 90s. They did have a pumpkin shaped liked Mickey Mouse.

MGM Studios
MGM was a great place to eat. The night we arrived, Eric & I ate at the Sci-Fi Dinner. Patrons sit in 'cars' and watch a loop of old sci-fi movies on a 'drive-in' screen, On one of the last days there we ate at a 50s type diner that was decorated with tons of 50's objects and old tv screens at tables. The parade of stars was cute to see. Being an adult you are so 'ho hum', but then the stars start driving by and you think to yourself 'ewwwh it's Buzz Lightyear'.

Animal Kingdom
A big highlight was Animal Kingdom. This place was so well done. I loved it. We rode the safari ride three times over the seven days we were there. Disney has done such a nice job. The different areas have so much detail.

World Showcase
This place still looks good after all this time. There is room for Holland and some other country.

Magic Kingdom
Something cool that we did not know was that there are photographers on the grounds that take your picture, scan a given
card with your barcode. You go online and buy and/or look at your pix. Disney added the ghost without our knowledge. Cute.

The Grammys
After being in Disney for a week I am just catching up with the world. I scanned thru the Grammys on Tivo and found MJB
looking fantastic in her red bell bottom jumpsuit. Love her.
