I'm Walking Right Down The Middle of Starbucks USA

Wow, Starbucks in Disney Parks.  I'm pretty sure this is the worst idea Disney has had in a long time.

I could understand putting one in Downtown Disney or even in the resorts, but in the Parks!  The last thing I want to see is people walking around the parks with their Starbucks cups.  Are they going to sell their crappy hipster music too?  Will you need a FastPass?

Even if they "theme" each restaurant (shop?) it's still going to be an eye sore.  Why don't we just lease the Main Street shops to Target and Best Buy while we're at it?

Ugh....

Mondo's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Poster.

Today Mondo released a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Poster designed by Ken Taylor.  Limited to only 390 it sold out in seconds (like every Mondo poster does).  if you want to pay a huge mark up you can head on over to ebay, if not, you can look at it here. (click to enlarge, great details)

The poster size is 24x36.

America The Musical 1988.

All of these shots are from the same trip in 1988. They were all together, but it's hard to imagine they are all from the same parade.  Hippy Pooh and surfing Tigger seem really out of place.

Surfing Tigger??!!

Practical Pig is never having fun....

Psychedelic Pooh.

I love "stern face" Captain Hook

Indian Chip n Dale

My Uncle's Map

My Uncle recently found a Disneyland map that his Grandparents bought in 1958.  The condition is pretty great.  I took some pictures of it with my phone, enjoy.

Check out the "Haunted House"

The Matterhorn had not opened yet!

Tower of Terror Portrait Session

One of the options Disney gives you when you have a Disney wedding is an early morning portrait session in one of the parks.  The Magic Kingdom was off limits for the two weeks we would be in the park (because apparently they do not like the portrait sessions) so we decided to go with MGM/DHS.  Here are a few shots we took in and around the Tower of Terror a few days after the wedding.

20 Feet Under The Sea

Did you know that at Disney's Castaway Cay there is a sunken Nautilus from the old 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea ride?  Did you also know that I went there in December and braved the cold water to take photos of it for you guys?  Well, I did!

Here's a picture of a Nautilus in its glory days.

What's interesting is that the parts you could not see when the ride was open are now the only parts you see.  Meaning, it is now upside down, sunken in the sand.

I also found this guy hanging out down there.
