^ LOL! Now which theme park was this taken, at? Thanks, Bert. I was trying to be more, uh...."low key" this time 'round, what with Covid all last year, etc. So I brought up the B-Day in other threads, heh.

For my "Birthday Dinner" yesterday (I turned 68!!!), David bought us a take out burger meal from Vera's on The Drive. And he added Onion Rings to his (I do miss those filters), and I added Fries to mine. Excellent, as always. http://www.verasburgershack.com/ For David. For myself.

^ Adding some landscaping around it would be nice, though.

Back to my glowing self, today. Now 68 years old!!! A Double Aries. Deal with it. "I see you shiver. With antici ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pation."

Today is my 68th Birthday!!! And husbear David gave me earlier, a $100 Amazon.ca Gift Card for the occasion! Smart bear, trained him good. And I just immediately blew the whole thing on four items, and still had to pay a few $$$ more. But the shipping is free and excellent, from our past orders with them. Here's 3 of the 4... (4th was plain boring slippers) Always wanted a waffle-4-one maker. And "Purple Galaxy" was too awesome to pass up! Had to try this. TJs isn't around these parts, sadly. A pricey way to enjoy Kit Kats. But the box alone, made me want to get a pack! (And the empty Fuji Box, I will keep afterwards, lol.)

Hello (Again) Adele

^ And those are all the attractions* in the new DisneySea expansion, called Fantasy Springs, currently being built. * Except I'm still real IFFY on whether the Frozen attraction is still a boat ride in TDS, or something else... TestTrack/IndyJones-like? That's just me. Same for Zootopia in ShDL.... TestTrack attraction. And the New Peter Pan attraction is supposed to resemble a "boat ride" but it looks like (from prior video PR), it might be something like the Avatar Flight attraction in WDW-AK. Very exciting!

I look at those photos .... and .... woof.

This one was the on-ride photo, taken on Coaster, on the last day of last year's Playland Season. Sept.07-2020 With 2017's CP's CoasterMANIA! t-shirt on. Which includes <sighs> Pipe Scream.

^ Congrats, you young scholar!

New addition to TDLR's Monorail Family.... "Blue" is the new "Type-C" monorail at the Resort. Thank you to Twitter user @P29294180 for the photo.

^ When I went in 2017, you had to have either a one day admission to the park, or a passholder pass .... and then you paid for the event. I didn't have a pass so I paid more for the event. But I expected that. So they probably will handle it the same way. When they post everything for it, you'll be able to see for yourself. Here's the link to it: https://www.cedarpoint.com/events/coastermania And have an awesome time there! And as Bert would (probably) suggest..... DO NOT FORGET TO RIDE CEDAR DOWNS! See? Bert really lovvves Cedar Downs! June 05-2017.

^ They're proposing exactly what Tokyo DisneySea is now doing, with their extension called Fantasy Springs. For the gp it's one entry/exit between Raging Spirits coaster and Flying Carpets. And a new hotel which like the Californian in DCA, allows those who stay at it, special entry to the extension park. But in this case, both Disneyland and Paradise Hotels will suffice with the same perk. The extensions don't fit with the original "shape" of each park, But then, ToonTown wasn't planned within the original berm of DL. And HKDL has practically surrounded the train tracks around the park with extra space for extra "miniLands" to exist. And if (hopefully) it does work in TDS ... who knows? And just because, here's the view from our Disneyland Hotel room, Easter weekend....1980! And there's The Parking Lot in question, that would turn into an extension of DCA. In the distance, you can see the DL parking lot, which became DCA - the current view would see the IncrediCoaster of Pixar Pier, from the back. And of course, the Convention Center is still there, And the Paradise Pier Hotel would eventually be "somewhere" in the middle there. Maybe on that 1980's plot of green land, perhaps?

^ Fantastic in "Arrested Development". RIP Jessica.

Playland~PNE just posted... https://careers-pne.icims.com/jobs/search?hashed=-626010000&mobile=false&width=1200&height=500&bga=true&needsRedirect=false&jan1offset=-480&jun1offset=-420 Interesting to note, that nowhere in any of the pages with the forms and such there, is it noted the "Operating Schedule" of Playland, i.e. From When To When for the workers' contracts? I have the feeling they are holding those dates back, so no info. is inferred by us nosey Playland Fanbois, lolol. But they have said May as a starting date area for re-opening. So stay tuned...

^ And ..... Is it me, or is nothing a coaster ride? Actually, there are a number of attractions that probably wouldn't be boat rides... TRON, a coaster; Zootopia, probably a tracked ride; Peter Pan, TDS' Fantasy Springs' version is possibly to be more like Pandora's Flight; Frozen, HKDL's and Paris' version will probably be boat rides. But TDS' version, I am still certain, would be tracked or trackless. My 7 cents. EDIT To Add: Actually if there was one clone attraction that could come to DL, please let it be the ShanghaiDL's PIRATES ride! Hey, two Peter Pan attractions in TDLR, why not two Pirates in DLR? <grin>

Yes!

I just found this new site on another site. And ...... wow! All around the Disneyland Hotels, too. Totally unexpected! In an awesome way.

I some times joke to people, that social distancing can be like a bad chess game. ^^ Sort of verifies it for me, lol.

Listening to an awesome live performance at Carnegie Hall in New York city .... "Peter Allen Captured LIVE at Carnegie Hall". A cd that covers a 2 LP release back in 1985. I have the LPs in their original cover. And I wondered if i would ever hear this amazing live recording again. Today, I got the cd of the LPs. The concert was in 1984. The LPs came out in 1985. And I saw him LIVE on Australia Day at our 1986 World's Fair!

That Donut ..... That Pretzel ..... My Stomach .... Whatever .... Drool.

This new snack case, has just been posted at TDLR and TOMICA ..... and I am "yeah duh" getting one, via eBay! It's my favourite live show in the Tokyo Disney Resort. Will see a show every visit, as long as it's running. EDIT: Scored one! BBB (in DisneySea) stands for Big Band Beat, btw ..... this will be available at the end of March. Then .... one's mine, all mine!

^ Actually, I thought he posted "The Onion" on first glance.
