Happy Palindrome Week Everybody! meaning..... 5/13/15 backwards is... 5/13/15 And it only lasts until the 19th. (I think next year, it happens in June.)

Avacado coffee? I dunno. Even if it is a sweet avacado. The park does look nice Martin, especially in the landscaped areas. Looking forward to more of your trip.

^ Here's a link to the page from the TPR 2007 Japan Tour that explains it. Sort of. http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=191&linkid=3148 Scroll all the way down, to near the end of the page.

Just found this, posted by the Washington Post... Vienna changed some of it's pedestrian crossing lights. (o:

When I/we were last there, on the TPR 2011 Japan Tour, Musical Circus was gone, and I believe some kind of movie attraction was in it's place, but not below ground level. I didn't think they were using the old ride system at all, by then. And a gift shop. And I just found a video link, of the old attraction, you can see... (And pardon the Musical Circus sidebar here.)

^ Chris, is there any chance you're going to be able to get near the ShDL site, for a look see? Or isn't there enough time (or transport resources) in your schedule? Just me being curious.

Also, it's easier to dust the tracks, once the plastic is off.

^ True. But some of these photos I've been finding, are out of order with the rest. So...who knows? They'll open, eventually, heh. Just found out a new Disney Store is opening in Shanghai, right near the Pearl Tower! May 20 is the opening date, and it looks to be a pretty big shop, from the photos I found Disney and More posting on Facebook. (thanks D&M!) So, next time I'm in Shanghai.... Artist rendering - with a great (I believe) Countdown Clock a la' It's A Small World's Clock Tower! Store building from the Tower. With it's 2 not-so Hidden Mickeys. And right over there..... Pearl Tower! (o:

Lady Bird - Lightwater Valley

It's interesting to see, from this aerial photo, the green rectangle there, with a few trees on it. Is this owned space that Phantasialand can use for a future attraction(s)? Or is it privately owned and they can't use it? Just curious. The space looks so obvious for such expansion.

So, banana it is for Minions' Popcorn, LOL! This also reminded me of something we have at our local Safeway in the ice cream cooler... Also available as an ice cream-like "banana" too. And it peels! (Not available at Universal - anywhere)

^ Actually, I think banana would be the perfect flavour for Minions' Popcorn. If they can figure out how NOT to make it too sickly sweet. And hey - it's Japan - they do everything awesome anyway! Examples of popcorn at Disney Sea....

Just putting this out for now - but is there any other park in the world, other than Quassy Amusement Park in CT, that starts with a "Q"? Maybe this should be the FREE TURN space, meaning you hit "Q", you get to jump ahead one letter and do "R". Just a suggestion. Anyway....

Big Hugs to MOMS everywhere! And you don't need a card to say that, hmm?

Speaking of pink (sort of), here's a photo I took at Tivoli park, during the TPR 2014 Scandi Tour. Some nice beautiful landscaping there, especially around the lake in the park itself.

Pickled herring. Yum. (o:
