^^ Ooooo a new element! -
^ True, but the whole "Orlando" thing got great laughs from the audience, nonetheless.

Shanghai Disney Resort Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to Dr Freeze's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Just found a new photo in Screamscape, sent in by by Alain of Disney & More (thanks!), showing the (practically) entire layout of the Crystal Grotto Boat Ride, which also goes inside under the massive castle, there. I always thought the load/unload station might be inside the castle itself, but now I'm not sure. The building to the middle-right there looks like a station, but it might also be a restaurant and/or a shop. Or...both! The photo, with attraction titles over a lot of other stuff in the park! -
^ LOL, it does make me wonder what kind of theme they would come up with, for an entirely new park? I mean, Marvel is already showing up in the Magic Kingdom (Iron Man Experience). So I wouldn't think it would be a Marvel themed park, etc. Oooo maybe they'll give Ocean Park a run for the money, and create a marine/ocean themed park? A "wet" version of Animal Kingdom! Time will tell. EDIT to add the Balloon Check photo from Screamscape, in my previous post.

We FINALLY saw The Book of Mormon last night.... omgomgomgomg omgomgomgomg It was really everything I hoped it would be. Smart book, great songs, amazing cast... We stood up, the second the curtain opened for the bows. Everybody did! An entire HUGE theatre of 2700+ people stood up and cheered! It was awesome! I loved all the leads, but especially A.J. Holmes as Elder Cunningham. He was nowhere like what I thought he'd be. Knowing Josh Gad was the Original Elder Cunningham, this guy put a totally different spin on the character. And he was Awesome! I loved him! So glad we got to finally see this show. And if I'd had the $$$, I would have gotten a ticket for every night it played here (only six nights, sadly).

RE: Walt Disney World and Selfie Sticks
Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This was taken at Tokyo Disneyland, but the premise is the same. We asked a couple, strolling through the park, if they could take our photo. And they happily obliged.... Better than any selfie I could take, OR with a selfie stick, hmm? (TPR 2013 Japan Tour) -

To I305forever... First of all... "NO"? I tried to figure that out but...I got nothing of it. There's Mystic Manor, and that's certainly unique to the "haunted mansion" collection. And there's the other stuff, others have mentioned, above. And - give them time! Disneyland opened with nearly 1/3 of the property undeveloped, in 1955. Same happened for most Disney parks incl. WDW. And HKDL was a nice welcome change when we visited in 2012. Lots of space to move around, and plenty of space available for future development. Which will include Iron Man Experience, opening in 2017. And I read that it looks like (rumor) they're already working on the idea of building a second park, in the next several years, opposite the HK Magic Kingdom.

A few minutes ago. I had to "play" with my burger, to keep it together. When was the last time you whistled? -

^ Thanks. And hey, at least you had good intentions about The Keg. More than likely, the franchise will around for some time to come, lol. Glad to see that you did walk around the city. And I hope the show was a good one.
