Just curious - anybody have new photos and/or videos (or links to) of current construction going on at Grizzly Gulch and Mystic Manor? Thanks in advance.

^ We saw "The Lion King" as a tour here, well over a year ago. And even with the sets and effects somewhat minimalized for touring purposes, it was still an awesome experience, visually and musically. And as for "Newsies" - - can't make it to New York right now. So will happily (for now) wait for the original cast cd, coming out May 15th. Can't wait! Extra! Extra! Hear all about it! May 15th!

The flashmob looked fun. A great way to kick off the birthday. Sorry it won't be happening in 2014 when we get there for a visit. But by then - Ratatouille should be open, woo hoo!

And, considering the actual limited land space that the Tokyo Disney Resort has for it's own expansion in either park, compared to what WDW's Magic Kingdom (or any of it's four parks) can do (i.e. extending the new Fantasyland over old 20K site and then some...), I think TDR is doing amazing with what it has.

^ Yay - progress!

^^ Maybe they'll be selling them, LOL! And the Woody head still looks scary. But hey - it's Tokyo Disney Sea. Whatever...

Just saw "Wrath of The Titans". It was fun. Relentless. Loud. Big 3D. Fun. And Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson looked (and sounded) like they were enjoying themself, playing against (and with) each other, as Hades and Zeus.

So, has anybody got any new pix, or new links, of the current progress on Mania? Just curious. And excited. And wanting to go back ASAP, lol!

Combined.

Woo hoo! Can't wait to get the (first) soundtrack of this great (IMhO) series. And it has several of the "Marilyn" musical numbers, they rehearsed and 'workshopped' in the subsequent episodes. Can't wait! What a show, what a cast, what great writing, songs, numbers. GLEE for adults, LOL!

Well, well. Another year flown by. Happy Birthday TF! Honestly, you don't look a day over.......uh.... 20?

TDS Rawks! And thanks for the reminders of why, Divv. Want to live there for a week, lolol.

^ It's going to be interesting to see if they can pull off some kind of series' soundtrack cd with some of the original (and non-) numbers written for SMASH. Whatever the case - can't wait till the First Season DVD comes out!

Heh heh. What my partner David calls, "soft paws" for Stella. She will grab a hand or arm at times, but rarely (for now) brings those sharp, pointy things out, lol. Good kitty.

Crap. (In an OMG good kinda way!) When ARE we going back to Japan??????? (EDIT to add: And if TDS did make Mania a trackless ride - I can easily imagine how Imagineering would up the ante and make it a true crazy carnival of shooting booths with these cars going absotutely NUTS inside there, LOL. Pooh's Party Dream Room... PLUSSED!)

I'm a SMASHer! It's the adult version of GLEE (IMhO) and all about puttin' on a show. Broadway Warts and all, lol. Great original score and songs. The weaving in and out of rehearsal and onstage performance - amazing! Editing should get an EMMY nom. I hope it does well for a few seasons at least.

^ Sounds good to me. I had thought, with that corner of the TDS property, they might create some kind of larger coaster ride, like "Expedition: Everest". But with "Raging Spirits" so close by in the same 'land'... probably not.

"I'm Still Here" sung by the incredible Elaine Paige in the now-closed awesome Brdwy Revival of Stephen Sondheim/James Goldman's (IMhO ) Musical Theatre Masterpiece... ~ FOLLIES ~ It's awesome. Get a copy. You won't regret it. Musical theatre at it's best.

That's an Awesome True TPR-Review Shot, Craig! lolol. Sorry it didn't feel right, to your expectations of it. But - still a credit, right? Me, behind Hanno, and Robb - on Anaconda at WalyGator Parc. Yep - still true, I've heard. (2008 TPR Europe Tour)

^ Jeff Johnson are you listening? ^ Newest pic of our new cat, Stella. We started opening the basement cat door for her to come and go as she wants to. And so far - The Cat Comes Back, LOL! Our neighbours are meeting her and letting us know how friendsly and pretty she is. Such a lady. (Yeah and then miss feeding her and see/hear what happens, huh?) And not even a year old yet! All quiet now. But wait till she's hungry or Wants - Attention - NOW.

Or both, combined in one building??? Hey - I can dream too, hmm?

The new wheel looks lovely in the park, Peter. I assume it's like one of the Japanese wheels I am so fond of riding - slowly - continuously - moving? (sorry, didn't read anything about it till now, here) And so much expansion space availablle to the park! Thanks for updates, Peter. I really think that after Tokyo Disney Sea, and Europa, THIS is my 3rd park in my Fave Five, heh heh.

"My Same" from the Live at The Royal Albert Hall dvd/CD ~ Adele ~ I am so amazed at the jazz and blues-yness this young woman has in her wonderful voice. I think the 'standards' that she's had as hits don't do her as much justice as a few of her lesser known "hits". Awesone artist. Would really enjoy seeing her live.

^ Agreed. When are we going back to Japan, again? Just read at http://www.dlrpmagic.com that it was a journalist's ERROR that reported two attractions to be opening in 2014 at WDS. The Disney company has just contacted somebody and explained the error. "Une" became "Deaux" apparently, lol. Ah well - it was a nice rumor while it lasted.
