I've always found those hole in the wall places to be pretty amazing. I love 'real' fries like those, and the sandwich looks great!

Psyclone really was extremely painful. I try to forget that ride even existed.

I haven't heard much either way at all about windows 8. Normally you hear how terrible it is, or that it's the greatest thing ever. Windows 8 is talked about as much as the Wii U, which is virtually never. I don't like the way it looks, but what makes it so terrible. I'm still using XP on most of my windows computers.

^^It will be interesting to see how this works for Universal. Disney got rid of there Soap Opera weekend a couple of years ago, so it will be interesting to see how this smaller event with only one soap opera works out.

I really hope they have an update soon! The last one was way too small. I also need to expand my town a little more and build up Burn's Mansion.

That just seems so odd to me that they would start an investigation based on an newspaper article. I guess it's better than the business doing whatever they want, and only getting investigated after they broke laws, but it just seems odd to me. Oh well, nothing I can do about it!

That does make more sense. It just odd that that a member of congress is requesting all this compliance information before anything has actually been implemented, and based 100% on a New York Times article. I understand it's just a request for information, but basing it solely on a newspaper article seems pretty bad to me. I would think they would have to wait for a complaint before they should even care.

Really incredible update! Lot's of awesome pictures and crazy China stuff! I would definitely love to visit this park someday. Thanks for the update!

That guy's an idiot. It's really no different than all the information all the companies all over the world currently collect. iTunes, cell phones, credit cards, cruises, shopping malls, tv, almost everything we do is used by the companies we do business with to collect our data. It's called marketing. He really does have a thing against the amusement park industry.

I got a parking lot. Just one.

Totally. That's really sad. Talk about letting yourself go, and then some!

I love the fog picture!

How is the food at HKDL? Is it anywhere near TDL and Disney Sea?

Hopefully Xcelerator gets re-painted, with a new color scheme. I wish they were getting something major, but anything is better than Perilous Plunge. I never rode it when I visited because of the cycle times.

Interesting idea. I go to quite a bit of 3D movies and if the focus is even slightly off it can ruin the picture. That being said, I wonder how well the effect would work on movin/falling water. Could be really cool if they get it right. Also, I could see them putting this effect more in the inside shows like A Bug's Life, or my hope, Muppet Vision 3D.

All these merchandising people need to be fired.

I'm loving all the pictures of parks in the snow. Maybe because it hides all the faded paint and bad landscaping.

The winners were all really really good! Loved seeing all the other ones as well!

As long as he doesn't get rid of the crepe and mini doughnut location I'll be happy! SFDK is such a unique park, in a relatively tough northern california market, that they really do need a good park president. I really hope this new guy does a great job!

I've heard it was close to this bad was when they first offered the Goofy. I've ran every Disneyland 1/2 except for the first one, and a few WDW marathon/goofy races and have never seen it even close to this bad. I've never see the 1/2 sell out this fast, but every year it's been earlier and earlier. I can't believe that only 3 days after opening every single race is already full! I'm scared for next year!

You'd think that in this economy they would want them to succeed. Either let them open it and give them good terms or say no and let someone build something else.

As long as it's better than the prequels, I'll be happy!

I still haven't heard from RunDisney about our actual registration, but a lady did call this morning to get Amy's credit card for her paper registration since Amy forgot a number. So at least now both of our credit cards have been charged. I received a generic confirmation email, but like I said before, the link to verify the info didn't work, and a call to Active.com said that I wasn't registered for any race. So we'll see, but at least we can show that we did pay for the race! They did offer Disney Visa members early access to registration, and they also offered early registration to AP members. I think they announced it on their Twitter feed, as I don't recall seeing anything on the websites, emails, or Facebook, but I may be wrong. Disney is notorious for having terrible servers for special event signups that something this big could cause them to go to a lottery system. Hopefully not, but we'll see!

That would be awesome. You wouldn't even need to tender!

I love the 'Oh Crap' faces!
