I think the tips are spot on. And I totally think that the ferris wheel (Sun Wheel) in California Adventure is the scariest Disney attraction.

DLRP Today has a bunch of images from Frontierland in Disneyland Paris. Disneyland Paris is celebrating it's 15th year anniversary and with the party comes a new coat of paint. Apparently it was badly needed.

As part of their 15th anniversary celebrations, the resort has been working overtime to get two brand new rides, Crush’s Coaster and the Cars Race Rally, completed. Now all they needed was some willing volunteers to come and see what all their hard work had achieved.

It’s ashame but true. Tomorrowland is far from futuristic anymore. Everything futuristic has either come true (microwave ovens) or is so unlikely (hover cars), that there is little imagination lent to the idea. The best the imagineers have done is the Carousel of Progress which features not to imaginitive near term technologies that feel more like an advertisement for a consumer product than a fantastic vision of tomorrow.

Jason Wood, you just won a game for the Marlins with your first pinch home run in the major leagues.What are you going to do now?

Get up early this morning and drive to Disney World, believe it or not.

“My wife and I have been before, but our three girls never have,” Wood said Wednesday afternoon after his three-run homer propelled the Marlins to a 5-4 win over the White Sox. “Pretty good timing, huh?”

The combination of a Marlins off day and Daniela Wood’s fourth birthday on Father’s Day sparked the idea. Her father’s unlikely heroics should make everything from the drive to the lines seem shorter.
