Cinderella Castle Update


Well folks, Cinderella Castle is nearly complete and decorated for the Happiest Celebration on Earth. If you are in the park, come visit it if not, here is a picture of the concept art. The castle is decorated with golden figures of classic Disney stories such as Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Jungle Book, and the Little Mermaid. It also features a magical stained glass window that changes throughout the day to show all the Disney Castles world wide. It is simply amazing to see. Enjoy!

Simply Amazing

Soarin' Over California

Well, yesterday I road the most amazing ride I have ever been on. As part of the Happiest Celebration on Earth, each Disney Theme Park worldwide will or has already gotten an attraction or show from another Disney Theme Park. At Walt Disney World, Magic Kingdom Park received Cinderellabration from Tokyo Disneyland, Disney-MGM Studios received Lights, Motor, Action Motor Stunt Show from Disneyland Paris, Animal Kingdom will debuted Expedition Everest in January 2006, an all new attraction and last but not least, the subject of this post, Soarin’ over California from Disney’s California Adventure Park has landed at Epcot and simply known as Soarin’ on this side of the country.

Soarin’ is so amazing. It isn’t a roller coaster or a rough ride like Test Track or Mission Space. As you enter the building, you feel as if you have just entered an airport. The Imagineers have based the design of the que. and entry area off of three airports, Charles Degaulle Airport in Paris, Orlando International and Chicago O’Hare. As I walked in, I was simply in amazement on how amazing this building looks. The ride it self as described by Disney is ass follows:

Hold your breath as you experience the ultimate sensation of free flight. Your soarin’ journey takes you from one end of the Golden State to the other in this awe-inspiring scenic tour.

  • Take in immersive breath-taking aerial vistas while flying in this simulated hang glider
  • Your toes dangle just above the awe-inspiring landscapes such as the Golden Gate Bridge and Yosemite
  • Feel the wind in your hair as you see California as you’ve never seen it before!

I was in awe the entire time. You can smell the pine forests and the citrus farms. You will lift your feet up for fear of them getting wet as you soar over the ocean complete with the sea air smell. The whole thing ends as you soar through downtown Los Angeles and right over Main Street USA up to Sleeping Beauty Castle to enjoy a fireworks show complete with Tinkerbell. If you have not had a chance to ride this ride at either Disneyland or on a limited preview here at Walt Disney World, make sure you get to your favorite Disney Theme Park and come home this summer and give this attraction a spin. You will be amazed as your breath is taken away and you are in awe at the beauty of California and of soarin’ over the mountains, ocean, forests and Disneyland in your own hang-glider.

Neverland is Here!

Just a side note, Finding Neverland is out on DVD today. Check it out. One of the best movies of 2004 I think.

Life at the Beach

Well, this weekend has been great. I finally got the chance to get away from Orlando for the first time since last fall. I drove to Naples to meet up with my family for a nice long weekend. This is my third and final day at the pool and beach. I am heading back to work tomorrow and the start of a ten day stetch before my next day off. Back to the sun and fun.

End of Week One

Well, this is the end of my first week at my new location. Strollers is really not what I expected at all. It is actually a lot of fun. What I like the most about it is that it is that it is more of an operations role instead of a merchandise role. It’s a nice change and offers a variety. The Cast is great and the Managers couldn’t be better. I am so happy with my move. I am home early tonight and finishing up packing since I am heading to Naples this weekend to see my family which I haven’t seen in a while. So until then, have a great weekend!
