With new track, new cars and a facelift to make Joan Rivers jealous, the matterhorn will reopen this summer. The cars are the coolest. They retain the same kind of look but there will be three seperate seats now instead of sharing the same seat. Which is good because my seat mate always ends up waying about 100 pounds more than me and insist on sitting in front of me, squishing me flat.
View on black and I will give you a facelift to make Joan jealous.

Fine. Does anybody have a little baggy?

OK, Which One Of You Put Up That Sign!
Tom awoke to a beautiful morning. He hopped out of bed, wiped the buggers from his eyes and strolled out to the yard for some grub when he noticed the new sign hanging below the old sign.
All I can say is I've never heard a Turkey swear so much before.

Especially since I never noticed the goat standing on the rock until I was processing the photo. I was so focused on the turkey that kept staring at the Don't Feed The Animals sign.
Mater Stole My Teeth!
I saw Mater and Lightning at a photo op promoting Cars Land at Disney California Adventure. I noticed Mater sporting some fine looking teeth. My Teef, MY TEEF I hollered. Give me Back my TEEF you Feef!! They tossed me over the wall and into the river.

Sunflare, Jet Streams And Wishing Wells
My knees popped as knelt down to get the perfect shot for Cliche Saturday. I couldn't believe my luck, it was the motherlode of cliches. Wishing Wells, Sky, Sunflare, Jet Stream all rolled into one. I wasn't low enough, so I leaned further down on my already aching knee. Click click click. I got it! Standing up, knees yelling YIPPEE, I was on a hot streak. Why not make it better I thought to myself. I reached into my pocket, found some lose change, took two steps, tripped, fell into the well. I was horrified! As I fell into the dark abyss, I screamed for help. I hit the bottom with a squishy thud. I lay there, moaning, fading in and out. The last thing I saw before blacking out was a six year old looking over the side of the well a foot up. "You big baby" she said, and tossed a coin at me. It was a penny. The cheapskate.

Honk Honk Means Get Out Of The Way
To get this shot, I took my glasses off. This is what I saw. Right in the middle of saying, oohhhh look at all the pretty colors, there was a Honk Honk. So I flapped my arms around my head to try and keep the duck from pooping on me. I'm pretty sure I heard the driver snickering as the big bus ran over me.

With Style And Grace And All That Jazz
Disney gets it right most of the time but on occasion, they knock the ball right out of the park. And they did that with this. This is Princess Tiana’s Mardi Gras Celebration and they parade through New Orleans singing and dancing and having a blast I have to tell you, I usually run from these. Yes, they are cool but they get quite crowded. But this was not the same. The music started and I could see them off in the distance parading down the street. I was entranced. I pushed, shoved, bit (don't judge me) my way to the front of the crowd and had a blast.
I'm pretty sure Princess Tiana winked at me. Come to think of it, so did the Prince. I think the Aligator did too now that you mention it.

Falling For Adventure
Out of breath, I reached the top of Tarzan's Tree House. As I climbed the last two feet, I stepped on my shoe lace, lost balance and went over the side. This was the last shot I took just before falling to the bushes below. Is it bad that all I thought of on the way down was, hmmm Bengal Barbecue sounds good for lunch?

Another One Bites The Dust
The trains keep running away, it's situated next to a big Mexican Restaurant, it's called "Big Thunder" and yet we don't get a lot of lightning here and the Mayor wants to know why everyone keeps dying off in this stinking town. It's a ... oops, pardon me ... mystery.

Hello. Hello? HELLO???
When I saw the challenge for Leaning, I knew what I wanted to shoot. There is this very cool garden area at the end of Main Street USA, just to the left of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. I wound my way through the crowds to the perfect spot. I aimed my camera, pushed the shutter button, seven shots went off, I smiled then frowned. The pictures looked like they were gonna come out good but ... I don't think the tree is actually leaning. I think it's more asleep. I poked it with a stick a couple of times, nothing. I yelled a bit, nothing. I reached over and splashed cold water from the pond on its face, Nothing. Stupid tree. I'm posting it anyway, those people in the Our Daily Challenge group will NEVER know that it's not actually leaning, that it's just asleep.

The Dark Alley Of Tomorrow
This is the crime scene where I got mugged. I told the Disney Police everything. I was walking along this dark alley below the Castle when this Five Year old girl jumped out at me yelling "BOO!" Well of course I threw up my hands, screamed and dropped my cotton candy which she snatched from the air before it hit the ground. I pointed my finger at her, shaking, You give me that back you ... she kicked me in the shin before I could say the bad word that was coming from my lips. The Disney Police found me an hour later, rolling around on the ground, holding my shin, crying Owy Owy Owy! I

Don't Sneeze, Don't Sneeze, Don't Sneeze
I slowly walked up to the intimidating Lunar New Year Dragon. I ran all the questions I had to ask through my head, hoping not to forget any. My first assignment as a reporter, it had to be perfect. As I approached it, I realised it had a cold. My feet moved a little slower, my shoulders dropped a little lower as I realized a horrible thought. Gawd, I hope he doesn't sneeze. He'd sizzle whats left of my hair right off my head. My stomach started dancing to Chubby Checkers The Twist as I got closer, the words "Don't Sneeze" crowding out the questions in my head I had for him. Closer. Closer. I was right up to him now. Don't sneeze, don't sneeze, don't sneeze. Looking down at me, he grimaced, head drawing back, mouth opening, I could see the beginnings of a spark. I farted. He sneezed. I screamed. There was an explosion.

Between Fantasy And Future
While walking on the path between the Matterhorn and the Autopia at Disneyland, I happened to look down and found this very cool Anenome flower with a little Daisy lying cupped in it's petals. I don't know if it fell there or if someone put it there, but it looked quite natural and happy
