Spirited Monday Musings:
Not many. I guess it's just another manic Monday ...
I did not yet get to mention that I think all the talk about how bad Casey's redo was was ... well, misplaced. They added seating. They kept the area themed. I don't think they destroyed the place by removing the bleachers and toon screen.
I don't think I've bitched yet (on this thread anyway) about how bad MK shops look with huge swaths cleared out for 500-pounders to be able to drive thru on their ECVs. It totally has destroyed any sense of theming and place in those shops.
Not sure if I have mentioned it yet, but sometime in the not too distant future Little Mermaid and BTMRR will have the DL upgrades added. I believe BTMRR will come first as much of that can be done at night. Mermaid is likely going down at some slow period next year to get the new ending.
Had a great dinner tonight with a MAGICal member who is charming, witty and just plain fun. The food was good, but the conversation that ranged from Disney's parking fees to the new parade's dragon to white supremacy in the Disney fan community was out of this world. Yeah, it was that kind of conversation!
Prior to dinner, I did the next best thing to visiting the MK: yep, I hit the local Disney outlet store. I didn't spend a penny as they just don't have anything that I have to have or even want to have. What a familiar story.
Checked out a few of the other discussion boards here of late and ... and ... well, it's just best that I basically only post on this one.
Iger's Maker Studios acquisition, which had hit a few snags, apparently is now a go:

Don't know why, but I think something newsy will come out this week ... will it be released by me? Not sure yet.
