Also disneyland has put the Matterhorn on the refurbishment calendar from January 5 through May 13, maybe they will fix the seats for the 60 year and add the Christmas star on the Matterhorn again.

It's a rehab for show quality and work issues. The star is coming back, but I can't see them installing it now.

Those dates also would indicate to me that the 60th Anniversary Celebration will start on 5/15/15.

Lots of entertainment for the 60th anniversary. New parades, new pyro, new WoC, new stage show etc.

Something in Hollywoodland at DCA in the near term and, quite likely, a Marvel presence as Micechat has reported.

Toontown going bye-bye for Star Wars further out.

Thanks for the info! I'll always have a soft spot for the original Kingdom.

you know that it is never an either or ... especially in different divisions ... I just knew it was a flawed concept from the start. Riding it just proved my feelings were justified.

I can't help but think a few Imagineers figured that out in the 1960s. I had fun, but with how big the lawyers made the vehicles you were never going to replicate the action seen of those two times it worked in the 1960s.

I'm pretty sure I will never feel the need to eat anything called "burgushi."

Two interesting (to me, anyway) reads. One that has a lot to do with Disney, one nothing at all.

This is from a blog on Deb Wills' site and I just thought it was interesting because this was the WDW experience I lived and grew up with. I dare anyone to say it wasn't classier than today's Walmarted version of whoring Disney's BRANDS for the masses:

And this is only for those who enjoy flying coast to coast up in the front of the aircraft:

I have a few bottles of the shiraz. No chardonnay as I generally am not a fan. ... No cookie butter. Never had that. I wanted some frozen items and will be going back for that. I don't shop at Whole Food because I'm just not THAT wealthy. Publix is fine for a regional grocery chain (they are good for at least one sub a week from their deli too!)

But Trader Joe's isn't a place that I will do regular shopping at either. They are a niche operator. A place to go once in a while and get some items that you can't get elsewhere. But I wouldn't go there weekly. But to watch some folks grabbing stuff (again, the store opened Friday), you'd think either they were starving or this was the best food on the planet. I don't get that mentality at all. But I also am not a big fan of Dole Whips and Butterbeer and I also think that while In 'N' Out Burger is good, it is highly overrated too ... so, yeah, I'm a wee bit hard to please.

I don't quite understand the rampant fascination some people have with Trader Joe's either. Do they have some neat products? Sure. But at the end of the day its just a fancier, upgraded Aldi. Fun to go to every now and then but not a place I would do "regular" shopping at. Oddly enough, I've yet to try their 2 buck (now 3 buck) Chuck wines. Been on my to do list but never get around to it.

Whole Foods isn't too unaffordable if you pick and choose your items. But much like TJ's, I would choose to do a weekly shop elsewhere.

All that said, man do I miss Publix. Been over 5 years since I left Florida for DC and I still can't get over how lousy DC's supermarkets are. Safeway, Giant, Harris Teeter...none of them even comes remotely close to Publix.

I'm glad I'm not alone in my hatred of DC/Baltimore metro area supermarkets. Bad produce, horrible product selection, a lot of the stores are old and kind of dirty looking...not a fan.
