Custodial drawn Mickeys

Since summer at least, we've seen Custodial CMs "paint" Mickey faces on the concrete using just water and bound up brooms. It's a cool effect.

This one is great for being a full Mickey body, and also for the artistry. I like this minor addition to the parks.

DisneyQuest when slow

Usually DisneyQuest is busy on weekends. Not sure why it's manageable today. Someday I will soak up a whole day here just learning to play Dragon's Lair, the game that would have cost a fortune in my youth

LMA tires

On the Backlot Tour they no longer say anything about the tires for Lights Motors Action stage show. It's an automated spiel, so this is permanent.

They used to boast how often tires had to be changed, and on the tram they drove by a window that showed dozens and dozens of tires waiting to be used. That tire room is no longer visible because the window has been boarded up. One assumes they decided it was environmentally unfriendly to keep pointing out how many resources like rubber this show uses.

Less food, same price

Columbia Harbour House reduced portions some time ago (see the nuggets), but I now see that the tuna sandwich suddenly comes with no fries. You get a bag of chips instead. Because the price didn't decrease, it's fair to actually call this a stealth price increase (you now have to spend more to get the same food).

Holiday cups

WDW has started using holiday wax soda cups for the small (but not large) sodas.

Coming Soon - Content, Content, Content

I'll be refocusing attention on this blog shortly. Sorry for abandoning it (more or less) in recent months.

I've been busy with a book project or two (one comes out in late December, probably after Xmas... more info on that soon).

But that's no excuse. I hereby pledge to update more frequently, and content-rich. On weekends, I may start using BlogPress Lite to update from my iPhone (with pics?) ... does anyone out there have experience with this and words of wisdom to share on that app?

I'll probably do a hefty dose of "new to me" and "declining by degrees" observations if the app works as advertised. We'll see!
