2007
For Spring Break we took a trip to Mickey's, where
their current mottos are "Where all your dreams
come true" and "the year of a million dreams."
In one of the storefronts is a "diary" from 1955,
the year the park opened.

Meeting Eeyore;
riding the
Matterhorn (1st
time in years!)
Mater and
Lightning
cruise thru
the park.
  Some of the
rides and
attractions...
...we enjoyed.
 
       While the Mark Twain is getting some restoration, the Columbia takes on passengers. The canoes were running for the first time in a long time.
   The latest sea-worthy attraction, coming soon, is the Finding Nemo ride.  We snuck a peek thru the blue screening that was supposed to keep it under wraps.
 
  A rainbow swan
swims with the
real swans.
A beautiful
waterfall, and
in the middle,
a duck surveys
his territory.

Another place
where the kids
can be
entertained.
   
  Signs for the movie are everywhere.
Even stores beckon with advertising.
The ride has his image at the
entrance. The island is getting
a pirate make-over.
  Lo, and behold! The cap'n himself
can be found in the Square,
apparently looking for treasure.
     
 

He also spends some time meetin'
and greetin' the park guests.

A scallawag
up to no good.

  Jack joins the pirate band for a musical interlude.  
   
  The musicians, up close and personal.   Joyce had her silhouette cut in a shop on Main St,
then we got Jack to sign his autograph. He
thought it was a fair likeness of himself.
 
    Joyce thought this was a cute and
personable pirate.
  Ana & Jack A happy
trio.
Decorations in the pirate area.
   
    Fireworks over Sleeping Beauty's castle, as the statue of Walt & Mickey look on.   Goofy signs autographs for visitors in his Easter suit.
Tink sprinkles pixie dust on you as you exit the park.
