April 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. |

...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. |
