			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.  |

|    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.  |

			Signs for the movie are

			The ride has his image at the entrance. The island is getting a pirate make-over.  | 
			
			Lo, and behold! The cap'n
