D23. Disneyland, WDW - 2011

[churros]

Was loving the little mermaid ride and suddenly got confused as I couldn't remember the underwater scene with the dinosaurs!

So jealous and almost cried at the Tiki room - I demand a video every day!

Don't forget the planking challenge.

It's 5.30 and I am back in my room, I could carry the stuff I got , I will change my shoes and go back, saw the legends ceremony and Parks and Resorts presentation in the Arena, also did the the Parks and resorts expo.
Will takle latter tonight

Awesome stuff Gerard. Have you been to the Disney Dream Store yet? I finally signed up for your youtube video - the love the Little Mermaid stuff.

Are they taking your phones and cameras off you again at the Arena this year?

The Legends Ceremony looked great - I'd have loved to have seen Kermit and Ralph singing Rainbow Connection to honour Jim Henson.

The Disney Parks Blog have posted all the D23 announcements and videos - I love the look of the new Shanghai castle. And the new Fantasy Faire at Disneyland came as a complete surprise (no one had managed to leak this!)

Here are the links everyone:

They did, but that was the extent of the new stuff.
Now waiting for your call, I only got home from Disneyland about 35mins ago

We are chatting to Gerard from the club meeting - hi Gerard!

[mushu mama]

great video's Gerard... looks like its amazing. But have to say, you swing by the merchandise a little too fast to see what is on the shelves...

[Gerard]

Thanks for all the wake up SMS's but I have not gone to sleep. Mmm ihop or Dennys ? I wonder if the cheesecake factory is 24 hours too

[churros]

Your welcome!

How can you eat breakfast this early?

[Gerard]

Why do yanks put bacon on everything?
Anyway...I got to the expo about 10 mins ago, there is already a line right up until the end of the expo all, Im on the corner. There is a 2 people joining the line every second, it's 6.15am

[Gerard]

It's 2.50pm, I am back in my room about to find something to eat.
It feels like I have been at this expo for a week. The expo is packed
The Studios presentation was worth the wait, I was on the floor 8 rows from the front. I won't go into the line up, I'm sure it has been posted many times on many boards.
I did not end up sleeping last night so I plan to go to the auction and then sleep.
Ttfn

What's your problem with bacon?

Hey Gerard - I showed my Mother in Law your photo whilst you were talking - she said you were hot!!!!!

Don't worry about our sms not waking you up - we have a roster to keep doing it over the next few weeks so we should get to you eventually!
