Eight for Eight....part deux...

OK...for some reason this damn thing is SAYING my pics are being added, but when I go back to my Create screen, nothing is there...so...part two...

This the corner of the Main Street Emporium...the biggest...and busiest gift shop at Magic Kingdom! It's the last thing guests see on their way out, with the last chance to get all of their souvenirs! (and it also comes with a part of my finger, hence the strange blockage at the bottom of the screen!)

A view up Main Street...modeled to look like Walt's home town in....Indiana (?)...(sad, I should know that...)

A store-front window display at the Emporium....Jess-Laney's favorite movie, "The Little Mermaid"...I've always been fascinated by these windows since I was a kid...they go to such detail to make them. They used to be based on our current hit animated movie....sadly, we haven't had one of those (non-computer) in awhile... :-(

This is the Main Street Train Station - guests walk under this to the sides to enter the park. They recently added an atrium to the back of this....pretty cool. Didn't realize when I took the photo, but that's my co-worker Marianne off to the right...

This is a statue of Walt and Minnie....it sits right in the middle of the hub of Town Square...just before you start the walk up Main Street to the castle!

So....there's this month's photo tour...pretty cool to see it at night, with no guests in the park!

Eight for Eight...

So...as you can see, the blog has been re-opened, but under a new premise....

My friend, Jess-Laney, who has been mentioned in earlier blogs, has gotten a group of us to begin taking a number of pics on the day of the month that also coincides with the month number (make sense...Bueller?!...eight pics on 08-08, nine on 09-09, etc.)...

Here is this month's installment....I call it....

MK AT NIGHT....

This is Cinderella's Castle...it is currently decorated for our "50 Years of Magic" Celebration, which will end this October (hopefully, the nice decor will not!) Inside there is a really crappy green room that has been there for years - it's under construction right now for a new guest experience, being touted as "Night of Dreams", or something along those lines....basically, it's being renovated into a nice little hotel suite, and some lucky guest (not sure if it's by $$$ or random selection) will get to spend the night IN Cinderella's Castle! It kicks off in January of 2007....

This statue of Walt and Mickey stands in the Castle hub in front of....the Castle! They have since re-done the height scale, but it used to be, that when you would look at this statue from Walt's right side, Mickey's nose was placed just right so that it looked like Walt's penis....yes, that's right...his penis....

This is City Hall, located on the left side of Town Square when you first enter the park. This is where our Guest Relations area lives - and there's also a restroom on the right...("there's a bathroom on the right..." ;-)
