  • San Diego’s Wild Animal Park

    On our last visit to Southern California in April 2008, Walter and I took a trip to the Wild Animal Park in San Diego – part of the San Diego Zoo.  I figured that since Walter is such a good sport about being dragged thru any number of Disney theme parks on either coast, the…

  • If I’d known you were coming I’d have built an ark!

    Sweet Mary mother of God will IT EVER STOP RAINING HERE????? Whatever idiot wrote the song “It never rains in Southern California” should be taken out back and summarily executed for perpetrating a fraud.  We’ve been here five days and it’s rained FOUR OF THEM.  I’m glad for the folks in California – they REALLY…

  • Our first day at Disneyland – cue the firing squad

    The idea of an early flight is always better in theory than in execution.  I’m not a morning person – in fact, ‘turning in early’ for me usually means I’m in bed by 2am.  So, having to leave the house at 5:30am for a 7am flight to LAX always leaves me repeating the same line…

  • I’m Going to Disneyland!

    Sarah has blogged about Virtual Magic Kingdom and her Disney Cruise Line experience.  Now she tells us about her upcoming Disneyland vacation.  I think we can all relate to her excitement…. I can hear it now! The parades, fireworks and the people screaming as they go down the 50 foot hill in Splash Mountain. Yup! I’m…

  • Goodbye Virtual Magic Kingdom…Love, Sarah

    About a month or so ago on the podcast I mentioned that Disney was closing their online game – Virtual Magic Kingdom.  VMK (because everything has to have an acronym) became very popular with many DISers, especially some of our younger posters. In this virtual world players could explore a computer-stylized version of the Magic…
