Let's have less of these "teen" tweets... I read enough of those on my Facebook news feed. Not very creative, compared to the other great tweeple.

A button to show oneself as responding with a "meh" would defeat the purpose- people who actually would respond with a "meh" would not have enough motivation either way to press a button.

I LOVE that attraction. I got to experience it four times on our trip last August. I've been a Haunted Mansion fan since I was a toddler, and I first heard about it. Keep the Haunted Mansion material coming!

You should mention that the names on the tombstones aren't just any Disney employees, but the Imagineers (designers) that created the attraction.

Actually, Autopia is not related to the movie Cars at all. The cars look pretty different, I think. Plus, the ride opened years before Cars. The current version opened in 2000, a combination of the former Fantasyland and Tomorrowland Autopias. There have also been the Jr. Autopia, the Midget Autopia, and other incarnations. The current Autopia is very different from the original.

And I've never been to Disneyland. So correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok, the Haunted Mansion is definitely the most logical next step. LOVE that ride! I went on it four times the other week in WDW.

The Mr. Lincoln A-A figure was in the Illinois Pavilion, there was no Disney Pavilion. WED Enterprises (now WD Imagineering) made Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln for Illinois, Carousel of Progress for GE, "it's a small world" for Pepsi for UNICEF, and The Magic Skyway for Ford (not related to the Skyway at the parks.)

And you forgot to mention the story of WDW's Pirates! Walt Disney World was supposed to get the Western River Expediton, a western-type boat ride, instead of Pirates of the Caribbean. WED thought Florida was too close to the Caribbean, so it wouldn't be interesting. But they got so many complaints that there was no Pirates ride, they hastily put one in in Adventureland. Supposedly it pales in comparison to Disneyland's.

@Engineer. Yep. Your reservation for a meal includes park admission, and it's the only place in Disneyland that serves alcoholic drinks. It was supposed to be where Walt Disney's elite dining would take place, and his new apartment (where the Disney Dream Suite is now) would connect to it. Animatronic vultures still sit silent in the Trophy Room where Walt would put on a show. Props from movies like Mary Poppins and The Happiest Millionaire line the walls. Plus, as a member you get to ride in the Lilly Belle luxury VIP caboose on the Disneyland Railroad. It must be pretty magnificent to dine in Walt Disney's last dream.

Ooh, and that reminds me, Carousel of Progress would be a good topic. Saw that the other week. Or "it's a small world." DEFINITELY The Haunted Mansion.

Oh, that looks great. I'll be very interested in buying that. The Castle doesn't look like any one in a Disney park, more like the one in Beauty and the Beast. But the Goofy and Country Bears characters look great. I can't figure out what the last picture is of, though.

Ooh, the person who wrote that book lives a few blocks from me. I'm friends with her son. One time she gave us a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie just because she knew my mom loves them.

I'll be going to Spain with a school program during Holy Week. My sister is terrified of those processionals. We'll be seeing one at night, with candles and all that jazz.
