Why go to a recreation of the Redwood Forest when the real one is so close by? Or the Golden Gate Bridge. Or Hollywood, for goodness' sake. I live fifteen minutes from Hollywood. Ten if traffic is good. I live an hour from Disneyland. Okay, rant done. When you do come west for Disney and other things, let me know! I might join you. Even to the Adventure Park, who knows! .-= Geoff´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThatWouldBeMedotNet/~3/O59NGDahfoc/" rel="nofollow">Wage War on Christmas – A Warped Holiday Story</a> =-.

If so, I might wait another couple of years till most of the California Adventure renovations are done - it sounds like it's going to be quite cool - they are putting over 1 billion dollars into that park over the past couple and next couple years - I think scheduled to be done in 2011 or 2012....

Yes, the stagecraft of the Disney people is amazing. I've been often enough, now, that most of the glow has faded for me, sadly. Of course, it's been several years. Who knows, maybe I should venture forth again. Like a lot in life, though, it will never be like the first time. .-= Geoff´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThatWouldBeMedotNet/~3/O59NGDahfoc/" rel="nofollow">Wage War on Christmas – A Warped Holiday Story</a> =-.

I'm a big fan of Disneyland and Walt Disney World from two angles, one is just as somebody who loves cool experiences, the other is as a theatrical designer. When I walk through one of the Disney parks I'm always amazed by the details that add together to tell stories so completely. This is certainly true of major attractions like the Haunted Mansion, but it's equally true of the buildings on Main Street USA -- created with forced perspective to make the street look bigger and longer than it is, and make the castle look bigger than it is as you walk into the park, but also to make the street look shorter than it is as you walk out exhausted at the end of the day. It really is amazing Thanks for sharing such a great story, Andy http://binauraljourneys.com .-= Andy Dolph´s last blog ..<a href="http://andydolph.com/2009/12/25/confidence-hypnosis-a-gift-from-wendi/" rel="nofollow">Confidence Hypnosis – A gift from Wendi!</a> =-.

(Yes, Disneyworld is the one in Florida.) It is absolutely not too long. It did have much in common with my story, also, except that you can't say you had your way paid for by a male hustler! :-) (What a wonderful thing to be able to say. I wonder what has happened to him. Haven't seen him since I moved out to an actual apartment with my own bathroom and kitchen, and no hypodermic needles.) .-= Geoff´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThatWouldBeMedotNet/~3/dhSho_R6u8g/" rel="nofollow">A Hustler, a Hovel and the Happiest Place on Earth</a> =-.
