It's duckling season at the park

[WonkaKid]

This is the time of year when we begin to see ducklings. As below, plus a few bonus pics.









The new AP Steamboat Willie popcorn bucket.


...and its accompanying treat .


Lastly, my scores on Buzz from Wednesday.

Aww so cute! I will be sure to look for the ducks when I am there. Looks like a fabulous sunny day in DL

Such cuteness ! ! ! Thank you for posting the ducklings at Disneyland pic.
Great score ! My Granddaughter's and I will be trying out your scoring strategy in May

They are so cute! I hope we get to see them when we are there in a couple weeks. Have you shared your Buzz strategy before? I'd love some tips.

Nothing cuter than a bunch of baby ducks.

Yes, may times. People often seem to have trouble finding them so here they are again. Hope they help.

· Only ever shoot diamonds (5,000 points) and triangles (10,000 points – 50,000 when lit). Shoot squares only when lit (5000 points). As I explained to two girls in line behind me recently, shooting one triangle is the scoring equivalent to shooting 100 circles. Don’t waste time on circles.

· Shoot targets multiple times, not just once. I often leave the first room with 250,000 – 300,000 points.

· If you have trouble hitting targets, take a moment to shoot at a blank wall to determine if your gun is shooting high, low or to one side. Often times that’s the key. Not all guns are created equal ;-).

· Make note of where the triangle targets are and go for them as often as possible. For example, in the second to last room (where the second Zurg is), there’s one behind you as you near the exit. You have to shoot the circle beneath it to make it pop up. That alone -- hitting it ten times -- can earn players at least 100,000 points.

· This won’t be an issue for most players, but be aware that if you exceed approximately 2,096,000, your score will reset and you’ll lose everything. This happens to me regularly and it’s very frustrating. The challenge is that once you exceed 1M points, the cruiser will only display 999999. You’ll need to keep track (or try to) in your head. This has been an issue for the past 20 months or so. I’ve raised it with Disney many times but I think it unlikely that they’ll ever fix it. Indeed, I was told by Disney recently that the ride was never meant to allow players to exceed that score. The way it performs now is the way it was always intended to.

· On a related note, scores above 1M will only display at the photo kiosks at the ride exit. Lately there’ve been problems with scores flowing through with pictures. I’ve also raised this issue with Disney and hopefully it will be corrected.

We saw a mama duck and her ducklings in Tomorrowland on Sunday! They were roaming around one of the planter beds and eating the lettuce. It was really adorable.
