Yeah I hope to do that one some day.

It was a minor diversion

Yes..."Quiet out of the way spot about to be ruined - WDI 1991"

Boy you got that right. What a mess we are in for-- all those additional people at the boardwalk... I won't be able to just slide in to my reserved vip outdoor seat at the big river after epcot closing anymore. I'm going to yell at everyone to get off my lawn.....

But would be a costly voice.

Gotta spend money to make money in that business

International gateway has a look? pavement, trees and ticket booths....

Yes it fits the theme. The gondola building will look similar to the gateway.

For those of you in the Austin, Texas area...

Mondo Announces New Disney-Themed Gallery Show ‘Never Grow Up’

Let me know how it is, I would love to check out this art.

Thanks for posting this. We will definitely have to go. We love the Mondo glasses that they make for Alamo Drafthouse.

Oh yes you can. Just ask Disney.

Sigh. For $118... And that orange bird dress will clash terribly with red hair... I'm still tempted.

Maybe the tiki one in green will look better I am definitely going to take a look for sure. I love the cut. Let me know if you get to check them out on your next trip.

Maybe someday we will see it again at home, WDW.

I'm sorry, but I can't let this post go on without saying that the MSEP "home" is Disneyland. It started there in 1972, and left in 1996. It then performed at Disney's California Adventure (change to Disney's Electrical Parade) from 2001-2010. It has by far performed more years at Disneyland than at Walt Disney World. It has only performed at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World from 1999-2001 and 2010-1016. Yes, WDW had a close "copy" of the parade from 1977-1991, but the original parade was still at Disneyland. The Main Street Electrical Parade even has a window at Disneyland.

I wasn't saying that WDW is home to MSEP; I was saying that WDW is home to me. I am well versed in the history of MSEP at both parks, as well as the windows on Main Street at both parks. I saw MSEP as a child at WDW in the 80s. The Skyway and MSEP are some of the only pictures that I have that have survived from my trips as a child. It is very nostalgic for me and reminds me of some of my favorite childhood movies and my grandfather. We don't get out to Disneyland as often as we do WDW, so I don't think I will get to see it there and probably not ever again to be honest.

EDIT: Another MSEP tidbit, can you name a band from the 80s/90s that did a rendition of the MSEP song, and can you name the MSEP song?

I hate April fools day.

I don't understand why companies decide to take part in April Fool's day. I would think it just creates a nightmare for their customer service reps who have to answer a bunch of questions from people who don't read the fine print at the bottom saying it's an AF Day joke. I just got an email from Ikea saying they're adding a bar, massage center, etc to their stores... you know there are going to be people who think this is real.

I'm thinking it is not actually from Ikea......

I will apologize for misunderstanding your post. It's a very delicate subject for me, because some of my earliest childhood memories was seeing the parade on Main Street at Disneyland before it left the first time.

To answer your questions: I was a very young kid at the time, and I really only like originals. So, the name of the song is "Baroque Hoedown" (I can play it on the saxophone). The other question I had to look up, because I honestly did not know. The only rendition of it to come out in the 80's or 90's was from the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. They Might Be Giants came out with a cover in 2004 though. I'll throw out one more question for you...Can you name the composer of "Baroque Hoedown?"

...no kidding...I can't see why sophomoric humor one day a year makes adults feel better about themselves not having a sense of humor the other 364

It looked like it was to me - same exact style as all of their other emails but who knows.

Yeah I guess as long as they had the retraction along with the add it could be. I missed that part of your post. Pre coffee reading.
