Parking lot construction update (and other pics)

[WonkaKid]

Here's a small update on the parking lot construction as well as some other pics:





First in the park -- Main Street is now 100% unobstructed!








Did OK on Buzz today. Exceeded 2,099,000 twice, which means that my scores was (frustratingly) reset.


Buzz Lightyear broke down and they had to walk us off the ride :-(.


Special Easter treats!

Where is that parking lot at? I'm having a hard time picturing it.

It's adjacent the Mickey and Friends parking structure. Until recently it was the Pinocchio lot.

Also, this just arrived in my inbox (even though it was sent this morning around 10:00 a.m.):

How were the crowds? I saw on a Disney blogger's inst story that the parking structures were full...but didn't hear anything about the park being at max capacity.

Definitely wasn't anything close to capacity. On a 1-10 scale, I'd give it about a 7. Not horrible but perhaps a little heavier than in recent weeks.

Folks: I'll be in China (where I'll hit Shanghai DL, thereby completing my checklist of every park in the world) for a few weeks so I won't be posting any pics or mailing any maps. Try to get along without me for a while. Talk among yourselves ;-).

Talk among yourselves ;-).

Good golly, I just had a flashback to high school. My English teacher loved saying that phrase (although he always said amongst)

Have fun on your trip!

Right? I wrote "amongst" originally but it was flagged as a typo.

Have fun on your trip!

Thank you!

Have a magical trip, Rob! Stay healthy! And bring back lots of photos (and maybe a photo of the SDL maps?!)! We'll be looking forward to your trip report.

Will do and thank you! I plan to bring back several maps for friends so I should be able to post great pics at least when I return towards the end of the month.

Thank you! Looking forward to it (but not the seventeen-hour flight).

thank you for the Disney Nazca photo......who would have thought that they are always theme construction oriented.

Have an amazing trip! I love looking at all the photos you post. Can't wait to see some from Shanghai!

And can I just say that every time you post your Buzz score I am AMAZED. Seriously. I love that ride and I've only made it to Ranger 1st Class a few times! There must be some other extra trick shots I don't know about? I know about hitting both Zurgs in the chest area...any other tips you could offer? LOL

I love your weekly reports and even come on to look for them on Mondays now. Thank you for thinking of us folks who can't be there as often. And have a FABULOUS TRIP. Hopefully we'll get to see some pictures and read your thoughts on that park.

Generally, only shoot diamonds and triangles. Squares only when you have to. And shoot targets multiple times. Hitting a triangle ten times is 100,000 -- considerably more if it's lit. Let me know if this helps!

Here's a funny thing: I thought my flight to Shanghai was leaving tomorrow night. While speaking with a friend this morning, I had a shocking realization: my flight is actually tonight! I had to run around and get some last minute things done. But I'm in good shape now and I leave for the airport in less than an hour. I'll report upon my return -- many sites are blocked in China. I suspect this one may be too.

All the best!

Rob

Have a wonderful and safe trip. I hope you do a trip report with lots of pics!

Safe travels. Looking forward to hearing about your trip
