. It looks like abstract art but if you get a certain "angle" on it 
you'll see it's something near and dear to all of us:
Hard to determine which specific
Starting our week with this strange one
Is it a character? Mickey?
DD (and DSIL) were sick for 2 weeks; they think they had a mild case of the flu. She's on the mend, still has stuffy head/nose but we're just waiting for the rest of us to get it! The really bad thing for her is she's now working part-time at a PRE-SCHOOL! 
They've had 1 or more kids out with "something" since the 2nd week of school! Pop those extra vitamins, stay away from crowds and get to a doctor if you start feeling bad. Sure hope James is done! WAY easier to travel if you or Emily aren't feeling well! 
Well, I guess I can just accept "queue". This is from the room where you watch the videos and wait to go into the theater.
Park? Is that the ground? It looks like we concrete, but I'm guessing there is more to it.
No ... ... not trying to be "sneaky" this morning...it's still early on a Monday...my "sneaky" side isn't functioning yet. 
Yes, this is concrete and it's on the ground but it's not a character.
MK or Epcot?
Dad's been sending me picture updates.
and she was older. Get some meds in that young man so that clears up! 
Mom and Dad are currently in Disney. They arrived yesterday, but only spent a half day in the parks before driving to the Citrus Bowl to see the USvBrazil game in the US Womens Soccer Victory Tour! Mom's comment to me was "they should have been handing out Oscars instead of yellow cards to Brazil"
Joe and I have 73 days until Disneyland! We booked a room at the brand new HIE in Anaheim, a little under a mile from the park. Decided just to rent a car because transfers to/from LAX were going to be just as much, and we land at 11pm so we'll probably be exhausted and won't feel up to dealing with anything other than a rental. Probably just going to buy tickets there the next morning. My birthday will be spent in Disneyland park, with the dinner package at Blue Bayou for Fantasmic!!
We keep thinking warm thoughts, since our connection is in Boston in January....the good thing is they cope much better with snow than here in NC!
...it's in the box ready to be wrapped and she will be SO excited! 
) Brazil IS good for those "Oscar performances" ...and they teach them "young". We saw some of that from one of the teams from Brazil last year at the Disney soccer tournament. 
Ed was in Epcot yesterday too. What a nice treat they've given themselves! And YOU...NICE birthday gift for you! Hopefully the "weather Gods" will cooperate and you won't be stranded in Boston!
Is it supposed to be something?
this is the castle and it's at the MK. Not on Main Street though.

Then I take the shuttle from the hotel when returning to the airport.
Yes
If you are just going to Disneyland while you are in SoCal, you will end up leaving the car parked at the hotel all week. Easier to walk the 15 min to the park than to deal with/pay for parking and a shuttle from the parking lot. I take a taxi from the airport to the hotel but then I fly into John Wayne. Never LAX
What a great place for your birthday!! The Blue Bayou is such a great restaurant! And they don't have anything like it at DW. Make sure you get a Monte Cristo either there or at Cafe Orleans. They are delicious and they don't have them in DW.
That's it! In all our visits, I'd never taken a photo of this ; I put it on the "list" in 2013 and FINALLY remembered! This was my solo trip and, for once, I didn't have to listen to..."MOM...COME ONNNNN....!
