A Mickey Mouse Thing

A Mickey Mouse occurrence with Blogger stopped me from posting with photos for a few days. I wanted to share the results of my fairly accurate prediction for D23. If you look back, you'll note I told you that the Magic Kingdom would be the focus of additions announced. Why? Because pure and simple, Disney will not give up the crown of Number One World's Most Visited Theme Park to Universal. They just won't- and nor should they. With Epic Universe on the horizon, the suits are running scared into spending big bucks. That's a great thing for fans! Let Imagineering have some fun, and we all win. Walt Disney World will be changing... as always.

Le Spectacle ! La Pluie ! Les Jeux Olympiques !

Yesterday's opening ceremonies on the 2024 Olympics in Paris was a sight to behold! Three hours worth of drama, entertainment, and an unexpected game of where will the Olympic Flame finally come to rest. Oui, mais bien sûr! (Yes, but of course!) Suspended by a giant hot air balloon, the giant cauldron was blaze with more spectacle. Aside from the ridiculous fashion show as part of it all, this opening was one to remember.
