We took the week off! No trips this week so we can reset ourselves and spend some time at home with the families. Next week though, well that's a different matter entirely!
Last Week on Days In The Park:
For "Magical Mystery Monday" we challenged you to guess just where we were in The Parks (we wound up being in Engine-Ears Toys in Disney California Adventure)
Tuesday we took you along with us as we battled the evil Emperor Zurg in Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
For our "Almost" Wordless Wednesday, we took some random photos around The Park, including Critter Country, The Disney Animation Building, and Fantasmic!
We gave you a look at one of our all-time favorites monsters Sully in Thursday's KILT
And finally, on Friday, we hopped about the Magical Blogorail Blue and gave you some ways we choose to bring The Park Magic home with us
At The Parks:
There were a couple of news items from inside The Parks that were of particular interest to us. One we know we'll be able to do, and one we know there's just now way in heck we'll be able to.
First, what we can't do! Like they did with "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End", The Park will be hosting the world premiere of the movie inside Disneyland Park. This one is pretty special as it will be the world's first ever premiere, outdoors, in 3D. Sounds pretty sweet! The price unfortunately took it well outside of our "doable" range. Individual tickets were priced at $1,000, and were available at piratespremiere.com. We say "were" because they're already sold out, but it was for a good cause as well. The entire amount earned from the event is going to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Still wanting to see the stars? All is not completely lost! The Park will be opening early that day (rise and shine bright and early at 7:00am) and closing early as well (5:00pm). If you have a hankering to see your favorite stars from the film, there is a chance you will get to do so. The red carpet (black in this event) will be on Main Street, USA, and there is a chance to see them there. However, bear in mind the place will crowded; if it's something you want to try and do, better get there early and plan on camping for a long time. Seating and viewing space will undoubtedly be very limited. The Parks Blog posted another great Pirates video this week we thought we'd share with you, too.
Second, what we can do! Work continues on The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure, of course. It seems like we're reporting on some new little item each and every week, which we suppose makes sense; we're less than two months away from its opening! In this week's article, the Disney Parks Blog gave us a look the design for some of the Ariel audio-animatronics which will be inside the attraction. We love sharing this kind of stuff, so we're passing it on to you guys for your own enjoyment.
Here At Days In The Park:
We just released Episode 2 of our Days In The ParkCast last week, and we've picked up some new listeners since then. You guys are awesome! If you haven't had a chance to listen to us yet, we'd love to have you guys do so and let us know you think. You can listen to it on our website (we include all of our episodes at the top of the site), through whatever RSS reader you choose, or we're available in the iTunes store. If you listen to us in iTunes, we'd really appreciate it if you would take the time to leave us a rating and even a review if you see fit. Anything that will help more people find us and listen is okay by us! Heck, even if you don't listen to us in iTunes you can still check out our iTunes page and leave us a rating or a review. Every little bit helps. You can find the means to subscribe to us at the top of our website, in the right sidebar.
We have a few things we're working on getting out this week we're looking forward to. We really enjoyed making a Gowalla trip and posting about that a few weeks ago (you can find said trip at the top of our site under "Gowalla Trips") and we've made another one we'll be talking about this week, featuring food. And who doesn't like good food?! So you can look forward to that. We'll also be revisiting our "Saturday Slow Down" segment this week and talk about an evening we recently spent at the Hungry Bear Restaurant. One of our favorite places in The Park to slow down.
Our "Magical Mystery Mondays" segment continues to do well; we still have a lot of people guessing and participating so we're going to keep that up! We enjoy getting our readers involved in any way that we can. We'll also continue to throw some pictures out for our "Almost" Wordless Wednesday and KILT posts just like we always do.
And as always, we'll be sure to fill in any gaps we have with some of our thoughts, mischief, favorite things, videos and pictures, or anything else we can think of to share some of our favorite Days In The Parks with you.
Hope you'll keep dropping by to spend a virtual Day In The Park with us. We enjoy having you around!
