"Disney Parks, where dreams come true" D'uh! I have to say that Pressler does better than that at The Gap. Audrey Hepburn fashions anyone??? Anyways... is it true the RocketJets will once again be placed atop of the peoplemover platform where they belong???

Weirder still was last Sunday was the first time I had ever parked at the Mickey & Friends parking structure and it was just to ride the tram to see the Halloween decorations. Crazy. I'll stick with parking backstage in future. That structure is ghastly. However the scented Mickey Halloween car fragrance thingys were a nice freebie at the toll booth!

Now that must be a nice treat! Send me an email next time you're in town so I can say hello. =)
