Nothing else to cross the only entrance of the park, Main Street U.S.A. lays the way towards the diversion. Suddenly, one is in an American city of century principles. Lack does not detail, the bank, the city council, police that instead of persecuting thieves make photos to the viandantes, heladerÃas, coffees, stores and until barber's shop. Bands, horns, much activity and scent to popcorn just done. << What more says Main Street than the smell of Freshly made Popcorn??? Heck, they have Popcorn stands on EACH side of the castle... <a href="http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/Paris/English/Mickeys.html" target="_blank">http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/P aris/English/Mickeys.html</a> >>There are popcorn vendors on both sides of the hub in front of the castle. One at the entrance to Frontierland, the other in front of Discoveryland. The little covered areas for the carts have flowery iron work on the top and there are blatant Mickey heads hidden in the decoration.<< Let's go to Tokyo.... <a href="http://www.tdrfan.com/tdl/general/" target="_blank">http://www.tdrfan.com/tdl/gene ral/</a> >>This is one Japanese tradition I occasionally break, as strolling around Disneyland while eating a box of popcorn is a small pleasure I have enjoyed all my life.<< >>You'll even find themed food items like honey flavored popcorn.<< <a href="http://www.themeparkreview.com/japan2004/tds1.htm" target="_blank">http://www.themeparkreview.com /japan2004/tds1.htm</a> Check out the 11th photo, 6 different flavored popcorns are available....

That goes with 7 million hamburgers, 5 million hot dogs, 5 million pounds of French fries and 265,000 pounds of popcorn.<< Popcorn is THE snack that is available in the classic ODV carts at all the Dinsey parks, and will be found in Hong Kong when it opens later this year... Folks, this is a special year, and deserves a special snack, a classic, one loved by Walt, and by folks around the world... Nothing say Disney more than a Popcorn Cart on Main Street, it is a important symbol that is seen at all the parks, and guests stand in line for the wonderful treat.... Folks, please recognize let alone the best snack in the park, but also the one with the most history.. we have all seen Walt snacking on Popcorn while standing at the Hub on the old Wonderful World of Disney shows... why, because Popcorn is part of Disneyland, other snacks have come and gone, but Popcorn remains, and still is a major draw for guests... Popcorn is Happy Food, and asks for your vote, no matter where you live, what language you speak... It is THE Snack.... Thank You!

Maybe he just didn't have a choice. I used to think that potato chips where the only way to go until I tried Doritos.
