14 November 2007

I entered the park, and realized quite quickly that I had forgotten to bring a pen with me, which meant that I could not take notes. This set me off on a quest right away to find a pen. I searched high and low throughout some of the stores to see if I could buy one, only to find that the only things they had were these nasty huge pens that cost entirely too much for the utility that I wanted. I finally asked one of the stock people there if they had any simple pens for sale, nothing fancy. A Bic pen would have done as far as I was concerned. She was very helpful and just handed over a gel pen that she had in her basket, something that I would never have expected her to do. This is a prime example of just how helpful the cast at these parks can be. Mary was her name, and when I go back in a month or so, I plan on seeing if I can find her again and thanking her again for the pen. I went back later that night when I was leaving the park, managed to actually find her (stocking the EXACT same shelf, for gods sake! They had sold the shelf out and had to restock within just three or four hours!) and give her pen back to her. She was absolutely shocked that someone would borrow the pen and bring it back to her hours later. This just tickled me pink to see her reaction, though, and made me feel that much better about myself.

When walking through Liberty Square I noticed that, while all of the US Flags at the parks were at half mast in reverence towards the passing of President Gerald Ford, this one was not. I was not sure if this was because they had simply missed it, or if it was to keep in theme with the era. I asked some of the cast, but they did not know why it was not at half-mast either. This actually does go along with the theme that is represented in the brass placard at the entrance to Liberty Square.

While walking along a back pathway that takes you from Toontown to Tomorrowland, there was a strong odor of propane coming from the Indy Speedway. This path eventually spits you out behind the arcade in Tomorrowland.

Walking across the park from Tomorrowland to Adventureland, I noticed that the decorations on the castle for Cinderellabration were no longer there. Really, this is a good thing. The fancy stuff they added to the castle really detracted from it, not enhanced it.
