For those at The Park today.. Please try to take a moment to find Robert Sherman's Window on Main Street (USA) and pay a small "Thanks" to one of the most wonderful, influential and important Disney Legends I've ever had the good fortune to meet. Robert passed away yesterday :-(. He was 86. The Sherman Brothers Window can be found on a door, at the top of a little stairway, between the Main St   More...
Thank you all. He truly will be missed. He didn't get out much in public the last 15 years, but it was great listening to his stories when we did see him. Oh and his brother Richard is SO funny. He cracks us up every time. Oh, another "little" story.... As most of you may know, "Feed the Birds" was Walts favorite song and he used to ask the Sherman Bros into his office on some Fridays when he was feeling a little down. The boys would come in and Walt would just say "play it boys" and they would of course and it always made Walt smile. SO... A few years back, on what would have been Walt Disney's 100th Bday, the Disney Co set up a piano near the then new Partners Statue in the Hub on Main St. So everyone was having free cake and enjoying the afternoon then Richard Sherman came out and sang "Feed the Birds" to Walt, right there in the Hub. I swear you could hear a pin drop. So as Richard is singing , you could tell he started choking up a bit, but he pressed on. After he was done he looked up at the statue and said, "Happy Birthday Walt..". and I swear, EVERYONE had tears in their eyes. For me, having been through a LOT of touching moments with Disney, this is THE moment I refer to when any asks me , "what is your favorite Disney moment ever?". Wow. I'm starting to tear up again. It was a very powerful moment that I'll never forget. :-) of the only time I've ever seen so many people openly cry at Disneyland ; - imtigger  17.6 #5321 3:57PM

By the way.. In the photo is my Laura and I with Robert at the 2002 summer NFFC Convention. He loved to paint as a personal hobby and around this time his Son talked him into releasing some of his incredible art to the public. This painting, called "Carrousel in the Country", hangs in my office as it has for the last ten years. He said his inspiration for it came from his love for Disney and of course the carrousel horses from Mary Poppins. He described this as him hanging on to the good things in his life (speaking of his career working with his brother Richard, for Walt Disney), while pushing through the thorn bushes that represent the more difficult times. :-) - imtigger  17.6 #5321 3:09PM

We are finally heading home. The Disney24 was a BLAST. I have to say it for those complaining about those "drunk teens", or trash or whatever... I always say, "if you look for a bad time, you will find it". For the majority of my friends and I, it was INSANE, but it was a blast. MW Updates were incredible and if you looked for fun, you found it. For those that haven't seen it, there's EXCELLEN  More...
Yet again, just because you had a blast doesn't mean the person next to you did. I highly doubt anyone was looking to have something other then fun. Their experience is just as valid as your experience. - Lelundrial  339.7 #431 3:29PM
Lelu... I respect your opinion.. I do, the place was uncomfortable, packed beyond words, etc.. And it was absolutely possible to find a bad time in all of that... However... None of us "looked" for trash, drunks, pot smoke or fights. 5 different groups of people and all agreed that you "could" find a bad time EASILY if you barely looked for it. But you could also say , ahhh .. What the hell, I just waited 3 hours to pee.. But had a fun time meeting new people in line". Who cares about the very few "bad kids" (get off my lawn!!) vs the thousands that appeared to have a great time there with a very weird, very packed, totally screwy park scenario. Heck I had a friend who was bummed after seeing how we made the best of it, while he and is girlfriend spent 2 hrs waiting to get a refund at City Hall! To each his/her own and again, sorry if you saw the bad there.. I just wanted to paint a different pic of the night. We agree to disagree. Or don't agree at all. Either way, I'm sure we can at least agree we still love that crazy little park. :-) - imtigger  17.6 #5321 3:56PM

Ok, I'm at home, BUT.. This IS a LIVE feed from HoJo's Mattercam projected on my wall at 120"! Ha! I LOVE rainy days at DL and can't be there today so I brought up the cam on my iPhone and plugged it into the HDMI connector on my projector and BAM!! I at least get an 'almost' full wall of LIVE Disneyland Resort! Ha :-)
By the way, I call this my "White-Trash Theater" Ha. I have a "cheap" ($600 on Woot!) Optima 720p Projector that I have in our back room, projecting on a clean white bed sheet on the wall... and you'd actually be surprised how great it looks! 8):-) - imtigger  17.6 #5321 4:49PM

Necessity is the mother of invention. Nice. - WeMetAtDisneyLand  41.8 #3939 3:47PM
Ha! Viewing party at Tigger's house!! You guys bring the Turkey Legs and Corn Dogs! ;-) BTW... For another size reference, of you can zoom in just below the projector image, you can see the dark outline of our Sony 55" LED 3D TV. Very high tech TV, but it's funny cause for movies we definately prefer the projector. Sheet on the wall and all. It just feels more like a theater "film". Sometimes 1080p and Blu-Ray shows "too" much detail, like makeup and cut-in effects. The 720p projector truly softens movies perfectly. Oh, and it's great for the HoJo Mattercam too of course. ;-) - imtigger  17.6 #5321 3:53PM

I just have to post that truly in my happy place right now.... Work has been really hard, home too, BUT... we just checked in at the Disneyland Hotel, three nights for "free", using my DVC points (we built up too many cause we cant afford to fly right now), and it's my birthday tomorrow on Halloween, and we are going to the Halloween event, and it's a beautiful night and I'm just so happy righ  More...

The Little Mermaid attraction soft-opening JUST CLOSED at 2:15pm! :-( We went on it twice and all looks GREAT. Since they cleared the queue, we think it was a technical issue and they "don't know when" or if it will reopen, but we have a feeling it will be back up soon-ish. If I hear more, I'll post it!
I think it closed cause too many people on here posted pics and made everyone mad...... Lol! - Startoured1313  0.1 #71643 2:23PM

Yahhhoooo!! Went for our 4-8pm time... And the line is SO easy. In fact, just on a whim, Andrew grabbed my printed email, walked over to the FP distribution , she glanced at it and she let him in to the machines and I thought "NO WAY we'll get another FP!". But guess what, we got four more Fastpasses!! I guess like other FP machines, it allows another pass after an hour? (or so?). Either way.  More...
