Carthay Circle Theater

Well, I wasn't able to eat at the restaurant, but the building looks amazing. The place is VERY expensive as I saw it with duck and shrimp, etc. All of these sound good, so I would suggest being able to go. But! know that it is almost $30 average to buy it! Take a look at the pictures, but other than that, I have nothing else to report on!



Carsland

Well, as I was able to, I went to Carsland yesterday and it was as incredible as I thought it would be. There shops, the food, the scenery. It was all of it. I loved every bit of it! I walked through Radiator Springs and thought I was exactly in the movie. They have everything there. Every last bit of the world we saw in Cars is there for you to love and enjoy. I really was impressed by it all. Sadly, I was only able to go on Mater's Junkyard Jamboree, only because the lines for the other rides were far too long. I would prepare that if you plan on the Cars Racers, then it will be over a 2 hour wait completely. I may do it one day, but as of now, it may take a while for one to do it.

Now, for Mater's Junkyard Jamboree. The queue was great. The best thing that they have added to the California heat, they have large fans that cool you off when you go through the rows. The Other thing that is great about that line is that you see the different things Mater has been in his shorts on the television.

The other funny thing about Mater's ride is that Larry the Cable Guy does all of the voice things, including his singing on the ride and also the directions of "keeping your hands, arms, feet , and legs inside the ride at all times". It is the best thing that one you would see.






I will report more on what Carsland will be like as time goes on, but the shops are great and soon I will eat the other places, (including the Cozy Cone), but it will be a great time anywhere!

Buena Vista Street

Alright, for those who have been looking all over for the new Buena Vista Street and what it had to offer, I am here to tell you exactly what it is like!

Buena Vista Street pays homage to Hollywood back in the 1920's and so you hear lots of jazz feeling music, and you hear people who shout out the headlines of papers, as it is true to the creation of the newspaper. There is also the homage to Walt Disney in many ways. The main 'company' that owns the street is Elias&Co. which is homage to Walt's father Elias Disney. There is also a shop named Mortimer, who was another stage of Mickey Mouse before he was the mouse we all know. There is also homage to Oswald the Rabbit who was another of Walt's first creations.

The area has a very big feel about the era of the Hispanic homage in their architecture. There is a large amount of homage to the earlier stuff of Walt Disney to Clarabelle who has her own ice cream parlor on the street hosted by Dreyer.

And finally, the thing that tops it off is that there is a STARBUCKS in CA Adventure now. So those of you who need that coffee, don't need to worry about going to Starbucks on your way to Disneyland, you can get it there! Alright, so there are some pictures for you to gawk at, and I will see if I can send some more pictures your way in the near future!

Carsland Tomorrow

Alright, so if all goes right with my life...and I REALLY hope so, I will be going to CA Adventure tomorrow. I meant to upload pictures I had from the trip to Disneyland I made by myself...(I may be writing about going to Disney by yourself) and I will tell you that I HAVE to see Carsland.

I check my wait times even if I am not there, and Carsland seems to be up the walls on how long. The Racers is 120+ constantly. So, be on the lookout for those while you work on this.

So, if my friend doesn't bail, I will be taking pictures of the new Buena Vista Street and Carsland, so keep on the lookout! I will let you know if I don't go. But trust I will be very upset if I don't go...

La Luna Pixar Short

The short before Brave was an excellent one if you get the chance to get there before the movie starts. It is a great short about a kid who is with his grandfather and his father who are working on the moon. It is a short story about how a kid, who looks up to both of these men can still get his own life and make something of himself without their help. So, with this, I encourage you all to see this short.

I have a feeling it is on YouTube or something, but still, when you see Brave make sure you see it! I think it is one of Pixar's best shorts.

Leave a comment on what you thought of the short!

BRAVE!

Well, I just came from seeing Brave, and it was not a bad movie. I found the plot to be very basic though. The artistry and the use of the Celtic culture was very accurate. Being a Celt myself, I found it interesting to see the portrayal, and I love the spirit of Merida. I also found it interesting with the use of the witch and detail to the wispy of hair as the Celts are very hairy people hehe.

But among this, the Brave storyline is much like what you would expect. I had expected there to be a time reversal or a whole fate being changed, but the plot was almost similar to that of Brother Bear. But, it was still very well done, and I like what they did with the movie. So, I give it a 4/5 stars, and still one that every Disney/Pixar fan should go see. If you have the time, go see it and make a decision for yourself!

If you have any other comments about the movie or something you thought about the movie, go ahead and leave a comment!

Cars Land Opens this Friday!

Well, I need to see if I can get there. I have nothing standing my way...I think. But! With that being said, I am super psyched to see what will happen when this all goes down. It will be a great land, and from someone I talked to, if you are still at Disneyland and you want a way to see Cars Land, the Mickey's Fun Wheel is the best way to see it. I also am excited to see Buena Vista Street completed, and then there is the opening of Matterhorn once again on Friday as well. So make sure to go out and see it all! I saw there are some videos of the E-ticket attraction of the Radiator Springs Racers. I'll post it up here!


VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Brave

Well, with the premiere of the movie coming out soon. I have been seeing lots of it on T.V. lately, on billboards, and on previews on Itunes. So, with that, I have been very excited to see it. At first I thought it was going to be a dumb movie, but as I learn more, I'm excited. Cars 2 was a little of a let down for Pixar, so hopefully they would do better here. There has even been spotting for Merida at Disneyland in front of 'it's a small world' quite fitting if you think about it. So, they are planning on hyping this new celtic princess up. If you want to learn more of BRAVE, go ahead and look her up. I plan on reviewing it when it comes out in theaters. So be on the lookout for that, and hope you guys have a very Disney filled day! I'll see if I can get some more Disney history out there for you guys.

Disneyland Resort: Behind the Scenes

I have been enhanced with wanting to know more about Disneyland, and this one movie that costs only $9.99 on iTunes, you can buy the movie and i highly recommend to see it. It has interesting information such as the Indiana Jones attraction, and how Soarin' Over California works and how it was thought of how for people to view it. It is a great movie and I recommend it!
