On the weekend we had an opportunity to visit Disneyland and enjoy the New Orleans Bayou Blast which was filled with lively excitement, jazzy music, street performers and the sensational food of New Orleans.

I was front and (almost) center when Tiana’s Mardi Gras Procession,  featuring Princess Tiana, Louis and Naveen, kicked off. I was able to snap some photos and capture full audio of this vibrant, musical performance in the streets of New Orleans Square and the Rivers of America.

It’s a fun show, so take a couple minutes to give it a listen and enjoy our photos of this lively event, which only occurs during the Mardi Gras celebration at Disneyland! 😀

Today, Minnie’s Fly Girls Charter Airline debuted at Disney California Adventure.  We were there for the 12:00PM show and snapped some shots.  The show features the first ever Minnie Mouse with eyes that blink and a mouth that moves as she talks.  Much like what we have seen for Mickey.  The show very much reminds me of the Pan Am show on ABC.  Vey cool and very enjoyable.

As a bonus we recorded the show for your enjoyment. Take a look at the pics below and enjoy Minnie and the Fly Girls!

Wednesday Photo Challenge Answer: Tomorrowland Terrace/Jedi Training Academy

By

Every Wednesday we test your DLR knowledge with a photograph taken somewhere in the Disneyland Resort.  A good number of people guessed, but only a handful nailed it.

That gorgeous planter is one of several landmarks belonging to Tomorrowland Terrace  in Tomorrowland and have been there since 2006 when the Terrace was redesigned for the third time since 1967.

It currently hosts the “Jedi Training Academy”, where kids between the ages of 4 and 12 are randomly chosen to participate in the show to become Jedi padawan and face off against Darth Maul and Darth Vader.

That’s something I would have LOVED to do when I was a kid! How awesome is it to be a kid in Disneyland these days?

Anyway, those of you who answered Tomorowland Terrace or Jedi Training Academy were correct!

To those of you who answered “Tomorrowland”, close, but no cookie. Remember that the question was “where, precisely, can one find the planter.” 😉

Here is the list of this week’s winners:

And to those who gave it a shot, thank you so much for participating! It’s great to know our Podcast listeners and Blog Readers are involved, lol, you’re usually so quiet! 😉

We’ll have a new one for you next week, so when you’re in the Disneyland Resort (Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney and all of the Disney hotels), keep your eyes peeled and take in everything.  This time you guys got off easy. Next time may not be such a cakewalk.

Tron Legacy R3C0NF1GUR3D Record Review

Remixes are disingenuous to me. To me, a remix is a lie. Another artist doing their interpretations of someone else’s music is like taking a copy of the Mona Lisa, changing her face and the color of her clothes and then selling it.

Music is a form of expression, which to my mind means it has to come from the artist one-hundred percent and shouldn’t be messed with once it’s done. I usually don’t bother with remixes on principle. [Read more…]
