^ Ooooooooo. And I have no idea how to cancel this "Quote" box. Help!

^ ... As long as the paint is waterproof, and doesn't fade (much) under the California sun. Any design is possible.

^ I always thought that maybe they should hire a 'street artist' or some painting company, to create a 3-D painting, underneath that coaster. It could be quite something. And be able to be refreshed when needed.

What ~ an ~ awesome thing to experience! And I'm curious - how much for a wand? Thanks for a great tour through it all!

....And, jumping to the end of the month, we have.... January 27 – National Chocolate Cake Day. Yum.

^ So it'll be a choice between "Sphere View" or "Water View" rooms at that hotel.

^ Great! Hope they're still doing it, when we (eventually) get there.

https://tdrexplorer.com/tokyo-disneyland-space-mountain-construction-update-january-2026/ TDRexplorer has posted a new photo (among others) of the ongoing work, on the new Space Mountain. Thanks AJ! Close up it looks amazing. Set to open in 2027. Happy New Year! Side view of it, I believe. What it's supposed to look like, in 2027. Looks awesome!

Today, its..... January 11 – National Hot Toddy Day

This is great! SPEED was an awesome coaster when I rode it in Oakwood, on two TPR tours. I think the first visit, when it had just opened in the park, I must have ridden it 15+ times! I loved it that much. Including the final double helix, which I fondly called "The Toilet Bowl," lol. Great coaster and I'm glad it's heading somewhere else, to keep it going. 2006 TPR UK Tour. With "The Bowl" on the left, there. A happy group, with myself included, heading back into the station. TPR 2006 UK Tour. Thanks to whoever took this shot back then! I forget who it was.

...and a Happy New Year, too! Have a happy, safe, and enjoyable year, every body!

Happy Holidays Everybody! And here's hoping for a better 2026. Ho ho ho.

Great PERK of your WORK! (Sry, had to do that) Awesome photos of all that you saw and toured through. Love all that vege -----tation.

One worm to another... "I'm in love with you.!" "Don't be silly" said the other worm, "I'm your other end."

A couple of days before The Day, I bought my usual set of scratch tix, this time actually paying a larger amount I'm not used to.... $20 ..... cdn. And some more candles at higher prices than my usual buy at Dollar Tree - they were totally sold out of all their tapers. No holiday ones, either. So, I paid over $40 Cdn for today's purchases. Merry, Mary!
