BABY DUCKS and cleaning out my e-mail, did I mention BABY DUCKS?
OK, Wednesday afternoon I had one of the best days ever at Disneyland as I followed "Mom" and her dozen ducklings, the first ones of the year at Disneyland.
Not much in the news this week, but PLENTY of Refurb Walls in the parks.
Have you read Al yet?
Sorry, I like the flowers at the bottom, but the "centerpiece" still is AWFUL!

MiceAge.com - A different look at Disney...
Yes, here at MiceAge we LOVE to mention when Disney does something good, but on the other hand, when they make a mistake (aka Screw up) we are not afraid of mentioning it. And this is a MAJOR mistake, and does not belong on Main Street.
LARGE CROWDS in the SoCal area for the next 2 months
Today is the start of Spring Break crowds. Yes, 8 weeks of schools being on vacation, of course, not at the same time. Disneyland is expanding its operating hours to deal with the expected large crowds.
And starting this coming Wednesday (March 11th), the Big West Basketball Tournament (NCAA) will be at the Anaheim Convention Center, just across the street from Disneyland.
If you want to attend (and thanks to the ESPNZone for the info), call 714-765-8980 and Mention code: BWC09 for a $10 discount on the session package.
And if you want to have fun, check out the ESPNZone on Thursday March 12th from 4 to 5:30 PM, as they will host the Big West Mascot Challenge.

Two great places, both Mimi's and HoJo's have great service, and get great reviews.

Selected Photos from Darkbeer.Smugmug.com
OK, lots of photos to check out, and yes, there are LOTS of additional Baby Duck photos at the link
OK, last week, I posted a similar photo, but without the wall in the "center", the next day (Saturday) the "extra" walls were installed. I wonder why?
OK, last week the sign was MUCH more specific, directing folks from the "bridge" and the detour. Why did they change to a much LESS specific wording?
New Maps have been added to the DCA Refurb Walls. (Yes, the map itself has been part of Blue Sky for months)
Where is Cal-Trans?
Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho.....
Celebration Restaurant is behind schedule.
Once again, I need to thank you for coming here to MiceAge, it is "strange" to be a known person, but I do appreciate when guests come over and say hello when I am at the parks.
So on behalf of MiceAge (and my e-mail) Thanks so much for checking in, go have a Free Roastburger and have a GREAT weekend.

Great update!Posted 03-06-2009 at 07:50 AM by WheresMickey
- The animals are really such a big part of the park experience. If I was a bird of any type I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.Posted 03-06-2009 at 08:03 AM by RabidAlienz

Love the ducks!
Well shoot about the 11th. That is the birthday of the teacher I work for and we are playing hooky from school that day.
Regarding the Melodrama theater in Long Beach. I just saw their last production and it was lots of fun so expect this one will be too. Also went to see the Billies perform there in February and it was essentially the Green Team show. Lots of fun because they can say things they can't say at the park.

Great stuff. We've been wanting to try the Arby's roast-burger, thanks for the link!!!Posted 03-06-2009 at 11:44 AM by sir clinksalot -
Great pics, Duckbeer. I felt like I was right there, obsessively following them around with you, except I didn't have to worry about what I looked like. I love that baby ducks always steal the show -- even in Disneyland. By the way, what was up with the men with the blue gloves and cardboard boxes? Duck wranglers? Were they trying to keep them off the walkways? That one shot of the guy with a packed handful of ducklings is priceless.Posted 03-06-2009 at 12:18 PM by PhantomBlot -
Maybe I'm a dork, but I LOVE the picture of the ducks entering the gate under the "Do not enter" sign.Posted 03-06-2009 at 01:25 PM by Nancy Carey -
Gotta say I find the Celebrate baloon photo-spot to be incredibly tacky looking--particularly inside of Main Street. If it were outside the front gate in the plaza between the parks, or over in Downtown Disney--I think it would work really well as a weenie to build interest--but inside the parks? yuckPosted 03-06-2009 at 02:00 PM by BrerDan -
Wow - that was so much fun following the ducks in the pictures :-)
I am right there with ya!Quote:Maybe I'm a dork, but I LOVE the picture of the ducks entering the gate under the "Do not enter" sign.Posted 03-06-2009 at 02:24 PM by airick75 -
Nice Duckies. Just nobody step on one like Rodney Dangerfield did in Caddyshack...

OMG I have to go to Disneyland this weekend since the BABY DUCKS ARE HERE! I wasn't going to go, but now I need too...Posted 03-06-2009 at 02:53 PM by twobluestripes -
She'll steal a line from the Roadrunner and hold up a sign saying "Ducks can't read!"Quote:Originally Posted by NancyCareyMaybe I'm a dork, but I LOVE the picture of the ducks entering the gate under the "Do not enter" sign.Posted 03-06-2009 at 03:03 PM by Bruce Bergman -
Personally, I don't think the new center piece on Main Street looks horrible, out of place or screwed up. I love it, cuz it's colorful, festive, fun and a great photo spot. I'm very happy it's there!Posted 03-06-2009 at 04:37 PM by DisneyFunGuy
