60 - Pomona Fwy
710 - Long Beach Fwy
5 - Golden State Fwy / Santa Ana Fwy
101 - Hollywood Fwy / Ventura Fwy

Is the 91 the Artesia Fwy?

Except when it's the Riverside Freeway

1FoolishMortal is absolutely right in correcting me regarding June 12th as being a Friday. I firmly place the blame on my wife who was in possession of a calendar when I called from the back room asking what day June 12th fell on. She didn't hear the "June" part and gave me the 12th of April. I apologize to you for not verifying the info passed on by my sources before committing said info to print. Ha! Either way, if FRIDAY June 12th is indeed the big day, I will most assuredly be along the banks of the Rivers of America by 7:00pm for the 9:00pm return performance. Hope to see you all there. It all depends on whether or not Disney's Electrical Parade is premeiring on that evening. If so, then I will have to catch the 10:30 Fantasmic! instead.

Great job Fishy in getting on site to snap the picture as the copter transported the dragon fly into Disneyland! This sophisticated giant animatronic will make a huge difference in improving Fantasmic!

So glad that they opted against the giant animatronic of Jay Rasulo. Although, it would have been a great joy to see Mickey defeat his evil. Ed Grier told me that he feels the same as I do.

Cool, thanks!

He was just out at that time of night anyways

This date seems odd to me though as June 12th is a Sunday. A debut on the last day of a weekend? Disneyland will be having extended hours by this time of June but they are only showing they're operating schedule (on the Disneyland website) for just a few weeks into the future. Oh, anyone know why Fantasmic! is not listed on Disneyland's website as being under refurbishment, but the Steve Martin film (which is not coming back-as a main attraction) is? Seems more likely that public interest would favor Fantasmic! rather than the outdated film. No offense Steve.

June 12 is a Friday actually... I know because I'm flying IN on that day.. LOL! So, I think that sounds like a decent date... I hope so cuz that is the ONLY week I'll be around for my Disneyland time.. so I'm PRAYING it's open and there!

LOL!!!! You ARE forgiven!! That is so funny! I have so many calendars around our house because we have too many doctor appts, and dates to keep track off with teenagers, and elderly parents... ROFL!

TDA is the Team Disney Anaheim building behind ToonTown. It is a big ugly yellow and green building.

It's also known to many (Cast Members) as the Festival of Fools.

So I've heard they are now testing the new dragon. Anyone catch it and get any pics of it in action?

[LangenFox]

I happen to find the old Tick Tock Crocodile Barge from Fantasmic! When I was walking to the Disneyland Resort with mother. It was by the backstage gates, I think they are planning to leave it there for a while. Since it is going to be replaced by a new Crocodile Barge.

I should have taken a picture of it, when I had the chance. But darn it!

Even though I'm not a huge fan of Frank Gehry, I happen to like the bright yellow TDA building... More so, when you're driving passed it on the I-5 it changes colors!
