Now, that's a whole lotta trip report! Lovin' it all.
Love all of the photos, but, the Wicked ones are my favorites! I saw Wicked at the Pantages last summer and LOVED it!!!!!
Great trip report! You sure did pack a lot into your trip out here.
Now I'm listening to Wicked! ha! The photos made me so jealous!!! ;)
Thanks for the great pictures and report!
cool TR
when did the cast for wicked change?
The floating piano looks like something that belongs in haunted mansion *hint hint WDI* =)
JoAnne Worley is fantastic! We saw her last year in New York in "The Drowsy Chaperone" and she was great. Such an icon from the 70's. So great to see her back in action.
Great trip reports Aladdin! Looks like you had a fun filled weekend. Thanks for taking pictures in the middle of all this fun.
Right on! Enjoyed the 'trip'! :)
I will go to a few (DCA) Hollywood pics next, and as you can see,
I'm repeating some of the Hollywood Inspiration Pics beside the DCA version:

With all the beautiful older buildings on Hollywood Blvd and the rest of the area,
Disney should have no trouble finding unique store fronts for the huge new entry area ~
and it will be fun to try and match up those buildings with the original inspirations!
Looks like I still have some work to do, in that regard. I will have to look at
those original MiceAge article again!
OK, now back to DCA's new parade:
The Jellyfish gals with Jellyfish:

AND to my great surprise, my favorite part of the parade was working on Monday!!!
Jack-Jack was flamming again!!! I just LOVE this Picture!

After the Parade, made a stop at the Animation Building
and Beasts Library:

and then I made side trip to the Grand Californian, but said "Hi" to GRR first:

I made sure to finally take a Picture of the stained glass entry door:

I ate at Whitewater snacks several times during the trip, and EVERY time,
this little kitty was always there to great me:

Even though there is sometimes a wait for the food, it is always terrific!
I love the burgers, the jalepeno chicken sandwich is fantastic, the chicken
salad croissant is wonderful, and the beef and chicken nacho's are both
THE BEST!!! This biggest problem there is how do I choose what to eat,
because it's all Great!
Next up, will be some pictures of DCA that will HOPEFULLY become part of
YESTERLAND DCA, in the real near future! I just had to take some picture before Beer Garden comes in, and before the Carney section of DCA is obliterated!
How fun to see the cast! Been wanting to see wicked look like you guys had a great weekend!
Thanks so much for this pic Todd...
