Disneyland has all kinds of cool details that I really never paid attention to since I was trying to get on a ride or go see something in particular. Particularly on Main Street, but elsewhere as well. But now that I’m into this, I realized there was one more really major thing I’ve never done: I started this blog with an idea of things I’d never done before, like riding the Main Street vehicles, or being at the rope-drop–stuff like that. Originally you entered on the first floor, but they have recently switched it and you now enter in what used to be the exit. The worst part is, like, everything else. The best part of Innoventions is the fact that it’s air-conditioned. Go figure.Īnyway, replacing America Sings was Innoventions. Yet despite this racism, Disney used Song of the South to create Splash Mountain and invited some of America Sings’s animals to the party. It was lame, and it closed and many of the animals moved to Splash Mountain where they now sing songs from a movie that has never been released on home video (and I mean video, like VHS, or Beta if you unfortunately chose the wrong format) because it’s completely racist. As I recall, this exhibition had a great deal of animatronic animals singing songs about America. It was also discontinued at Disneyland the year I was born (1973). The CoP was built by Walt and featured at the 1964 World’s Fair, and then moved to Disneyland. Once upon a time, there was an attraction called the Carousel of Progress. What makes Disneyland so magical? I don’t know, but I’m going to find out. So let’s do it! Let’s do everything there is to do at Disneyland, and MORE. It’s something different.Īnd you know what? I wanna figure out what it is. A clean park with detailed theming and happy people just doesn’t seem to cover it when thinking about Disneyland Magic. Nostalgia? Holy heck, yeah.īut all of those explanations feel…I don’t know…lacking. Happy employees? Absolutely–the Cast Members are fabulous. Is it because the rides are awesome? Yeah, that’s another great part about it. You KNOW how I feel about those.īut why? Is it because the park is clean? Yeah, that’s definitely a great part of Disneyland, especially when you walk around something like the county fair and feel like you’re wading in litter. I still get a little catch in my throat when I come around look down Main Street, and see the castle. Or typed something like “Home coffee bar” into Google, clicked over here, and decided to stick around.īut regardless of how we got here, the fact is that I’m spending a tremendous time at Disneyland after having already spent a tremendous time over the last few years, yet I still can’t wait to go again. Or are trying to convince someone else to love it. And I’m assuming if you’re reading this blog you love it. I mean it’s true, through wind or heat or rain or crowds or price, we’re still willing to go, and we still love it. As in “Le Fou, I’m afraid I’ve been thinking–a dangerous passtime–I know!”īecause it’s actually a really, really good question. I know, you probably thought I was ignoring her, but actually I’ve been thinking about this a lot. all for that little piece of magic you just can’t get anywhere else. What do you think it is that makes Disneyland so friggin magical? Because it is! We fight the crowds, wait in long lines, pay a ridiculous amount of money for tickets/passes, make a visit in a heat wave and/or rain, etc., etc. True, some handy features are locked behind a pay-wall and the screen sharing is less than perfect, but Join.Me is a versatile and complete presentation solution.So back when I solicited questions, Kristin wrote this: And the importance of it being viewable in a browser should not be overlooked, as is stops you having to worry about what programs your audience has installed. Join.Me is a great solution to set up quick presentations. These include the ability to handover the presentation to another user, record, and annotation – but the basics are all there to start you off. There are some features locked behind premium features. Audio and video are also nice and clear, although it does look like the screen presentation is being delivered through a 56k modem. On the presentation end, everything is very simple and works with ease. It even offers you the option to present your screen – like everything else – with a single click. Once you are ready to go, Join.Me gives you the option to present your meeting with video and audio. Like every other feature of the Join.Me this is activated by a simple click of the appropriate button, making it intuitive enough for anyone to use. If you don’t feel like jumping straight into a full presentation then you can start chatting through a simple message window as people arrive.
