Quick Trip Report and New Postcards

Just got back from a Father's Day weekend to Disneyland - no place I'd rather be. Of course, we had to take in Star Tours 3D. Rode it five times in two days. In a word, AWESOME. I also picked up the new Star Tours postcard folder. The folder comes with ten cards attached by a perforated edge. (There's actually only nine cards, but they count the back cover as a card.) You can see the whole collection here near the bottom of the page.

We also ventured over to DCA to ride Little Mermaid. It's an absolutely gorgeous building - beautifully themed inside and out. I thought the attraction was very well done, although I've heard people complain the ending wraps up too quickly.

Race to Death Valley

I think we might be entering another golden age of comics. Or should that be, a golden age of comic reprints. I just picked up "Mickey Mouse Race to Death Valley" (hardback, 288 pgs). These are reprints of daily comic strips from the 1930s by Disney legend Floyd Gottfredson. Between now and the end of the year, I think there are at least five books coming out that we feature old, classic Disney comic book stories. If you're a fan of early Disney, or early Mickey Mouse, or just comics, this book is a must have.
