Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald, writer and producer for the original Star Tours and for the upcoming “Star Tours: The Adventures Continue” spoke mostly about the creation … Continue reading "D23’s Destination D – Making of Star Tours"

D23’s Destination D – Scavenger Hunt

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Today was the day – the very first official scavenger hunt at a Disney park! Deb, Jeanine, Lee and I were a team. (A lot of the teams had matching shirts, hats, Mickey ears, or other apparel – we weren’t that organized.) We really had a wonderful time, though we didn’t win. It was a … Continue reading "D23’s Destination D – Scavenger Hunt"

D23’s Destination D 2010 – Day 2

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Day 2 of Destination D came early! I’m not sure what time people started lining up to get in – the first session started at 9:00, and they didn’t open the doors until after 8:00, but there was already a substantial line at 7:30. Lee and I have been happy just to wait and go … Continue reading "D23’s Destination D 2010 – Day 2"

Disneyland 2010 Half Marathon – Race Day

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Actually I’m going to start with Saturday night. We thought we would have a view of World of Color from our room and we were right – it was a sideways view, so we could just see a little bit of the central projection screen. And that wasn’t clear enough to make out what was … Continue reading "Disneyland 2010 Half Marathon – Race Day"
