It reminds me of … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Patriotic"

On my last trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the Streets of America were walled off in preparation to its transition into the new Star Wars and Pixar areas. It did make me a little sad as those streets, comprising the cities of New York and San Francisco, was a favorite place to stroll through.
