The Continuing Adventures of Jud

I remember when I was very young, and Walt himself hosted every Sunday night, his telling us of this new place he was building in Florida. I particularly remember the description and images of the ultra modern techniques and design being used to build the showcase resort of Walt Disney World, The Contemporary.



As a kid, still excited to some degree by toy dumptrucks, I was fascinated to watch as a giant crane lifted a completed room and inserted it into the side of the concrete A-frame that defined the building.



And in addition to that was the Grand Canyon Concourse, through which a real monorail would run!



I dreamed of someday actually seeing this place myself, and maybe even staying there; haven't done that yet, but I have certainly seen it many times now, and on one Saturday in June, I took the elevator to one of the upper floors to get some new pictures.

Henceforth, this is where my Disney Photo of the Day will be.
It allows for a larger viewing size than Blogger
and the site doesn't make me as nervous as Facebook.



Jud's Disney POTD

On Saturday, June 5th, 2010, there was a preview of the new Nightastic fireworks show, and the return of the Main Street Electrical Parade at the Magic Kingdom for Annual Passholders- and anyone else who happened to be there.



I took an easy afternoon around the park while I was waiting for the evening's events, and passed through the Main Street stores to by pass the parade where I spotted these new bobble head figures:

Later, I enjoyed a couple of the dark rides, and as I was coming out of Winnie the Pooh, I spotted a couple of items that I thought were pretty neat!
