Life is a Journey

Since this post will be up a day or two after the official opening, I was afraid you were going to be bored already with the Little Mermaid stuff all over the Internet. But...I decided to show you my day anyway!! I actually started at Disneyland, arriving at 9:00 a.m. but I'll show you those pictures another time. Right now, let's get to the Little Mermaid attraction, shall we? There were two lines into DCA, I got into the shorter of the two. They used the exits as an entrance and that's where I entered because that's how I roll. A lone castmember is directing Annual Passholders over to Condor Flats.

Once inside DCA, I was envious of these people having a leisurely lunch in such a lovely setting. (Actually, I was wishing I was sitting there having some wine!) Ooooh, final touches going on! I have to say, it's pretty exciting to see all the changes that have taken place! The new color scheme is gorgeous. The painters were out in full force today. (Or should I say artists???) Another look at King Triton... Look at these details! Now we see a glimpse of the new restaurant area... From across the lagoon you get a nice look at the mountains in Carlsland.
