Damn apparently I didn't take a shot that looked really creepy, otherwise I would have posted it full size instead of resized like these.

You said that 'it's a small world' is redone? when? the pictures look like what I remember from a few years back.
I'm a geek I love "it's a small world" ... It's a 'happy' place. I love boat rides and I love all the animation. I actually took a video of the ride when I went with Candy\Amy - geek geek geek.

Ethan's grandparents (mom's side) live about 15 minutes from Disneyland. He's not even three yet and he's been there about 16 times. I've never been once and I'd like to keep it that way.
You have to understand that I grew up in a place without "theme parks". The closest thing would have to be the massive Kristiansand Dyrepark in Norway, several hours away. ( http://www.dyreparken.com/index.jsp?c=18273 ) That place kicked ass when I was growing up, and actually now that I look at that website, they've since added theme parks and entertainment crap. D'oh! When I was there it was an enormous zoo, spread out all over the place. Just a huge preserve that took forever to fully explore. Oh well.
I dig natural, real things. Outdoors, exploring, etc. Of course in Norway kids can go out for 13 hours a day and not worry about anything, and that's how I spent my time for years. We'd hop on our bikes, ride downtown, surprise my dad at his office, go to the fish market by the harbor, go window shopping downtown, explore old abandoned buildings and WWII remnants like nazi bunkers on the way home, etc. Over here you'd disappear and end up on the news.
Manmade things like theme parks with blinking lights and bizarre rides just grate on every last nerve in my body. They just exude fakeness and completely lack any real substance. Not to mention the thousands of people stumbling from kiosk to kiosk, ride to ride like
s. I just can't deal. I'd rather fly Ethan to Europe, hop a train, and show him the world. Not a glorified parking lot filled with fake buildings and people dressed like cartoon characters. I want him to actually learn things and be stimulated in meaningful ways, if that makes sense. He is not going to be a video game or t.v. kid, at least nowhere near my house.
I'm actually terrified of the fact that as he gets older the only outlet for his boredom might be a shopping mall. I'd like to move to Atlanta. Close to Appalachia for hiking, the ocean for swimming and fishing, that new huge aquarium, one of my attorneys is moving there and needs a paralegal, etc.

thanks for the small world pictures. i remember it as being creepy and dark. it was odd...like something wasn't quite right. the music, the frozen kids methodically shifting their heads from side to side...creeeeeeepy.
and wasn't there some ride there with an elevator and ghosts?
