A nice relaxing trip to the Disneyland resort. Was able to visit both parks and eat Dinner at ESPN. The parks were running on a reduced schedule both hours and entertainment wise. Disneyland closed at 10 and DCA at 8. And with the crowds I can see why. Both parks seemed quiet.

ESPN: Was a good dinner, managed to get a booth without even asking for it. The food came quick too this time.

We have moved our trip rundowns and mileage reports to our Park Miles section.

Disneyland Items:

• The crowd felt like a typical offseason crowd. People milling around but no extremely long lines for anything. For most of the eveing Indy was under 20 minutes. Pooh at 5 minute waits only, so I guess the novelty has worn off (either that or we had good timing)

• Still kind of sad to walk around the park with so much closed or gone forever.

• Elvis was at Club Buzz, he put on a great show to probably a 2/3 full crowd.

• No Believe this off season, just one showing of Fantasmic. Still a great show at 11 years old.

• Frontierland was still mostly closed off due to the Thunder accident a few weeks ago. Seems like they should be able to open the walkway at least sometime soon. Just put up the rehab walls around the attraction.

• The work on the Toontown skyline is progressing nicely and looking good.

  
  

DCA Items:

• Mild crowd, did not look at attraction wait times really.
  
• New show on the Backlot stage called DUH (Department of Untapped Hillarity). It reminded me a lot of Whose Line, some different games and no points. It had a couple people from the comedy troop that used to be in Condor Flats (guessing most of the cast is from over there). Overall I thought that it was OK. If I was in the area and it was going on I'd probably stop for a while. I don't see myself seeking it out or watching more than one show at a time. I still wish they would go back to the backlot theme of a stunt show like the original one. I am sure they could figure out a way to fix it so it was better than the original.
  
• The park seemed kind of flat to me. Not that much activity.. might be due to the fact that I was only there for about an hour the entire evening.
