Kids, Mike here. Blogging from Starbucks somewhere in Orange County (Fullerton-ish).
Jungle fans are in trouble.
I've got a new Ipad2 and I'm not afraid to use it.
Perhaps posts will increase precipitously.
You have been warned.
Is it just me, or...
...could you go for a noseful of Pirates of the Caribbean watery cavern smell?
...is the new "Facial hair is okay" policy adopted by the Disney folks kindofa heartbreaker?
...have you encountered one or two pretty good Jungle skippers in your recent trips to the Park? Must be something in the water...
...does a Hearthstone Lounge Bloody Mary sound good right about now? I can see the droplets of condensation forming around the outside of the glass as I type this! Extra spicy, please, James!
...would a front row deck chair on the bow of the Mark Twain be a nice thing to have under you? Ah, watch New Orleans Square slide slowly by you. Be sure to wave at the folks along the shore! Cue the steam whistle blast. One more for good measure. Now the bell: Ding! Ding! "Bowman, cast off bow lines...!"
...are you overdue for a trip to the Park, too?
...do you find that work really seems to get in the way between trips to the Park? Sheesh!
...are these venti iced coffees wickedly good around 10:50 a.m.? Or 5:50 a.m., or 10:30 p.m. for that matter? The first step towards a cure is admitting you have a problem. Hello, I'm Mike and I am a caffeine addict...and I do not wish to quit.
...does Trader Sam look like he's lost some weight? I hear he's switched over to a vegetarian diet, and we all know vegetarians just don't have much meat on them...
...is a return of the Peoplemover now embarrasingly long overdue? Um...hello...the track is pretty much still there (a little Rocket Rods leftover demolition and, boom, we're in business...come on! WED still has the old blueprints somewhere, I'm sure!)
...have an amazingly high number of this blog's hopes and wishes for the Park actually come to pass over the past few years? (Lincoln's back, they've put in a food service location at the Plaza Pavilion, the Park is immaculate, Plaza Gardens has big bands with regularity, the Skyway is again floating high above Fantasyland...okay, 4 out of 5 isn't bad). That's the kind of pull we have here at Jungle is "101"...
...do a few of you out there in Internet Land wish you still had the mouse on your name tag and the name tag on your costume? Move it up, Skip! How many here? Right this way, stay on the outside of the boat and head all the way up to the front by the skipper!
I love you people!

The IPad 2 (or even the first generation) is just a gateway drug. Soon you'll be wanting a Macbook Air or a Mac Mini...or both. A device so sufficiently intriguing it could have been invented by WED. With I was somewhere Fullerton-ish (instead of Nashville), so I could pull up the Maps app and just head over to the Happiest Place on Earth--not that I'd need the map to get there. Don't neglect to download the Dragon Dictation app. Then you can sip, talk and post all in three easy steps.
I know you have the power so use it - bring back the Skyway!
An iPad eh? Good to hear you can now blog on whim, where ever you are. :-)
Fellow former skipper here. Love your blog!
