Tomatoes Are All Gone… Time To Go To Disneyland

Yup!  It’s been a couple of weeks so we invited Brian and Jan to join us at Catal for dinner.  We got to Disneyland about 3:00 PM and went to Soaring Around The World!  Wow!  The graphics were amazing!

We soared over the world!

The new scenes include a flight over Switzerland’s Matterhorn, the Arctic Ocean with a leaping whale, the Sydney Opera House in Australia, Germany’s Neuschwanstein castle, a herd of African elephants, the Great Wall of China, Egyptian pyramids, India’s Taj Mahal, hot air balloons in Monument Valley on the Arizona-Utah border, outrigger boats off Fiji, the Iguazu waterfalls on the Argentina-Brazil border and France’s Eiffel Tower. The Chinese version of the movie concludes with nighttime fireworks over Shanghai’s skyline, but the California version ends at Disneyland.

Gone are the artificial scents of lemon blossom, evergreen and sagebrush that used to simulate a hang-gliding flight over California. The new international scent effects include grass over Africa, an ocean breeze over the South Pacific and roses over India.
A new soundtrack performed by the London Studio Orchestra is based on the original Soarin’ score. Patrick Warburton, best known as Elaine’s on-again, off-again boyfriend Puddy on “Seinfeld,” returns as chief flight attendant and the host of Soarin’.

Over the wall we go!

Over the wall we go!

We had a great dinner at Catal with Paul trying the “Brick Chicken”… Why brink you ask, a brick (or sanitary substitute) is put in the chicken while it cooks!

Brian got his first of the trip burger

What did we do next you might ask?  We assisted 7 of 9 stay human in spite of a Borg device attempting to rejoin her into the collective…. It is tough work but someone has to do it!

About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend. Mary and I got married July 28th, 2021, and are enjoying life together and plan to spend the rest of our lives being a blessing to our friends and family.
