  1. Can someone fill me in on the number 12 associated with Star Tours. Was it the 12th attraction to open?

  2. Can someone fill me in on the #12 associated with Star Tours. Was it the 12th attraction to open?

    • Nothing, we were making a joke about the structure currently being built at Disney California Adventure

  3. The first photo of the mattresses was hilarious! And great caption.

    I love how you included more about Pop Century and the continued construction of Art of Animation property. We all get hungry at the end of a long day and the pictures of food are excellent because I didn't know Pop Century had Chipotle Shrimp Flatbread. How much was the flatbread?
