I finally got around to updating the layout of this blog. The best parts are a new search feature at the top of the page and a list of the most popular posts at the bottom of the page.
Another feature I like but some people think it's annoying is the Amazon Deals box on the right side of the page. I like this because I check this every single day. I wish I was kidding. I'm a sucker for a good deal and often the gold box deals are the best you can find anywhere.
Another thing I'm doing is rolling out associated products. When I post a video or photo, I'll list the camera I used. I'll also include the newest Disney swag as I come across it.
Here is the first product - This has nothing to do with the new layout it's just one of my wifes favorite Disney movies. That's saying a lot. As many of you know my wife isn't a big Disney fan.

The Relocation Program
People love old rides because they remember going on them when they were children. When one of those rides closes is seems like a piece of their childhood has taken away. It’s a doubled edged blade. On one side you need to keep updating the parks. On the other side it’s tough to pull the plug on a beloved attraction but what can you do?
Simple – relocate.
Here are some rides that are should be relocated to protect history and to keep the parks moving forward.
1 – The Tiki Room: This ride is beloved but it’s almost a waste of space at this point. It’s time to retire it to a lovely location where it would fit like a glove on a hand. It should be moved to the Polynesian Resort. Change its run time to once an hour to keep a decent crowd and surround it with gift shops. I really think this could draw people to the resort.
2 – The Country Bear Jamboree: Where can you put the CBJ? There’s only one place it could call home, Fort Wilderness. Moving it there would save this attraction from being canned.
3 – The Carousal of Progress: Crowds have been dropping over the years. Disney’s been ignoring it. There is a lot of talk of this ride getting closed. It’s a classic. It can’t be closed. Move it to the Contemporary. It’s not a perfect fit but the only other place I could think to move it to is downtown Disney but I think that’s even worse.
There are a number of other attractions that should be saved but they are too big or really don’t fit in anywhere. For those rides it’s just a matter of time. For the ones I just mentioned I really think they can be saved.
