Now I'm using Google Maps Streetview of Disneyland to see where these entries are located, and what they look like now.
Thank you Disney for allowing Google to do that.

This might be the one book that's better on paper than digital.
Lots of map references. I've made bookmarks and highlights to TRY to easily flip to/from them. If I ever want to visit the park to study it's history, I just might buy a paper copy.

Sept 18-19 1986 Disneyland was open for 2 days straight for Captain EO. Everyone was wearing their rainbow EO shirts.
Jan 9-10 1987 They did the same for Star Tours. I forgot what goodie they offered.
Probably still miffed that they got rid of Monsanto’s Voyage thru Inner-Space.

Loving the 62 Disneyland Debuts.
I was there around May 1977 for opening of Space Mountain. My Mom nearly crushed me.
Holding on to me for dear life, knowing I would fall out of the car and die.

James is finished with Ready Player Two (Ready Player One, #2)

My eyes devoured this book. Only the tiredness of the rest of this body hindered a one session run at reading it.

A totally different slant to what you might be expecting.

James is 55% done with Ready Player Two (Ready Player One, #2)

I couldn't put it down since I first downloaded it from Amazon early this morning. Now only tiredness is making me stop.
I love the fact that I'm totally getting all the references.

I had a few questions at the end of RP1 & glad they were answered here.
Nod off and nap before continuing...
