I was inspired to find this week’s videopolis after seeing Youtube user Ally Townsend profiled on ABC News as the person of the week.

I was at the Magic Kingdom early Saturday morning with my son making our usual rounds. Since the new interactive play queue for Winnie The Pooh opened, one of my son’s favorite things to do has been to get in some quality play time before the queue gets too busy. Going on the ride is actually a bit secondary to enjoying the queue, at least until the newness wears off.
As it turns out there was already a small line for the standby queue and just as we walked up, a cast member was moving aside the trees that just the day before had blocked entrance to the Tigger’s Bouncy Place section of the queue. Based on reports online, it seems like this is just a ‘soft-open’ for that section of the queue and it may or may not be open when you visit.
Looking closely at the bounce pads, it appears Disney has done some work on each one adjusting the spring mechanism to provide a stiffer spring and a shallower dip. Each pad is surrounded by new soft ground that doesn’t quite match the color of the other ground that was laid when the queue was built.
Here’s a quick video of Tigger’s Bouncy Place in action:

It wasn’t that good of a movie, but the song A Little Patch of Heaven from Home On The Range makes one heck of a barbershop quartet song. Check out this version from Section 4. Hard to believe they’re in high school.
Internet connectivity is a bit poor on the Disney Dream. Thankfully that’s about the worst I can say about the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. Until I get better internet, here are a few pics to enjoy.
Feeling trapped? Okay, so I’m not either, but the Powells managed to find themselves in three different lock down type situations. (Okay, so I’m stretching here with the kids. Just work with me.)
