The other day I had the chance to try out a newly opened restaurant here in Terre Haute. The restaurant was called “Cheeseburger in Paradise” and it is part of a larger chain owned, not so surprisingly, by Jimmy Buffet. While there, I ordered the mini-cheeseburgers. Now, I have had mini-cheeseburgers before at a myriad… Read More »What a cheeseburger can tell us about Disney attractions
Disney has high hopes that its new park, its second in Asia after Tokyo, will be able to exploit the potentially vast market in China and the rest of the continent.

Tripp asked: Do you have any additional info on the story on local6.com – http://www.local6.com/news/4724689/detail.html – about Disney requiring the finger printing/scanning of ALL guests? I’ve… Read More »Disney requiring finger scanning for admission
Short ones, Darhling! Barring the appearance of an Incredibles Animated TV show (and don’t rule that out), the glow is off the movie and the DVD is up on the shelf. Still, one character shines through the mist of time and continues to show up high on the search terms used to find this site…… Read More »Edna Mode has legs!
