Downtown Disney

Departure Day-2 - "Superimposter" - Oceansize

Wow, just been to Downtown Disney, that was an experience and a half. I was there for nearly three hours. After about half an hour, I lost the ability to think. I wandered round in a capitalist haze, gawking at some of the awesome stuff they had. The Lego shop was wicked, they had a huge bank full of every piece of Lego imaginable. There was a little 'build your own Lego man' station and even an impressively built Lego Space Shuttle. I went into the sweet shop, and when trying to buy a 1/4 of jelly beans, bout about 1 1/2 pounds! The House at Pooh Corner shop actually smelt of honey. There was a Disney Art shop that sold pictures, even had people sat in it drawing and painting pictures. I was a Disney Model Castle that was encrusted with jewels and cost $37500! Yes that's right, 37K!!!!

There was a club there, and a rock show playing, but tickets were $33 and that too much to be spending on a gig of bands I have never heard of.

There was also a huge building dedicated to 'make your own remote control car'! Which was pretty cool. These things could cost thousands, little shock absorbers, spoilers, body kits, engines (motors) the lot. Was pretty sweet. But all a bit much. A friend of mine described it as "Having Mickey Mouse rammed down your throat at every opportunity" and he was not exaggerating in any way!

Now I need some ear bleeding Techno as an antidote :)
