Walks around Chicago

Since May 15, I've been taking walks around the north side of Chicago with my iPhone in hand for exercise.  As of August 30, 2012, according to a GPS app I've been using to track my walks, I've racked up over 300 miles.  The photo mosaic below is made of some of the 2000+ photos I've taken on those walks.  (Click on the mosaic for a larger view.)

Strange site on the way to Disney's Hollywood Studios

About 10:15 a.m. this morning, while walking from Disney's BoardWalk to Disney's Hollywood Studios, I saw this strange "memorial" on the side of the canal.

Disney's Doorway to Dreams

Closing on September 15, 2012.  I guess Disney believes that they've sold as many "Vacation Club" memberships to Chicagoans while they're in Chicagoland that they can sell.

Tour of Wrigley Field

Took the tour of Wrigley Field today for the first time in over 30 years.  Among other things, this tour visited the press box and the field, and there was no risk of seeing the Cubs lose, because it was an off-day.   Lots of photos added to the end of the Chicago slideshow on ASD's Home Town Chicago page.  Here is a sampling.

Astro Orbiter - Magic Kingdom 2012

I think this was my first ride on the Astro Orbiter since an E-Ride night back in September 2000.

Space Mountain - Work Lights On - 2012

Flying Past Walt Disney World - April 24, 2012

This is the first time I ever saw the entire Walt Disney World Resort by air -- or, at least, the first time I knew it was Walt Disney World.  Perfect skies helped and since the plane is headed south, we traveled along the entire Resort from North to South to make our landing at MCO by approaching it from the South.
