Our Journey - Destination Disney-Disney Hollywood Studios-Pixar Place

Destination Disney-Disney Hollywood Studios-Pixar Place

This post is a few days late because I was waiting for my pictures. Jordan, my soon to be 14 yr old was at Walt Disney World April 30-May 2 with my dad. You see, they share May 29th as their birthdate. Back when Disney announced that this year you could get in to one park for free on your birthday, Poppop, my dad, promised Jordan they would go. Our seasonal passes expired in January of 2008 so this was a big deal and they had been talking about their birthday trip for months. My father teaches some weekend classes at the local community college and when he got his summer schedule a few weeks ago he found out he would be working on May 29th! Since he was unable to take Jordan on that day he instead planned a 3 day trip for just the 2 of them. I sent Jordan with a list of photo ideas based on the upcoming topics of the Destination Disney meme. So n ow that you have read my disclaimer...on to my post.

This week's topic is Pixar Place. Pixar Place is the street formerly known as Mickey Avenue. This is now the home to the Toy Story Mania attraction. When I was at Disney in September 2007 this is what Pixar Place looked like...

Yes, all Pixar Place was in Septemver 2007 was signs on a fence-teasing park visitors about what was to come.

Fast forward to 2009. In the last 2 months both of my children have ridden Toy Story Mania on their birthday trips to Disney (someday I'll get to ride it). They both said the very long wait was worth it. The queue themeing is amazing and the ride was a lot of fun and seems longer than most rides. This is the picture Jordan brought back from Pixar Place.
