Welcome to Palua
If you look up when in the Samoa Snacks at the Polynesian Resort you'll see the coolers are ready to be hoisted up and away at the Palua inspection area...

A living roof
Spring is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate than to go work in the yard? Maybe fix up some landscaping, plant some flowers, or in the case at the Norway pavilion - plant the roof. This green roof is over the outdoor eating area for the Kringla Cafe in Norway, it is an old idea that fits very well with today's "green" awareness... Just think - more shade, cleaner air, some flowers, and some tasty food from the cafe. What's not to like?

Let the good times roll...
It's Fat Tuesday and you know what that means, it is time to party it up! And no place parties quite like New Orleans - so it figures that New Orleans Square is also quite the place to get your fill of the festive feel... And yes, this was during the Christmas season - but they decorate it enough to be either holiday!

Desktop: Laid back in the Big Easy
Mardi Gras is in full swing, Fat Tuesday is tomorrow, and this week we're going to relax in the Big Easy. Well, actually we're in closest place to being there with out actually being there and that means only one thing - Port Orleans! With its extremely authentic details from narrow roads and sidewalks to the fountains and flowering trees and all around laid back yet festive atmosphere there is little reason to wonder why this is such a popular resort...

Impressions de France
If you look to the left as you are about to entire the Palais de Cinema you'll find a film poster for the very movie you are about to watch. It is in plain sight but not really in the obvious line of sight and is easy to walk right by...

Desktop: Avenida Esplendida
Avenida Esplendida, or Splendid Avenue, can be found alongside the Cantina de San Angel. And judging by the food and views I can hardly argue with the name!

Goof Chem Corp.
I'm not so sure I want Goofy handling chemicals, entertaining as that might be... But in this case it is just the flavorized sugar so it can't be that bad. This fauz-chemical drum is located in MouseWorks (check out the gears in the carpet!) as a part of the Goofy Candy Co. area of the store.

Fill up at Oscar's
Time to fill up the - stroller? Well, ok, so the strollers don't need fuel but the service station does rent them. The classic station sits right at the entrance but it is amazing how many people blast past it on the way in and then drag past it on the way out but don't stop to check out their surroundings. Look at those cool old pumps and other details!

Trash Can Tuesday: Dophins and flowers
It's Tuesday, do you know where your trash can is? Ok, so this is an easy one. The Swan and Dolphin have almost identical trash cans with a bit more ornate style and their respective hotel logos - this one of the Dolphin was found near the boat docks. They are also quite a bit like the Grand Floridian ones with the planters on top...

Desktop: Waterfront Dining
Ariel's Grotto in Paradise Pier is an architectural treat on the water. Both during the day and at night the restaurant looks sharp with its turn-of-the-century boardwalk charm. I'm not one for the character dining but it must be nice to sit down on the water in the evening and watch the lights come on around the park. I can't wait for the new Paradise Pier theme to take shape around this area, the classic boardwalk feel should really make it feel like you are stepping back a century from the sketches and drawings...

Hola!
Panchito, Donald, and Jose Carioca all welcome you to the Gran Fiesta! While it seemed a bit strange to imagine this trio joining El Rio del Tiempo the Imagineers did a terrific job of blending them into the ride and replacing some of the obviously dated video. A bit cheesey? Sure, but they still put on a good show.

Desktop: Lilly Belle
This week's desktop is of a familiar scene and a very fancy railcar. The recently restored Lilly Belle was formerly known as the Grand Canyon (#106) many years ago. Ironically it was the Grand Canyon diarama that put these cars out of service - it was too hard to see the displays. This car was turned into a private car in the 70's and was used to entertain dignitaries, etc. By the 90's it was starting to show its age and was taken out of service for restoration. It was returned to service at the end of 2005 and once again is making the rounds on the Disneyland Railroad.
