Daily Photo Tour - Tomorrowland Lights

Glowing faithfully at the end of every day are the lights of Tomorrowland. Storms don't stop them. It would seem, in fact, that they shine all the more brilliantly amidst tempestuous times, a characteristic not uncommon to progress. Tough times tend to push things forward. As the saying goes, "Necessity is the mother of invention."

Daily Photo Tour - Launching Towards Home

If you've ever had one of those nights where you save Space Mountain as the last ride, then I'm probably sure you are very familiar with this sight. I've always enjoyed walking through Tomorrowland after a long day in Disneyland. This view of the Astro Orbitor and People Mover track really feels like a launch track into space. Sometimes I wish we could replace the 2 hour drive from Disneyland to home with a space shuttle launch. Maybe some day? Then again, falling asleep while Matthew stays awake, driving, bug eye'd, and hopped up on Starbucks makes it feel like a quick launch back home! Maybe the title of this post should be, "Matthew Needs a Co-pilot"...

Google+

Google+ seems to be all the buzz right now, no pun intended. If you're not sure what Google+ is, it's Google's new social network, along the same idea as Facebook. Since it's still in trial mode, you have to be invited to join. We shamelessly sought out some invitations and were able to get on with last night's "gold rush" which caused Google to shut down invites and the effects of the demand for Google+ seemed to stretch all the way to Blogger, delaying our post. We would really love to see all our Tours Departing Daily friends have a strong presence, so tomorrow we will shoot out some invites on our Facebook page. The way it works is that you share your e-mail address so that we can send you an invitation. We ask that you only do this on the special status update that we post to our Facebook page specifically for this. We are not sure exactly how many invites we will be able to share, but what we've observed is people sharing five invites. If we are able to do more, we will. We ask that people who get an invite pay it forward on our Facebook page with posts of their own, sharing their invites with more of the Tours Departing Daily community. We think this will be big, so we're excited to be on the cutting edge with you in this. So stay tuned!

Daily Photo Tour - Gateway to Tomorrowland

The Astro Orbitor launches in Tomorrowland almost every 5 minutes. That's a lot of launches. I caught one of those last launches one night, while meandering through Disneyland looking for a new angle, something untouched, a new discovery if you will. I entered Tomorrowland from a whole new perspective and found exactly what I was looking for.
