Before we returned to Eugene, we had to go to Disneyland while we were in Southern California. Though I'm really delighted by the magical world that Walt Disney created to inspire the imagination, I must express my extreme disappointment in Tomorrowland. I might add, I'm not the first to criticise it, either.

Though Walt's initial idea was to encourage participation in future possibilities, there's no way he could keep up on the innovations and probably for this reason was never truly happy with it. So what to they decide to do? Display "The Future that Never Was." Uh, what? Showing our failures in such a whimsical light encourages us to refrain from criticising them. It's really sad.

Was I the only one that thought it entirely ridiculous that Chevron was sponsoring Autopia, a little car ride that is still run on gas of all things?!



Nope, I guess I wasn't the only one. My wife found it laughable, too. Note that driving this ill-concieved contraption requires no input besides hitting the gas pedal.



Oh well, at least Walt has inspired one person to cycle:



..or at least Belle, Aurora and Cinderella have. :)
