Disneyland in China

I told my niece to stare at the goat on Thunder Mountain at Disneyland. Apparently when you stare at it (look for it on the hill with the rattle snakes), it gives you a dizzy feeling that adds to the excitement of the ride. She confirmed that she did feel more dizzy than normal when she stared at the goat.
I know there is actually a petting zoo there but I haven't gone yet. I wonder what it's like and what animals they have there.

We asked for a death certificate in the hallway of the Haunted Mansion and we didn't get one. We were told by the cast member that we would have to actually be deceased. Happy to be alive. He also told us that the Haunted Mansion is the one ride that exists at all of the Disneyland parks.

There are four Disneyland parks. One in Orlando Florida, one in Japan (Tokyo), one in the sunny and beautiful Southern California and one in France (Paris). The great news is that there are about to be five Disneyland parks. The new one will be in China.

I got excited about this and my choice with the consistent writing topic, Disneyland. I started thinking the Disneyland annual pass I have would get me into every park around the world. I just wanted to make sure so I asked at City Hall and they said I'd have to get a different one for every park.

Perhaps there is a way. After all, it is a "Small World".

Two Step - Best Live Version Ever.

Keys

I suppose the time will come when I can ask more specific questions. Like, can I have the keys to the dream suite above Pirates of the Caribbean? And, can I visit the office of Walt Disney? Can I write an entry in there? Maybe a few?
What would you wish for if you could make a wish in the Wish Lounge?
If you had the keys to Disneyland, what would you do with them?
What would our cities be like if we made our Main Streets to be more like the one at Disneyland?

Main Street Businesses

I tried to walk into the dental school on Main Street at Disneyland and the door was locked. A while later I asked in City Hall if the dental school office was a real or fictitious business. The attendant let me know that it's a real business but the Dr. has to be in the office in order to open the door. I asked if all of the businesses on Main Street were real or fictitious and he said that they are all real businesses.

Sometime later I knocked on the dental school door to see if the Dr. was there and would open the door but there was no answer. Maybe it would open up if I really wanted to attend dental school. To be honest I am more interested in asking about the laughing gas.

I read on Wikipedia that "laughing gas", also known as Nitrous oxide, in its early days was referred to as a ""Factitious Air"" that upon inhalation was theorized to potentially treat lung diseases like tuberculosis. I also read via Wikipedia that in childbirth, sometimes Nitrous oxide is used instead of an epidural. I found this and many other facts about the "air" interesting to say the least.

There is a hotel right across the way from the dental school, though if you get a dose of Nitrous oxide at the dentist you are able to safely drive home. The hotel is for "cast members only" but there were quite a few people in there. That door was locked too. Who has all of the keys to Disneyland? That should be my next question.

Johnny Depp on Pirates

I noticed on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland that the pirate that resembles Johnny Depp's character is in at least three different places. If I were to speak about it I might say, "Johnny Depp is in three different places on the ride Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland.", but that is a stretch. The truth is, I'm not sure any of those characters even have names. 
By the way, the character on Small World got her cheek fixed.
