Disney's New Galactic Starcruiser 2-Day Adventure - It's Brilliant (Bravo to the Creators)!!

All 5 human senses are absolutely engaged in this new Disney adventure (at Walt Disney World) that opened March 1st!  It is brilliant and ingeniously-executed!!!  While pricey, it LOOKS SO FUN-- ESPECIALLY if you're a Star Wars fan!!

I highly recommend viewing the video in the CNET article at the link below, because it shows what the adventure is like for a guest from beginning to end without giving away the story.  The other video below features representatives from Disney's Imagineers and LucasFilm talking about how it all came together.  For this post, though, my purpose is to cover how Disney is giving guests a full 5-sense experience (touch, sight, sound, smell and taste) over their two-day adventure.  

Touch:  Guests first connect with their in-room information center (that includes a 24/7 bot), and separately use a special phone app designed for the adventure to send and receive communications with onboard characters as they may help characters/solve puzzles/seek clues, etc., learn how to use a light saber, and may even pick apart mysterious-looking food at dinnertime.

Sight:  Guests take in their new surroundings on the Halcyon including facilities and pathways around the 'ship', watch on-screen video instructions, look for visual clues, watch character performances for information about the story, look at different-appearing food presentations that make guests wonder what they're eating, and watch what the vapor does that sits atop an other-worldly drink.

Sound:  Guests listen to alien musical entertainment, a smorgasbord of sound effects throughout the ship to complement the story as it progresses, characters sharing information with guests, character performances of the story that reveal information through the storytelling, and guests talking with fellow guests in order to get clues and/or work together.

Smell:  Guests can find out what blue food and inter-galactic make-up remover smell like, see whether they can get close enough to Chewie to see if his fur has a particular scent, and check-out whether the onboard garden smells different than the planet guests disembark the Halcyon to visit mid-adventure.

Taste:  Guests are tantalized by all the food and drinks provided while aboard ship.  Oh my, it's a different kind of smorgasbord....of colors, shapes and textures.  What a fun way to fuel up!

Visiting The Hague and Amsterdam (Netherlands), and Paris!

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

This basket was made in Jane Hall's half-day course at IQF 2014.  The greatest amount of time involved in making it--was cutting and sewing the strips together.  Otherwise, it went together easily and quickly (3 hours). These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.

Highjacked Blog Photo

My profile photo was highjacked ! For those of you who are blogging, be wary. There are some unscrupulous folks out there who may be using or about to use a photo(s) you've uploaded to an online photo-hosting site. At the time I created a blog, having a URL for a photo uploaded online was the only way to insert a photo in your profile or to create a custom header. There had been no problems for a long while. This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
