This time last year, it was still Dino-Rama. In 2027, it will be the Madrigals' Casita. For now, it's a massive construction site.

If I lived closer I’d buy a dozen, lacquer them, attach a ribbon, and use them as Christmas ornaments.
The Santa-Carno is great reference to the early days of Dino-Rama.

I feel like I’m going to throw up about Dino-Rama and Dinoland as a whole. I don’t know what else to do with myself.

The fact that I started the day receiving an email notice that Disney couldn't find my newly won plushie and wouldn't keep looking just seems terribly appropriate for the rest of the day.

Played some of the carnival games at Dino-Rama for the first time in years, and I was quickly reminded why I never play those games. I'm bad at them, so I just lose money.
