Directly in font of the Italy Pavilion,Lady and Tramp are enjoying their dinner. What an all-American romance about a sweet cocker spaniel and a cynical stray! Do you know the name of the American city that inspired the setting?

At the American Adventure, check out good guys Buzz Lightyear and Woody as well as baddie Lotso.

This month’s April showers bring May flowers, but it also brings April Guitar Month.

I never thought much about the beauty and art in building a guitar until I read a Jonathan Kellerman psychological thriller which described supporting character Robin Castagna’s lutery skills in detail. Somehow up till then I just assumed that such musical instrument were assembly line productions. Silly me!

About then I began considering guitars, the tool of talented guitarists. Thinking back to the early years of R&R, showman Chuck Berry’s solos gliding across the stage, instrumentalist Duane Eddy’s rousing twangy sounds, and sessions guitar maestro Big Jim Sullivan’s varied and versatile performances happened because they as true musicians used the best vibrating string pieces available. They not trumpets, saxes, piano, and/or drums accompanied vocals more and more.

Success should be based on talent NOT theatrics like smashing instruments. What can be more useless than destroying anything truly special? No cacophony please! Case in point: Solid-body electric guitar inventor Les Paul did not need a dramatic persona. His innovative style plays on and continues to inspire.

Acoustic, classic, steel-string, arch top, electric, what makes a fine guitar is craftsmanship. Recently I found a custom double neck eagle bass on display. Paired to the right man (Leland Skylar) it made music to the ears.

In front of Japan’s Pavilion sit two Disney-Pixar Toy Story 3 Cars. FYI: Disney California Adventure Park is readying to open its Radiator Springs Cars Land June 15, 2012.

Long ago the Horn and Hardart automat’s glass windows dispensed food. Marketing strategy changed that. Maybe it is time to reconsider things. Restrooms and water fountains are open but little else for drivers traveling at night. Between supper and breakfast what isn’t locked up? It would be nice for items like cookies, candy, gum, snacks, toiletries, and OTC meds to be available for purchase after closing time at the free span buildings located in highway rest stops. As the world moves to self-serve, imagine vending machines stocked with today’s conveniences 24/7. Can you think of any other challenges to traveling at night?
