Spring is in the air, or at least it is here. Regardless of where you may have been before, you'll hear the the sound of jaunty music playing ahead of you as you step into the sun.

Welcome...to the happiest place on Earth.

Everywhere around you seems to brighten and reach out to you, the sight of large, colorful structures and flashing lights, the sound of playful music and people laughing, the scent of delicious sweet and savory treats and the sudden weight in your pocket of a cell phone. Opening it, you'll find a special message:

To all who come to this happy place: welcome. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future.

Be sure to @ mmc to connect with others as you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.

You will find what appears to be a forum available to you filled with names you may or may not recognize. Try putting a message out there and seeing who responds!

For those of you who are more hands on, the world is your oyster and the park is your playground. The lines to wait for the rides are fairly short, and all around you there's plenty of shops and kiosks for food, drinks, and souvenears. Didn't bring any money? That's alright. It seems that everything is free for today and today only! (And yes, that includes the alcohol at various establishments.)

Unlike the Christmas party some of you may have attended last winter, it seems there isn't any sort of pranking or tomfoolery happening in the park today. There are several lands to explore, along with several other parks and attractions attached. You may not have to kiss someone in order to leave...

...but it does seem as though the gates are locked for the next several hours. On occasion, you may feel a pair of ghostly hands push you forward toward that ride you're hesitating to board or tempting you with a sugary-sweet churro. You may find that taking a loop on It's a Small World will leave the song stuck in your head for several hours while riding something like Space Mountain will leave you feeling more bold than usual. Perhaps a little bit of faith, trust and pixie dust will set you free? Oh well. All you can do now is relax, have fun, and wait for the fireworks spectacular to signal the end of the evening.

[ returning the kiss with a longer one before finally letting him go. ]

Was thinking about testing it out, but I can save it for when we're ready to go inside.

[ he is reaching over to cup kazu's cheek to give him another kiss. ]

[dms]

[ yay smooch ]

Okay~! So how about we try one of those pics where we both jump instead?!

[brotograph]

[ he'd smooch him again, but they are running out of time. ]

That could be cool. [ snagging his hand to hold ] Ready?

[dms]

Born ready! [ gives his hand a squeeze! ] Let's jump on three!

One... two...

[ he jumps!! ]

[brotograph]

[ he returns the squeeze ] Roger roger!

One...two... [ and they jump! ] Three! [ there's a snap. and then they land. ] Alright! Let's see what we got. [ he's going to pull kazu in for a quick kiss first ]

[dms]

Hehe, if you keep that up, the mouse is going to get mad at us!

[ it's not a complaint, though! he'll just lead them back to the camera. ]

Okay~! Show me, show me!

[brotograph]

He's not even looking this way.

[ the mouse can't tell them no canoodling. back to the camera! he's going to pick it up and scroll through it. ]

These look pretty good! [ he'll show him! ]

[dms]

[ that's not the point but kazu doesn't particularly care anyway ]

As if we'd ever take anything less than the best pics! So, what's next?

[brotograph]

Loving the way your ears look on you. Want to go stand next to the mouse?

[dms]

They suit me, right? They've even got my flower! Way cute!

[ he goes to stand by mickey and shoots the fingerguns! ]

[brotograph]

They do! You're keeping it, right?

[ he should! time to snap a picture ]

Great! Any you want to try while we're here?

[dms]

Absolutely~! It's a great souvenir! Though I should probs find something for the rest of Summer while I'm here...

[ that's a later problem. ]

Hmm... Think we could get away with adding a hidden Mickey somewhere around here?

[brotograph]

Maybe once we're done with rides? [ less to cart around ]

A hidden Mickey? Are we supposed to hide a mouse some where?

[dms]

Yeah, it's for later, no worries.

Haha, you're supposed to find the hidden Mickeys! They're like... [ he takes off the mouse ears to trace the shape. ] This shape, basically, but it'll be really subtle! Like, maybe in the flowers there are just three yellow ones making the shape while all the rest are white, or the bricks on the boardwalk change to it for just one step. They're hidden everywhere in places like this!

[brotograph]

Oh whoa! Never knew there was something like that. Is there something like that in your world? [ they should add finding hidden things to the list if so ]

Want to see if we can spot any while we head over to the ride?

[ as for adding their own... ]

Did you have something in mind for adding one?

[dms]

Only in theme parks like this one! At least, that's all I know about. We should def look for any while we're here, though!

Maybe we can use some balloons for ours!

[brotograph]

We should take a pic of each one we find.

[ if he doesn't get too distracted with boyfriend that is ]

There were some cute ones up ahead by the shops. We could get some red ones.

[dms]

We should! It's something to be proud of! Bragging rights!

Ohhh, I like red. Let's do it!

[brotograph]

It's not a bad thing to have more things to brag about.

[ besides boyfriend ]

We could do flowers, too. [ time to walk on down main street to find some balloons ] The shops are pretty cute here. They really went through above and beyond to make them look the part, huh?

[dms]

Especially when it's with you.

[ winks~ ]

Either way works for me! Though, I don't know if they'll have hibiscus. [ his motif ): ] Hehe, they have to! What's the point of a theme park if the shops don't match, you know? It's all about the immersion, baby!

[brotograph]

[ this time he's going to smile. still getting used to the whole having someone who wants to brag about him, but he's not pointing it out ]

Love you, too.

We'll just have to keep an eye out either way. [ swinging their hands! ] They will probably be our best bet for hidden Mickeys, too. Maybe in the windows or on the outside.

[dms]

Ohh, we could put them in the flower arrangements on the window! I love the way you think, Prompom!

[brotograph]

You usually do. [ giving a wink. ] Think we'll have to test out our stealth skills?

[dms]

We could always go for the distraction technique, if it comes to that. I am pretty good at getting someone's attention.

[brotograph]

Maybe a bit too good. [ at least he's very good at getting his attention. bringing their hands up to press a kiss against his ] I'll leave the distraction to you, then.
