Down Da 66--Disneyland, Goin' Bowling, 66 Adventure

Some recent Route 66 stories.

1. DISNEYLAND-- getting a 1.1 billion dollar makeover. Part of that will be for a "Cars" movie theme area. Other popular Disney movies will also be spotlighted. The more for that "Cars" movie, the better. I never thought I'd like an animated movie, bit i sure liked this one.

2. ROUTE 66 BOWL-- Well, it's not one of the BCS bowls, but we'll take anything we can get. Came across an article in the Grants, New Mexico paper about the Grants Rams taking the Route 66 Bowl Lightweight title with a 12-0 win over the Navajo Times Warriors (I don't know about the pc here. After all, they took away our beloved Chief Illinewek at the U of I. Around Illinois, lightweight would indicate part of a local park district program. I'm not sure about out in New Mexico, but imagine its the same.

Also, there is a Route 66 Cross Country Invitational in Grants.

Always love to see our name in the news.

3. DISNEY'S CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PARK-- has part of its theme dealing with car travel and Route 66, including a car themed bathroom and a McDonald's disguised as a giant hamburger. Big Mac anybody. There is also a giant Route 66 mural.

I got this from a blog. http://customersrock.wordpress.com/
