The Disney themed Easter Egg has changed.  Last week, it was yellow with a White Rabbit sticker on it.  Now the egg is the same as the one seen at Matterhorn meadows inside Disneyland

Disneyland Resort, Disney California Adventure, Book
I don't really like this title.  Without really looking inside it, when I see this title, I think it refers to the whole "the customer is always right" policy and that the employees should do whatever it takes to make customers happy.

Apparently the 2014 Egg-stravaganza Easter Egg Hunt at Disneyland sold out.
But they are willing to give out free printed copies of the map
But, there are no stickers to place on the map, and you can not redeem the map for a prize

They still have the redemption location in case anyone has a completed paid 2014 Egg-stravaganza map, they can still claim their prize

    1. I am glad you enjoy my pictorial blog and appreciate the kind words.
      As far as why many people don't comment, there could be a number of reasons. Maybe they don't know what to say, or have nothing to say at all. It's hard to say for sure.
      But as long as they keep coming back, and checking it out, that's what is important :)

  2. "Why not decorate your lawn this spring with the Queen of Heart's Pink Flamingos"

    I'm pretty sure that is supposed to be the yo-yo loving flamingo from "Fantasia 2000".

    1. Oh really?
      I never saw Fantasia 2000
      I just assumed it was from Alice in Wonderland since the Queen of Hearts uses the pink flamingos as her crochet mallet
