It's the little things...

People constantly ask me:
"Why do you go to Disneyland so much?"

"Because I love it."

"Don't you get tired of seeing the same thing over and over?"

*insert heavy sigh here*

They just don't get it. There is soooo much to see at Disneyland if you only take the time to LOOK.
A fellow blogger wrote a great post on this very subject here. That, in turn, inspired me to write this post and offer my little example of why I never get tired of going to Disneyland.
This little gem is quite a beauty.

Now, click on this photo so you can see the large version.
Go ahead, I'll wait....
la dee da...waiting...waiting....
Can you believe the detail???
Out of the THOUSANDS of guests that go to the Park every day, how many do you know that stop and look up? Not many, I can assure you. And yet, look at what they are missing!

The real question is: why does it bother people so much that we go to Disneyland often? We enjoy it, and if they're too dense to get it or don't want to give it a try, no problem....but let us enjoy it for the creativity and relief from everyday life that we get from it.

I'm with you. I notice something new EVERY time I visit Disneyland/Disney World. It's awesome!! Some people DO like the little things, and I for one am glad Disney has never "simplified" or dumbed down the park!

And Dave.. those other folks will never "get it". But that's alright. We'll just take their share of magic and enjoy it.

Disneyland Trash Cans

Image
Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted ...

Getting back into the swing of things...

Image
It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can...
