Disneyland Train Stations Part 2

Tomorrowland Station!

It took a couple of trips (see what I do for you??) but I think I finally got enough shots to adequately cover the station for you. These first shots were taken as I approached the station...





Here's a little video of the sign.


Now I'm in line and waiting for the next train.


A close-up of one of the lamps.


Looking around the station...I had never noticed how retro modern the structure was.



Looking down at the gate...

Here comes the train!

Now I'm on the train.

I went back to the Park on a different day and got into the queue for Autopia to take these next few shots.




I had never noticed the "striping" effect...

Watching the train...



I'm on the train and looking at nothing but I'm in Tomorrowland, LOL!

Approaching the Tomorrowland Station...

View from the train...

Looking at the station again. (Yes, I rode around and around three times to get shots of all the stations!)

That's it for Tomorrowland. We're going counter clockwise so next time we visit the ToonTown Station.

Indeed. TL Station. What has to be the coldest spot in the park. Every time I am over here, I always have a shiver upon entering or leaving this station. Not sure why, doesn't matter the time of the day....just always cold over there.
Really good work, I am enjoying your tour of the 'stations' a lot.

I wish I was on that train right now! I'd never noticed the striped landscaping either.

Thufer, it's because TL station was built on an ancient Indian burial ground!

I am guessing that the station is the same original structure that has been there since the old days, now "improved" with the tacked-on (and tacky) pseudo steampunk decor. I realize that this is an amusement park, but don't they have any aesthetic sensibilities at all?

I hope you went to City Hall to review the Certificate of Compliance.

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

MLB Food Fest

The Food Fest was held at The Reef in Downtown LA. Each person got this bracelet with an RFID chip. That chip would keep track of the food offerings you selected inside and once you reached your limit, it would no longer work. A list of the beers being offered. The first thing I tried was Bhan Mi which consisted of slab bacon, asian slaw, sriracha mayo and a hot dog bun. Then I tired the Wisconsin Ultimate Cheese Fry which consisted of craft beer fries, cheddar cheese sauce, cheddar cheese curds, apple wood smoked bacon and minced chives. Next up were the Sisig Fries which consisted of sisig marinated chicken, Fresno chiles, fried yams, sriracha cilantro crema over fries. While I was in line for the Elote Nuggets, I took a short video so you could see the Food Fest. These were my favorite! Elote Nuggets consisting of corn nuggets, queso cotija, cayenne mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Fish and Chips from London! Batt
