Let's look at DCA

Warning! Long post!! *grin*

These shots were taken yesterday (4-2-11) because I felt like it, so there! I decided to walk to the Park from the parking structure and noticed some work going on
at the Disneyland Hotel.


Once inside DCA, I was envious of these people having a leisurely lunch in such a lovely setting. (Actually, I was wishing I was sitting there having some wine!)

Ooooh, final touches going on!


I have to say, it's pretty exciting to see all the changes that have taken place!

The new color scheme is gorgeous.

The painters were out in full force today. (Or should I say artists???)

Another look at King Triton...


Look at these details!

Now we see a glimpse of the new restaurant area...

From across the lagoon you get a nice look at the mountains in Carlsland.

Nothing new here - I just like this building.

Here's the other new restaurant...

...and we zoom in for a closer look.

People whizzing by...

The Mickey Wheel reflected in the water. (In case you're wondering.)

Not sure if these are going to change...I thought I heard they were.


I honestly haven't seen that many people in this area since the Annual Passholder Preview back in 2001!


And these last three shots were taken just because!



That's it, folks! Come back tomorrow as we take our final look at 2007.

Hmm, these make me kind of want to go to DCA! I sure hope the Little Mermaid ride lives up to my expectations.

Connie, these are great. I am looking forward to my next visit, sometime this fall. My wife is handling the details, but we get to stay at the Grand Californian, so we're just steps away from DCA, and DCA is just steps from the great bar in the GC, ha!

Thanks for the post!

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...
