SoundSational Annual Passholder Event

Before we begin, I want to give a big, big, BIG Thank You to Disneyland for this special event. It was so cool, so much fun and very much appreciated!!

I'm at the ticket booth and I've checked in but the castmember had to step away for a moment...



As I walk up to the entrance, I just had to take a little video, LOL.



Here are my goodies:  Show schedule and photo claim number. Which reminds me, I have to go get my photos!


I started my evening by getting a Pumpkin Spice Mocha and Matterhorn Macaroon. Sooooooooooo good!





Love that Mickey bat cookie.





So now I'm sitting in the Carnation Cafe area, enjoying my goodies and watching the regular guests leave the Park in droves. Ah...so relaxing!


It didn't take me long to devour this puppy!


Next, I took a seat on a bench near the hub to wait for the parade and snapped a couple of pics.




Then I got a text message from Myrna - she is the other photographer for The Disneyland Gazette - so I left the hub area to join Myrna and her friends by Pixie Hollow. We had a great viewing spot for the parade!


After the parade...


So after I followed the parade a bit, I ducked into Coke Corner to see if I had missed any new artwork the last time I was there and I did. So here they are for your enjoyment.




Unfortunately, the stores on Main Street were closed. Strange, isn't it???




What? We can't spend money??? Well phooey then...let's go to Tomorrowland.


Either they anticipated a LONG line for Star Tours or these were left from earlier in the day.



I love this new antenna ball that looks like a Mickey head ice cream on a stick!


For all you Michael Jackson fans, now you can purchase a hat and glove. It will look great when you do all of your dance moves in the breakroom at work. Trust me on this.


Cool shirt, no?


Even cooler Halloween stuff!


Some new mouse ear hats I had not noticed before...


What's next? Ghost Galaxy!! Woohoo!


I know it's hard to see but it said the wait time was only 15 minutes. Guess what? It was 10!


hee hee hee....


Time to go back to Main Street and check out the floats. Silly me, I thought they were going to have ALL of the floats out but no, only a select few. The lines were long to have your photo taken in front of the float so I decided to focus on a few details instead.


Look at that face!



The Mary Poppins float has the adorable penguins that I love.



For some reason, I took Aladdin's float with my phone.


And then I noticed the cool coffins in the window to my right...


Let's get back to the penguins, shall we?


Can you guess what this is? A pinata!


I decided to stand in line for this one...


...and here I am looking like a dufus.


Here's something you never see: City Hall is empty.


By this time it was 11:30 pm and I was cold and tired so I left and made my way to the tram...but not before taking one more picture!


Oh wait, when I got off the tram I took one more picture!



Hope you guys enjoyed this!

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

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
