Innoventions at Disneyland

I have to be honest with you. Normally I avoid Innoventions. Saw it once, that was enough. However, on this day, I decided to take a second look since it seemed that hardly anyone was going inside.

I can't quite put my finger on why this place doesn't interest me but on this day, I took some time to walk around and actually noticed a few things that caught my eye.


I have to admit that I do like all the digital photo frames they have all over the place.



And this is kinda cool...


...as is this view...




What really surprised me was what I saw when I decided to sit for a spell and let the building revolve. I noticed some murals that had old attractions incorporated into them. For example, this one shows the House of the Future!


This one as the old clock that was at the entrance of Tomorrowland.


This one doesn't have anything old but it shows Space Mountain in the background.


This one has the old bandstand! I thought it was pretty cool that someone thought of including it.


This one had me perplexed because I couldn't figure out what they had "hidden" so to speak. Any ideas?


I think it's time to go back out side!

I haven't been to the park in a while, so I haven't seen Innoventions recently. I've always thought of it as the natural heir to House of Tomorrow and I'm pleased that they included some of the older sites in their murals. I guess the bottom line is that I need to get down to the park and see it again for myself. (Remember, the exits are on the upper level; there are no restrooms, you have to go over behind Space Mountain for that; and it's the only moving building in the park.)

Disneyland Trash Cans

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...
