I did the CHOC Walk Part Seven

Thanks for sticking with me on this CHOC Walk Tour!
This will be the last post so get comfortable and enjoy the tour.


Walking into DCA we are greeted by ElecTRONical People!
I'm anxious to see the movie but I don't get these guys....guess I have to wait until the movie comes out.

Here is Flick and Princess Atta with a very happy guest!

Now this caught my eye...it's a switch/signal for the new cable cars! I don't know what it's really called but I do know it's a train thing, LOL! Guess where we go next? Backstage!

I am assuming that this construction stuff is related to Carlsland
because it is right next to....

THIS!  Can you make out what it is??? You can barely see through this covered fence at the Carsland construction. Talk about a teaser! We leave the backstage area and end up in Bug's Land...

Look closely...there are berries of some kind growing here.
Hmm, I hear an engine roaring...

It's Lightening McQueen and his groupie!

Mater has one, too!


Smile for the camera!

Ever wonder what the backside of Mater looks like?


Here we see Jack-Jack doing his thing!

Mr. and Mrs. Incredible pose with guests.
 



While Myrna is taking a pictures of the Incredibles....

I zoom over to the group of people that
are waaaay ahead of us on this walk.


LOOK! They've got the lights and fountains running!

Here's a short video I shot.
 

Next we get to meet Duffy, Mickey's bear.
 


We've left Duffy and are now in the Paradise Pier area.

Looking back at all the people behind us...

I'm so glad that the construction walls are decorated.





 Here we see Luke receiving his diploma from Goofy's Sky School.

 We keep walking, walking, walking and finally exit DCA and then walk up through Downtown Disney towards the finish line.

 I am very tempted to treat myself to some new artwork!

 After the walk, I drove to Knott's Berry Farm for breakfast! First I got to enjoy some biscuits and gravy. YUM!

Then Chicken Fried Steak, two eggs over easy and crispy hash browns.
Double YUM! No, I couldn't eat it all after gorging on biscuits, so I took it home for dinner, LOL!

It was a great day - lots of fun and I encourage all of you to do the walk next year if you can!













By golly, I just found out from one of my readers that the train crossing sign / contraption is called a WIGWAG. I love 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...
