Wandering through the Park Part Uno

The Major was supposed to be at Disneyland...I couldn’t find him anywhere. I looked in Frontierland for a guy wearing a cat skin hat…nothing.  I looked in Tomorrowland for a guy wearing a tinfoil hat…nothing. I even looked in ToonTown for a guy wearing a tinfoil hat shaped like a cat…nothing.  So I gave up and decided to go shooting instead. Photos folks, not guns. Although it’s been four score and seven years since I stopped at the shooting gallery….

On with the show....

 My attempt at an "artsy" shot of the clock upon arrival.

I love this poster!

Like I said before, it's the little things. This fellow is up above the door to the bathroom. I guess if you are in a hurry to go to the bathroom, you aren't gonna look up and admire the fancy light fixtures, right?

One of the doors I used to go in and out of when I was a castmember.


Nice close-up of Dick Nunis' window.

OK, where have I been? I don't believe I've ever noticed that this was a "hotel".

 As corny as this is going to sound, I felt like I really was in a small town...once I squinted my eyes and eliminated all the guests around me, ya, it worked.

 I don't know...something about these buildings really resonated with me today.

 Is it corny to say that I could almost feel Walt's spirit? Ya I know, I know, I've been watching too many ghost shows. Whatever...





As always, I love the signage at Disneyland.


Well folks, that's it for today. Stay tuned for Part Dos!

I rarely tire of shooting Main Street; so many details to capture there, as you pointed out. Looking forward to "dos."

Now I am famous! I'm just going to have to get used to adoring fans.

Great photos of some details I've never seen before!

Sorry for all the post comments all at once...I'm just catching up on your latest posts!

I was at the park last Thursday after work and looked for both you and the Major. Well, I only stopped by to ride Ghost Galaxy and after that I bought some candy on Main St. and then went home, but while I was there I was looking at people much more than I ususally do, thinking it would be cool if I ran into one of you!

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...
