Tom Sawyer's Island Part 6


I made it safely out of the cave! So what happens next?
We climb some stairs....


I wonder what's behind that door? Probably something Fantasmic related.


I go up a few more stairs and notice this cool water feature that
leads to the Mill.

 

Oh, there it is...the treehouse!


I like the way the water "originates" from the bottom of the tree.


Let's walk around the tree and get a good look...


Hmmm......


I guess that's where I need to go. Part of me wonders if I"ll fit!!


A quick look back before I enter the treehouse.


If you had been with me, you would have heard me say out loud: "Oh man, I hope those guys (meaning you) appreciate this!!" Before I proceed to climb these stairs....


I look down at the latter I just climbed up.


I took a deep breath and climbed into the treehouse. It took me a minute or so to adjust...but then I started admiring the place.


I love the peep holes in the eyes!








Oh great...I can't stay here forever so now I have to climb down...


Ugh...it's a long way down!


Did I make it down and out of the treehouse?
Stay tuned for tomorrow's adventure!

Today is the DCA's TENTH anniversary! Guess where I'm at???

Thanks for the treehouse pics. I haven't been up there since the redo of the island and didn't know that they had added stuff to it.

Now Major has me wondering.....are you at DCA for the 10th Anniversary today? I'm off today and was planning on heading over there just out of morbid curiosity (I'm getting a late start, I know). I just thought that maybe they're handing something out? Probably not, but like I said, MORBID curiosity. I will keep my eyes peeled just in case you are over there!

Connie, thank you for the wonderful walk-through of the treehouse. I remember it well from youth, it doesnt seem too much changed.

I was reading a book on mythology and symbols recently and was struck by this treehouse's resemblance to the mythical ash tree in Norse legend, Yggdrasil, the world tree with its roots in the netherworld and branches in the sky and the fountain of all the world's rivers springing from it's root.

I think the image is too perfect not to be a purposeful effort by the Disney designers. there are lots of other mythic references in the park as well.

thanks for letting me babble on...

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...

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...
