Disneyland Train Stations Part 2

Tomorrowland Station!

It took a couple of trips (see what I do for you??) but I think I finally got enough shots to adequately cover the station for you. These first shots were taken as I approached the station...





Here's a little video of the sign.


Now I'm in line and waiting for the next train.


A close-up of one of the lamps.


Looking around the station...I had never noticed how retro modern the structure was.



Looking down at the gate...

Here comes the train!

Now I'm on the train.

I went back to the Park on a different day and got into the queue for Autopia to take these next few shots.




I had never noticed the "striping" effect...

Watching the train...



I'm on the train and looking at nothing but I'm in Tomorrowland, LOL!

Approaching the Tomorrowland Station...

View from the train...

Looking at the station again. (Yes, I rode around and around three times to get shots of all the stations!)

That's it for Tomorrowland. We're going counter clockwise so next time we visit the ToonTown Station.

Indeed. TL Station. What has to be the coldest spot in the park. Every time I am over here, I always have a shiver upon entering or leaving this station. Not sure why, doesn't matter the time of the day....just always cold over there.
Really good work, I am enjoying your tour of the 'stations' a lot.

I wish I was on that train right now! I'd never noticed the striped landscaping either.

Thufer, it's because TL station was built on an ancient Indian burial ground!

I am guessing that the station is the same original structure that has been there since the old days, now "improved" with the tacked-on (and tacky) pseudo steampunk decor. I realize that this is an amusement park, but don't they have any aesthetic sensibilities at all?

I hope you went to City Hall to review the Certificate of Compliance.

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

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
