Annual Passholder Preview of the Little Mermaid attraction

Since this post will be up a day or two after the official opening, I was afraid you were going to be bored already with the Little Mermaid stuff all over the Internet. But...I decided to show you my day anyway!! I actually started at Disneyland, arriving at 9:00 a.m. but I'll show you those pictures another time. Right now, let's get to the Little Mermaid attraction, shall we?

There were two lines into DCA, I got into the shorter of the two.



They used the exits as an entrance and that's where I entered because that's how I roll.

A lone castmember is directing Annual Passholders over to Condor Flats.
I have never, EVER seen anyone in the train before!!


So we begin our trek...

This is for you sign geeks.

The line extended all the way to Redwood Creek Challenge...


I'm almost there!!!!!!



Wow...I mean really...WOW. The details are amazing. For starters, let's look at the floor!


That's right, there are sea shells embedded in the concrete.







I'm torn. Do I put up all of my pictures and make this a REALLY LONG post???
I'll play it by ear, I guess.


Lots of radio stations had set-ups so that they could broadcast live during the official opening of the attraction to the public.


Oh ya, they used the extended queue on the other side...and then some!!

Where are they sending us?

I like the landscaping...kinda looks like it's Under The Sea, lol.

They're sending us over there??


Thank goodness, now we're back in the shade.

I see Mickeys everywhere...



I hate to do this to you but you'll have to come back tomorrow for the rest of the story!

Great post. I really can't believe that they have really finished building this. I loved all your Mickeys. I'll be watching for more.

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...
