CHOC Walk at Disneyland 2011

I did it! Out of shape, recovering from a bad cold/sinus infection, still coughing but I did it. Whew!! So let's get started, shall we?  Below you see my arrival at the Mickey and Friends parking structure.


And now, I'm heading down to the tram area.






I have entered the Park!




Look at all those people! (In the window, folks.)



I was heading towards the castle and these folks are on their way out of Disneyland.


Making our way across the wooden bridge towards Frontierland...





We walked up and around Big Thunder Ranch and into Fantasyland. That's where I found these two!



When I got to the Teacups, I was surprised to see they were running. Empty, of course, but running.


See?


A few steps down and there's Tiana!



Oh to have the Park this empty all to myself!


There's a slow down up ahead and I don't know why.


We're making our way towards Tomorrowland...


Lookie here...I think this is the extended queue for Star Tours.



We've left Tomorrowland and are heading back to Main Street.


Heading up Main Street towards the train station...


Several castmembers were out to cheer us on, including Oscar!




Guests are already lining up waiting for Disneyland to open!


And now, we walk to DCA!


Looking ahead, I see we are going to enter the backstage area.


These next few photos aren't very exciting but I knew you'd want to see the backstage area...right?



This is one of the castmember break areas.


Look! I caught the Monorail going overhead!




A high school band was on hand to motivate us...





Boy, this was a long post, wasn't it? I'm tired....my brain hurts. I don't want to write any more. There still more but we shall continue this tomorrow.

Again - sorry we couldn't walk together! It was your blog that got me to do it in the first place. Will have to try again next year!

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...
