Disneyland 12-28-11 Part 2

If you followed along with us yesterday, you know that we are now making our way back to Disneyland. The entrance to DCA looked so pretty to me.


Just a moment later, glancing across towards Disneyland.


Oh yes, it was VERY crowded.


First stop - the Blue Ribbon Bakery. Oh decisions, decisions!


Yup, I got a Gingerbread Man.


While the "kids" went to stand in line for Star Tours, I planted myself at the Plaza Inn to enjoy my Gingerbread Man and Pumpkin Spice Latte. After devouring my goodies, I had to entertain myself...



So when did that "guard rail fence thing" go up???


La dee da....I'm getting bored...


Once the kiddos returned to fetch me, we walked by Santa's sleigh on our way to the Stage Door Cafe to grab a yummy corn dog.


I apologize for this lousy photo but while standing in line for Indiana Jones, I noticed just how much the plants have grown since this attraction opened.


I remember when you could clearly see the Temple of Doom. I actually like the overgrown look.


I was surprised to find that Indy has his very own trash can style!


If you missed my previous report on Disneyland trash cans, you can catch it here.

We had Fastpasses for the Haunted Mansion but still had some time to kill so I walked around the empty fountain area...


...while the kids took a churro break. And then the young'uns decided that they were tired! (So was I but I wasn't about to admit it!)


Two very tired but happy ladies taking a quick break on Main Street before walking back to our car.


But before we leave, I've gotta take a couple more pics!



It's been YEARS since I've spent the entire day (and night) at the Parks, LOL! And wouldn't you know it, I woke up sick the next day. Sheesh! By the time you are reading this, I will be on my merry way to...where else? My friends and I are staying at the Disneyland Hotel to ring in the New Year. Happy New Year everybody!

That guard railing went up on the PeopleMover track whent they installed the Rocekt Rods up there in 1998. I say, bring back the PeopleMover!

Happy New Year to you, Connie!

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

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...
