A Test and Disneyland Visit

Confused? Don't be. On Tuesday, I took a test with a company in Orange County and I think it went quite well. Since I was out there and I didn't really feel like sitting on the 91 freeway for 2 hours, I decided to go to Disneyland.

I loved seeing the pumpkin characters above the turnstiles!


The City Hall area is apparently being renovated.


As I was walking by, I saw that the horse had been disconnected from the trolley!


The colors of Halloween!


By this time it was 4:20 in the afternoon and I was STARVING. I went to the Carnation Cafe and ordered a fantastic cheeseburger with fries. Oh it was good.


You can see that I had practically the whole place to myself!



After that GREAT burger, I walked to Frontierland and stopped to check out the cool Halloween stuff. Here you see a Leota snow globe. It is really cool and has a battery operated light which I turned on for the photo. At $24.95 it was a bit too steep for this unemployed Disney Freak so I had to be content with a photo.


Now THIS got me drooling! I love candles of all types as well as candle holders and this tea light holder is awesome!! I think this was $19.95 but don't quote me on it because I am not sure, LOL.


Check out this antenna topper! Yes, I bought one.


OK, after all of that drooling, I left the store and walked towards New Orleans Square. When you walk along the Rivers of America, you have to take pictures, right?



Now it's time for Haunted Mansion Holiday!




While waiting in line, I noticed these ADORABLE hats! Too cute!


A few shots taken inside...









That was FUN!

Next I hopped on the train so I could get to Main Street and then go to DCA. I love the way this photo came out because the center is clearly focused the the edges show the movement as the train went along the river.


As I said, I made my way to DCA for dessert...but you'll have to come back for that report!

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...

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...
