Fantasmic Glows Part 1

I'm sorry it has taken so long to get this post up but things just seem to pop up out of nowhere...like looking for a job, LOL.

The Fantasmic! Glow With The Show Premiere was held on August 28th but as you can see below, I had to register (in person) on Aug 14th. I was given the registration confirmation you see here.



My son and I had previously decided to go to Disneyland for the fireworks on August 28th because that would have been my Dad's 100th birthday. And if you know me, you know that my Dad is the person that instilled and encouraged my love of Disneyland so I thought that watching the fireworks would be a fitting tribute to him. The bonus was being able to participate in the Annual Passholder premiere after the Park closed to the general public! Happy Birthday, Daddy!!

We arrived at Disneyland around 6:00 p.m. and we were both starving so we decided to eat at the Hungry Bear because we love the setting. Naturally, as we passed Splash Mountain, I stopped to take a shot. Actually, I took several but none of them really pleased me so I picked one at random to share with you here.


I knew that the Hungry Bear had changed their menu so I was curious to see if they had anything interesting and I was not disappointed. Feast your eyes on this beauty:  Fried Green Tomatoes with a jicama relish. If you are the least bit adventurous,  you HAVE to try this. It was GREAT!!


My son had a bacon chili cheeseburger and while he said it was good, it wasn't great. He tasted my sandwich and his eyes lit up. What does that tell ya?


Taking in the scenery as we enjoy a leisurely dinner...



As you can tell by the next three shots, I really liked this view!




We've finished eating and now it's time to review the pamphlet we received when we got our wristbands.




Oh look! I caught the train as it was going by!


I'm giddy with anticipation!


We'll be back soon!

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...
