Life is a Journey

That is no secret! Practically every Disneyland fan knows this fact but not everyone knows that there are several Disney/train related tidbits out there for everyone to enjoy if you just look in the right place. After The BoneThumpers finished playing their second set, I took off once again to explore the museum. I noticed two train cars sitting all by themselves in the distance so I went over to investigate. I almost didn't go in because I'm not really a train buff - I think old trains are cool but that's as far as it goes. However, something told me to go inside and brave the heat and I'm glad I did.   As I am scanning hundreds of items, I looked UP and my eye caught this. Initially, I was drawn in by the obviously old graphic and then... ...I noticed the label at the bottom... This had once belonged to Ward Kimball! It took several attempts to get the above shot - I kept losing my balance because this was waaay up pract...

My favorite place on Earth turns 57 today.  Yay!! OK, we are continuing our tour of the D23 Disney exhibit, right? Right!  I thought this Mickey was adorable ...and then... ...and then I realized that it was the Mickey in this famous photo of Walt!! Of course, no Disney exhibit would be complete without Walt's office. This was the first time that I could take my time and examine every detail... The books in his office interested me greatly. Walt got the first employee badge and rightly so! My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw this Mary Poppins costume! This is for you sub buffs! Would you believe I've never seen Flubber? Either one! Now this made me smile...costumes from Babes in Toyland. What will we see next time????

Oh heck I have no idea what this is but I'm sure you guys will have fun trying to figure it out, LOL!! I adore this photo of Walt. At first I thought I was looking at Walt's office but it seems to be an animator's office. Funny, I didn't think the animators got individual offices. I loved that they left the closet open just slightly... And then, there are the books... I hate to leave you hanging (do I?) but you'll have to come back for more!
