I could get used to this. I do the chapter, Ponzi breaksdown and Lady H does the callback. Of course the TR is getting close to the end now. Better late than never?
Very good Ponzi. You get a gold star!
Only when we don't behave.They use cattle prods on bunnies?
What color would that be exactly?Color me impressed.
I love it! And actually, the first thing i thought of when I saw that was the carousel scene in Mary Poppins, right before her big win at the horse races. For some reason that just made me think of that.
When I was a little girl, my mom would play a game with me called "go find Heather." and I would search everywhere to find her and eventually find her in the mirror or mom would find me, and we would laugh. I think this was her way of keeping me occupied while she actually did some house cleaning or resting. Well one day, I couldn't find Heather. I looked everywhere and finally stopped in the middle of the room and cried. When mom came to ask what was wrong, my reply was..."I'm lost!"
Do we have to call you that in public?I'll take Emperor then... or perhaps "Supreme Ruler and Overlord".
Poor Ponzi...But all you had to do was scroll...just sayin'Nah, I like a challenge. I jumped.
Hurt myself a little, though.
During every announcement of the princesses, the lights get dimmed and start to twinkle and all the "princesses" in the room are asked to wave their wands (you get them when you sit down at your table). And then you have to say the magic word "Bibbity Bobbity Boo" and they announce the new princess.
From this day, I showed you a picture. Ok I showed you several pictures. Im going to post one of them again in this chapter. This particular picture is of the Disneyland Opera House.
Its to your right as youre walking in, your left as youre walking out; or you can pick if its to your left or right if youre dyslexic.
Now that I think about it, may not be such a bad thing. I can make a pit stop in Vegas. I'll have a hefty fee though, for returning the car to a different location.
We havent been in here yet, and since it wasnt that busy, we decided to go in. Ive been without my ID this long, surely I can wait a little bit longer.
Lady H and I found all these to be fascinating. Its as if youre right there with Walt as hes dreaming of this magical place.
How would you have liked to go to DL back when it first opened for only 10 cents?
If you look at the ticket in the front right hand corner, it says "EXCHANGE FOR ONE 10 CENTS ADMISSION." (I had to spell out cents, because there is no sense symbol on the keyboard, You would think it would make cents to add it.)
Of course it wouldve been a little more than that. Back then you had to trade your ticket for a choice of the following:
Main Street
Tomorrowland
Fantasyland
You didnt pay one price like you do today, to see the whole park.
I dont even think you can buy a thought for 10 cents now a days. Instead of a penny for your thoughts, inflation has raised them to at least a quarter.
Ok. Out of curiosity, is there anyone on these boards that visited DL when it first opened?
Anyone visit within the first year it opened?
Anyone remember when it first opened (not necessarily visiting)?
It would be interesting to hear your thought about DL at the time.
For a brief moment, I had forgotten that Walt lived at DL. How cool would it have been to live in the happiest place on earth? I wonder what I have to do for a chance to stay in the Dream Suite the Imagineers have created. I can only dream of staying in that suite. If I wish upon a star, I hope my dreams come true.
Does anybody remember why we came in here the first place? Oh yeah. We wanted to watch the Voices of Liberty and Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. We got so enthralled with the history of DL, that we never did see either one of those.
I hope you find this just as interesting as we did.
The darn maintenance people must have come in and turned off the a/c. I turn it back on and look at the last place I left my ID. My heart dropped and I couldve cried.
Were done with DL for the moment. Well have to eventually go back for the shot glasses, but I can still hear the call of California Screamin, which Lady H will take you through.
I think.
I give her about 30 minutes to do what she has to do before I scooch her over.
All I have is a take me out and shoot me now smartphone.
Ok ladies, no need to get hostile. I dont really scooch her off the computer.
Have a great weekend all.
Lady H,
Totally off topic here but my son came home from an anime convention the other night and this one of the pins he bought and was proudly wearing:
I immediately thought of you! Had to share. I'm slowly getting caught up on all my subscribed threads after my DIS absence but every time I think I've caught up I find everyone has posted again. Still loving your TR!
Oh boy! I haven't gotten one of those since the 4th grade.
so... it's been a while.
So.... often then.
Puce. With a hint of ochre.
Good. 'Cause I thought the same thing.
Love it!
Yes. Of course.
In private too.
I've told you... I don't scroll, I sashay.
stroll
They definitely did not do that. I just remember having breakfast and every now and then a Princess (or Mary Poppins) would show up at your table and bother us while we were trying to eat. Well the DDs didn't seem to mind, so I guess it's okay.
If you turn around to see where you came in as you entered, it's to your left and if you turn around for one last look at the castle before you leave it's to your right. If you're Nebo and you've had a few too many Sunny Ds, it's somewhere over your head as you lay prone on the pavement. After you leave Disney and fly back to your homes, it's below you.
Who cares about the fee? Your winnings will take care of that.
Man, I just could not do that. If Ruby suggested a pit stop on the way out, I'd be, "Okay, See ya! Bye!"
That is just about the coolest thing ever. Man that is History right there! Imagine him sitting there, watching his girls on the Merry-Go-Round and idly dreaming about how he could do something like that himself. It just boggles the mind, doesn't it?
I presume it's roped off, but even if it wasn't, I don't know if I could sit on it. It would seem almost... I dunno sacrilegious
It's all pretty cool. And I can't wait to show the DDs Neuschwanstein castle and now I have an extra bit of trivia for them.
Nope. Looked up in Wiki. Apparently they referred to that day as Black Sunday. Not an all round great day apparently.
¢ signor.
So they must've had ticket booths or ticket takers at the entrance to the lands. Can you say 'bottleneck'?
Nah. My thoughts are still worth only a penny. Actually, they're pretty much worthless, really.
Nope. Before my time.
But....
I do remember watching "The Wonderful World of Disney" (on a black and white TV with rabbit ears antenna) and watching an episode where they were showing what Disneyworld was going to be like. It was either just before it opened or just after. That got me (and my DSis) all excited about going to see it. We finally did about 6 years later, not too long before EPCOT opened up, so there was just the one park.
Back then you could refer to MK as Disneyworld.... and you'd be right!
Space Mountain?
No, wait! EE?
jk. I know it's POC.
:
I've wondered if it would be a good thing or not. How great to be the last person in the park... and the first person too! But.... I don't really want to see Main Street with workers all over it replacing bulbs, etc. Takes away some of the magic for me.
Usually when people describe "heart dropped" it means a bad thing has happened. Then you add in you could've cried. Plus you mention someone was in your room.....
But glad to hear (minus the disappointment of Vegas) that you found it.
I foresee hearing the lament of the "dumb wife".
Noticed how you only apologized to the "ladies" there.
You knew that all the guys are going, "Yeah! All right, man. You show her! You the MAN!!" All while puffing out our chests and strutting self-importantly to and fro.... until our DWs tell us to settle down, get the dishes done and get off the computer 'cause they want to use it....
yes dear.
Will Thumper Man jump in the car and head out?
Will Lady H ride California Screamin by herself?
Maybe they are staying at Hotel California, and they can never leave!
Stay tuned!

Couldn't have been that long. That silhouette of yours didn't look older than 35...
I'm sure T-Man or Ruby for that matter wouldn't be too keen for me calling you anything, especially, Supreme Ruler and Overlord in private...But i'll call you anything in public.
Right? I can only imagine what the lines were like there. Of course, I don't think back then it was like it is now either. The rides, the crowds, a lot has changed over the decades.
Apparently Mr. Pkondz is questioning over on another TR that there is apparently this castle worth $5,000.
Apparently I need to set the record straight here. It is actually worth $6,800. I was apparently a tad bit off, so now we know the exact price.
Here's the link to buy it:
You can see for yourself that I'm apparently telling the truth now.
Since I am making clarifications on the prices of the castles, I need to clarify that I was WAY OFF on the price for the larger castle displayed in the window. I stated earlier I thought it was about $10,000. It is actually $37,500.
There's only 50 of these available, so you better buy yours now while you can.
It's quiet.... too quiet.....
