BE's Never Ending TR -- That kind of ... Ended? Or did it?

[Belle Ella]

Must have. Sheesh. And this is from a girl who usually photographs anything and everything. It's not like I didn't have a camera in my stinking pocket at the time either ...

Well, that shows how much you enjoyed Sherry's company, it controlled your natural instincts.

 

[Belle Ella]

My two natural instincts are as follows: taking photos and talking! One is bound to trump the other now and again. And it was great to just chit chat with Sherry. She's just as awesome in person as she is here on the DIS.

So as a teaser for today, I just wanted to share this photo of my all-time favorite Peter Pan from my birthday trip back in 2009 and then todays!!

2009:



Today:

(and since he asked, he looked perfect -- as always)

OK, I have a problem with photobucket. I loose some of the color when I upload my images. Yucky yucky. Another reason I don't use it for actual Trip Report photos. That photo is supposed to be much more vibrant!!

It still is a good picture and you know you will play with it and make it perfect for you.

That I shall! That I shall!

Let's see, what else can I touch base on that I haven't already? Well, I got another Dooney & Bourke bag the other night (what an ordeal we went through to get that -- to be told at a later date). But I changed my mind on which one I wanted today so I'm taking it back tomorrow to get the one I really really want. A lot of the Christmas decorations were down today but the ones over the turnstyles were still up, as well as a few window displays, all of Critter Country, the Giant Christmas Tree, and the snow/lights on the castle. So I managed to get a few more holiday photos!! Yay me.

If anyone hasn't heard, they have also begun the deconstruction of the California letters. The way they have it blocked off makes entering/exiting DCA a peal pain in the you-know-where as there is really just one big long line to get in and two (if I remember correctly) gates for entry and another two on the other side to exit. But I only went over to DCA today to get new maps.

I saw pictures earlier that someone had posted and I wanted to cry. I changed my avatar on fb to the one with me at the letter in honor of the letters.

I think it must be kind of fun to be there one day with decorations and then none the next.

I love when you see the "same" character year after year......makes it that more special!!! Glad to see you're having an awesome time....but wouldn't expect anything else!!! Will be excited to see your pics!! So did you get some pics of the letters coming out? It's been all over FB today from the different Disney sites I follow.......sad, sad day!

So next question......how soon before you move to Anaheim?? You know.....someone had to ask!!

At least the rumor is that they will be re-used at some point, somewhere. But it still wont be the same. As for the decorations, I can't wait to see how much more (probably all of it) will be down tomorrow compared today.

It's even more special when that character is just ... spot on. And this guy really is. And it's a good thing he does the more 'meandering' thing and just being playful rather than photo line up kind of thing. It just works. I didn't get any photos of the letters. If anyone has managed it, they must be tall. I could barely, barely, barely see the tops of the letters over the boards and I just wasn't inspired to take a photo of the walls, lol.

In a perfect world, I would be living in SoCal and applying to Disneyland sometime within the year but who knows. really. But I want it to happen someday, really, really badly.

Wow great minds think alike.

I know what you mean the pictures I saw looked obviously doctored and someone posted them from another site. They have been basically removed.

"In a perfect world..."


You sound like a politician.

 

[JH87]

I have yet to meet Peter! He seems like a lot of fun from what i've read on people's TRs.
I'm curious as to how the entrance/exit to DCA works...did you get any photos? Where exactly do you enter and exit from? I'll be there Monday so I need to mentally prepare! So sad that it looks really looks like a construction zone now....maybe that means DCA will be empty and I can FINALLY ride TSMM!!!

Aw, I hope you get too. He's so much fun. If you really wanted to, just stop by City Hall and ask when he'll be around and they'll give you a time and general area. It's always fun to watch.

I'll try and get some photos tomorrow to help explain it, but if you stand looking at the DCA entrance, the letters are boarded up and near the center they'll have a roped area open to form the line that goes along the boards to the left where they had the gates open for entrance on the far left. The gates they had for the exit were on the far right. I hope that makes sense.

 

[JH87]

Makes sense I think! Thanks! You know, I've always known to ask City Hall about characters but just never had the chance. Usually its rush rush rush to beat the crowds but seeing as though this is off season hopefully the crowds will be low and I can ask.

 

[Belle Ella]

I'll still take photos today for sure, just so you can see!

I'm about to head out. Today my goal is to stop by Pixie Hollow, find Aurora, get bathroom sign photos thanks to Tina, and get the other Dooney that I want!

Oh, and pick Michele up a Duffy!!

He is the BEST! Love him.

I dream of that also!

[TheColtonsMom]

Have never met Peter would love to next time....why do I always forget to ask City Hall? Anyway you are doing some nice teasing from the land can't wait for the TR.

Isn't having an AP grand?

 

[Belle Ella]

Yay!!

OK, so here's the deal: I grabbed your Duffy today but looks like they've been sold out of the sailor outfit for a while. I can post pictures of what they did have if you'd like me to grab a different one for you.

I always forgot to do that as well. But when you have your heart set on seeing a character (as I can be with Peter Pan because he's the best) it's a great problem solver.

Isn't having an AP grand?

YES!!

OK, so I was really, really bad today. Give me a second to take photos and I'll tell you why.

Oh you don't need to get the outfit then. I will dress him at a later date.
