Wow! I love the beach shots Goofster

The water polo shots are pretty cool too.

I've never watched the sport either and had no idea how rough it is.


Thanks for sharing that with us

But if you look to the left of the menu you will see you can purchase Squid Bags and Mackerel Trays

I think they got my order of Fish and Chips confused with the Mackerel Tray

Yummy.

I came across some pictures I took back in May of this year, so I thought I would do a little mini pictorial report of Tomorrowland.

This is the Astro Orbiter that was moved out to the entrance of Tomorrowland during the last big refurbishment.

Here is some of the architecture that can be seen as you enter Tomorrowland

You can see the old People Mover/Rocket Rod track entering the building on the lower right

Here is the entrance to Star Tours

This is looking towards Innoventions

This is where the Astro Orbiter ( Rocket Ships) used to be, now this thing comes to life every 20 minutes or so spins around, plays futuristic music and….well that’s about it.

The arms with the DISH network satellite dishes rise up to the sky as if sending a message to outer space.

Here is where the fast passes for Buzz are located (to the left) and the exit from Buzz

Which takes you through the “Little Green Men Store Command”

Where you can purchase pins

Or any thing Buzz you could think of

This is the exit of the Buzz Light Year ride

All of these people are standing at the Kiosk that enables you to send a copy of your picture to an E-mail address

This usually takes longer to do then the ride itself, sorry to say it isn’t the Kiosks fault, it is usually Pilot Error.

Next up we continue the journey

 

[Goofster57]

Here is where you start your journey to ride Buzz

Once inside you receive your briefing from the Top Space Ranger himself

And load up in your Space Vehicles

Now I don’t have any shots of the inside of the ride because I am to competitive to ride the ride and not blast away at every thing.

Across from the “Little Green Men Store Command” is….another exit shop.

This is called Star Traders

Those are Neon Mickey’s that make it look like Mickey is tumbling through space when they are lit up at night.

This is a Star Wars section that is located at the exit of Star Tours

On the other end of Star Traders is where the Tomorrowland Arcade is located.

Outside of the Arcade is the exit for Space Mountain

Where you can buy your ride photo

Back outside and you can see the line for Space Mountain on the top of the theatre for Honey I Shrunk the Audience

This is the entrance to Space Mountain

This is a little plaza area located in front of Space Mountain, Honey and Innoventions.

Hang in there only a few more to go

 

[Goofster57]

This is the Innoventions building

A small shop across from Innoventions handles the merchandise for the Jedi Training Academy and back then the soon to open Nemo Submarine ride

Here is were they hold the Jedi Training Academy

We have seen the show a couple of times and it is very enjoyable to watch

In the back of the Jedi Academy is the Tomorrowland Terrace…now that is not what it is called today, but that is what I will always call it.

They serve your regular Disney fare of Hamburgers, Chicken and Salads.

Here is the Nemo ride before it’s Grand Opening, remember I took these back in May

You can see the Monorail station above the Nemo ride

Next to Nemo is the Autopia attraction

And Last but not least is a picture of the gang that put up with me and my picture taking that day.

Thanks guys

Hope you enjoyed this brief glimpse into Tomorrowland at Disneyland

 

[KathyRN137]

Yes! I did enjoy it; very much!! Thanks Keith!

It's so interesting... having never been to DL but only WDW... seeing the attractions one usually associates with other parks in the Magic Kingdom! A bit disorienting; (but you can disorient this Easterner with a trip to DL any time!)

Perhaps some day....

Hey, We have lots of really nice RV parks out here

Thanks for stopping by

 

[Disneyolic]

Totally cool looking at the Tomorrowland photos. Thank you. I remember getting a burger at the Tomorrowland Terrace and having to scrape everything off from it as I like my burgers plain. Then somewhere around Tomorrowland my cousins and I watched the Pina Colada song guy! Thrilling...

 

[Montana Disney Fan]

Disneyland is sooooo much better than MK.

Thanks Keith. Good pix!

Thats a new one on me, what exactly did he do...I mean besides sing

Disneyland is sooooo much better than MK.

I would have to agree on this point, I like MK too, but Disneyland is my favorite between the two, with Epcot still being my favorite Disney park

Hey it's late shouldn't you be on the links by now?

 

[Disneyolic]

Thats a new one on me, what exactly did he do...I mean besides sing

Uhm ... he played the piano, and he sang. And he played the piano. And he talked to the audience. That's about it. The only song I knew was the Pina Colada song. I wanted to keep riding the rides but I was outvoted 3 to 1. Oh well.

I do like pina coladas ...

Okay...Catching up over here!!

When you post pic by pic like that, it makes it seem like such a huge park.

I don't really know the size of DL but I do remember one of the bus drivers on our last trip to WDW saying that the parking lot at MK is bigger than DL.

Is that true?

I just find that hard to believe.

Anyways, thanks for sharing your tour with us Keith. I enjoyed the journey through your eyes....er lens

Now I'm heading over to finally check out the Sea World pictures

It is true all the parks at WDW dwarf Disneyland, it's said that Walt just didn't realize when he started in Anaheim how popular the park would be.
