Thanks for the link Goof. I loved it. I suppose it's even more breathtaking in person!

It really is DM,

I think it's the best effect I have ever seen on the Castle.

I hope they do it again next year.

DM - I must tell you, I was very reserved on that mini trip and on my bestest behaviour

 

[blue_river]

Speaking of pickle books...we really should get back to that TR

I'll leave it up to you to find it buried in the CB ...

So Sorceress and I found ourselves wondering around the West Coast Happiest Place on Earth yesterday so I thought I would snap some pictures as we walked around.

Some of these items are the sometimes overlooked places at Disneyland; others are just things that caught my eye.

As we first entered the park we saw that they have added a new figure to the Mickey Floral garden that greets guest when they enter the park.

Once inside there is the Flagpole in Town Square

Here is a little trivia about the base of the Flagpole,
A car had knocked over a street light on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. Where Emile Kuri a Disney Imagineer, bought it for $5.00 and brought it the park to be used as the base of the Flag Pole

The inscription on the Plague at the bottom has Walt’s opening day speech on it.

"To all who come to this happy place... Welcome. Disneyland is your land.
Here age relives fond memories of the past... and here youth may savor
the challenge and promise of the future.
"Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts
that have created America... with the hope that it will be a source of joy and
inspiration to all the world."​

This guy has been standing here for as long as I can remember

At the end of Main Street between the Castle and the Hub you will find this plaque.

This is were they buried a “Time Castle”

The inscription reads;

Placed beneath this marker on July 17, 1995​

The Disneyland 40th Anniversary Time Castle​

A "Time Castle," containing Disneyland memories, messages and milestones, lies beneath this spot. The Disneyland Time Castle is dedicated to the children of the 21st century, who may unlock its contents on the 80th Anniversary of Disneyland: July 17, 2035.​

Now it was called a “Time Castle” because it was no ordinary Time Capsule

As we were walking through the Castle I spotted an errant Christmas Ornament floating in the Castle moat

Right inside the Castle gate you can see the Draw Bridge Raiser/Lowerer thingy

While walking through the Castle if you look closely you will find a gold color spike in the ground.

This marked the center of Disneyland when it opened, now I don’t believe this is true anymore with all of the expansions

Once through the castle you will find a drinking fountain on the left with a very special couple on top

To the right is a secret passage

to a special “Wishing Place”

And then we came upon proof that Buzz has been to Disneyland before

An often over looked area to walk through is King Triton’s Garden

The crowds for Nemo are still big on weekends

The park was a little busy

The line on the left was for the Matterhorn and the one on the right is still for Nemo. The wait for Nemo is still around 2 hours.

Ok that’s it for this post be back soon with more.

Omgosh - that's soooooo cool! I hope you will be there for that

You're funny.

I wonder how many people know all this stuff?

Puuurty

Thanks for the terrific update

I think this is one of the best ones yet because of all the little "overlooked" tidbits of information you shared!


Many thumbs up!!!

Hey, they spelled Dineyland wrong!

 

[Disneyolic]

Love the new photos Goof. I especially like the new Tinkerbell one!

I wonder how many people know all this stuff?

I knew about that gold stake. They have one in Disney World too ...
