You're so fricken lucky to live that close

I know

I wonder how many people know all this stuff?

Just the ones that don't have a life

Hey, they spelled Dineyland wrong!

I noticed that too.

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

I didn't know that

On with the tour,

Over in front of the Matterhorn are the old boat docks for the Motor Boat Cruise that is long gone

This is a really nice place to take a rest maybe let a little one get in a nap or feed some ducks and just watch the crowds go by

The Mad Tea Party seems to be under refurbishment

Or this is the newest hide out for Britney

She may have been visiting the White Rabbits house

When headed through Fantasyland remember to look up, here is a weather vain on top of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride

Here is some themein on the back side of Big Thunder Mountain

As you walk down Big Thunder Trail there is a nice little lake on the west side of the trail

The mine shaft is part of the old Mine Ride

And if you are patient and look real close you can see fish jumping in the calm waters

Ok, Actually they are “Fish on a Stick” they always jump in the same exact place, it is fun to watch the tourist get all excited about seeing “Live” fish at Disneyland

Frontierland Themed Trash cans

“Happy 31st Anniversary Honey”

Walt gave this to his wife Lillian for their 31st Wedding Anniversary and the story goes it was to big for the Disney Home Mantel, so Lillian gave it to Disneyland.

Some themeing above the newly re-opened River Belle restaurant

Now those would be some great seats for Fantasmic

Here is a small “Guided Tour” group over near the Haunted Mansion in New Orleans Square

There is a frequently missed fountain near the Mansion

New Orleans Square themed Trash cans

This anchor can be found down near the water front of the Rivers of America

This is the Sea Wall that runs along the river in New Orleans Square

It looks like one of the local river traffic barges lost a keg of rum

I just love all the small details at Disneyland. It is a beautiful park.

It's nice to slow down a bit and look at the details of DIsneyland

 

[Goofster57]

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

It has been brought to my attention by Sorceress that in fact she is the one that spotted the errant ornament in the above picture and pointed it out to me.

So this serves as an "Official Public Apology" to Sorceress for not acknowledging her expert observation skills in the original posting on this subject.....





Ok, Honey. . can I come back in the house now?

 

[Goofster57]

At the base of the Tarzan’s Tree you will find a nice little babbling brook

I would love to have a room above the Bazar located in Adventureland

Then I could just go next door to get a Tattoo while getting Banjo lessons

Next to Aladdin’s Oasis near the exit of the Jungle Cruise you can find this nice little sitting area to rest your tired bones

I was walking by and thought I saw one of my In-Laws

But I was mistaken

As you enter Frontierland you will come across this plaque and flagpole

Here are some shots of the entrance area to Frontierland

Notice the open door

This is a storage room for Fantasmic Crowd control items

We decided that we needed a little Mickey snack so we headed to the local Pretzel cart

And the question of the day is;

“How many Cast Members does it take to sell Pretzels?”

Apparently “FOUR”

Another nice place to rest and enjoy the day is at the patio of “Refreshment Corner” on Main Street. This is where we decided to sit and enjoy our Mickey Pretzels.

Should be able to finish off in the next post.

Wow I love seeing all the sun in your pictures. Helps to warm me up on a -1C (or for you guys 30 F)

The pretzels are good.

How do you eat them?

I always start with the ears

Yeah, I'll remind you of that when we have the terrible heat waves of 65 or 66 degrees next month

Thanks for reading,

Just remember what Sorcerers says.....

"Stop Reading and Posting it just encourages him"

So after our Mickey Pretzel with Mustard for those of you that were wondering, we headed on down Main Street USA.

Now the one thing that I always try to remember when in a Disney park is to stop and look up, if you don’t you will miss some interesting things and this trip was no exception.

We entered the Watch Shop/Emporium and while Sorceress was trying to find something to buy

I stepped into Plush Alley and looked up. I have had an Annual Pass for the last 22 years and I have never noticed these signs before

Or the stunning chandlers

Here are the themed Trash Cans out on the Esplanade…sorry big flat cement thingy

For you Foundry Factory Fans

The lines to purchase ticket media were pretty busy this day

And as a parting shot the Monorail as it crosses over Downtown Disney with the new “Dreams” paint job

OK that’s it for now,

What about swimming during the day? Remember, we're from Montana. But will it be open?

Panting?

Thanks for "dumbing" it down for Buzz.

Are those "talking" trash cans? LG loves the one in Tomorrowland. She actually knows what time it comes out.

This all reminds me of my Trash Can story:

Years back, in high school, some buddies and I drove up to Bozeman, MT for a big College Football game (UM Griz vs. MSU Bobcats). Anyway, we basically guzzled beer all the way, all through the game, then on into the night. Have you heard of the famous Rockin' R Bar? Well, we ended up there.

Soon, we were out on the streets of downtown Bozeman with about 20,000 others from the two colleges after the game. As you can imagine, Griz and Bobcats don't mix too well.

To make a long story short, I probably shouldn't have been wearing my Griz (Missoula) sweatshirt in town (Bozeman) after midnight.

Four Seniors in college grabbed me, ripped off my shirt, and urinated on it. Then they grabbed me and tossed my boney **** in a dumpster and shut the lid. They threatened to hurt me bad if I came out so I stayed in there till the next morning.

I actually got a pretty good night's sleep.

If you're wondering what happened to my friends, well, they did the honorable thing and ran like Forrest Gump in the other direction once the brutes grabbed me and started slapping me around.

Since then, I'm off garbage cans.
