Great new pics of the "boys" !!

Gosh, I don't remember the make-up being that feminine! At the time it seemed so "cool" but looking back they looked like women way more than I thought they did!



Thanks for sharing! I can't get enough of that stuff

I'm still around Sherry! I have a confession to make though..... I don't remember the band. GASP! Where they BIG everywhere or mainly a big hit in California? Gosh, there were and still are so many groups it ain't hard to miss a few.

My DS is 18 now and I get a real kick out of him because he listens to the same music I did back when. He says the modern stuff is no good.

You have inspired me to want to go dig up some old photos but trying to find mine would be more like tunneling to find them! I really need to work on my organization around here!

Hi, Marie! Yep, the band (Poison) was really big in the '80s and early '90s, but, strangely, they have stayed active and touring since then. So they never fell off the radar completely. They are one of the bands from that 'hair band period' of the '80s (which is also where Guns n Roses emerged from) that managed to have some longevity. I stopped getting their CDs a long time ago, even though I used to know them. But the singer of Poison, Bret Michaels, who is in the previous pictures I posted, has had a second wind in his 'career', by doing three seasons of this trashy dating show on VH1 called "Rock of Love." Season 3 is running now. So he has been in the spotlight a lot in the last two years because of that. And for a while, back in the mid-'90s, he was dating Pamela Anderson...who is a bit notorious herself! So Bret has managed to stay in the public eye.

Anyway...back to Disneyland. About that picture from Mickey's Barn above, where we are posing with him and he is in his bandleader costume....I have not been into Mickey's house to meet Mickey in a long time, but each time I have been there I think he was wearing a different outfit. Does he change his outfits over the years, like for a while he is in his 'bandleader phase' and then his 'tuxedo phase' or could you literally visit Mickey two days in a row and see him wearing a different costume each day?

PhotoPass CD arrives today! Although, still, just kind of looking at the colors in my older DLR pictures, I still think some of the older ones are more interesting than the PP ones! I mean, how often do you see Mickey and Minnie together in New Orleans Square these days?

Yes, Marie, dig up the old pictures - of DLR and everything else. If you don't already have the old, old ones on CD or online or in some format where they are backed up, then you should do that. It is good to have back-ups in case the negatives and actual prints get ruined at some point. I have a ton of pictures of all sorts of things that just need to be scanned and stored somewhere online for back-up, but I can only muster the patience to scan a few at a time, then upload them, then post, etc.!!

Well, I got my PhotoPass CD today, which I was all excited about, and I have had nothing but problems trying to load the pictures to Photobucket so I can post some of them here! I mean, NOTHING but trouble. They would start loading, then stop. Or suddenly, I couldn't access the correct album to load them into because the stupid ads that run on the page slow the page down (like Sprint, for example, is a bad one that causes problems) and freeze everything up. I got so frustrated. I was cursing at the computer monitor. I think Photobucket wants people who load a lot of pictures to upgrade to the Pro service, which costs money. I wouldn't mind doing that if I KNEW I wasn't going to have the current problems I am having, but if I paid $40 for PRO service and still had these issues, I would be p***ed! So I gave up for tonight. I think I only managed to get about 50 pictures loaded after hours of trying. I will try again tomorrow and hopefully Photobucket will be acting better!

Sherry,glad to hear that you got your CD, can't wait to see your pictures. I know what you mean about photobucket, sometimes it can be a pain, hopefully you will have better luck today.

Omg. The pictures of you with Bret Michaels is sooo awesome!!! So 80s. Sherry, you freaking rock.

Do you watch his Rock of Love show? I really don't, but I've been catching a few episodes. One girl on the bus one is from my city. Her name is Brittanya? Something like that. I don't know her, but she used to work with Jesus' sister and they were good friends and she's BFFs with Jesus' cousin. Anyways, she didn't win, she made it to the top 3 and he kicked her off.

Seriously, I LOVE LOVE your old Disneyland pictures!!! In 1994 I was 7 years old!

I know! I've been neglecting the TR portion of the boards for some reason! But I am back!!

Yeah, I did tell you huh? I just got the scoop from Jesus' sister the other night. She said she saw her at the mall the other day and she was talking to her and she told her she made it that far. She got kicked off for something about she was talking bad about Bret and another girl told on her and he got upset. Something like that..!

Also she has a boyfriend and had one while on the show. Jesus was like "So why'd she go on the show to find love if she has a BF?". We're like duh buddy! For the fame of being on TV!! It's kind of sad, but I'm sure most of the girls on the show are doing it for that reason. But like you said, I'm sure he's just doing it for that reason and not for a real relationship...

Aaaah, yes, the big hair bands.... I remember those. Right in the middle of my big music listening days. Funny because when we were bowling yesterday they were flashing some old music videos on the big screens above the lanes. I forget which band was on but my DS said he was sure glad they guys didn't wear their hair like that anymore.

I just might get around to digging up old photos but who knows when! Right now I am in the process of loading up everything onto Shutterfly so I can have a backup cd made. (I tried to use Photobucket but finally gave up!) When I get through with this project I just might get to scanning!

Yeah! Photopass pics! You sure did get a few. You must have had a lot better luck than I did in finding the photographers. Your first shot with Santa is really great and then I also like the one in front of the castle. You got a bunch of really good ones!

Hi, Sherry! Love your photopass photos, especially the 'snowflake tree' ones at night, how beautiful!

If that's the tree along the walkway to Ariel's Grotto, then we got pictures taken in front of it, but I think they were only during the day, I don't recall ours looking so stunning.

I just ordered my photopass CD, but I'm still a little put out that there will be no Captain Hook (or even 'Captain Hook left the scene') photos.

Ah well. I'm thinking my kids and I might go back in a few months...

Hi Sherry! My mission to find a perfect place to upload photos sounds much like yours! Most of my pictures are on Webshots but as best I can tell I cannot order a backup cd from them and have just lost patience for placing orders with them. I started to order prints of all my pictures this year and finally gave up because I could never get the order to finish. They still are my primary place for photo storage but mainly because I have already paid for their premium service.

I went in search of an alternative and my next attempt was on Photobucket since I already had an account but I find their upload process very slow and not particularly user friendly.

So I stumble across Shutterfly because they do make the backup cds. Their upload process works very well and their site is very easy to use which means a lot in my book. It is taking me days upon days to get all the photos reloaded onto their site but it will be worth it to have a cd printed so I don't have to worry about the photos ever being lost. So, I am pretty new at using them but so far for me they have been the best choice. I don't know for sure what other items they have to offer... I haven't made it that far yet. Good luck at finding one to meet all your needs!

Oh boy! More Photopass pics! I am going to have to make it a mission to hunt down those Photopass photographers better next time! You are right... going back to the same location is okay because you might get an even better photo next time! The few photographers that we DID find didn't really seem to be into doing anything special so we didn't come back with anything totally outstanding. Still buying the cd is an outstanding value because you could spend that much on just a few 8x10s right away!
