Theme Parks in Your Home

[Robo]

Very cool stuff. Especially Robo. I wish my wife would give me my corner of the house where I could do this stuff. I have a dream one day of turning my den into a Disney Shrine.

My DW is actually the one who bought all the "beanies" and manages to fit everything (!) into this small space.

Its really "her room," and I am the "techie" who builds the electrical and electronic modifications (like the Mickey Mouse Club "Ear-lights," the giant Mickey clock(s), and the "Main Street Cinema picture frame" modified to a video player.)

We are both (obviously) bitten by the Disney "bug," thank goodness!

Robo, what are those last photos? Is it a mini TV or something?

We found the lighted "Main Street Cinema Picture Frame" last year at WDW (it was at several of the gift shops, but I don't think I saw it anymore on our last trip.)

I immediately thought how cool it would be if i could actually make it "show movies" (Steamboat Willie, like is says on the marquee.)

So we bought it, and after we returned from the trip, I found an LCD TV that was the right size, and I modified it (don't try this at home, kids) to fit right into the space where the photo would go.

Connected a DVD player and a DVD copy of Steamboat Willie... there it is.

Its EASY to appear to be BRILLIANT when all you need to know is how to spell GOOGLE.

I dream of your office though, it's so cool and I'd love to see any other views of it .

This room is really still a work in progress. I really have a lot to do, still - shelves to put the stuffed characters on, I have about seventy-five 2-inch characters to put in the room and I need to place all my Disney books in here.....but here is where I am so far.


In this one, you can see the icons from the 4 different parks in the smaller pictures.

A few items from my Narnia collection.

Framed Lithographs.

Shadowboxes, Trading Pins and other collectibles from my trips to Disney.

Autographed Pictures.

My parents just redid their downstairs bathroom to a Disney bathroom. They used frame lithographs on the wall, some Winnie the Pooh wall stickeys, and they're going to frame pictures of my family at WDW and hang them in there as well. It looks really great!! Sorry, no pics yet!

These are the three things that I admired most. They are awesome!
