TR w/4000+ Pics/Disney on Ice w/184 Pics!!

[Belle Ella]

Almost park time! I'm so excited!!

Kelly - BTW, while it's on my mind, the whole multi-quotes thing. I know it took me ages to figure it out (been on Proboards for about 5 years and I only leared how to do it earlier this year). I was making screen caps to help a friend figure out how to put images in her signature. I could do the same for multi-quotes if you'd like

Jess that sounds great but I don't even know what that means LOL. I told you I was computer illiterate LOL.

I have had like 10 people try to explain it to me and I have tried to do it but it never seems to work when I try it.

Like I said OOOOLD dogs! LOL

Screencaps are awesome - just photos taken by the computer of what's on the screen so you can visually see step-by-step how to do it Screen Captures!

I know.....me too!! Working on Ty's photos now!!

I can't wait!!

BTW, Kelly, I posted a thread about multi-quoting with screen shots over on the Community Board (here) if you'd like to check it out. I hope that it helps! I didn't want to take up Laurie's TR with it

As I figured Ty & Nick had taken some photos on the way in.....so we're back tracking a bit. These are from Tyler's camera.

And these were Nick's pics on the way to the park:

Now I'm going to go thru the 2 different files & cd's & put the rest of the day into order before posting more. Keep in mind we had 5 different cameras & over 4000 photos this trip!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Okay....how bout we cross thru the gates & start our day!!

These are the pictures in the left tunnel as you enter on to Main Street:

The Disneyland Railroad:

Now we're gonna look back to the left of Main Street. These were hung over the opening of the Disney Gallery & on a post:

This is the Great Moments with Lincoln (its in the building where the 50th memorabilia was held since 2005.

The light posts all decked out in red, white & blue. Also the Disney Showcase store & building side:

Next post will include more Train Station & the right side of Main Street!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

The Main Street Station for the Disneyland Railroad.

The Dedication Speech Plaque, Cannon & Popcorn Cart:

City Hall & the Firehouse:

The fence where the Main Street Vehicles enter on to Main Street & the Vehicles (Omnibus, Fire Engine, Horse Drawn Carriage & Horseless Carriage):

We actually got to watch them all come out......that was a first!!

Next post will have more of Main Street, the Matterhorn & our first ride!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Here we go with more Main Street. At opening the Castmembers line Main Street wearing Mickey gloves & wave at you as you walk towards the castle. I thought it was a nice touch. By the way.....anyone notice the Celebration Balloons haven't been shown yet?? I loved these & the picture op......but they've been taken out!!

Here's the Emporium Store & the look up Main Street toward the castle.

The Disneyland Firemen & Main Street Cinema CM:

Chef Oscar with the Carnation Cafe.....love this guy!! We had to chuckle that after all these years working for Disneyland...he's starting to look a bit "animated" himself!! You just want to squeeze him & take him home!!

Walking past Tomorrowland & heading towards the Matterhorn side to get into Fantasyland & passing by Pixie Hollow:

Stopping for a few pics by the Alice in Wonderland ride (that was shut down due to issues with Cal-OSHA)....kinda missed not getting to ride this with the twins!!

Tyler found this marker somewhere over by the Matterhorn & Alice in Wonderland ride.....I've never seen these before:

Ok, ran out of room to post pics....so the First Ride will be in the next installment!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

So usually our first ride is Peter Pan....but since this was not a Magic Morning....we decided we would have to pick something else to be the first ride. Betty let us know that during her trip with us in 2005....she didn't get to ride the teacups....so the Mad Tea Party teacups it was!! The twins loved it & in fact Shyann cried when we had to get off.

Ty likes doing self portraits:

As we got off the Teacups, we got a picture of the whale for the Storybookland Canal Boats.

Our next ride would be Small World....these are the pics as we made our way up to it & the animal shaped topiaries that line the outside.

The next installment will have a few pics from inside Small World.

These are making me SO excited for our trip coming up in a week!! Thanks for all of the pictures!

I am very disappointed about Alice being closed as well. I was really looking forward to this ride.

 

[kaoden39]

I love it Laurie. I am sad a about Alice and I hope they get it fixed and reopened, it is a legacy.

Woo Hoo your trip is very close now!! Glad you're liking the pics!!

Well at least I knew about the closure before we got there.....thanx DIS!! But it was really weird not riding it this trip.

I love it Laurie. I am sad a about Alice and I hope they get it fixed and reopened, it is a legacy.

Thanx Michele........I didn't get as far on this today......so many files I have to open & try to put in order. I just got to the point....I needed a break. I'll get back to it tomorrow!!

Thanks so much Jess for the offer of all the help. I need all I can get!!

Loving all the pics and the report for today! I find myself keeping checking to see if you have more lol. I am bad in that I just can't bring myself to do a big report and I certainly don't take NEARLY as many pics as you do. This is really fun reliving it through you guys!!

Shane had to work today and so when he got home we had to run to sam's and my old printer has been dieing and I desperately needed one but like everything else I have been putting it off cuz I also need new tires for my car LOL. But he said oh let's just get one cuz we found one tonight for 49 bucks but by the time we bought the ink and all our groceries our bill was close to 500 bucks. EEK! But we are back now and I just read your latest installment.

Loving it!!

Have fun tonight at Karoke!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

That wasn't a cheap trip to the store.......ouch! But hooray for a new printer!!

I didn't get near as much done on my report today as planned, but I'm trying to organize 5 camera's pics into an order.....some days won't be too bad for doing but the first couple days are a mess!!

Will definitely have more tomorrow!!

 

[kelmac284]

Oh I know Laurie. We go to Winco every week and get the basics, milk, bread, cereal and stuff to get us through until we make our bi-monthly BIG trip to Sam's to get all our staples and big stuff like meat, dog food, the big stuff!! We usually spend about 50 to 70 bucks a week at Winco if we budget well but sometimes 100 if we have to buy meat in the meantime although I don't like to buy meat there much, prefer to buy it at sam's but sometimes we have to go more than 2 weeks in between and we run out.

But that is what happened this time. We were supposed to go last week but Shane has had to work the last 3 saturdays in a row and before that I think it was something else I don't remember but it has been awhile since we have been and we were out of EVERYTHING. And would you believe the printer was only 49 but the stupid ink was 70 bucks. OUCH!! But at least it is done. I haven't been able to print ANYTHING for months and with NO printer it gets hard. And now that school is starting we really needed one.

Anyway loving your report and I am amazed you have the time and patience to go through and then post all those pics. I'm loving it!!

Can't wait for the next installment.

I prob won't be on much today because we are going to a friends for a birthday party but I will be anxious to see it when I get back!!

 

[disneydreamer74]

Great pics!! WOw!! I will miss ALice most likely as well. I love the themeing outside of the ride..they outdid themselves with that one! Seeing pics of IASW just got my DD3 sooo excited!!! It is her absolute favorite ride at DLR. ME? I am partial to Peter Pan! Just love that it is kinda old school and hey...who doesnt want to fly??

We live directly behind a Winco......hate shopping there but do it anyways.

The inks for these printers can get quite costly!! We tried to take that into account when picking out our new one earlier this year.

Have fun at the birthday party!!

The bathroom by Alice in Wonderland is also themed....playing cards for the doors!
Our 3 yr old twins loved Small World too!! They recognized the music & it's a long relaxing ride.
Love Peter Pan....it's usually our first ride but we didn't have a magic morning on our first day like usual.

 

[DizNee Luver]

Let's see.....when I last left you we were getting ready to enter Small World. I didn't take any pics this time....decided to watch to see how Michayla & Shyann did. They know the song when they hear it & was hoping they would not get stressed on the ride. (they made it about half way thru last year before stressing out). Ty started out taking a few pics in the entry but stopped & so most of these pics were taken by Nick!!

Peter Pan & Tink are flying around above us (a little hard to see):

Alice & the White Rabbit:

Cinderella & a couple of the mice:

Pinocchio:

Aladdin & Jasmine:

The Hyena's from the Lion King?:

More Small World next post!
