Tuesday, April 20, 2010

Storybook Land Canal Boats…so good we did it twice! Uh oh…this doesn’t look good… Toots… …isn’t too sure, either! As we come out the other end (don’t think about it)… …Storybook Land.  All the Disney Storybook locations. Alladin’s Agroba! Seven vertically challenged people’s house. Cinderella’s Castle. Casey Junior’s Railroad.  Toots declined to ride it; it […]

Day 100 (7 Apr 10 part 2): Main Street USA!

Thursday, April 8, 2010

Just inside the security gate (ask me sometime my opinion…) is a big courtyard between Disneyland and California Adventure.  As always, Disney has great trees and bushes. Once past the ticket booth we see Main Street Station and one of the four trains they had running around the park. Once through this arch we are […]
