Day 287

Wednesday, October 16, 2013

Lugnut and I had a nice afternoon together.  After we rode the Steam Train around the park we got off at Toontown!  Lugnut got to use his Conductor Hat to drive the Trolley! (All photos taken on a Nikon P7100) Then we visited the Toontown Post Office. The Boxes’ renters talk to you when you […]

Day 285

Sunday, October 13, 2013

Pulling into the Frontierland Station, we stop by the water tower. While not being used as anything but set decoration now, the water tower is the location of…the water! Yes, this is a real steam engine and needs real water to run.  Try explaining that to s five year old on a train! Of course, […]

Day 284

Meanwhile, back on the Railroad…we entered the tunnel to see a diorama of the Grand Canyon (not closed for the Government Shutdown!) This is the World’s Longest handpainted diorama, or something like that, and is original to the opening of Disneyland! There are lots of Grand Canyon type animals, here, the only actual taxidermied critters […]

Day 282

Sunday, October 13, 2013

Back to Lugnut and the Railroad shortly. This is where we stayed, the Anaheim Residence Inn Maingate, or something like that.  It was within walking distance to Disneyland, but since all you do there is walk anyway, we got bus passes.  It was sure nice, once you have dragged yourself back to the Disney Gate […]

Day 280

Friday, October 11, 2013

Afte the Pirates adventure we headed into Frontierland for some more traditional kids attractions…but Splash Mountain was closed. <<sigh>> So we took Toots and Lugnut on the The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh, which is a really great ride if you like Winnie the Pooh. (Dailylife Wife’s Olympus PEN PL2) These rides were designed […]

Another day in Disneyland!  The Monorail still rolls right along over our heads. (All photos taken on a Nikon Coolpix P7100 unless otherwise noted!) The grandkritters get to meet the Landlord! Smile! (That is the best looking smile out of Lugnut on the whole trip!) Lugnut is enthralled with the cannon, Toots is hunting for […]

Day 276: Night at Downtown Disney

Saturday, October 5, 2013

Downtown Disney is a shopping area where you can get all kinds of Disney and non-Disney Stuff.  It also has non-Disney restaurants, nightclubs and the Lego Store!  The Dailylife Wife, DD#2 and I took a stroll through Downtown Disney after our dinner to recover from all of the “celebrities” we met at Goofy’s Kitchen. I […]
