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

Sunday, October 13, 2013

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 […]

Day 279: Meanwhile, back in Disneyland…

Wednesday, October 9, 2013

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 278: A brief interlude, part 2

Back at the Hoodoos, this rock is layered in the back, but the front looks looks like a flying saucer or giant clam stuck into the mud before it all dried. (1/60s f/8.0 ISO125 28mm Canon 7D) Miscellaneous Hoodoos standing proudly against the sky. (1/350s f/8.0 ISO125 30mm -1 stop 7D) Lewis or Clark?  It […]
