Day 291

Wednesday, October 16, 2013

iPods.  A wait line’s best friend! Across from Peter Pan Flight is Sleeping Beauty’s castle. Upstairs the Wicked Queen peaks out on occasion! The line for Peter Pan’s Flight wasn’t too bad. Here are the ships you fly around Neverland with. And here is Neverland Island…and the stars around it.  Even my fancy super-duper low […]

Day 290

Wednesday, October 16, 2013

After we exited the Monorail in Tomorrowland, we walked by the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage (formerly the Submarine Voyage), complete with annoying (Mine! Mine!) seagulls.  No need to import them from Australia! I don’t know why Lugnut wasn’t interested in the Sub ride, but he declined the offer to ride in it. ~Curtis from Kalifornia […]

Day 289

After Lunch Lugnut and I headed for…the Monorail! The Monorail loops around 2.5 miles of Disneyland, California Adventure and Downtown Disney.  It starts at one of the two stations: Tomorrowland or Downtown Disney.  Then it loops through the trees and alongside of the main street OFF of the Disney property, across the “Disney Transit Center” […]

Day 288

Wednesday, October 16, 2013

After missing a couple of texts while in line at the Go Coaster, we all met for lunch and wandered down to a pretty good, if not cheap (at Disney Anywhere?  Cheap?  HA!) restaurant on Main Street.  While the food was good,”Stache got his regular fare… As his lunch Lugnut had…popcorn. He broke to have […]

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 286

Tuesday, October 15, 2013

A quick aside: I was looking through some old(er) photos and I ran across this one.  This is one of those cheap LED/solar garden lights.  I have a couple that have lasted two years!  This one worked for a couple of nights.  Or maybe it is still working: The ants have completely filled the globe […]

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 […]
