Attack of the Pumpkin People in Frontierland

The Pumpkin People have taken over Disneyland....
Where do they come from?   What sort of Magic makes them come alive?  


Cover your ears while they play their pumpkin song--otherwise you to may be turned into a Pumpkin person.


They greet you with smiles and friendship


And then lure you in with games of chance


Don't end up like this guy

Halloween Disneyland blog of the week (Pictures my wife took -with her good camera)

We took a quick trip out to the parks to see the new decorations for Halloween  2011.
My wife forgot that her memory card was still in the computer --so I made the sacrifice of mine.  (She has the better camera anyway).   So instead of me posting pictures I'll just post the link to the blog she did.

Blue Creatures in the Disneyland Parks??? Avatar replaces the never built Beastly Kingdom

Disney and James Cameron have made a deal to bring Avatar to the parks.
Weird news.....The movie did make more money than any other movie in history....
I'c personally like to see more Star Wars related stuff --since there is a whole Galaxy to play with in Star Wars........I don't know what to feel out  Avatar...(it was basically a Blue Alien Pocohontas).   It will hit the Animal Kingdom.....  construction will start in  2013.....

Here is where I first read it .

Found this cool New Orleans Square audio on  You tube..  It is about 15 minutes --but a nice listen well flipping through other pages....   Just open a new internet tab and enjoy the music while surfing the net.

Disneyland Picture of the day (Burger Time) Not anymore



The invasion is no more---as this area was just recently re themed into a new restaurant area.

As Seen on Disney Parks blog :Progress in DCA


The  Carthay Circle Theatre Cupola was just recently installed.

The new centerpiece replacing the sun fountain near the entrance of DCA that is a part of the re imagined entrance plaza area for  DCA...  I'm going to try and get out to the park this weekend and maybe snap a few pictures ....Can't wait to see how this will look once it is all done.

What Pooh has in Store (The Little Details)

In what I'm calling the little details series......I think for most people it is subconscious.   The area music....The atmosphere.....It is sometimes the little un-noticed details that are what add to your experience that make it more magical....The care and time that is put into ---the backyard of even a store....That little bit extra that you don't think about at the end of a day as you talk about your favorite ride --but that are there filling in the gaps ---creating the environment that you love so much....  For example even in Pooh's store in the far off corners of the Park...The details shine...
