2DieFR Pictorial: August 5, 2008

It's been far, far too long since my last pictorial. I decided that now is as good a time as any to get back into the groove, and I'm very excited to share these pictures with you.

Alright Tink, sprinkle us with pixie dust and take us to Disneyland!

Welcome to Disneyland!

These pictures were taken August 5, my half birthday!

Cruella de Vil greets guests inside the gates.

Disneyland is your land.

The cannon nearest City Hall is missing.

And speaking of City Hall, one of the building's second story windows features an "honorary mayor of Disneyland," J.B. Lindquist.

Stepping inside the firehouse, we have this lovely bell.

A look down a parade-preparing Main Street from the train station.

Mushrooms are growing underneath the tree planters!

Mmm, a yummy cake display wets the tongues of guests visiting the bakery.

The Plaza Pavilion continues its refurb.

Not much to see here.

Lots of Tink today.

Sleeping Beauty Castle in afternoon light and shadow.

I'm wishing...

Castle corridors.

The lesser photographed aspects of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Beautiful light fixtures, clocks, and murals.

More to come...

We've sorely missed your skills 2DieFR. Great shots and I'm sure the rest will be no different. Incredible!

Nice! That tink in the parade of dreams is the hotness.

[Alice's Wonderland]

Really nice shots!

The castle courtyard.

I think that crack was there before the recent quake.

Inside the coat of arms shop.

Great things to come inside the castle are represented by this modest wall.

Aurora and Philip will dance again.

The castle door to the diorama.

Let us in!

The coat of arms above the door - heavily doctored, but I kinda like how it turned out.

Cute detail at the entrance of the princess shop.

Peering up to the turrets and towers above...

The crystal shop (formerly inside the castle) is moving into this space.

A peek inside reveals industrial lighting, paint, and other bricabrac.

I wonder what the new name will be...

Next we will explore the lovely Court of Angels in New Orleans Square.

[Dopey's Girl]

I really enjoyed these. For those of us who don't get to the park very often, it's a great way to see what's been going on, so thanks for posting these.

But how on Earth did you get a shot of everyone in front of the Mickey flowers without hordes of tourists sharing the shot? I'm impressed!

Post more!

[2DieFR]

The quaint, the peaceful, the lovely...

Portrait artists set up shop here.

The Louisiana state flag flies above. The open courtyard allows you a gorgeous view from all angles.

The adjacent ornament shop. I've seen closets larger than this.

General Orleans.

Oh yeah, there's this big green box...

To finish, a few random shots wouldn't belong otherwise...

Oh yeah, I forgot to include this window with the others from the Gheppetto shop.

I like the texture of this light along the small world mall.

Alright, thats it! Thanks for viewing!
