Holiday Report of Photos and Fun

[BoygunaSurf]

Dedicated friends of the Parks, I hope you have all had the chance to experience Disneyland in holiday mode! I was fortunate to get a couple days off from the salt mines to see for myself what has been called, "The Most Crowded Place on Earth!" Other than Thanksgiving evening, it really wasn't too bad. Weather was good, turkey legs juicy and even the gingerbread house seemed scary! So my wife and I brought the pup, and met my parents and brah Ryan for festivities. Not many Polaroids were taken, partly because if you stood still too long, the sea of people would carry you all the way to Toon Town...and that is the last place you want to be. Here are some of the snap shots...


Hello Everybody, we're mighty glad to meet'cha...here at the Golden Horseshoe Revue! So you want fries, but want to dip them in some iced cream? Here's your place.

What trip is complete without a trip around the river in a fine dugout? Don't sit behind uncoordinated kids or adults though, unless you are wearing swim trunks.

More on the dugout attraction.

A friendly bird of prey takes in the NOS crowd. Her babies are sure taking a long time to grow up.

You are looking at a rather dapper-looking rabbit, unaware that a sneaky fox and buffoon of a bear are hunting him down.

Busted! I saw a number of kids being carried out of the park by their parents in this very same fashion.

We waited in a 30 minute line outside the honey pot ride to take a photo next to this pole. Worth it!

Probably his best side. Looking on to the island, wondering where Injun Joe might be lurking. They are work friends but don't see much of each other outside the gates.

Look, sir: Droids. These plastics were escorting her highness, Marie Osmond, to the Mrs. Potato Head accessory bin.

As can be seen here, my landscape photos are pure rubbish. Just proof we was there!

Partners and Poinsettias, I call it!

Here he is, the big-bopper Ryan. Sitting high on his throne as he cruised through the jungle. The CM's did a very nice job in getting him on and off the boat.

Popping off rounds as well as jokes, this guy was a class act and made our cruise one to remember. He even let me sprawl out on the middle bench, flat on my back, to get a new perspective. Stand up guy!

The Beast was kind, but smelled like cheese. Downside? Not for someone who is crazy about dairy! Note me leaning in a touch for a bigger whiff.

Never noticed this guy before...

...could not help BUT notice this guy! Happy Turkey Day, uh-hyuck!

Have you seen the Reindeer? Those fuzzy antlers and fluffy neck fur make these Caribou just so cute! And yet, they have got to be sweating up a storm! An arctic animal posting up in Anaheim? Is that why that area smells so bad? Or is it the smoking section?

Sign indicating a location to purchase loud mouth soup.

Nah-lins decorations.

Glittering gold, it is yours!

Disney in the details.

TSM ride vehicle with wheelchair access.

Loading the dude in. FYI, if you go on this ride in a wheelchair or with someone in a char, you go twice!

Ever wonder why their scores are higher? Way faster rate of fire with that bad boy!

Always winning prizes...classic Fireman Climb.

King Triton must use the shake weight.

Fo' reals y'all, I don't know why the line for Little Mermaid was so short? This ride is very well done and brings back childhood memories of having a crush on a cartoon fish.

You belong in the ocean!

Shop across from Soarin'.

A good mix of strumming and picking from these old curmudgeons.

The reason why everyone who visits the parks are in such good shape.

It's like this see, there's a child see...

Disney should get Dyson to put their name on that dudes vacuum, then, they can use the extra cash to beef up this ride. No 3-D please!

What are some funny things this old bird has said to you? She asked me if I borrowed my nose from a Proboscis Monkey. Harsh!

Every time I see Sully I just think of that ugly crochet blanket draped over the couch on Rosanne. Anyone else?

Caught in the act of goofin'...

Last night at the park, Monica walking the pup to the kennel.

A soft glow at the pet lockers.

Sorry for grossing you all out, but man, these things is good!

Pardon the poor parade shots...I just wanted to share how cool this one is.

That was joke yogurt, lighten up!

Dogs and Christmas, a staple!

More parade.

Uh Griswold, where do you think you're going to put a tree that big?

But you can do the job when you're in town.

Parade.

An often forgotten snake...

What does an actor want with a conscience, anyway?

Something seems just a little off about these cats, can't pinpoint it...

Anyone know if I can get this wallpaper by the yard for a price?

So eerie!

Who needs to see big groups of family for Thanksgiving? Isn't this what most peoples' gatherings look like, anyway?

Hold up your lights...

Little photo op with Peanut P. Paws!

Hideous photo, but gives you an idea of the crowds on Thanksgiving day. Pirate ride had a nearly 2 hour wait because some goblins were spreading rumors of live mermaid actors in the ride.

Merry Christmas y'all, thanks for checking out the trip report! More to come in January!

Nice trip report and I love you got a shot of the Haunted Mansion Chandelier, a little trivia for you on that it represents 666 there are 6 branches off the branches are 6 candles and off the candles are 6 crystals. Also did you find the hidden Mickey on the Santa Hat at It's a Small World? Its tricky but nice once you find it.
