Let's just hope those lamp posts don't go floating off to Never-Neverland.
Although I wouldn't mind If one landed in my backyard, next to my Disneyland rose trees!

They should keep the tinkerbell on those for a while I think, even past the homecoming... it makes disney, more disney with touches like those!

over at miboards, mintcrocodile took some pictures of some flowers attached to the lamp posts

flowers and tink

They weren't quite what I was expecting. But I may tend to like it once everything is in place on the lamp posts

I know, I saw the artwork too. However, I know with an intimate certainty, the hasty and disorganized fashion in which this particular project came together. So, I am just going to be happy with how nice they look and worry about semantics.

Not so sure about the weird flower pot photos though... I withhold judgment on those.

OMG... i wish that I could be there to see them before the end of the year... I am so worried that if i go later on in the celkebration that a lot of the stuff will be gone and I will have missed out on my chance of a life time...

i really like the tinkerbells... i think that is does brinf the whole theme together... I think that it could also inspire a new treasure hunt game where you follow the traces that tink left arount the park... maybe they could even put signs that tink just left the golden cars... like put a little statue of her sitting somewhere admiring her work or something... that would be really cool and tie the wholw thing together..

I love it!!!! I didn't read all the way through the thread at first to see the picture!!!! OMG I can't WAIT to see everyting one it's done...gold vehicles, lampposts (they were priming some of them when I was there a week and a half ago!!! I'll try to get the posts when they are lit tonight. YAY!!!! I can't wait!!!!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek... they ruined them with those strange flower pots. Couldn't they have chosen... "better" flower pots or something ? :-S

EDIT: well.... hmm.. actually I think I kind of like them better than I thought. I can imagine all of the lamp posts looking like this and it looks pretty good.

I dont like the red on the flowerpots, besides that there nice

**merlinjones** · 05-01-2005, 09:16 PM

The Tink sculpt is really nice too... Very much on-model! Good work.

**Aurora** · 05-01-2005, 09:30 PM

Tink on the lamp posts looks very cool...the flower pots, not so much. But maybe it's just the angle, and they'll look better from a distance...

**Disney Analyst** · 05-01-2005, 09:33 PM

I like the pots, just get rid of the red line :P It takes away from the gold...

**Alchimedes** · 05-01-2005, 09:53 PM

What a fantastic touch!! It looks magical!

Here's another shot of it (warning to dialup users... this could take a while!) http://home.comcast.net/~cindylamb1/goldlamplg.jpg

Oh how I love my DSL (only a couple of weeks old). Yeah, the flower pots are a little clunky. They kind of blur the delicacy of the victorian-style lamp posts...BUT...all the rehabs and improvements in the park are so welcome. It is looking very nice, indeed!

**DisneyFunGuy** · 05-01-2005, 10:25 PM

Um, what's with the new flower pots??? Granted, I haven't seen them yet in person, but I don't like what I've seen in the pictures!! I suppose I'll leave judgement when I see them tomorrow when I'm in the Park.

Personally, they could have just left the flower pots off and kept the Tinker Bell & pixi dust by themselves. By the pictures, it looks too gaudy now! It looks too over done.

Oh well, it was good while it lasted.
