Photo Request Thread

[Walt Jr.]

Any photos you would like to request? Post them here!

[I Heart Disneyland]

Photos of Rancho del Zocalo, the hallway back in there, with the wall planters and the inside with all of the Mexican lanterns hanging from the ceiling and the pottery on the walls. That place inspired me to decorate my home with that stuff!!!

I think I can fulfill that request - here are some photos taken in the last couple of months from Rancho del Zocalo's decor (click on any photo for a larger version or to download even larger sizes):

Froggy,

I haven't had the chance to ask this and these pictures are the perfect opportunity! Did you find yourself noticing more details and taking these wonderful pictures because of the time spent playing WIDW? Or are you so good at WIDW because you are the kind of person who just notices details anyway?

Either way, these pictures are fabulous!

Howzabout this -- I heard that on Buzz Lightyear, somewhere they left a mural or something from America The Beautiful as a tribute -- has anyone seen that?

Almost hidden in Frontierland, this park is by the Rancho Zocalo

Not sure if you're aware of it, but that sign is a reference the original "El Zocalo Park" which was also sometimes called the "Mexican Village"...that sat there in that spot and featured a large open market of merchandise and hand crafted goods. The El Zocalo Market was there when the Park first opened (inspired by the Zorro television series) and for several decades after.

Here's a couple of vintage shots of it:





And here's a shot of a ceramic hat that was sold there, that I found on someone's blog (sorry...don't recall which).



So El Zocalo Park is not named for the restaurant, but the restaurant is named for the old Park and Market that used to be there.

Those same benches!!!! ^^^^^^

I would have LOVED that area!! I collect Mexican crafts. Too bad it was before my time! Thanks for these photos, Opus!

Thanks Tinkermonkey!

I appreciate the compliment, and absolutely YES, those hours spent playing WIDW on this board helped me notice details ... with our without a camera. I can't go into a Disney park without thinking "hmm, I wonder if they'd ever guess this one...?"

In fact, I've taken a few photos I haven't posted anywhere that I have available to me for future use... heh heh.

I personally like "The End" (Fishbulb) shots. Those are always appreciated.

Still looking for some good shots of the critter houses (I believe they are supposed to be the Pooh character's) near the Many Adventure of Winnie the Pooh.
