That is now screened off with the rope netting and piled with prop boxes of "pirate booty".<br /><br />Overall, though, for a youth population who are now unfamiliar with the Mark Twain universe and characters, the present "Pirate" overlay appears to work just fine.<br /><br />The play events are still strikingly different from the plastic tubing mazes at McDonalds and the enamel pipe "Big Toys" at the school playgrounds, even after re-engineering. <br /><br />I think these still must add up to a good time for the little ones. I had fun just watching and remembering when i was small enough to fit through those holes.<br /><br />The modern signs do not "hold a candle" to the old ones, though, with their references to the books and characters outside a Disney universe.<br /><br />Thank you Dave.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-41367739839169811552012-11-05T16:26:36.500-08:002012-11-05T16:26:36.500-08:00I love the old Tom Sawyer Island!I love the old Tom Sawyer Island!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-87566946275203061162012-11-05T11:20:19.439-08:002012-11-05T11:20:19.439-08:00So much Disneyland B&W goodness this week.

Island signs are the best! :)<br /><br />Ambush Rock was that spot with the unfenced straight drop-off to the ground several feet below, right?Rich T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01218280822336323825noreply@blogger.com
