Dumped in Adventureland



Penny the Elephant was once a resident of the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlour on Main Street. My earliest photo of her there is from 2008. When it was remodeled back in 2012, Penny disappeared. Today, you can find her out in the open above the market in Adventureland.

Mickey's Halloween Party: The Grand Finale



Today marks the last of my Mickey's Halloween Party photos; still more trip report photos for next week though!

These gigantic Mickeys are all over the park;



some show fear…



some show happiness:



Nice to see the Ray Bradbury Tree in Frontierland continues its annual tradition of being decorated for Halloween:



This talking scarecrow in Frontierland is just one step away from a creepy clown.



No dessert was had at the Plaza Inn, so a sugary treat needed to be found. The Mint Julep Bar in New Orleans Square was the perfect place for this.



A tasty mint julep (love those maraschino cherries!)…



and a sack of piping hot Pumpkin Beignets.



Heading back to Central Plaza for the Halloween Fireworks, I snapped a few of the Adventureland attractions, specially lit for the evening.



Even the Treehouse looks scary at night!



Unlike previous years, we didn't fight too hard to get the perfect viewing spot for the Fireworks. If you go, you really need to be DEAD (pun intended) center in order to see the special lighting on the castle and the large round orbs that surround the castle. We were at the left side, which totally obliterated the view to just about anything other than the fireworks themselves. At least we could still see Zero flying over the Castle!













The beignets were delish, but when we saw just how empty The Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlour was, we could not resist. This just never happens!



The Firehouse Dalmatian Mint Sundae is a Daveland favorite (more maraschino cherries!):



The Carnation Café was closed, so I took advantage of this occasion to snap some interior shots, including this wide panorama photo:





Previously, we had missed the Town Square Disney Villains finale, so we made a point to catch it this time.



Lady Tremain and her evil daughters were ablaze!



A quartet of cadaverous gents:



Your typical assortment of all-star Disney Villains:







Last one for today shows the cool Halloween lighting on the Main Street Train Station:



I hope these posts have gotten you into the Halloween Spirit; do you have your costume yet for trick or treating?

Another May Trip Report, Pt. 3



Happy Memorial Day! As promised yesterday, today's post will be heavy on the dark rides, beginning with Snow White. So on this patriotic holiday, just sit back and prepare to scroll!



































Funky light fixtures!























Bouncing across the way to see Mr. Toad:















A magical trip with Peter Pan:























Rarely a long line with Pinocchio:





























You can't let a night at Disneyland go by without at least a few shots of the Carrousel:







Hungry from all of the photos, we rewarded ourselves with ice cream sundaes at The Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlour:





The smiles on our faces show that the Firehouse Dalmatian Sundae is a winner!



The chilling conclusion of my 2nd May Trip Report will be posted tomorrow.
