Permanecer Sentados, Por Favor
Disney Legend, Wally Boag, died this past weekend at the age of 90. Wally was famous for his great characterizations in Disneyland’s Golden Horseshoe and as the voice of Jose in “Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room”. So Long Wally… You will be missed.
A Big thank you goes out to Daveland for use of their wonderful pictures! Visit the wonderful site full of vintage and new Disneyland pictures!
Hey All!
Here’s another in our ongoing series, but first, where was last week’s photo taken?
And now for this week’s lamp:
We will have a much more lengthy review of this incredible and amazing ride soon, but for now, enjoy this little gem we captured last week!
As well as this ABSOLUTELY GENIUS piece of marketing done by the folks at TDA!
Hey all!
Here’s another in our ongoing series, but first, where was last week’s photo taken?
And now for this week’s floor:
Hey everyone! We hope you’re all having an amazing Memorial Day this year. Maybe you’re out barbecuing or at the Disneyland Resort for the long weekend, but whatever it is, I highly recommend witnessing this event in person at the DLR or watching this video.
I had just gotten engaged in July of 2010 and my financé and I took a lovebird trip to Disneyland to celebrate. We watched this ceremony at sunset and took it it’s beauty and emotional grandeur. It certainly touches you no matter what your age! This is also my favorite security guard at the resort taking down the flag!
Enjoy!
Over at Disney California Adventure, walls are up around the construction of Carthay Circle Theatre.
As you can see above, Disney is very creative with their construction walls. Here we see an ad for “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” premiering at the Theatre. But look at what else is on these construction walls:
This wall has a trolly car with passengers aboard. Now when I looked at this painting something struck me instantly. The guy in the back of the car, wearing the hat, looks familiar. I then realized it was Walt himself! I had remembered a picture I had once seen of Walt with his camera taken in the 1920s.
So what do you think? Is that Walt riding the trolly car in DCA? If so, are the other people in the car anyone of importance?
Hey all!
I want to try this little series where I take photos of different floors around the DLR and you all try to locate them. Like our locate the lamp series, I’ll let you know where the previous week’s flooring is located.
Here we GOOOOOOO!!!!!

Answer to last week’s photo:
To celebrate Cinco De Mayo, here are some shots from the Mexican Pavilion at EPCOT!
Let me tell you — we haven’t even launched this site yet as of the time of this posting and already, I need to update my stand on a certain attraction. For years — since I can remember, really — I have stood by my hatred (distaste, really) for the Enchanted Tiki Room.
I always let visitors experience it. I never recommended it but I would let those that wished to bask in its — what seemed to be — huge wast of time, I would allow them and either browse for a hooded sweater or take a cruise through the jungle. But this past weekend was a different story.
Call it excitement from the news of Osama bin Laden’s death or maybe there was something in the air, but I was in a really good mood and I thought, “Ya know what? Tiki Room!” We also wanted to check out the bath rooms while we were there. SO TINY!
Even while in the lobby / waiting area, I had this sense of amazement and wonder. I love Hawaii and have been a few times now, and I suppose I just haven’t been to the Tiki Room since going to Hawaii. It really hit me how well done that attraction is and how isolated one feels when they’re on the other side of the Dole Whip stand.
So we went in and sat along the north wall. It was night-time and it wasn’t too crowded in the room — or the park, for that matter. The show started and about a minute into the show, I realized I was having an amazing time and once the entire room was erupting in music and energy, I was hoping not to hear the thunder because I didn’t want the show to end.
So while in my original post about my top 10 Disneyland Resort Attractions I condemn the Tiki Room, I now back it as one of my favorite and must-do attractions in the park. How blind but now I see how awesome the Enchanted Tiki Room is!
