I took a picture of the Push guy too! It was a different guy than this. But he was dressed the same, all incognito! We know Disney! You can't fool us!!!
EW! Spiders at
Disneyland! Not cute! Or magical! I don't mind bugs or spiders, but that thing is HUGE! BLECH!
Yeah, Disney can't fool us stalkers of Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers and Rob Pattinson girls! We see everything!!!!
That thing we incredibly huge! It hurt my tummy to look at it.
Wendy, I love the pics of the FL weather vanes. I have never really noticed them before. Isn't that awful!
Also, that photo of the backside of the castle with the clock and Once Upon A Time shop sign IS PERFECT! I'm stealing it for a desktop pic. You REALLY need to post it on the Picture of the Day thread on the DL Forum. Seriously!
Maybe if you stopped stalking Cast Members, you would see other things!
Thanks for the compliment on the castle picture! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I have never noticed those weather vanes, either! We were just saying over in the Picture of the Day thread yesterday that the parks (especially DL) are full of so many little hidden gems exactly like that one, which often go unnoticed. It seems like there is always something to discover and I find myself saying, "Oh, I didn't know this was here," or "I've never seen that before - what that always here?" But I should know better - because at DLR, a sign is never just a sign, a lamppost is never just a lamppost, a weather vane is never just a weather vane and a trashcan is never just a trashcan! It sort of makes one feel like DLR will never get old because there are so many things to pay attention to. I imagine that a lot of folks are kind of rushing from one ride to another, or too frustrated with the crowds and not really paying attention to these special Disney touches. So when you really kind of wander around at a lesiurely pace over several days, you can really see a lot more!
I swear, with that Push trashcan, we were looking up at the windows of buildings for the guy 'behind the garbage'! We had no idea he was standing out among us, dressed as a 'regular guy.' He must be using a remote to move the can, obviously, but is he talking into some device to voice Push and no one can tell he is saying the same things the trashcan is saying?
Do you stalk Cast Members too?
It's easy to miss the details that are up high. Most people are concentrating on what's in front of them, not above them, so it's easy to miss the little things. I was able to notice a lot of little things being there by myself and it made everything all the more magical.
I just happened to stop next to the guy to watch Push and noticed that he was talking into something. At first I thought he might be crazy, but then I realized he was being Push!
OMG, so violent.
I love the updates. And all the pics. Well, except the spider! WTH?? That thing is huge!!!
Sorry the tour was rather chaotic. I'm glad I didn't go on it. I'm sure over all it was fun, but not on such a busy night. Thanks for the review though! I'd been really curious about it.
Hmmm, now I want a corn dog.
When it comes to evil scary clowns, yes I am violent.
That spider still haunts me. It was unnaturally big.
I wish it hadn't been such a busy night for the tour, I also wish so much time hadn't been wasted and that Big Thunder was open. Oh well. It was entertaining, Hilary made up for the bad parts!
Very nice pictures. I also love those Main Street window displays. I hope they always keep some version of the classic window displays in the parks. I will not be happy if they ever follow the lead of WDW and turn the window displays into all merchandise all the time.
Thank you! I hope they keep them too. They've always been my favorite part of Main Street.
I just read the last update.. I had missed it somehow.
Like Beth, I LOVE The weathervanes! Those are so awesome! I'm going to try and remember to point those out next visit. Which was the first one from ...the guy on the horse...??
You missed one of my updates, how rude!
I do that all the time. I was on a roll last night, so I thought I'd make up for lost time and do a bunch of updates all at once.
I believe that gut was on top of Pinocchio's Daring Journey. Happy hunting!!!
I agree - that is one of those things that makes DL so unique. I used to love those window displays even as a small child and would eagerly run to look for them when I got in the park, and would get very excited if I saw the display figures were moving or animated in some way. Again, it is one of those things that is easy for people to miss or skip, but is truly a special feature of DL. When we were in DCA in October, I noticed one Nemo-themed window display (for the life of me, I cannot recall where it was in DCA) and was very happy to see it. I think DCA needs a few more of those little - what I like to refer to as - 'kisses of magic' that DL has, while still maintaining its own personality.
Yes, I agree too. I remember always being so excited to see what would be in the window display. I would always get so excited, because it usually had to do with a movie that was out at the time. It was always like in "A Christmas Story" where Ralphie is looking at his BB Gun in the department store window. Such awe and wonderment.
I liked it, but it wasn't enough. I think if you haven't read the book, you'd be kinda lost as to why everything was happening so quickly. They don't take enough time to develop the characters or storyline at all. I think they made the movie with the assumption that everyone who was going to see it had read the book beforehand. I also know they had a very small budget to work with. Hopefully the second movie will be better! 
I was NOT in the mood for this. I almost lost it right there and then. There was about to be a throw down in the tram loading area. My mind was swirling with so many emotions, all I could do was just just stand there looking at her. During my confusion, the woman shoved into the family that was already seated, before she cut me off, to allow her fully grown adult daughter to sit next to her. 
The park sure was crowded, which is not a good sign for being somewhat early to the parks. When I got to RBT the line was LONG! 
There was no way I wasn't going to be enjoying a Mark Twain, so I stuck it up and waited in line. It took about an hour of standing in a crowded line, in what felt like 100 degree temperature, but finally I got my Mark Twain, and all was right with the world. I went out to the patio to enjoy some fresh air and my yummy breakfast.
When I got back outside, I decided to check my voicemail and call my mom to let her know I was still alive. When I listened to my messages, there was one from Cheryl saying she was in the park and invited me to join up with her and some of the other DIS ladies!
