So I head down to the park today and thought I'd bring the camera
and get some shots of the park...
WELL...
Walls, Walls everywhere WALLS!
The Castle from the Hub:

Now I know things need to be refurbished but...
This just made me laugh!
The Train Station:
Main Street Hat Shop:
The shot of the Castle from Main Street:
Plaza Inn:
The Entrance to Plaza Inn:
Tinker Bell Toy Shop:

The Haunted Mansion:
The Exit to The Haunted Mansion:
Big Thunder Ranch:
And Yes... It's A Small World!
After all this I laughed and thought of paraphrasing Ronald Reagan ...
"MR. DISNEY, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!"

Pinocchio's Back!
I came across these ads [Christmas 1978]for Pinocchio
and thought how wonderful it was to see
it on the BIG Screen!

Then as I was driving down Hollywood Blvd. yesterday
and I saw the Marquee for the El Captain!!!!

YEAH!
Some things just need to be seen on the BIG SCREEN
the way they were intended.
