If anyone finds out what surplus shop is receiving all the old WDW trash cans that are being replaced, can you please consider me being the first person you tell? 👉🏻🥺👈🏻

Next year I need a better fog machine. But this will do for inside the tomb. The hand raising will need to be approved upon, but for this year, I’m spent.

I’m so flipping over fog machines. I have spent way too much of my life trying to fix.

First test with the hand. Sadly I was trying to test with my fog machine and it’s broken. 😭

This is a great shot pre-1959 to see how the Midget Autopia and Jr. Autopia were adjacent to one another. Jr. Autopia essentially boarded close to the backside of Le Petite Chalet. 1/2

Our HHN with EE (no express) was successful (for us), but didn’t complete Hellraiser/Evil Dead because we’re old. Despite Darren and Poley suggestion, we started in the lower lot since ST5 is the first to open. 1/3

This is such a fascinating shot of the Adventureland entrance from the 50s to me. This little side waterway/stream and walkway around it looks lovely. Pre-tiki room and Tahitian Terrace complex. CHECK OUT THAT SIDE BRIDGE!

Ok, I liked Mario Kart probably way more than most. I am way behind on all of this but have watched so many videos on this. I know all the complaints, but me personally? F’N LOVED IT.

Sadly ST5 maze didn’t do it for me, but likely because I wanted too much. I was too in love with that last scene.

Fast and Furious broke for 40 min and waited almost two hours, but it was 100% worth it. Loved it! Top 3 without a doubt.

Today at Disneyland you can't visit Don DeFore's Silver Banjo Barbecue, nor can you visit the guerrilla historical marker the DeFore family repeatedly put up in the 2000s. BUT you can still see where that plaque was glued behind the tree!

Unofficial historical marker in Frontierland at Disneyland, reading, "Disneyland Historical Site. On this site from 1957 to 1961 stood Don DeFore's Silver Banjo Barbecue Restaurant-finest barbecue this side of the Mississippi!"

Eating area at Disneyland. The plaque was glued just above where the trunk splits.

Yesterday, as Atlantic Dance Hall closed for normal ops, marked 18 years since Pleasure Island closed, including Adventurers Club. But Kungaloosh! You can still find masks from Adventurers Club inside Explorer’s Club Restaurant in Hong Kong! Just look for the eyes that move…

I know they have been projecting on Matterhorn for fireworks for forever, but is this a new projector? Assume some hiding will come later. Looks fresh.

It’s wild to me that Astros and Rangers are a virtual tie for 1st place on the last day of the season and they are below 500! Astros hold the tie breaker.

The look of pure enjoyment on everyone’s faces as they stop to watch the Blind Tiger performance in Gore-ing 20s is the reason this event is the best of the theme park haunts. The only emotion HHN regularly evokes is frustration.
