Walt Disney World and Disneyland(s) Discussion

[Coheteboy]

Looking to the Matterhorn Bobsleds, class of 1959 (along with monorail and submarines)

Archimedes getting acquainted with my giant squid friend.

The clouds were a nice "fantasyland" color today.

Santa's Reindeer were prancing about too..

And it's always fun when you see merchandise that makes you go "YES!!!" Here's one that has the PeopleMover on it.

Okay that's all for now!

Some pictures I took when I visited Disneyland Paris in the middle of November. It's a Small World was closed down for maintenance big shame because my girlfriend went with me for the first time and she hasn't seen it before. But luckily we bought 1 year access passes so we will be doing that attraction in the spring. (A one year pass is cheaper then a 3 day 2 parks ticket).

I'll add more pictures later.

Here are some of my photos from Disneyland Paris - October 2011

Great pictures, Elvis! You're lucky... I hear Paris has the best version of Pirates, Haunted Mansion, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!

I would say you have 2 of 3 correct. In my opinion nothing tops "Pirates..." at Disneyland California. The other 2 are indeed better. The Haunted Mansion (Phantom Manor) at Disneyland Paris is fantastic!

It great to see pictures of Disneyland Paris finally get posted on this thread!

With the original Disneyland and Walt Disney World under my belt, of all of the Disney Parks I've not yet visited, Disneyland Paris tops the list as the one park I'd like to visit the most.

Having covered Disneyland and Walt Disney World, I'd put Tokyo Disney Sea as the park I'd like to visit most. It's the most unique and from everyone I've spoken to who has done them all, they claim that the Tokyo Resort in general is among the best maintained and executed.

Gorgeous pics Elvis!
If I may what camera/lens are you using?

Nice, the tones and colors seem to very good on this camera.

Disney Sea comes a close second.

I just happened to have a daughter that is dying to see the real Paris (I guess she's not satisfied with the little wedge of it in World's Showcase ). That sort of tips the scale.

Looking forward to my next trip coming up in February!

Awesome pics in here once again. Since I've been so unproductive here are a couple of pic-videos my wife put together. The first is the most recent trip with my brother and his family. I'm the handsome chunker wearing the blue Guinness hat and my wife is the lovely lady in the sparkly Mickey Ears. And, yes, we like to mug.

Very nice pictures Elvis!

That resort looks very luxurious coke babies.

Some more pictures I took at Disneyland Paris last November:

And the video I shot not that great but it kinda gives an impression.

I love the look of Phantom Manor. Definitely has a strong Bates Motel vibe.

When are you visiting WDW coke?

I just ran the half marathon at Disney yesterday. It was an amazing experience. It's the first time I've ever run anything like that, so the months of training really paid off. Even better, I got to do it with a very good friend of mine. For those who don't know the course, you start on World Drive behind Epcot, run to the Magic Kingdom TTC, then back around past the contemporary, into the park, down mainstreet, over to tomorrowland into fantasy land, through the castle, to Liberty Square to Frontierland, then out the parade exit, then you take a back road past the Grand Floridian back to World Drive to Epcot where you run to the World showcase and then uturn and go back to the parking lot.

The voluntears, the other runners, the cast members all make it such an incredible and unique experience and for it to have been the first time I've done anything like that and to have done it with someone who means alot to me, it was truly incredible.

Yes, and the inside is sooo much better!

When are you visiting WDW coke? .

Early June. My wife is a teacher, so that unfortunately limits when we can go, and it tends to be on the busier side. But at least this time, since her school year starts earlier than most (August), it ends earlier than most.

Great video and other pics, you guys!

I did Disneyland last week to get one last look at the Christmas decorations. I'll post a flurry of pics soon! But here's a few to start...


(l-r) Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes, Sailing Ship Columbia, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Part of the scenery on Big Thunder Trail. Notice the flying fish on the bottom.

You can meet Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Big Thunder Ranch

And Pluto as a reindeer just for fun. His knees are getting dirty from kneeling down for pics.

Over at California Adventure.

A shot from A Bug's Land

Fly n' Buy shop in Condor Flats

A different view of Paradise Pier

Over in Hollywood Pictures Backlot (soon to be renamed Hollywood Land), you can find Jake of Jake and the Pirates.

A look at the new Walt & Mickey statue that will be put up in DCA this summer.
