The Happiest Place On Earth

Tinker Bell or Tinker Bill?

2007-04-20T04:25:00.000-07:00

Since there is much to be debated on the gender of this flying wonder, I will refer to Tink as It.
Here it is making the amazing trip from the top of Matterhorn Mountain, to her landing platform in fantasy land. There are all kinds of stories concerning the identity of tink. Some say that Tink is a definately a she and that she comes from a long line of women in a specific family that has dominated the role since the opening of the park. Others say that Tink is a man and that he would have to be in order to be heavy enough to pull it off physically. Some say that there are two different tinks, one is a robot and the other is a person. Perhaps the world will never know the truth.

This picture confirms that Tink was at one time, a woman. Since in most of the live presentations of Peter Pan, the boy who never wanted to grow up was played by a woman, it wouldn't be a problem to me if Tink was a man....

Born in 1924, in Vancouver, Bristish Columbia, the family moved to Los Angeles during the great Depression. At the young age of 10, Sam spent time working in Hollywood as an extra. At 18, Sam enlisted in the military and after a 14 month duty with the U.S. Army, he returned to Los Angeles to attend the Chouinard Art Institute. Sam began working for Disney in 1954 creating sketches for Disney's new theme park. In the course of the next 32 years, Sam's magical touch would reach every land inside Disneyland. Long known as the master map maker, Sam was the primary Disneyland souvernir map creator from 1958 to 1964. Sam's presence and endearing smile are present at many Disney events and his artwork is often displayed at the Disney Gallery.
In 1996, Sam McKim was named a Disney Legend.

This is over by the place where you pick up pictures that they take of you at the park. Sam McKim was the man that did all of the original drawings of disneyland.

Thanks for all of the wonderful participation and entertainment. The reason you may feel funny about pointing out the mickeys is because, once again, you need to tell us where in disneyland the picture was taken, not where in the picture the mickey is found. On these golden 50 mickeys, the location is almost as obvious, however a little more meaningful. Keep it up, and try to slow down a little when you type your name, it may help:) ( maybe it is easier to just type JEXY!)

This ride is classic. I know that half of the family can't stand to ride it, but I still think that it is a blast. Nothing like touring the galaxy in a giant space mini van from the 80's...

Oh come now Prince Philip. Why so melancholy? A glorious future lies before you - you, the destined hero, of a charming fairy tale come true. Behold - King Stephan's castle. And in yonder top most tower, dreaming of her true love, the Princess Aurora. But see the gracious whim of fate - why, 'tis the self-same peasant maid, who won the heart of our noble prince but yesterday. She is indeed, most wondrous fair. Gold of sunshine in her hair, lips that shame the red red rose. In ageless sleep, she finds repose. The years roll by, but a a hundred years to a steadfast heart, are but a day. And now, the gates of a dungeon part, and our prince is free to go his way. Off he rides, on his noble steed, a valiant figure, straight and tall! To wake his love with "loves' first kiss"! And prove that "true love" conquers all! AHAHAHAHAHA!

Disney Fire Dept.

2007-03-19T07:44:00.000-07:00

Here is a little bit of trivia for you. Walt Disney had the space above the Fire Department converted into his own private quarters. Sometimes he would spend the night there when he had late nights working at the park. One of his favorite things to do was to inspect the park in the morning before it opened and filled with people. After he died the living space was kept pretty much for family use. the lamp in the window above the garage stays lit in honor of Walt's memory. You know someone is in the apartment if the fire carriage is pulled out of the garage because it gets noisey in the apartment if they don't. You can find pictures of his quarters if you google it. Sometimes people get to have lunch in there when they win member's only contests.

its a long story

2007-03-16T11:26:00.000-07:00

This train has alot of history here at disneyland. Before big thunder there was a ride called Natures wonderland. This train with a few others like it, took passengers on a scenic tour through Beaver Valley, Bear Country and the living desert. Before it was used for that ride it was used in a ride called Rainbow Mountain. The train carried passengers through a cave with colorful water effects and multicolored stalactites and stalagmites. Now it and the remnants of the track from Natures wonderland can be seen from the trail as well as the river boats. If you look carefully you can see the ground hogs popping out of the passenger section.
