In fact, I also want my own Casey Jones and Canal Boats. I will ride them everyday.<br /><br />Moar Skull Rock! I have a great slide show collection of these pics, mostly your posts, and this one joins the parade.<br /><br />And I love Small World, sappy but true. These pics go straight to the desktop.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-63856292948570165542011-08-19T08:51:23.944-07:002011-08-19T08:51:23.944-07:00Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, said with Lawrenc...Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, said with Lawrence Welk accent.<br /><br />When I start designing my ginormous compound, remind me not to get ideas from you....LOL.Connie Morenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112860706520621190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-75485616345782450992011-08-19T06:22:08.288-07:002011-08-19T06:22:08.288-07:00yes, David, when they did the refurb they made the...yes, David, when they did the refurb they made the mural inside that is the picture of this beautiful DL exterior...which made me extremely happy :-)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895614694411482044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-21282671040438402672011-08-18T18:09:43.253-07:002011-08-18T18:09:43.253-07:00Nancy, doesn't the Florida version of IASW now...Nancy, doesn't the Florida version of IASW now have a sort of mini version of the Mary Blair exterior?<br /><br />Hannahx2, welcome! I agree with you, and love "Small World", but there are those Disneyland fans who find it grating and annoying. And Skull Rock (at night!) was definitely a memorable sight.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-3548009416635356602011-08-18T17:45:54.554-07:002011-08-18T17:45:54.554-07:00Been "following" this blog for a while b...Been "following" this blog for a while but now that I'm an official follower I'll leave my first comment :)<br /><br />I'd say the exterior to Small World is just as fun as the inside! Especially the tick-tock from the clock. For some reason that sound brings back memories. Love it!<br /><br />Skull Rock is looking exceptionally beautiful.

If they don't show any more skin than they did back in the old days, it should be OK, I'd think. <br /><br />I do have some slides from the 80's, in fact I just scanned a few and you should be seeing them on the blog soon.<br /><br />TM, I thought you would appreciate that phrase!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-63331627741924791282011-08-18T06:06:43.638-07:002011-08-18T06:06:43.638-07:00Well-built hand-picked honeys!

Then watch its subsequent releases lose footage... forget that...<br /><br />Cool ideas for your compound. ;) As for the façade... Day-glo Orange? Ah, you're anticipating what they'll do to it next time someone decides it needs "freshening up."<br /><br />Chi-chi-chi-chiana!<br /><br />Always liked the giraffe topiary. :)<br /><br />Oh Maj, up to what year have you found the 35mm slides like you usually feature?
