Many times as CMs, we'd get a burger and fries at Oaks Tavern. It was quicker than going over to The Pit or Inn Between for a lunch or snack. We'd stand in line in our costume with the guests, then go back behind the gate and up to the break area above AJ's (as we called it). Left just before they changed the Oaks name in '78.

It closed in 1961 to allow expansion of the neighboring Aunt Jemima Pancake House. With subsequent name changes and remodeling, the restaurant became Aunt Jemima’s Kitchen, the Magnolia Tree Terrace, and now the River Belle Terrace</i>.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-91677338125559300942019-08-30T09:45:59.961-07:002019-08-30T09:45:59.961-07:00Great pic of the Mark Twain.

Do any of the GDBers know what it is today?

This little corner of the Park has been mostly terra incognita to me. I don't think I have ever sat on this patio or eaten at any of the snack bars, if so, I don't recall it. I've always thought of this area as "rustic" themed and it isn't at all. The trash can almost clashes with the rest of the scene, which is unusual in Disneyland.<br /><br />Chuck, that is a great story and memory. It's why we all come to GDB. My last visit was more fun since "Fantasmic" was shut down. I detest that show.<br /><br />Also I have never seen the band on the MT, although I have seen many pictures. What fun to have experienced that. Photo evidently predates construction of Cascade Peak and shows how important that mountain was in setting the scene.<br /><br />Thank you, Major. Have a good holiday time-off everyone.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-42619571420091949572019-08-30T09:14:30.579-07:002019-08-30T09:14:30.579-07:00@ Chuck-

That poor kid's got pitcher's arm; he poured one too many root beers for the family at the Golden Horseshoe. His pro drink serving days are over, I'm afraid.<br /><br />Suddenly reminded of what I think was my last childhood meal at Disneyland. I have no idea what I ate, but I remember it was in that outdoor seating area after dark, watching the <i>Twain</i> churn on by, gazing over at the Haunted Mansion with its dramatic nighttime lighting, and enjoying the "firefly" effect in the trees.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836717368846566211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-41222189782464444322019-08-30T01:05:39.471-07:002019-08-30T01:05:39.471-07:00@ Melissa-

I was all, like, "That guy's got a red jacket and a white hat, oh, and the next guy's got a red jacket and a white hat, and... Oh, right. It's the band." Takes me a minute, but I get there! And it was nice of the crowd on the shore to color-coordinate themselves in blues and grays.<br /><br />@Nanook, maybe he's just trying to make fart noises with his armpit <br /><br />Lovely, sunny pictures overall.

Love the 'flattop' themed trash can.<br /><br />The Mark Twain does look kinda 'dreamy' now, doesn't it-?<br /><br />Thanks, Major.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.com
