More to her left (right of the picture) would probably be in the lagoon. If you were talking about today, I think it's a popcorn stand just outside the Pooh area (BOO!)daguruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08543597008377424381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-49859010815725902792009-03-19T18:42:00.000-07:002009-03-19T18:42:00.000-07:00Thanks for all of the info, everybody!

The castle and carousel would be to our left.<BR/><BR/>Great WDW pics!

The first shot is taken near to where the Dumbo attraction sits. The towered building in the distance houses the Pinocchio Village Haus restaurant and It's A Small World. Just beyond that one can see the Fantasyland Skway chalet and, if I'm not mistaken, one can just make out some of the rooftop features of the Haunted Mansion. If the photographer were to walk backwards he would find him or herself in the 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea lagoon. God, how I miss that attraction! Especially after seeing the Nautilus at Disneyland Paris last Sunday!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-53691723463329022782009-03-19T04:53:00.000-07:002009-03-19T04:53:00.000-07:00Rare shots Major.
