He's kind of a klepto I guess.Katella Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562521359201308834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-73355349516159521132009-06-09T05:48:39.514-07:002009-06-09T05:48:39.514-07:00Now THAT'S theming!Now THAT'S theming!Capt.

Still could. Pirates are big. Between Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan and Tinker Bell stuff they could've used it. Oh well!<br /><br />Colorful spot with a touch of whimsy that helped to bring some 3-D spread and breadth to the spartan early Fantasyland. Casey Jr. back there's cute, and that's one of the biggest contributions by a specially painted up trash can I've ever seen heheChianahttp://www.exquisiteirony.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-838235234928617262009-06-09T00:11:01.226-07:002009-06-09T00:11:01.226-07:00Very nice photo today of a very much missed locati...Very nice photo today of a very much missed location!
