But that was close to forty years ago and the evening crowds were much less...crowded.<br /><br />Of course, I jumped off at the bookstore.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-25793870151129439172011-07-20T23:45:15.781-07:002011-07-20T23:45:15.781-07:00Anon #1, E.J.

Peaker was a young actress who gained some fame in the Disney community for being in an episode of "The Wonderful World of Color" called "Disneyland After Dark" in which she, Kurt Russell, and the Osmond brothers run amok in Disneyland. It gave much of the public their first glimpse at the new Haunted Mansion. And yes, they rode the Omnibus!<br /><br />Anon #2, do you think that the headlights are just "dummies" that don't work?

When we arrive and when we leave, we're usually preoccupied with just strolling up and down Main St. Sometimes during the day, we'll take an hour or so and ride all of the vehicles up and back.

Does sound smart as the Street is very, very packed at closing. I did think that the horsey-less types did operate later into the evening.<br />My bad but that does make sense. <br />That said, I still like the Omnibus ride, heheheheheehehe.Thuferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692445357659425688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-17867502021720473322011-07-20T11:58:57.211-07:002011-07-20T11:58:57.211-07:00Let's climb up to the second level of the Omni...Let's climb up to the second level of the Omnibus....Connie can pretend she's E.J.

Maybe because the street can get pretty crazy when all the guests are starting to slowly work their way out of the park.<br /><br />JG, are you sure you don't mean Ca-razy??Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-87697247947115598452011-07-20T09:18:07.707-07:002011-07-20T09:18:07.707-07:00Fun!
