Talk about traveling in style.<br /><br />Melissa, I have never been 100% clear on whether that was intentional, or a happy accident.<br /><br />Chuck, I think I need to watch “So I Married An Axe Murderer” again. I love those old expressionist horror movies - I like to imagine a tiny Nosferatu creeping around the shadows! Even at 5 inches tall, he’d still be scary.<br /><br />Patrick Devlin, I didn’t notice it… it had to be pointed out to me by one of GDB’s readers in the comments!<br /><br />Jonathan, you are welcome. As the years go by, I value these original attractions more and more; let’s hope Storybook Land stays around for another 60 years.<br /><br />Melissa, OK, first I need to catch up on Russian classic literature, and then read the <i>Borrowers</i> books!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-43775331089826811522018-03-25T11:42:57.853-07:002018-03-25T11:42:57.853-07:00Storybookland always makes me think of The Borrowe...Storybookland always makes me think of <i>The Borrowers Aloft.</i>Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-25513379595574669262018-03-25T09:55:34.246-07:002018-03-25T09:55:34.246-07:00Can't get enough of pics taken in Storybook La...Can't get enough of pics taken in Storybook Land. I love the attention to detail and also would love to shrink to Lilliput size and walk the streets. I also love the original attractions best.

MOVE!" <br /><br />While that melon's partially obscuring our view of Toad Hall and its gardens, you can make out Ratty's boat, tied up to the bank between the Hall and the other canal boat, at about 70-75° N latitude on that cranium. That's always been one of my favorite details of a place full of favorite details.<br /><br />"German Expressionist buildings." Next time I ride at night, I'll imagine a tiny mob of torch-and-pitchfork-wielding villagers marching to the old mill to burn it to the ground with that unholy monster inside. Boy, will they be surprised to find Arendelle there instead. (I hope they burn it to the ground anyway.)Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-49237276190123773842018-03-25T01:25:22.568-07:002018-03-25T01:25:22.568-07:00What a cool effect, with the Matterhorn behind the...What a cool effect, with the Matterhorn behind the little snow-capped mountains!
