Visiting the Disneyland Resort On Force Friday

Hello there M.E. Readers.

Sorry I have been absent from my Disneyland Resort pictorials.

If you have been following me on Twitter, Instagram, and a bit on Facebook, you would have noticed that I was on the other side of the world, in Hong Kong.  Visiting Hong Kong Disneyland, of course. ... and the city.

Anyways, I am back and ready for another day at the Disneyland Resort.

In case you are wondering, I will have pictorials up of my Hong Kong Disneyland trip.  With a lot of pictures, time difference to readjust to, and today's pictorial, there's just a lot going on at the moment.

But I will start with what is familiar on a Friday, and that's this weeks Disneyland Resort pictorial.

So what are we waiting for?
Let's go!

Here is a small clip of the vehicle being tested.
Sorry about the shakiness. I was in the stationary cabin. But if anyone has ever been in those, just the slightest body movement, wind, or vibration (from the loading and unloading being done below), it can rock the gondola just enough to where it's hard to keep it steady.

  1. Welcome back to California! Saw the photos of the tram station in Hong Kong on your FB page. Looking forward to seeing photos of Hong Kong and HK Disneyland.

    About the plastic churro for sale: I am reminded of a visit to Las Vegas a few years ago. In the Coca Cola store near MGM, they were selling Christmas ornaments that looked exactly like empty Coke cans. I thought, what's the point? Similarly, who would want to buy a plastic churro? Unless it was a gag, to have a churro sitting on your table that someone tries to take a bite from.

    I enjoyed the caption with the goat in Big Thunder Ranch. Somehow I kept thinking about the phrase "lame duck." Though I read that the ranch will be used for the holiday season this November and December (but not the upcoming Halloween season) before it's closed for good in early January.

    I also try to take photos of the Skyway station when I visit. Still beautiful all these years after being closed. Although it would be nice if it could be moved to another site (Walt's barn in Griffith Park?), I think it's probably just waiting for a project to come along before TDA decides to tear it down.
