Not all of Disneyland is shiny and new -- some bits could definitely do with a bit of re-painting.. (this is a column you pass when queueing for the Alice in Wonderland ride)

(394x600, 42.9KB)		 Julia and Mary Poppins. (wonky because I scanned it from the index print after sending the original off somewhere)

(338x400, 21.9KB)		 The exit from Disneyland at night; lots of lit-up signs, but I mostly liked the pattern of light on the ground.

Yes, this is the right way up.

(800x531, 57.6KB)		 Main street at night -- there's a _lot_ of lights in Disneyland..

(800x546, 71.9KB)		 New Orleans Square at night -- again, they light the heck out of everything as soon as it gets dark.

(394x600, 44.1KB)		 Pirates of the Caribbean! It's surprising how little light you can get away with if you're careful -- this on Fuji 400 pushed to 1600 and the 50/1.4 wide open. It's dark in there even to the naked eye, so I'm pleased I even got this much.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on in this shot, but I liked all the different colours..

(800x563, 37.7KB)		 Everywhere you look, they've done something to make it look nice -- this is a train sitting on the side of the main lake you sail around on the steamboat.

(800x532, 108.7KB)		 It's A Small World by night; once again, huge amounts of light. I shudder to imagine what their electricity bill must be like.

The Tom Sawyer adventure island. Despite the fairly large numbers of people there, it didn't feel crowded at all -- I can't imagine what it must be like in peak season, though.

(800x537, 94.8KB)		 Us with the only Donald Duck-related bit of merchandise we could find anywhere. Donald gets no play these days, it seems.

(800x538, 50.7KB)		 Us in front of the Magic Castle. One of the few shots of us both not taken by me at arms length..
us_magic_castle.jpg
(396x600, 42.0KB)		 Us with Mickey and Minnie dressed as bride and groom. (I wonder if Mike and Eileen had these at their wedding?)
