As many of you know.. (or at least, the few of you who may know) my nice but old camera died a few weeks ago, and I am making ends meet with a cheap Olympus camera. What have I learned from this? Never ever to buy non-japanese brand photographic equipment. URGH! There is something so terribly wrong about bringing a cheap camera to TDR... it's just a deplorable situation. I feel like Malin. But any ways.. here are a few bad photos from my last quick evening visit to TDR.... but I warn you.. poor quality and blurry conditions ahead. Do not adjust your bifocals.
This tee caught my attention.. simply because at TDR and WDW (and I assume DLR too?) they have the Mickey version which reads.. "I don't bite". It is one of those very rare exceptions when similar merchandise from the USA has been on sale at TDR (or maybe it is vice-versa?). The other exception are pins.. some pins from the USA are now on sale at TDR as well.. That is what happens when you turn the US parks into Pin Trading bonanzas and over-produce the merchandise.

Of course.. this tee would be a hoot at WDW if it read.. "I do Bite... tourists from the UK and Brazil!"
Over at the blurry courtyard of the Ambassador Hotel...

Halloween is being celebrated at the Ambassador with lovely food menus and other halloween related amenities.. such as this masterfully presented treat. Tell me, besides ginger bread houses at Xmas times, do they do this type of food art at WDW on a regular basis? If I am not mistaken, the stitch/bat sillouette is edible chocolate.

Wash it down with what appears to be a Blue Hawaii cocktail.. Note the souvenir glass in this picture.

Restaurant Row at the Ambassador Hotel is decorated with halloween banners that I would love to have for my Disney Room Collection.


No budgets here.. I wonder if they ever decorate like this at the Contemporary Resort...




Yes, folks, those are edible cookies and pastries at the Tic Toc Cafe.

Over at Ikspiari's Disney Store, this lovely Cinderella statue has magically appeared, with the purpose of announcing some wedding services and merchandise I think.

The lovely Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, as seen from Bon Vogage.

TDLFAN's dinner at TDL's Plaza Restaurant (Think Noodle Station for those of you WDW regulars, only that ours is totally enclosed in air conditioned comfort, unlike the MK's). Nothing screams heaven as much as a curry and pork rice meal, with side salad and melon soda. Yum yum!

Reason why I hate cheap cameras.. You can't get a decent night time photo.

Inside TDL's most wonderful eatery, The Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall.


IASW is currently down for it's annual Xmas re-branding.

Yeah yeah.. the teacups. big deal.

Lovely window at the Pleasure Island Candy shop next to Pinocchio's Daring Journey. It has lighting effects that are more expensive than the MK's new Spectromen wigs.

There is always a crowd outside Pooh's Hunny Hunt. With reason.

Toontown's main gate decorated for Halloween.

I don't care what people say.. this Tomorrowland remains the most sleek looking of them all.

Finally, my visit comes to an end with the very minimal Halloween fireworks show.. which incidentally features a very nice soundtrack (shame OLC for not including it on this year's TDL halloween cd.) This show also has some nifty pyro shells that explode into cressent moon shapes, skelleton head shapes, and if I am not mistaken.. even Jack Skellington's face. Will have to pay closer attention next time I see it.

And so our blurry tour of some spots at TDR come to an end. Hope you enjoyed it, especially if you are a WDW fanatic.
