There is some fantastic early 1960s footage of the DRR and of Disneyland in there - thanks for the link! It was neat seeing footage of the then Frontierland station in actual use by passengers. Also, I remember in the pre-internet days when TV specials like that were the only way that I could ever s...

Re: HLW Lilly Belle at MK Christmas Tree is Back

Every year I am absolutely stunned by how quickly all of the Disney theme parks swap out the Halloween decorations and replace them with the Christmas ones. Poor Thanksgiving gets totally left out though with those two powerhouse holidays gobbling it up from both ends!

Re: Disneyland Railroad Down For Track Replacement

The DRR reopened right on time: https://wdwnt.com/2024/10/disneyland-railroad-reopen-tiana-bayou-narration/ It is just me or does Disneyland just not seem "normal" unless the DRR is open and the Main Street Station announcements are heard clearly as you enter the park? "Your attention...

UP Big Boy 4014 on Jay Leno's Garage

Here is a little mash up of two of my life-long obsessions, cars and steam locomotives. Jay Leno is one of the world's most famous gear heads. His car and motorcycle collection is massive and well known. Unlike many "gear heads" in Hollywood though, Jay always rolls up his sleeves and gets...

Re: Disneyland Railroad Down For Track Replacement

Note that the camera person filming that video is sitting in the front car of the Disneyland Monorail. It seems that they are allowing guests to sit up there again after a few years of those seats being off limits.
