Re: HO Lilly on excursion........

Re: Monorail. A unique question.

Re: Ode to Disney in G

A nebulizer might work if you were able to force the mist from a chamber through a thin wide slot. It would be an inverted version of the Davy Jones projection screen from Pirates of the Caribbean.

This was slated to replace the Mary Blair exhibit next month, but it looks like there could be a scheduling issue. From the Disneyland Railroad Facebook page: Okay, the Disneyland Railroad exhibit at The Disney Gallery has been pushed to late November - HOWEVER, it might get pushed again for a holid...

Re: New Fantasyland Station

I see that the old water tower is still there. I hope that they make some improvements to the look of that as well. Not to sound insulting to the WDWRR fans but it looks kind of cheap.
