Disneyland Visit - 2016-02-07 - Main Street - Emporium - Frozen Diorama - Anna, Sven, Kristoff
Main Street Emporium. Animated window display for Frozen. Anna, Sven and Kristoff in front of Arendelle Castle.
I paid a visit to Disneyland today, Sunday February 7, 2016, from about 11 am to 6 pm. It was sunny and unseasonably warm (in the 80s), and I was surprised by how crowded it was.
I lined up to get a wristband for the 5 pm showing of Disney at the New York World's Fair at the Opera House on Main Street, which is one of the Disneyland AP Days events. They actually scanned your AP card once to get the wristband, and again before they would give your this weeks AP Days button. So they are really enforcing the 1 button per guest per week rule that was stated in the Disneyland article. It is two inches in diameter, and says 'Main Street to Mickey Mouse' which is this week's theme, and AP Days. It also has Walt and Mickey in front of the Main Street RR station.
After I got the AP Days goodies, I saw Cruella De Vil walking towards me in front of the Main Street RR station, after she had finished her meet and greet. She was in character as usual, and posed for me when she saw me taking photos of her.
I went to China Closet to try to get the newly released Precious Moments Ursula doll, but they were all sold out. They told me that she sold out almost immediately after she was released last Friday.
Then I went to DTD and did some shopping. I got a Hipster Mickey 9 inch vinylmation figure from WonderGround Gallery, for a fellow group member. He was $69.95, and looks pretty cool. But I don't collect Mickey, so I didn't get one for myself. They have plenty in stock so it shouldn't be hard for people to get one for themselves.
I got the #9 high score in Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. Then I went on a few more of my favorite rides - Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion. The lines weren't all that long, thankfully.
Then I went to see the AP Days showing of Disney at the World's Fair in the Opera House. I got there a little late, so the lobby was empty and the film was already started. I got the free bag of popcorn and small bottle of water, and was directed inside the theatre. It was basically a 60 minute episode of Disney's World of Color, which showed the background to their involvement in the New York World's Fair of 1964-65, as well as footage of their actual exhibits there, including It's a Small World. Walt Disney himself hosted the entire episode. Believe it or not, I actually went to that World's Fair, and saw all of Disney's exhibits, when I was grade school. It was fun seeing them again.
Finally, I photographed and video recorded a portion the Frozen animated diorama in the window display of the Emporium on Main Street. I will share the video in a separate post.
