Random Ramblings Around The Parks - "Almost" Wordless Wednesday

We're back! Well, sort of. We won't be back to full speed for a couple of weeks yet, unfortunately. And we promise to let you guys know exactly what has been going on that's kept us away for so long, though we can't promise it's particularly enthralling.

In the meantime though, we did manage a recent trip into The Park for some photos we thought we could share today. We hope that you'll like them as much as we did taking them.

Enjoy!

You have to start your "Day" off right

Knowing who we get to draw ahead of time? Score!

It was unfortunately closed, and all we got was this pretty cool picture

With a cold beverage in hand, one of the best views in The Parks

Drink from the cup that is Jessica? #ThatAintRight

We think that Randall gets a bad rap. He cares!

She's waving directly at Chad. He just knows it!

Chicken Alfredo and "Remember..." at the Plaza Inn to end the day. Pretty much perfect in every way.

"Almost" Wordless Wednesday: One Last Holiday Evening

We've said it before, but it bears saying again, that one of our favorite pastimes is the simple act of just strolling around The Parks of the Disneyland Resort and just taking random pictures throughout our Days (and Nights!).

For all of the problems modern technology and its ease can create sometimes, it's also a wonderful tool!  Almost no-one uses a standard camera with film anymore (watch us get flamed now!), and sometimes it's just not feasible (or desirable) to carry around a DSLR with you all over The Parks if you don't have to.  Enter the cell phone!

Many times in the past we've used pictures for our "Almost" Wordless Wednesday that were taken exclusively with Chad (or Mark's!) DROID, and this week is one of those weeks.  We like the way they turned out, and agree with us or not, there's an "old-time" simplicity to them that newer cameras just can't match!

We took this week's shots last week, actually, on the last official day of Holidays at The Disneyland Resort, on January 8th.  One last evening out to enjoy the seasonal festivities, and these are just some of our favorites from that night.

Enjoy!

Free donuts? A good thing to shout out anytime, emergency or not!

One of our favorite shots in EITHER Park, bar none - we've taken it MANY times before!

We can only assume that Santa is hard at work already on the 2012 edition of his "Naughty/Nice" list

One last picture of the castle all blinged out - until next year!

We never cease to be amazed by decor in the store (hey, that rhymed!)

A burgeoning artist? Nah! Thank God for the artists who tell us HOW to draw these!
