Birds and Flowers

Auberge de Cendrillon in Fantasyland, Paris, is a nice and enjoyable venue for dining. But if you do get to go here for a meal, be sure to take in the surroundings as well.

Looking closely at the columns placed around this area of the dining room, you can see some beautiful Disney details!

Lightning's Headquarters

In Walt Disney Studios, you can happen across Lightning McQueen's Racing Headquarters, right in Radiator Springs.

And when you do, be sure to check out some of the awesome sponsors and contributors.

I think my favourite has to be Gasprin!

Fountain With Wings

There is too much to look at in the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, but one of the focal points is the beautiful water fountain in the reception area.

Take a closer look at the top of the fountain, if you can.

This is a great nod to the overall theming of the Hotel, reflecting the love of British 20th Century literature.

The Beauty Within

We've spent some time around the Disneyland Hotel in Tokyo, but now it's time to properly step inside and appreciate the interior of Tokyo's newest place of residence.

Just take a look at the height of the hotel inside. You can easily see that the Imagineers closely modelled this hotel on 20th century Victorian architecture, with nods to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa in Walt Disney World.

And whilst we're having a look around, don't forget to Look Up, like we enjoy doing here at DF'82.

What a ceiling!

Enjoying a Moment...Sepia Main Street

Main Street U.S.A. is the best! Okay, that might be quite a bit of a statement, but it is one area of the parks (especially Disneyland Paris) which makes you really feel like you are in good ol' days.

Which is why today's moment is one which makes us feel like we are in the past - albeit a wet past.

Feeling a Little Goofy

Here's another fun postcard from Tokyo Disneyland, showing the newly added to Toontown attraction, Goofy's Paint 'n' Play House.

Doesn't it look like fun?!

Updates to Pirouettes

New readers to DF'82 will be unfamiliar with the Old Mill, situated in Fantasyland in Disneyland Paris. It is an attraction of yesterland and has more recently been turned into a quick-service snack area.

I have some more recent shots of what used to be Les Pirouettes Du Vieuz Moulin (The Spinning Old Mill), which help us see how good Imagineers are of keeping everything in theme.

Here we can see the old entrance, complete with sign. 

The old loading area.

 And as we can see, differently to previous shots, the mill baskets have now been completely removed!
