Getting in the car to head to Dismalland to take the kids minds off recent happenings; I love it when the clouds are so textured...

A few months ago, I was reminded of the little walk thru of Sleeping Beauty's Castle that I remembered from a long time ago. We searched for it a few months ago, and were unable to even find the doors into it - upon asking a "cast member," I was told that it had been closed several years previously because people were "being naughty" in there. This time we were tickled to find that it is once again open, with the doors where I remembered them, now with fancy awnings, a bit brighter lighting, and presumably, cameras to observe for mischief. All the little dioramas inside have been redone, adding animated bits here and there from the movie, like the flames from the burning spindles above.

Also tickled to hear this antique player (whatisit - organ? I'd say that but it also had brass instruments and percussion) that played "This is Halloween" and "What is This?" from Nightmare Before Christmas - if you put a quarter in, of course. My amusement in the arcade/candy store while the fry were running around putting nickels in the little hand-cranked silent movie machines - I don't know the proper name of those things either...
