I guess the folks who go to Disneyland have better things to do than to take pictures all day. I guess I'm still stuck in the WDW mentality of take pics of everything. I think I need to learn the Southern Californian easy going spirit.

Hmmm I don't have a picture of the big California for some odd reason. I like this game because it makes me think of things to document for my next trip that I've missed previously. I'm one who takes pictures all day at Disneyland and California Adventures. I'll take pictures of anything and everything that catches my little eye! Someone can change the topic if they want...

I'm fortunate to have some DCA ones since I spent majority of Tuesday there. If it's too big I can resize it. I just plucked this off of my Flickr account.

I've never been to DCA...just DL once. Are they doing maintenance on the wheel there or something? Doesn't it normally have seats on it?

They are removing the sun face and replacing it with a Mickey face. They removed all the gondolas to make it much easier for it to remove the sun. Here's a link to more pictures of the renovation.

The Mickey face on the wall is going to be on the wheel.

Awesome...thanks for the info! I'm hoping I can go to DCA if I ever get back to that side of the country.

They won't be finished by 2012 with the expansion plan so you have all the time in the world to come visit.

Drat!!! I only have this one, without reposting my earlier DCA Paradise Pier Picture. I REALLY need to take more pictures over at DCA.

That's what DL5 is for! Hopefully then you will get a lot of them.

I'm actually thinking of doing a Photowalk during the Meet. For those who don't know what a photowalk is:

That's what I tried to do on Tuesday when I went. I updated my Flickr with a bunch of pictures because of it. If I decide to go to DL5, I'll do that.
