    Here is another from that same day, during the day. I really enjoyed this area of DCA.

    This was my daughter's favorite place to take pictures (of herself that is).

    Somthing in this photo is the wrong way around. Can you spot it?

    Did they send the car out backwards or run the ride in reverse that day?

    Both times I've gone to Disneyland recently, I made it a point to see the Ellis Island Boys play at the Paradise Garden Bandstand. I first saw Ralf (washboard) and John (guitar) Reynolds playing with the Reynolds Brothers Rhythm Rascals at the Sacramento Jazz Festival in 2005. They played great classic jazz then and now. Their grandmother was an actress in the 20s and 30s named ZaSu Pitts. And to close the circle, Ralf and Yehaa Bob Jackson knew each other and worked a lot together in Orlando in the distant past.

    There are other attractions in the Paradise Pier area. The side opposite the Fun Wheel and California Screamin' features The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Undersea Adventure. It's identical to WDW's Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid, except that DCA does not have a mile-long queue; the clam boarding area is right inside the door.

    This is the place to go if you want a crash course in flying.

    The exit of Toy Story Midway Mania in DCA features this quaint sitting room freaturing the ride's namesake game. I like to think of it as Andy's grandmother's house.

    It's amazing what you can discover on a rainy evening in DCA. I found this Kugel fountain with the spinnable granite Pixar ball near the carnival games at the back of Pixar Pier.
