Tax Day, Uncle Scrooge and a Disneyland Birthday

I thought in honor of Tax Day, I'd do a post about Scrooge McDuck (a "loosely" related post theme, I know!) This first picture was taken in Tokyo Disneyland's Toontown. Note the dollar signs on Scrooge's buttons!


Now we'll jump over to Tokyo Disneyland's sister park, Tokyo DisneySea. Here, Scrooge has his very own Department Store in the American Waterfront section of the park.

This fountain is located just outside of McDuck's Department Store.

Here's a close-up. The plaque on the fountain reads, "Naturally Pure Hudson River Water."

The interior of the store is decorated with Scrooge's likeness.

Today also happens to be Tokyo Disneyland's 27th birthday. I was in Tokyo last year for the 26th birthday and the opening of their Monsters Inc. attraction, and the year before that for their year-long 25th birthday celebration. I was supposed to be there this week for the 27th, but my plans fell through. :-(

Happy Birthday, Tokyo Disneyland!!!

Halloween Parade 2005, Part 2

I am going to keep the commentary short and sweet today. Today's post is a continuation of yesterday's. The photo's are from Tokyo Disneyland's Halloween Parade in 2005. Above is Scrooge's float......followed by Huey, Dewey and Louie.

Below, we have a wider view of the Pluto and Goofy float from yesterday.

Next, we have Chip and Dale (playing pumpkin guitars) along with that female chipmunk. Does she have a name?

And finally, we have Stitch, followed by the wicked witch from Snow White.
