The Halloween Tree at Disneyland
I have gone there at least a million times since February, and just came across it today. I know I went by it at least a million times. Seeing it was one of the highlights of my day there. I did take some photos and put them on Facebook. Crappy ones, because some kid took forever to read the plaque. We have passes, so I'll more than likely take better photos earlier in the day.

I have photos, somewhere, from year before last. I guess I should share?

Your best bet is to go on the morning of a bright but overcast day. You want to get there before the morning haze is burned away by the afternoon sun. The angle of that plaque combined with the black background and highly-reflective plexiglass cover makes it very, very hard to get clean, reflection-free photos.

It's still worth the trouble, of course, with all that Mugnaini artwork on the plaque. Smiler

Not funny really... the kid was a total punk. He KNEW I was fixin' to take photos, but insisted on standing there. *le sigh*

No, what was funny was that you said "because some kid took forever to read the plaque." It just struck me as funny.

Also "le sigh". I didn't even know you were French.

I friended you.

Friended is a good word.

I suppose it WAS funny since it was a short read. I think the le sigh was from Pepe LePew, but am a bit French.
