BACK TO DISNEYLAND

Yep! I've been to Disneyland again and the thing that caught my attention this time was the tram that connects the parking structure with the park. I especially liked the lecture the conductor played. It sounded like a poem...well, sort of.




Was it really poetry? Listen to the video above and judge for yourself!


I'd love to have been a beatnik poet in the 50s reciting this in a coffee house...


UNCLE EDDIE: "Okay, okay...I call this thing 'The Tram.' Here's how it goes...."

Hello everybody! 
Welcome aboard the Mickey and Friends Tram!
As a courtesy to other passengers
We ask that there be no eating,
drinking or smoking on board.


For your safety remain seated
With your hands, arms and legs inside, and...
And supervise children.
Be sure to hold on to hats, glasses and any loose items...
Items that could fall from the train.


If an article should fall,
Please stay seated until the next stop, 
And inform the nearest cast member.



Before entering the park,
I'd like to remind you, 
that smoking isn't permitted, 
Except in designated... 
....areas.


As a courtesy to other passengers we ask,
That there be no eating, smoking or drinking on board.
And now....
...In just a few moments, we will arrive at...
...The  Disneyland  Resort  Entrance  Plaza!
Thank you!


The crowd expresses its approval.


UNCLE EDDIE: "Drat! 'Plaza' didn't rhyme with 'board.'


BTW: Thanks to Mark for taking the great Disneyland photo!
