Thanks Adam, Yes I love DL's Toontown a lot more that WDW's, it's bigger and is more like toontown online the game you can play through Disney you know. It was really cool, I just wish I didn't have to run from building to buliding to dodge the rain. I don't remember if I did or not. I'll have to look in my pictures.

sorry about the lack of TR today, I have been sleeping most of the day. I got up really early this morning. More TR up soon I hope.

I loved your pictures and TR. Toontown is AWESOME there. They should make it like that at WDW

**lilo88** · 03-11-2009, 06:52 PM

Thanks, I think they should too, but I think they are lacking land unless they go under the train tracks like they did in DL.

I forgot I hadn't uploaded my pictures from Thursday yet so they are uploading now. And I'll have more TR tonight sometime I hope.

Had Walt lived this would have been his apartment. Yes, it was right above the Pirate's ride! He died before he had a chance to see it completed

Club 33 is to the left of this store. The entrance is a nondescript door with the number 33 on an oval placard. You would have to know it was there as it is very easy to miss

Above the firehouse is the apartment that Walt had spent a lot of nights in while the park was being built. The window right above the open door is where the lamp is always on signifying that Walt's spirit lives on and is the park.

Great trip report as it brought back a lot of memories of my visits to DL

We got up and left around 9:50 for the trip to Hollywood. It took forever to get there because of Traffic! There was two accidents to. On the way here are some pictures...

There is the Hollywood sign behind the crappy building

I'll be cropping that picture soon
Sunset Blvd.

We headed for the Disney Soda fountain first so we could take a much needed potty break! We parked behind the building for $10.00 for a day and walked around the corner to the Disney Soda Fountain. They were very nice in there and we ordered 2 drinks, I got a real cherry coke and mom got a Dr. Pepper/ Mr. Pib.
The Disney Valt!

We left and began our sight seeing of the stars! We saw Winnie the Pooh

This is Disneyland's star but it's really blurry

We saw a bunch of stars but I'm only going to show a few of them. As there is way to many to show them all
Heres where they have American Idol!

There was alot of construction going on on Hollywood blv. Heres the chinese theater

How many people knew Big Bird had a star?!?!

to be continued

**lilo88** · 03-11-2009, 08:20 PM

there was a bunch of actors and actress dress up like stars, we got our picture with a really badly dressed Marlin Monroe. Then she wanted a tip after the fact... rude but whatever

I saw a fat Jack Sparrow, another wierd-o Jack Sparrow and several others lol.

I would have walked around the foot prints more but there was people hounding you to get pictures and give you deals on tours and such. Very annoying
we used the restroom in McDonalds and then headed on back to the car for the trip to Redeo Dr.

We got back at the hotel and then I went swimming for awhile. I took some pictures but I show them in the next installment of TR. Good night!

I bet the Disney Soda Shop was cool. Those people in front of the theatre must be really desperate for money! That is rude!

**wallfan329** · 03-11-2009, 09:42 PM

The Soda Shop had to be so cool. The people dressed up s the actors/actresses were rude. They did not even look like the real ones. What people would do now a days to get money

Yup. They were very rude and tacky!

I have no desire to go back to Hollywood again, it's not all that at all

**lilo88** · 03-12-2009, 02:45 PM

Here are some of the pic I didn't show yesterday when we got back to the hotel...

and that is all from inside the hotel!!

very cool!

I stayed in for dinner, I had a sub and my parents went out for a dinner. They sat outside by a fireplace at some place in The Distric where we had ate earlier in the week at.

next up... flying home
