Fortune and Glory

, 2 Comments on Fortune and Glory

If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile, then you know I love to attend the various unofficial theme days at Disneyland. Last weekend was Adventureland Day, inspired by the explorers, skippers, and tiki birds of Adventureland. It was rather chilly, it even rained, and the sun played hide and seek all day, so I opted for a simple and cozy outfit.

Myself, wearing a dark leather motorcycle jacket, and wide leg khaki pants, behind me old photographs of explorers hang next to an old steering wheel for a boat.

A sign on a corrugated tin roof reads "Adventureland"

Myself, wearing an olive green peasant top, a necklace with an image of a ruby eye hangs from my neck, and wide leg khaki pants, my leather jacket slung over my shoulder, standing in front of an old adobe wall.

Myself, wearing a dark leather motorcycle jacket, and wide leg khaki pants, a map of Africa hangs on the wall behind me.

Close-up of my necklace, "The Eye of Mara," a circular pendant with an eye with a ruby as the center, with rays radiating out from it.

A wall mounted roll top desk holds mail and books. Above it an old phone. A coat rack is above and to the right, from it hangs hats and bags. Below is an old bicycle.

Myself, wearing a dark leather motorcycle jacket, and wide leg khaki pants, leaning on an old, small wooden desk, an old file cabinet is behind me.

A large, hand-painted mural with a riverboat, reads "Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. Est. 1911. Passengers Freight. Riverboats departing from Adventureland Dock for the...Zambezi and Irrawaddy connecting with Riverboats to Schweitzer Falls and the Congo. Agents in Zanzibar - Calcutta. Gen. Trav. and Passenger Agent J.T. Sharp. Home Office 70 Thames Rd. London Eng."

And just yesterday marked the 25th anniversary of the Indiana Jones Adventure! I remember riding it the summer of ’95, and closing my eyes the entire time, I wasn’t the biggest fan of skeletons that leapt out at you. But now it and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad are tied for my favorite attractions.

You can see my looks from the previous two years here and here.
