Wednesday Photo Challenge Answer: Aladdin’s Oasis

By

Every Wednesday we test your DLR knowledge with a photograph taken somewhere in the Disneyland Resort.  Here’s the answer:

The peacock sits at the apex of the archway to Aladdin’s Oasis.

I considered this to be an easy challenge. We got a lot of close-but-incorrect answers. To be honest if I wsn’t the guy issuing the challenge I wouldn’t have known.

Many guesses were in the ballpark, guessing attractions and decor in Adventureland, but only one hit the bullseye:

And to those who gave it a shot, thank you so much for participating!

We’ll have a new one for you next week, so when you’re in the Disneyland Resort (Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney and all of the Disney hotels), keep your eyes peeled and take in everything.

Wednesday Photo Challenge 11-9-11

By

Every Wednesday I will post a photo and issue a challenge for our readers to answer a question about it. So far we only have a handful of players and someone has always guessed right.

What, are the rest of you chicken? It doesn’t hurt to guess.

No one’s gonna laugh at you if you get it wrong.

Days in the Park stumps me every time, no one’s laughed at me yet! Give it a try. 🙂

This Wednesday’s Challenge is this:

Where in the Disneyland Resort does this peacock hang out? 

If you know the answer to this one, or think you know the answer, drop me a line.

You can do this by:

Leaving a comment here (certanly the simplest way)

Send me a direct message on Twitter (@disgeekpaul)

or drop me an e-mail: paul@disgeek.com.

I’ll keep your answers hidden so that more people can guess, therefore YOU will be able to see your answer, but no one else will. I need to keep it going as long as I can and give everyone a fair shot at it.

Tomorrow morning I’ll post the names of players who guessed correctly and reveal a new photo with the correct answer.

Have a great magical, and happy Humpday!

Wednesday Photo Challenge Answer: Grizzly River Run

By

Every Wednesday we test your DLR knowledge with a photograph taken somewhere in the Disneyland Resort.  Here it is:

We had some  good guesses, but only three correct ones.

A lot of people breeze right past this waterfall. Some people, uninterested in the attraction, walk on by without even looking. In fact you have to kind of go into this attraction to find this spot.

Though this attraction is one of what I call the “Big 3” rides at Disney California Adventure (referring to what I believe were the only 3 good rides in DCA before the big refurb), I have personally only been on Grizzly River Run  twice.

I often wear jeans to the park, and jeans take forever to dry. More often than not, one can get pretty wet on this ride, so I tend to avoid it most times. I do think it’s a fun ride though.

Even if I don’t ride,  this is still a great attraction for me. I love nature, rivers, and waterfalls. My favorite place in California (besides the Disneyland Resort) is Yosemite National Park. The Grizzly Peak Recreation Area does a good enough job of recreating the majestic Sierra Nevada and the northern coastal Redwood forest, that this is my favorite part of DCA.

The only thing missing is a nice restaurant, and I mean within the Grizzly Peak area. The ones inside the Grand Californian Hotel are very good, but they are kind of far off the beaten path. Something like the Hungry Bear restaurant, around Grizzly River, would be nice.

Many places surrounding Grizzly River Run are great places to stop for a moment and cool down in the mist coming off of the falls, especially on those really hot days.

 

Here is the list of this week’s winners:

Alison Hodgson (keep it up and I’m going to get you a trophy or something!) 😉
