Modern Day Miracles

After trying to find out who Herrick was, I stumbled upon an interesting excerpt on Private Proprietary Stamps.

Chinese Laundry

According to Wikipedia, Chinese Americans were heavily identified with laundry work in the late 19th and 20th century.  It is estimated that around 1900, one out of every four Chinese men worked in the laundry business.  This fact is used in the Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland as a part of its theming.  In addition, here is an article about the Chinese Laundries in San Diego, California and how they came about.

Having a Magical Time at Three O’Clock

If in the Magic Kingdom at three o’clock, be sure to stop by Main Street USA, Liberty Square, or Frontierland to catch A Dream Come True parade.

Luckily Pinocchio is there to remind you of the time as his float comes through the parade toward the front.

Vinylmations and Dancing Girls

This Vinylmation was purchased again as a gift.  This time I spent the extra money for Father’s Day.

This Vinylmation is limited to 400 pieces and was created by Lin Shih.  I could not fully investigate this Big Thunder Mountain Vinylmation because I had to keep up appearances, but on the back of the right ear, there is a Hidden Mickey in the clouds.

Colors of the Wind

Another addition to my collection of weathervanes is found on top of Splash Mountain in the Magic Kingdom. With the help of Ryan P. Wilson from The Main Street Gazette this small treasure was found as we loaded our log flume.
