Talk about serendipitous timing, I'm actually heading to Disneyland TODAY! This wonderful MOC by builder LEGDOC represents our cross country cousin in Florida, but they both have the same magic. It depicts the Main Street U.S.A. Station, the "hub", Cinderella's Castle, Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland and the new Fantasyland.
Me and Mrs BrickNerd were considering visiting Disneyland this weekend, but then this showed up in the mail. Yes, thanks to a little Disney magic, pixie dust and LEGO generosity we're bringing Disneyland to us. Yes, technically this is from Magic Kingdom in Florida, and we're west coasters, but we love Disney World too, just can't get there as often. This is going to be an epic build, so we're going to split it into two days. Starting this Friday, Sept 16th at 9am PST and continuing on Saturday at 9am PST we're going to tackle this mighty but magical set, join us!
We all know what a Disney geek I am, we go to Disneyland all time despite the fact that it's over three hours away. And as much as I love Space Mountain, I rarely ride it. The line is always long, and when you're a frequent visitor like us, we just don't do long lines (it'll be there next time). Plus there's something about the geometry of the ride vehicle and my body, it just beats the crap out of me every time I ride. I never rode the one in Orlando though, and I didn't realize the cars were different, as illustrated here in this absolutely brilliant MOC by jtheels. So perhaps on my next visit to Florida I'll give it a go. And now I want to be at Disneyland...
I love Disneyland, I was just there last weekend and I'm ready to go back. And seeing this beautiful MOC by builder Swan Dutchman makes me want to go back even more. This is the gateway to Disneyland, just past the entrance where we leave the real world behind and go "inside the berm". Sharp eyed fans will notice something a little amiss, because that's a Florida train at the California station. We'll just call it a magical mashup.
