China Photos 12

Time for lunch at the Main Street Corner Cafe.
It was around 1:30 in the afternoon and the place was not very busy.
Lunch was delicious. I had penne with American meatballs (whatever that means) in a cream sauce. To drink I had a pink grapefruit Sprite with fruit and mint in it.
What character is more perfect for a balloon than Beymax? I watched Big Hero 6 on the flight over. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it.
Cast members were playing this little game with a kid. It was on a map of the park.
The back of the Main Street Station.
There is a little exhibit on the art of animation in the Opera House.
A nice nod to the Florida park.
There was a corner of the exhibit devoted to Tyrus Wong, a Chinese immigrant to the U.S. who was the lead artist on Bambi. He was inducted as a Disney Legend in 2001 and is still alive and kicking at the ripe old age of 104.
Inside the Art of Animation is one of these things. It's a turntable with a lot of figures. Oh hell, it's easier to just show you than to describe it. Click here for the video. It's a little herky-jerky looking because of the strobe light and the video frame rate, but I think you can still get the idea.
Even though lunch was quite filling I couldn't resist something sweet. You and I would call this a chocolate doughnut but in the Market House Bakery on Main Street it was called a chocolate circle bun.
Another band.
I have been to Marceline, Missouri, Walt Disney's hometown, and I didn't see a hotel like this.
Since this was such a small park I decided to actually watch the 3:00 parade.
Three Chinese women made up as Western princesses. I don't know exactly what they do to their eyes, but that combined with light-colored makeup is fairly effective.
I think this Tinker Bell was American.
I knew there would be a Frozen meet and greet here.
Tarzan's Treehouse with a Jungle River Cruise boat going past.
Mmm, Korean squid.
Main Street staples, the city hall and firehouse.
The Emporium doesn't look good all covered up, but at least it was open. When I visited Tokyo Disneyland it was closed there.
A less busy photo of the train station.
Another small Chinese bird and a flower.
The Hong Kong Disneyland version of the Tom Tom Club.
An American Western band comprised of five Chinese people and one American.
I didn't noticed the first time through that the benches in Toy Story Land were made of giant popsicle sticks.
