I am going to Disneyland next Wednesday and Thursday and I am staying at the Disneyland Resort. We are going to DisneyLand and California Adventure. What should I look for? Are there actually hidden Mickeys on the rides and throughout the park? What about the Resort? Any or all information would be great so me and my 10 other family members can have a great experience.


Answer
You don't need to know a lot of background to have a good time at the parks. The attractions and entertainment should keep you well occupied during your visit. Since you are staying on-property, take advantage of Magic Morning on Thursday. This gets you into Disneyland an hour before regular opening and Fantasyland and Tomorrowland will be open.

Yes, Hidden Mickeys are everywhere. The two you're most likely to spot are the plates in the Haunted Mansion ballroom and the hanging barrels in the powder keg scene of Pirates of the Caribbean. I've linked a site that lists many more.

If you're interested in characters meetings, be sure to stop in at City Hall to inquire about your favorite character and when or where you can meet them. Character dining is also available at Ariel's Grotto in California Adventure or Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel. There are other character experiences around the resort as well, like Alice and the Mad Hatter playing musical chairs at Coke Corner or storytime at the Grand Californian Hotel.

Main Street is lined with windows honoring past people's contributions to the park. And if you listen, you can hear things like a dentist drilling or a piano lesson. Also, each story is smaller than the one below it. This is called "forced perspective" and is used to make the buildings appear taller without dwarfing the Castle. Both the Castle and the Matterhorn also use this technique.

Watch for the Wicked Queen to peer out at you from above Snow White's Scary Adventures. And in the queue, touch the apple to hear the Hag cackle.

Be sure to visit the newly reopened Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough featuring dioramas telling the story.

Imagineers often leave their mark, or honor a former building's resident. In Star Tours, all the Imagineers birthdays are written on the baskets overhead. On Finding Nemo, look for a rock-work mermaid and sea serpent near the end of the ride (a nod to the former Submarine Voyage). In Pooh's Adventures, hung above and behind you as you leave one of the rooms are three stuffed mounted heads from the Country Bear Jamboree which used to occupy the space.

Disney recycles! In the Star Tours queue look for two droids with webbed feet. These are stripped-down geese from America Sings. All the other animatronics from that show are housed in Splash Mountain.

Visit your library to find a copy of "101 Things You Never Knew About Disneyland" which details a lot of minute information about the park. In general, I can say keep your eyes, ears and nose open. Disney has done a lot to immerse you in an artificial environment and does so in a variety of ways. You can overhear a piano lesson on Main Street, an fortune teller in New Orleans Square, smell candy being made on Main Street, and see lots of little details that add to the ambiance of the park.

in the 1600's what trade goods came over from england? thanks


Answer
the famous institution of "triangle trade" by which raw materials were sent to the home country is the operant factor!molasses was shipped to europe and was manufactured into constituent products like candies,syrups,liquors,rum and many other products:the same is true of cottn from the southern colonies and tobacco for cigars,chewing tobacco and medicinal applications etc!
england was experiencing the very beginnings of waterwheel powered industries in stamping,cloth manufacture,sewing and weaving of the cotton raw material in the "industrial revolution"!england specialized in calicos and gaily printed fabrics by the bolt!whiskey,rums and lesser refined liquors were a major sales good produced from slavery's sugar plantatations in the caribbean and southern colonies growing areas!the entire north american continent was cover with hardwood forests yeilding walnut,cherrywood,oak and ash and other fine woods for furniture manufacturing,ship building elements for "ship's knees" and bulwarks...american oak being superior to and less deplieated than english forest stocks!furniture was a very important english product for tasteful clients...it was sturdy,artistic,well designed and elegant!chippendale styled occasional chairs,armoires,dining room tables and chairs and writing desks were key products of english factories and were recognised the world over!wood was also used in the manufacture of rifles,wheelwrights work on wagons and carridges,oxen yokes and farming tools manufactured in england!!buttons,needles,thread and notions gave england a reputation as a nation of shopkeepers and salespeople!these items as simple as they would seem required great refinements of manufacture and skill to efficiently and economically produce!these were the stuff of colonization and grew strong ties with the settlers of english extraction who relied upon the home country to produce and supply them and at a decent price and abundant quantity that would tend to preclude "make-do" native american equivalent efforts or attempts at independant production!!paper and books made from wood products from america were important as literacy became more widespread and proven beneficial to england's colonial ends although it tended to raise certain dissatisfactions long-term!britain did it's best to maintain certain monopolies in cannon founderies,gunpowder manufacturing,axes and other such implements to limit settlers abilities at release themselves from their dependancy and to flee to freedom in the west beyond taxation,percentages owed to "the crown" and other such vexations!many millions of acres of hardwood forest were absolutely destroyed in the manufacture of charcoal to be shipped back to england for the making of iron and steel!!products that were rarely if ever shipped back for native consumption except as tools and trade goods unavailable within the colonial backwoods!no mining was encouraged in the colonies..even the "bog iron" from ponds from meteorites was exported in many cases back to england and away from colonial forges!
