Daily Photo Tour - Oswald's Gas and Garland


The glow on Oswald's was amazing as we entered DCA during our last visit and it was one of those times when there wasn't really time to stop and do much about it. I took this shot as we hustled further into Buena Vista Street. Hurried moments aren't usually my preference but in this case it was a sweet fleeting moment to enjoy the ambiance and a welcome challenge to try and capture it quickly. What was so pressing? Coffee...

Daily Photo Tour - Goddess of Speed


It doesn't get much classier than a Packard. So why would the hood ornament be anything less than the "goddess of speed"? She leads the way for this beautiful machine with grace and poise and this Packard leads the way at the entrance to DCA and Buena Vista Street, setting the tone and getting park goers in the mood.

Daily Photo Tour - Oswald's Filling Station


Oswald's filling station is one of the first things to greet you as you enter Buena Vista Street and one of the last glances you'll take as Disney Security bids you goodnight. A 1937 Packard sits parked at the station, ready to be fueled in all of its luxury and glory. Not to be missed are a few of the details hiding inside. Oswald, of course, is the name of Walt's animated lucky rabbit that preceded Mickey. The level of thoughtfulness and detail that's been added to DCA in Buena Vista Street and Cars Land are definitely on par with Disneyland and I so look forward to the many discoveries we'll make in coming trips. But first, I think I'll stop in at Oswald's for some refueling of my own!
