Posing on Albert Einstein's chin


While he was posing for this photo, Mr. Hunter was nearly kidnapped by a passing teenager!  The young man grabbed Mr. H and started to walk off.  Yikes!

Caution A-Head

Disneyland likes its puns.

Mr. Hunter found this punny hat at the Autopia Winner's Circle shop in Tomorrowland.

Shrunken Ned

Mr. Hunter appreciates a corny pun now and then.
Here he is shopping in Adventureland -- at the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost, I believe.

Wild Ride

Mr. Hunter is a big fan of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, at Disneyland.
(Aren't we all?)
December 2005

Yes, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride takes a brief detour to... Hell.

The overconfident Mr. Toad and the reflective Mr. Hunter.

And a blast from the past: a 1970s ride in the Toady car.
This is long before we knew either Mr. Hunter.

It's a Small World

Mr. Hunter and his flat friends have learned that it is indeed a small world.

Steve's Flat Mr. Hunter got to visit Hong Kong Disneyland while on a tour of China.  Here he is with Hong Kong's It's a Small World.  Notice the umbrellas; Hong Kong was enjoying some torrential rain.

The real Mr. Hunter visited Disneyland Paris, although somehow I managed not to photograph him at It's a Small World there.

Mr. Potatohead

At Disney's California Adventure, there's a super-fun (and super-popular) ride called Toy Story Midway Mania.  The lines are usually long, but it's one of those rides that's worth the wait.

Here's Mr. Hunter with the boardwalk barker, Mr. Potatohead.

The Incredibles


An utterly satisfactory moment for Mr. Hunter.  We ran into Mr. and Mrs. Incredible outside the Animation Station at Disney's California Adventure.

Mr. Hunter has the ear of the Dark Lord of the Sith

Mr. Hunter was interested to hear that Legoland California is going to open 


Mr. H looks pretty satisfied on Darth Vader's shoulder!
