Slide of the Week: November 9th, 2006

Disneyland Tour of Downtown Los Angeles, 2006

Disneyland Tour of Downtown Los Angeles, 2006

People often ask if I drive the bus – I could, but I can’t. The bus company won’t let me. And by-the-way this is no ordinary, run-of-the-mill tour bus. Oh no! It’s a school bus! And a very special vintage one at that! And by-the-way if, say, that tasty taquito snack on Olvera Street doesn’t agree with you and you get bus-sick, no problem. Don’t you worry about a thing! There is a BODY FLUID CLEAN UP KIT handy right behind me.

Yes fine folks, this Sunday Nov 12, is the final tour. There are a just a few seats left. For Tickets ‘n info click here.

But, there’s always a but, if you can’t take the tour in person you may experience the “Main Street USA”, “Frontierland”, “Adventurland”, “Fantasyland” and “Tomorrowland” of Downtown Los Angeles on YouTube.com. CHARLES PHOENIX’S DISNEYLAND TOUR OF DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES is now a short film (15min) by Zzalgernon.

Watch it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIaBThV1ekc

Here’s to the film, the filmaker and YOU!

    this photo is the very reason i fell in love with you so long ago.

  2. Bob Brooks Says:

    Charles,

    Congrats on another successful tour!

    I hope you did not have to use that “Body Fluid Clean-up Kit” much.

    Maybe for some of the folks sitting over the wheels!

    Regards,

    Bob

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Hi Charles,

    I took this tour with you 2 years ago and I can still remember it like it was yesterday….What a blast to see downtown LA with the eyes of a “disneyland” theme… I loved it. In fact, ‘its a small world’….excuse the pun..lol…I just last night looked at some of the photo’s I took that day..how ironic. For anyone reading…if you have the opportunity to take this tour with Charles…DO IT !!!!! Its a HOOT and you won’t be sorry.

    Enjoy and take care..
    All the best in everything.

    A very loyal fan,
    Love, Melanie :-) xoxo

  6. Tim Severs Says:

    One of these days I hope to make a tour. They sound like a lot of fun. In the meantime, I’ll check it out on youtube.com.

  7. DavidinBerkeley Says:

    This sort of thing is just the reason I miss L.A.

    I’ll be experiencing Charles Phoenix in a whole different way next week when I make his Beef Stroganoff recipe from an earlier slide-of-the-week. I’ll report here how it goes.

  8. Tom from Long Island Says:

    How I wish I could be on this tour with my best friend along. We’d have such a great time.
