A Tisket, A Tasket

In the heart of Disneyland there’s a wonderful place full of miniature houses, knee-high castles and tiny trees. You can view Storybook Land from the canal boats, if you’re brave enough to sail into Monstro’s whale-sized mouth. You’ll pass Pinocchio’s village, Toad Hall, and the homes of the three pigs at eye level. Aboard Casey Jr. you get a different view of Storybook Land. From the train that hauled Dumbo’s Circus, the garden of succulents looks more like the patchwork quilt from the 1933 Silly Symphony short, Lullaby Land. There once was a third way to see this magical place. Guests used to board the Skyway to the left of the Casey Jr. queue. They rode high over Storybook Land and through twin tunnels in the Matterhorn to Tomorrowland. You can still see the original boarding area (but not for long). Several smashed Skyway buckets are scattered around the Matterhorn; victims of the beast who lives there.
