Back to the difficult ones... What ride is this from?

Answer:
In a way, this was a trick question. It should have read "What ride was this from?" (Past tense). This was the very short-lived Superstar Limos, the first ride to be permanently closed at California Adventure. It was shut down within months of the park's opening. Last year it was renovated and the building now houses the Monster's Inc.: Mike & Sully to the Rescue ride.

What is inside this building?

Answer:
This is the entrance to Blue Bayou, the most expensive public restaurant in Disneyland. The floor above houses the park's most expensive non-public restaurant. Blue Bayou was closed for the past couple months, while the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, which it shares the building with, was renovated. It reopened this past weekend with a much more expensive menu. The new dinner menu: the back, and the front -- those images are a little on the small side. You'll need to have your monitor set to a fairly low resolution to be able to read them. My system is set to 1600x1200, and these scans are unreadable at that setting!

I don't have any pictures from inside Blue Bayou (yet), so here are a few of the bleachers in front of the Pirates ride and the giant movie screen on Tom Sawyer Island that they built for this past weekend's red carpet premiere.

This is the desk and entrance to the Blue Bayou restaurant. My favorite place to eat.
-- You'd better bring a little more money with you next time! Fortunately for me, I never really cared much for Blue Bayou. The Monte Cristo, their best selling lunch item, pales in comparison to the one I had at the Pyramid Cafe at Luxor in Las Vegas.

The Blue Bayou restaurant.

Richard Blythe
A restaurant and a ride.

What’s with the guy in shorts with his shoe off?
-- Good question! I hadn't even noticed him!
