Both times I've gone to Disneyland recently, I made it a point to see the Ellis Island Boys play at the Paradise Garden Bandstand. I first saw Ralf (washboard) and John (guitar) Reynolds playing with the Reynolds Brothers Rhythm Rascals at the Sacramento Jazz Festival in 2005. They played great classic jazz then and now. Their grandmother was an actress in the 20s and 30s named ZaSu Pitts. And to close the circle, Ralf and Yehaa Bob Jackson knew each other and worked a lot together in Orlando in the distant past.


Fresh Off the Boat
 
There are other attractions in the Paradise Pier area. The side opposite the Fun Wheel and California Screamin' features The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Undersea Adventure. It's identical to WDW's Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid, except that DCA does not have a mile-long queue; the clam boarding area is right inside the door.


Tough Choices
 
It's amazing what you can discover on a rainy evening in DCA. I found this Kugel fountain with the spinnable granite Pixar ball near the carnival games at the back of Pixar Pier.
