Morrell & Company offers one of the finest selections of wine and liquors through its mail order catalog, so it was tempting to visit this new restaurant with its extensive wine list.

The Wine Bar is at the front of a tiny restaurant (space is precious in this part of Manhattan), and cigarette smokers lined the bar as we were taken to our table mere feet away (surprisingly, the smokers did not disturb us). There are only seats for about forty diners, and the food menu is limited. But the wine list is vast, interesting and worth delving into.

Ample mounds of salad, a smoked trout appetizer, cream soup made from root vegetables and topped with black truffle oil, crusted salmon, duck, lamb and hanger steak make for a nice selection, balancing out a dinner which features wine as the main course. Desserts were acceptable, but not surprisingly, the after-dinner wine and liquor menu was extensive and expensive.

Service wasn't great-I ordered a glass of wine twice before I got it-but the waiter was nice. Three of four dinners were served, the fourth following several minutes later. Utensils were not readily available for the main course, and in spite of having ordered bottled water at the start of our meal, the bus boy kept refilling our glasses with tap water.

Next door to the café is Morrell & Company Wine & Sprits Merchants' shop. It's worth browsing through. Have your credit card handy!

DISNEYLAND RESORT
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA
By Philip Kippel

Located in the heart of Southern California, Disneyland-The Happiest Place on Earth-is a magical vacation resort destination with something for everyone, including two theme parks, three resort hotels and even an entertainment district.

In the heart of the Resort is a beautiful Esplanade, which serves as a gateway to the two fun-filled theme parks:

Disneyland Park-Where the magic began

Walt Disney's original "Magic Kingdom," since its opening on July 17, 1955, has delighted millions. In the main entrance area, a giant floral Mickey Mouse face welcomes guests to this world of enchantment, which is divided into eight themed lands filled with timeless fantasy and fun:

Main Street, U.S.A.

This turn-of-the-century American town is a pretty thoroughfare where brass bands, barbershop quartets and ragtime pianists entertain passersby; fire engines, horse-drawn streetcars, horseless carriages and omnibuses travel down the streets and picturesque buildings and gaslights line the sidewalks. Also, guests can watch classic Disney cartoons in the Main Street Cinema and play old-fashioned coin-operated games in the Penny Arcade. Attractions include:

Disneyland Railroad: Guests board one of four steam-powered locomotives for a relaxing train ride around the park. The trains also make stops at New Orleans Square, Mickey's Toontown and Tomorrowland.

This scenic grand-circle tour around the park climaxes with a journey along the rim of the Grand Canyon Diorama, which depicts animals and plants that inhabit the famous Arizona landmark, and the Primeval World, which features 46 audio-animatronic dinosaurs in prehistoric settings.

The Walt Disney Story featuring Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln: Housed in the Disneyland Opera House, guests can learn about the lives and accomplishments of two extraordinary men: Walter Elias Disney and Abraham Lincoln.

In the pre-show lobby, guests find a series of nostalgic Disney artifacts and watch a short film about Walt Disney's life.

Next, guests enter the main theater for "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln"-a dramatization that was first introduced at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair. It evolves around the history of our 16th President, which begins with a slide show chronicling some of Lincoln's greatest achievements and climaxes with a speech given by a realistic audio-animatronic recreation of Lincoln.

At the end of Main Street lies The Hub, which surrounds a life-size bronze statue of Walt and Mickey called "Partners," surrounded by smaller statues of other Disney characters. This central plaza also serves as a gateway to the rest of the park's themed lands.

Adventureland

Themed as a 1930s jungle outpost, this South Seas locale is filled with excitement and several tropical attractions, including:

Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room: This lively musical revue, housed in a Polynesian complex, was introduced in 1963 as the park's first audio-animatronic show.

The show stars four feathered emcees (Jose, Michael, Pierre and Fritz) and a cast of 225 singing birds, crooning flowers and chanting Tiki gods, who perform tropical tunes.

Jungle Cruise: Departing from a boat house, guests take an adventurous voyage down the tropical rivers of the world aboard river launches piloted by wise-cracking skippers. The boats pass through ancient Cambodian ruins, go under Schweitzer Falls and encounter numerous animals and natives.

Tarzan's Treehouse: Guests enter this high-rise apartment by climbing a make-shift staircase and suspension bridge. Inside the tree, the story of the famous jungle wild man comes to life. At the base of the tree, guests can visit an interactive area and experiment with scientific equipment that Jane (Tarzan's true love) and her father brought into the jungle.

Indiana Jones Adventure: This exciting surprise-filled ride, based on the Indiana Jones movies, takes guests on a perilous journey through the Temple of the Forbidden Eye, which was built to honor a powerful god named Mara, who could look into a person's soul and grant one of three gifts-unlimited wealth, eternal youth or future knowledge, though a terrible fate awaits those who look into Mara's eyes.

Guests are taken on a fast-paced trip through the temple aboard 1930s troop transports, which race through an underworld filled with skeletons, fires, bugs, lava, snakes, poisonous darts, a quaking suspension bridge and a gigantic rolling ball. Hold on tight!

Frontierland

This American frontier celebrates the pioneering spirit of the old west. Guests can take a cruise down the Rivers of America aboard the Mark Twain Riverboat or Sailing Ship Columbia, watch live western stage shows at the Golden Horseshoe Saloon and experience these attractions:

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad: Inspired by Utah's Bryce Canyon and named after a sacred Wyoming mountain that thundered when someone tried to take its gold, guests board mine trains, which depart from the mining town of Big Thunder, for a wild roller coaster ride through this rocky mountain. During the trip, the trains speed past dark bat caves, giant stalactites and stalagmites, waterfalls, various desert animals, a natural arch bridge and caving mine walls.

Frontierland Shootin' Exposition: At this shooting gallery, set in an 1850s western town in Boot Hill, guests can grab one of 18 infra-red rifles and take aim at many reactive targets, which trigger humorous surprises.

Tom Sawyer Island: Rafts transport guests to and from this natural stomping ground set in the middle of the Rivers of America. Among the island's many wonders are Harper's Cider Mill, a treehouse, a floating barrel bridge, a suspension bridge, Castle Rock, Injun Joe's Cave and Fort Wilderness.

New Orleans Square

This "jazzy" Louisiana-style city street embraces the charm and elegance of old New Orleans. This French-Quarter town is also home to two of the park's most famous attractions:

Pirates of the Caribbean: This boat cruise takes guests on a rollicking adventure with the rowdiest band of pirates that ever sacked the Spanish Main, as they witness a crew of swashbucklers plundering and pillaging an old Caribbean town.

The Haunted Mansion: This innocent-looking, but spooky, old house is home to 999 happy haunts. Inside, a "Ghost Host" takes guests on a frightful but fun-filled tour of the mansion and its happy haunting grounds.

Also, guests can view spectacular Disney artwork and even see exhibits about Disneyland's history and newest additions in The Disney Gallery.

Critter Country

Everyday is a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah day in this peaceful backwoods getaway. Its fun-filled attractions include:

Splash Mountain: This log flume ride, based on the animated sequences of the 1946 Disney film Song of the South, takes guests on a waterborne journey through forests, bayous and caves, down waterfalls and even a trip down a five-story spillway into a thorny briar patch.

During the splashy (and tuneful) trip, the passengers pass numerous audio-animatronic critters while following the adventures of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and Brer Bear.

Country Bear Playhouse: This rustic woodland theater house treats guests to a hand-clappin', foot-stompin' country/western "Vacation Hoedown," which features 20 lifelike audio-animatronic musical bruins-among them: Henry (the show's emcee), the 5 Bear Rugs, Liver Lips McGrowl, Teddi Barra and Big Al.

During the wild and wooly musical revue, the bears play musical instruments, tell some jokes and perform toe-tappin' tunes. Above the theater, three talking animal trophy heads (Melvin the Moose, Buff the Buffalo & Max the Stag) "hang around" to heckle the performers.

At Christmastime, the bears put on a special holiday show.

Teddi Barra's Swingin' Arcade: Named after the "swingin'" female Country Bear Playhouse star, this small entertainment center allows guests to try their hand at several western-themed arcade games.

Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes: On these real canoes, guests, with the guidance of a helmsman and sternman, can paddle down the Rivers of America on this trackless attraction.

Fantasyland

Here, in the happiest kingdom of them all, guests find themselves in a beautiful fairy tale village, where fantasies and favorite Disney characters and stories come to life. Its enchanting attractions include:

Sleeping Beauty Castle: This gigantic medieval fortress, surrounded by a moat, serves as an entrance to Fantasyland and is the symbol of Disneyland Park.

Inside is a walk-through attraction, where a series of dioramas tell the Sleeping Beauty story, scene by scene. Near the castle is Snow White Grotto, which features statues of Snow White and her friends and a wishing well.

Peter Pan's Flight: Based on the 1953 Disney classic Peter Pan, guests board flying pirate ships, which fly through the home of the Darling family, over the streets of London and "past the second star to the right and straight on 'til morning," arriving at Never Land. The Passengers also encounter some of the film's memorable characters including Peter Pan himself, Tinker Bell, Wendy, John, Michael, Captain Hook, Mr. Smee and the crocodile.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride: Based on 1949's The Adventures Of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, this zany attraction takes guests on a wild ride through jolly old England along the road to "nowhere in particular," aboard Mr. Toad's motorcar.

Alice in Wonderland: Based on the 1951 Disney classic of the same name, guests board oversized caterpillars for a whimsical journey through Wonderland-a weird and curious place inhabited by such bizarre characters as Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and even the ill-tempered Queen Of Hearts.

Ariel's Grotto: Guests can meet and greet Ariel, the lovely star of The Little Mermaid in person, at this beautiful little grotto and even try to dodge squirting fountains while passing through the nearby Triton Gardens.

Pinocchio's Daring Journey: Based on 1940's Pinocchio, guests follow the adventures of the little wooden boy as he encounters many evil characters and dangerous places and situations while trying to find his way back home to his father/creator Geppetto. Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio's conscience, guides the way through the ride's many scenes, which include Stromboli's Puppet Theater, Pleasure Island and the Pinocchio Village.

Snow White's Scary Adventures: Disney's landmark 1937 animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs inspires this ride, which travels through the dwarfs' cottage, the diamond mines, the Evil Queen's castle and the frightening forest, while dodging the nasty Wicked Witch and her poisoned apples.

King Arthur Carousel: 72 horses take guests on a magical spin in the middle of Fantasyland. Nine hand-painted panels in the carousel's main face tell the Sleeping Beauty story.

Dumbo the Flying Elephant: This attraction takes guests on a spinning flight above Fantasyland aboard one of 16 flying "Dumbos" under the watchful eye of Timothy Mouse. Nearby, a vintage organ plays music.

Mad Tea Party: Inspired by Alice in Wonderland's "Un-birthday" party, guests board one of many oversized colorful teacups for a dizzying spin.

Storybook Land Canal Boats: On this boat ride, guests float leisurely past miniatures of scenes and landmarks from such Disney tales as The Three Little Pigs, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Aladdin, Snow White, Cinderella, Mr. Toad, Pinocchio, The Old Mill and The Little Mermaid.

Casey Jr. Circus Train: Board a recreation of the little circus train from Dumbo (complete with animal cages) for a speedy ride above Storybook Land.

Matterhorn Bobsleds: This snow-capped peak, inspired by the famous mountain in Switzerland, invites guests to take a thrilling bobsled ride down its icy slopes, through its cold and windy crystal caves inhabited by a fearsome abominable snowman and splashdown in an alpine lake.

It's a Small World: A large, colorful façade (decorated with stylized representations of world landmarks), ticking clock tower (which "performs the time" every 15 minutes) and animal topiary gardens beckon guests to enter this boat cruise attraction, first introduced at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair. During the "happiest cruise that ever sailed," the guests float past 300 singing audio-animatronic children from 100 different countries, plus animals and moving toys, figures and mementos from their native homelands.

At Christmastime, the attraction becomes It's a Small World Holiday, complete with colorful holiday decorations, scenery and music.

Mickey's Toontown

Mickey Mouse and his cartoon pals invite you to step into their hometown-a wacky and colorful cartoon community where "toons" live, work and play:

Downtown Toontown (Toontown's "business" zone): Here, guests will find a fountain featuring Roger Rabbit, a crashed runaway safe, a talking police phone and "mousehole," a Fireworks Factory, a Fire Department, a Power House, a Dog Pound, a camera shop, a Post Office with talking mailboxes and Horace Horsecollar's Gym.

The Toontown Cab Co. is home to the chaotic ride Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, where guests board toon cabs and take a wild, dizzying ride through Toontown while following Roger and Benny the Cab as they try to save Jessica Rabbit (Roger's wife) and their hometown from the dreaded weasels, while avoiding the toons' ultimate weakness-"The Dip."

Transportation down the streets of Toontown is supplied by the rocking and rolling wind-up toy-like Jolly Trolley.

Toon Square (The middle of Toontown): This section is home to local businesses and institutions like the Toontown Skool, the Department of Ink & Paint, the 3rd Little Piggy Bank and Goofy's Gas.

Nearby, kids can frolic in Toon Park.

When Toontown's residents emerge to meet and greet park guests, the City Hall's colorful "Clockenspiel" springs to life-mallets strike bells, toon gloves pull whistles and figures of Mickey and Roger pop out of cannons to blow flower-spouting horns.

Mickey's Neighborhood (Toontown's residential area): Here, guests can visit the whimsical homes of some of Toontown's famous residents, which surround a fountain featuring Mickey, at the base of the Toon Hills, which have their own version of the Hollywood sign.

Kids can bounce around in Goofy's Bounce House, explore Chip 'n' Dale's Treehouse and climb aboard Donald Duck's boat-the Miss Daisy.

Guests can ride Gadget's Go Coaster-a small roller coaster built by Gadget, the inventive girl mouse from the Disney animated TV series, Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers, using various objects and acorns (which are the ride's vehicles).

Guests can also visit Minnie's House and Mickey's House, where they can meet the big cheese himself in his Movie Barn.

Tomorrowland

In this "world of the future," inspired by the works and visions of famous futurists like Jules Verne, Leonardo Da Vinci, H.G. Wells, Galileo and even Walt Disney, guests find out-of-this-world thrills, including these exciting attractions:

Astro Orbiter: On this giant whirligig, guests board two-passenger rocket vehicles for a spinning flight above Tomorrowland.

Star Tours: Based on the Star Wars movies, guests on this exciting simulator ride board one of four Star-Speeder 3,000 vehicles for a wild and bumpy ride through space en route to the moon of Endor.

Honey, I Shrunk The Audience: Based on Disney's Honey… movies, this surprising special effects-oriented 3-D movie invites guests to an annual open house at the Imagination Institute, where Professor Wayne Szalinski is to receive the "Inventor of the Year" Award for his inventions, including his incredible shrinking/enlarging machine. Unfortunately, things go wrong, with one mishap occurring after another!

Space Mountain: This metallic green and copper-coated peak invites guests to board space vehicles, each equipped with custom music scores, for a dark high-speed rollercoaster ride through the galaxies.

Autopia: Here, guests can board futuristic cars and take to the road for a fun drive through 21st-century terrain…and no license is required.

Disneyland Monorail: This modern transportation system, first introduced at Disneyland in 1959 as the western hemisphere's first daily-operating monorail system, takes guests on a relaxing round-trip between Tomorrowland and the Downtown Disney district. Also in Tomorrowland, guests can preview new/futuristic products with a wise-cracking robot named Tom Morrow at Innoventions, frolic in a wave and water-spewing hypnotic fountain at Cosmic Waves, play action-packed arcade games at Starcade and visit a mini-space museum called The American Space Experience.

The Observatron towers above Tomorrowland, beaming electronic messages into space and coming to life when an orchestrated music score plays every 15 minutes. Nearby is a recreation of an old Disneyland icon, the Moonliner rocket.

Entertainment

Throughout the year, Disneyland Park offers a wide variety of live entertainment including entertainers, street musicians, "Streetmosphere" characters, singing troupes, bands, variety acts, parades, fireworks spectaculars and live stage shows. Sometimes, Mickey and Goofy scale the Matterhorn!

One of the park's most popular entertainment highlights is Fantasmic!, a nighttime spectacular that takes place on the Rivers of America and journeys through Mickey's incredible imagination. He uses his powers to create amazing wonders featuring scenes and characters from favorite Disney classics, but when the terrifying Disney Villains intrude on his fantasies and turn his dreams into nightmares, he uses the powers of good to triumph over the forces of evil.

Also throughout the park, many of the world-famous Disney characters appear like magic in different areas to meet and greet guests, pose for pictures and sign autographs.

Disney's California Adventure-A fun new state of Disney magic

Here, at the Disneyland Resort's second theme park, which replaces Disneyland Park's original parking lot, guests can experience some of the many wonders of America's golden state.

In the Entry Plaza, huge letters spell out CALIFORNIA and the Disneyland Monorails cross a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge. Guests can also see giant California picture postcards.

A huge sun icon features a mirror that bounces rays from the real sun onto the icon's reflective surfaces, creating magnificent welcomes.

The park is divided into 3 major districts:

Hollywood Pictures Backlot

The spotlight is on you in this star-studded city and mock production studio and movie backlot, set amid the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown. Its star attractions include:

Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3-D: This entertaining attraction stars the lovable Muppet characters in a hilarious 3-D movie, filled with surprising special effects and plenty of Muppet mayhem.

Disney Animation: In a tribute to the artistry that went into creating Disney's many animated motion pictures, this magical pavilion invites guests to step into the world of Disney animation.

In the lobby, guests find themselves in a room that displays scenes from Disney animated films-the pictures change every few minutes, making you "end up" in a different film world.

At "The Animation Screening Room", a short film where Walter Cronkite and Robin Williams show what important elements go into making animated films, titled "Back To Never Land", is shown.

Guests are also provided with opportunities to create some cartoon magic of their own in the "Sorcerer's Workshop", lend their voices to Disney characters in "Ursula's Grotto" and even find out which Disney characters their personalities are most like at the "Beast's Library".

Superstar Limo: On this fast-paced ride, guests have been flown to Hollywood to sign a big movie deal and board chauffeured limos to get to the Chinese Theater on time. During the ride, the limo driver decides to take a "short cut" through an over-the-top version of Tinseltown, passing several familiar Southern California landmarks and famous celebrities.

This district celebrates California's diverse geographies, lifestyles and cultures in several different areas, which include:

Condor Flats: This airfield, inspired by the Vandenburg Air Force Base, pays tribute to aviation. Here, guests can enter a huge aircraft hangar for the exciting IMAX simulator ride Soarin' Over California which takes passengers on an exhilarating sensory flight above some of the golden state's most famous cities and landmarks…suspended 40 feet in the air!

Grizzly Peak Recreation Area: This mini-wilderness, filled with tall trees and hiking trails, salutes California's rural areas and is home to Grizzly Peak-the towering symbol of Disney's California Adventure.

On Grizzly River Run, guests board circular rafts for a drenching high-speed waterborne tour of Grizzly Peak (which was once a gold mine, according to legend). The adventure begins with a trip up a 45-foot hill, then the rafts spin and splash along the river, encounter geysers and go down big drops.

Nearby is the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, a campsite-style obstacle course which features slides, rocks for climbing, rope bridges, floating logs and climbable cargo netting connecting treetops to keep the climbers on their feet. The ranger's station has towers for climbing.

Bountiful Valley Farm: This area celebrates California's rich agricultural heritage. Here, guests will find rural roadside stands and culinary staples integrated into healthy snacks and meals, plus hands-on activities where they can learn farming basics. There's even a sprinkler maze for kids.

Beneath the valley, in the "A Bug's Life Theater," guests will find another in-your-face special effects-oriented 3-D movie attraction-It's Tough to Be a Bug, which features Flik and Hopper from the film A Bug's Life and some other "buggy" characters, who prove that insects deserve more respect, since THEY help make our world a better place.

Pacific Wharf: This area, inspired by Monterey (California's cannery row,) salutes the cultures, products and industries that make California international in nature. Guests can watch people make sourdough bread at The Boudin Bakery and tortillas at the Mission Tortilla Factory.

Golden Vine Winery: The Napa Valley wine region inspires this area. At Seasons of the Vine, guests can take a narrated tour through the world of wine-making, which reveals the scientific nature of wine production. At the end, they'll get chances to taste the wines.

The Bay Area: In this area, inspired by San Francisco and its Palace of Fine Arts, guests will find the movie Golden Dreams, where the goddess Califia, who the state is named after, takes them on an emotional journey through California's history.

Paradise Pier

This seaside district takes guests back in time to the days of California's old boardwalk amusement parks. Its nostalgic, but technologically-advanced attractions include:

California Screamin': On this steel roller coaster, disguised as a wooden one, guests board long coaster trains, each with built-in custom music scores, for a 55 mph ride.

The trip begins under the Paradise Pier lagoon, where a wave catapults the trains up the track. The trains then travel down huge drops, through blue "scream" tubes and even do a loop in a giant Mickey head!

Sun Wheel: This 150-foot Ferris Wheel, centered by a large smiling sun and inspired by Coney Island's famed Wonder Wheel, takes guests on a head-spinning trip. Most of its cabins rotate in and out along the wheel's interior while a few remain fixed on the edge for those who prefer a calmer trip.

Orange Stinger: On this swing ride, guests board large buzzing bees, who swarm in a frenzy inside an enormous orange peel.

Mulholland Madness: Guests on this small Mad Mouse coaster can experience the hectic nature of California's freeways aboard small cars which careen past street signs, billboards, roadblocks, detours and crowded intersections.

Jumpin' Jellyfish: A kelp bed tops this attraction, where guests ride in giant jellyfish-like seats, which float to the top then parachute back down to the ground.

SS Rustworthy: At this leaky, grounded fireboat, young guests can get showered by spurting water and even explore the boat, squirt fire hoses and spin the captain's wheel.

Maliboomer: This rocketing ride resembles those bell-ringing "slam machines," with a twist-guests become the high-flying projectiles on this 180-foot slam machine. When the gong sounds, the guests are launched skyward, hit the target and fall back down amidst bells and flashing lights.

King Triton's Carousel: On this deep-sea-themed carousel, guests can take a spin under the sea aboard sea horses and other different sea creatures.

Golden Zephyr: Resembling the old rocket swing rides of the past, guests board Buck Rogers-style rockets for a scenic spin above the lagoon.

Games of the Boardwalk: Guests can try their hand at prize-winning, carnival-style games themed to sea creatures and Californian locales.

Entertainment

Disney's Eureka!-A California Parade celebrates California's rich diversities, with spectacular floats and dazzling performers.

In the Hollywood Pictures Backlot, guests can enjoy live stage shows at the Hyperion Theater and Backlot Stage.

At Grizzly Peak's Ahwahnee Camp Fire Circle, animal tales and folklore are shared through story and song.

Guests may also run into various "Streetmosphere" characters throughout the park's districts.

Guests can also find the Disney characters "on vacation" in DCA as well, meeting and greeting guests, posing for pictures and signing autographs…just like at their homes in Disneyland Park.

Disney's FASTPASS

Guests who choose not to wait in line at some of the most popular attractions in the Disneyland Resort theme parks can take advantage of this complimentary ride reservation system that allows them to spend less time waiting in line and more time enjoying the rest of the parks.

At these attractions, you'll find two clocks: one designating a return time for FASTPASS, the other estimating the wait time in the regular Stand-By line.

Guests choosing FASTPASS simply insert their theme park admission tickets into one of several machines located near the attraction's entrance that print out free tickets, which display designated times during which to return to that attraction and experience it with a minimal wait! FASTPASS is currently available on the following attractions:

Autopia, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, The Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones Adventure, Pirates of the Caribbean, Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Star Tours.
