Been wanting to post this picture, but I never had a quiet moment to check into photobucket. Finally got that chance tonight, so here is a try. I have seen the cats at DLR but not in this location.

I have kind of an odd request - didn't know if any of you could help. A friend is asking for any pictures of the interior of Harpers Mill (there is a Harpers Mill in DL, right? ) for their autistic child. Apparently it is giving the child a heck of a time and they can't find any pictures of it online. I would appreciate any help anyone could give!

The one at DL has been converted to Pirate's Lair, so "Harper's Mill" is now called "Lafitte's Tavern", apparently. According to Wikipedia, there may not be pictures of the inside because they do Fantasmic on the island:

"It is rumored that most of the mechanics needed for the show are inside the mill."

The one at WDW, on the other hand, apparently does have an interior. There are some pictures on these pages,

Hope that helps!

Added: Confirmation that you cannot go inside the one at DL,

"Lafitte's Tavern is the former Harper's Mill which has been part of Tom Sawyer Island since its inception. Despite the Explorer's Map lively description of the place, guests cannot actually enter the Tavern."

Canyon girl, wow! What an amazing photo of the cat above the Mickey floral. Very very cool!

wazowskiLOVER, That's a terrific shot of the detail on the Haunted Mansion!

NostalgicDad, I'll never get tired of your fireworks photos. Beautiful!!!

Here's one of the surviving Hidden Nemos along the queue of the Submarine Voyage. I loved all the Hidden Nemos and was sad when they removed most of them. I'm still not sure why they did that though.

Joe, there is a Water Mill on the Island

...It is now the Blacksmith Shop, owned by William Turner.

And the inside... Is this what you were after? I do have a few more photo's inside this area.

Joe......I saw that post on the Nikon Cafe and I was only able to find some from a distance that I provided. It sounded like your friend was able to print those out that seemed to help a bit. But, it looks like Robert TG has some of what your friend is really after......gears and the inside of the mill.

Nice job, Robert TG! Always take those obscure shots because you never know when they may come in handy like in this situation.

Thank you ! Thats so nice to say

Thanks and thanks to Armadillo4. I had seen the cats by Hungry Bear Restaurant before, but never in such a crowded location. This was taken the Friday before Halloween, so you know it was bonkers around dark. The cat appeared to be watching the Tink light display. After awhile, he moved toward the left and appeared to catch something in the hedge. He was fun to watch!

Thanks guys, Disers are the best... appreciate the help! Danny, the friend is actually a Flickr friend, but I'm certain it's the same person. That would be extremely odd if more than one person had a request such as that!

Danny, that's a BEAUTIFUL photo from Big Thunder Ranch/Santa's Reindeer Roundup! Your night shots are really amazing. And I can't believe that Christmas is almost here.

Since your photo put me in the mood...this is Mickey and Minnie from A Christmas Fantasy Parade.

Thanks, Armadillo4! Yep, Christmas will be here before we know it. And, I like the colors and clarity in that shot of Mickey and Minnie.
