[mvf-m11c]

1. I think it's the Storybookland Canal Boats. It's gotta be in Fantasyland though from the trash can in the photo.

2. All I know is Toontown. I'm drawing a blank on anything else.

3. Tomorrowland between Autopia and Innoventions.

4. Only my favorite place EVER! The Mint Julep Bar behind French market in NOS.

5. Paradise Pier in DCA. I don't know more specific than that.

1. That is correct

2. You are right about that, I should have given a better description of which sign this belongs too. The exit sign is RRCS.

3. You are right about that. I like the alien bathroom signs in Tomorrowland.

4.

5. Yes, this is right by King Triton's Carousel of the Sea.

Day 1 – January 21, 2011 – Part 9​

Sry everyone for doing this late today since I had a basketball game and had work after it. It was kind of tough for my team today which gave up a big lead and lost badly to a team that we should had defeat. Now is time to get back to my TR on Friday.

Lets see now where did I left off after writing and posting some of my guessing signs during my visit. Oh yeah I left off after Casey Jr. Circus Train sign. After taking pics of the signs around CJCT, than I looked across the other side of the Village Haus restaurant. Finally its opened after being in a long refurbishment. The restaurant still looks good on the outside and I haven't even seen the inside yet.

After taking pictures of the Village Haus restaurant the next attraction on my sign quest that was in my area was Dumbo The Flying Elephant which is another popular ride in FL.

After that, than I head on over to the longest line in FL. PP, SB Land? No Tangled Greeting Area is already at 45 minute wait.

Next on the Sign Quest is Pinocchio's Daring Journey

The next sign is the Enchanted Chamber Store Sign

And of course the Golden Spike in the Center of the park which is something that people forget about.


Now is the time for a little break, and I will get back to my TR shortly tonight.

Bret, with all of the photos you took when did you find time to ride any rides.

Bret, with all of the photos you took when did you find time to ride any rides.

I only did 4 rides during my whole trip (DLRR, Monorail, MFW & SSS). All of those rides were on Saturday, I actually didn't go on any rides on Friday. I was there for FF Weekend and the Sign Quest. This is by far the fewest rides that I have ever did on a two day trip. But I have done all the rides and did my favorite rides during my time.

Okay, because I kind of figured that you wouldn't have had a chance to ride anything.

Day 1 – January 21, 2011 – Part 10​

Now is the time to go back to my TR. Sheesh, this is even longer than I expected with all the signs and I haven't even got to Toon Town and Tomorrowland yet. This might take me another week do do all this TR. I will try to get everything done in the next few days (maybe a week or two).

On the back side of SB castle and more pictures of SB Castle walk through.

Than the band was now inside FL while they were at the front of SB castle.

The next sign is PP Flight. No question that the line will be as long as 30+ minute wait around the afternoon.

The next on is the Sword in the Stone Plaque


Than I was about to go on the other side of King Arthur Carousel and took some more different signs around the carousel.


Now after walking past KAC, I was heading on the right side of FL and now the next signs to see on my path is Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. The line was kind of long for MTWR, but I should know that it is in the afternoon and will always draw a crowd. Even though it said 10 minute wait, it did seem a little bit longer than what it showed.

There is another Sign of KAC that I have missed, but luckily I got it when I past the area.

Next is the Mad Hatter Hat Store Sign

Now is the time for another Sign Guess This is a fireworks sign telling which rides will be closed during the fireworks. What attraction is right next to this sign?

Than I walked over to the side right next to the Mad Tea Party attraction. There were quite a few people in line, but it was not super crowds in the lines.

There is another part of my TR and will get back to you tomorrow.

 

[kaoden39]

Is that sign near the Storybook Land Canal Boats?

 

[mvf-m11c]

Is that sign near the Storybook Land Canal Boats?

Yes Michele, that is correct. As you can see from the bottom left side of the picture is part of Monstro.

 

[kaoden39]

Thanks Bret that's what I thought.

 

[skiingfast]

The Kodak Picture spot sign is next to where you pull the sword from the stone.

I'm loving all the sign pictures. I never knew there was a golden spike in the middle of DL. Where is the middle of DL?

Also racking my brain I can't come up with rides that are MFW & SSS. What rides are those?

Thanks for taking the time to post this trip report. It is really enjoyable!

Thx TK

When you go through SB castle and is between the two pictures of SB. I don't have a clear picture of where it would be, but here is another pic from somebody that has a clear pic of where the golden spike is.

MFW is Mickey's Fun Wheel. SSS is Silly Symphony Swings. Both are at DCA.

This is going to be a very long TR with all the signs and I haven't got too Toon Town or Tomorrowland yet.

Day 1 – January 21, 2011 – Part 11​

Another day doing the TR and watching the Miami Heat vs Oklahoma City Thunder on ABC. Not a bad morning of watching basketball and writing the rest of my TR.

I left off at the Mad Tea Party ride. Now after MTP, the next ride that was close to it is AiW. The line was already at a long 20 min wait and I can't wait until they change the outside of the ride.

AiW Wait Time Sign

Than I was heading on over to Matterhorn Mountain which would have plenty of rides, but I only got partial of the signs on the FL side so I would take my time.

Matterhorn Bobsled Sign


Also which is interesting is that Mark VII Orange Monorail was just staying in that same spot. I believe that it was still there since one of the monorails was still at the TL station so it had to wait until the monorail at the TL left the station. But when I checked the windows, there were no passengers on the monorail. Maybe they were adding orange to the line and must have taken one of the other monorail (Red or Blue) off the line.

Mark VII Monorail Orange


Matterhorn Bobsled Sign


Monorail Orange still at the same spot but at a different angle.


Now after one minute of the last pic, Monorail Orange just moved and headed over to the TL Monorail Station.




FL side


Ad now is another ride that is only at DL Storybook Land Canal Boats

SBLC Boats Sign


SBLC Boats Exit Sign

Now is the time to head on over to IASW which is closed during my time, I believe that it has reopened this week.



Fantasy Faire Gifts Shop Sign


Even though IASW was closed when DL was taking down the Holiday overlay, there were still quite a number of people who would love to take a picture in front of IASW.

Now the before I went over to TT, I had to stop at the IASW Toy Shop which is right next to IASW.

The back side of Fantasy Faire Gifts Shop Sign

Once again here is another sign guessing question This popcorn stand is in the IASW area. Right behind the popcorn cart on the top right hand side of this picture, what stand is that?

Now is the time to rest up and watch the rest of the Heat and Thunder game so I will get back to this TR later today. Thank you for reading.

 

[skiingfast]

I'd guess that next to the popcorn is where I got my Mickey Ice Cream Bar.

 

[mvf-m11c]

I'd guess that next to the popcorn is where I got my Mickey Ice Cream Bar.

The picture that was next to the right hand side of the Popcorn stand is actually the Kodak Film and Photo Information Stand. Next to it is the ice cream stand.

 

[skiingfast]

The picture that was next to the right hand side of the Popcorn stand is actually the Kodak Film and Photo Information Stand. Next to it is the ice cream stand.

So close, but so wrong.

Day 1 – January 21, 2011 – Part 12​

Now is the time to get back to my TR and the Sign Quest. This is taking way too long and these next one will be mostly signs of Princess Fantasy Faire and Toontown.

I left off at the Popcorn stand which is the Kodak Film Photo Information Stand

Than I walked down the street over to the Disney Princess Fantasy Faire area which has a lot of signs around the area. This includes the bathrooms and Troubadour Tavern restaurant.

Next is the gate symbol of TT. Now for the guessing game. As you can see of both gates that are used to open and close TT. For both of these pictures which gate symbol is the one on the right hand side when you enter TT?

The next one will be up shortly so I will be right back to it.

 

[mvf-m11c]

So close, but so wrong.

I would have said the samething when you see the cotton candy on the right hand side of the Kodak building.

The first one is the greeting sign of TT

The next one is the TT Fire Department Sign

Than I walked to the right side and got to see RRCS back in action again.
