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.

Toontown is on the right. I got some help with this.

Yup, this is the easiest sign guess that I did so far. But there will be harder ones.

I wasn't too sure about it. I though being that Toontown is zany. The names could of been reversed.

 

[skiingfast]

I have to guess that next to the CM doors is the Gag Warehouse. There isn't many much retail back there.

Yup, there is only one retail store at MTT.

If you were on the other side of MTT when the gates are closed than it would be the opposite.

And spend a night in there? That place would be crazy with toons going all over the place. I'll sleep in the HM with friendly spirits, thank you.

That would be very interesting to spend a night in TT with all the toons running around town. I would like to spend the night at Tarzan Treehouse.

Back to my TR and I left off at the popcorn stand by Chip N Dale Tree House

Chip N Dale Tree House Sign

Chip N Dale Mailbox Sign

Next to it is Gadget's Go Coaster. The line was already at 20 min long which is a long wait, but what do you expect with only one train on the track. In the past, I have seen two trains on the same track, but now they are only running one train on the track.

And the last sign on the way out of TT is MTT Post Office

Now I am finally finished at MTT and now on my way over to TL. But before I go to TL, I need to get some photos around FL right around Matterhorn Mountain.

Le Petit Chalet Sign which is the Merchandise stand across from SBC Boats

Everytime I go by that area, I always think about the old Motor Boat Cruise where is was nice to ride in a boat down FL and seeing the Monorail, Autopia, PM, & Submarine Voyage. It would be nice if DL would so something with that land they have.

Please No Smoking Sign where the former Motor Boat Cruise Dock use to be. (I miss that attraction)

The next sign is the Edelweiss Snack Sign which has some good Turkey Legs

Edelweiss Snacks Sign

Now right across from it is the famous Matterhorn Bobsleds ride which is everyone is familiar with as the first steel tubular roller coaster in the US.

Now is the time for the Guessing Sign Game On the this sign down below, which land side station Sign does this belongs to?

Matterhorn Bobsled Warning Sign

Will be right back.

 

[mvf-m11c]

Day 1 – January 21, 2011 – Part 16​

Now is the time to get back to my TR. I left off around Matterhorn Bobsleds and after getting the pics, I went over to the Fairytale Arts stand by the Edelweiss Snacks Stand.

Fairytale Arts Sign

Fairytale Faces Sign

Also when I was about to take another sign right by sign that also has the artwork pictures on it, a young lady CM told me not to take any pictures of the art work. I just told her that I was only taking the picture of the sign instead of the artwork. She gave me a stare down and I just walked away. That was kind of rude of that CM to give me a bad attitude and also the bad look at me for just taking a picture of the sign. I was not trying to take a picture of the name art work.

But now lets get back to the Sign quest instead of talking about the CM. Than I left the area and the next sign is the Smoking Area sign right under the Monorail Pillar right across from Matterhorn Mountain TL side

Smoking Area Sign

No Smoking Area Sign

Than I walked down the Matterhorn TL Side and always see the beauty FNSV Lagoon which is always a great place to take pictures of the subs and the monorail.

Matterhorn Bobsleds Wait Sign on TL Side

Exit Only Sign for the Monorail/FNSV

Than I walked down TL and now was time to get more Signs around the area. Finally after doing much of my TR with MS, Frontierland, FL, & TT, I finally got to TL which will take awhile with all the signs, but we will wait and see. It was kind of crowded in TL when I got there since the Jedi Training Academy was running when I got there.

FNSV Sign

FNSV Stoller Parking Sign

Next is my favorite sign which is the TL Monorail Sign. As some of you know me so well that I love the monorail and the trains at any of the resorts

This is actually a Monorail Sign but doesn't have anything on it

Than the next ride that is close to FNSV and the Monorail Station is the Autopia. Some of these signs around this area are unique.

Now back to all my pics from my trip again. I left off the back side of TL where you enter the DLRR and Autopia

Autopia Warning Sign

Autopia Winner's Circle Store Sign

Autopia FP Return Clock Sign

Than after the Autopia sign area, is the way towards the DLRR TL Station, in the past they had the smoking area in that area. But they don't allow any smoking in that area. I don't like it when people walk off the RR station and walk through an area when people smoke (no offense to the people who smoke). I just don't like it.

No Smoking Sign by Autopia Winner's Circle Store

Than the next sign is the TL RR Station Sign which changes into something else.

DLRR TL Station Sign

DLRR TL Station Multiple Signs

Than after that, I walked out but before I do, I had to get the restroom right behind the Autopia Winner's Circle Store which is where the former Skyway Station above the restroom once was. That ride was so fun to go on especially going up in the air and seeing everything.

TL Women Restroom Sign


TL Men Restroom Sign


Than the next area is Innoventions which has so many different signs around the area.

Innoventions Exit Sign

Flying Saucer Sign on Innoventions

House of the Future Sign on Innoventions

Than walked over towards TL and took more sign pics

TL Terrace Sign

Tomorrowlanding Store Sign

The next sign is Red Rockett's Pizza Port where they have some nice pizza and pasta. I don't know why I don't eat there too much, maybe I eat pizza and pasta a lot at home and on the rode. I should eat there one day.

RRPP Coke Sign where the rocket is

Redd Rockett's Pizza Port Sign

Than next door to RRPP, is one of TL most icon attractions Space Mountain. The lines around SM was not as bad as I had thought for a Friday. I thought it would be at least 40 minute wait for SM. Even during the slow season, it still draws a lot of people. The wait time was not bad and there were still FP around 3:50pm that time of the day.

SM Sign

FP Wait time and Return Time Sign


Than passing the SM FP Sign, I head on over to the other side of the exit towards SM. But before I do that, I went to take a pic of the EO Sign

Captain EO Sign

Than before I head on over to the exit side, I had to get another sign right by the exit which is the Starcade Sign.

Starcade Sign

Another part done and will get back to it again.

Bret, you've made me realize just what I've never seen at DL. I laughed out loud at the bathroom signs in TL. The aliens are GREAT!

Really enjoying the report. I think you should get an award for the most original trip report ever

Thank you TK for your words. Those signs are very interesting to see around the DLR that we barely see on the thread.

I haven't even finish day one yet and I still have DCA & DTD to do. I still have a lot to do.

I couldn't agree more.

Thank you Michele

Bobsled sign question, on the Fantasyland sign.

Sticking these questions into the post is a great idea.

Day 1 – January 21, 2011 – Part 18​

After a good dinner, it is time to get back to my TR. I left off at the Starcade Sign and now that is where I will start my TR. I was about to go through the SM Exit area where the area where they take photos for SM.

Now when I am inside and now taking pictures of the Document Control Shop where they sell the SM ride pictures also more merchandise.

I'm sorry to say this that I didn't get the restroom signs inside the SM photo area. I don't know why I hesitated of not taking pictures of the restroom signs.

Now I left the area and now it was time to take more sign photos around the rest of the area of TL.

The Star Trader Sign hasn't got old to me every time I pass it.

Another Star Trader Sign with some Star Wars merchandise

Now the next store on my Sign Quest is my favorite Pin trading store which is the Little Green Men Store Command. This store is the one that I mostly get all my pins since it is in TL and after I finish BLAB, I go straight in the store and find any LE pins.

Next door to Little Green Men Store Command is BLAB and did get a lot of different signs.

Than the next sign on the way is the Astro Orbiter Wait Sign. For only a five minute wait at this time during the day is a good way to get on the ride.

Than another view of ST2 Sign

After getting the signs around TL finally, I am about to get the other side of MS. I started at the restrooms around the Plaza Inn restaurant.

Women Restroom Signs

Men Restroom Sign

Than there were more signs around the area which you can find when you are right around the Plaza Inn restaurant area.

Than I left the restroom area and walked right next to the Plaza Inn restaurant and got more different pics around the area.
