Hi Bret,
Love the signs but one of my favorites is the Snowmobile Route sign. It's great!

Thanks for posting,
TK

Have you ever seen a sign like that?

I've snowmobiled a hundred time but that sign in particular looked odd. Next time I'm going to pay more attention when I go through a sledding area.

I see those snowmobile signs all the time in Michigan. Didn't think to look for one at DCA!

I spent a lot of time in Michgan and the whole upper midwest and am having trouble thinking of those signs. Though can I clearly remember the bars along the old railways that are not on the snowmobile trails. For some reason that seems fundamentaly wrong.

 

[TheColtonsMom]

That was quicker than kaoden39. Maybe I made it too easy for skiingfast.

Now it is just K & I.

I'll make it easier for these two letters.

K - This is the firework show during the Holiday season and when I was at DL last month the poster sign was still up.

I - This letter belongs to the weekend event that is going on at DL during the first three months of this year. They have done 4 different events at DL and have two more on the way.

Took me forever to figure it out because the fireworks show is "Believe in holiday magic" and there is no k. But if I remember that poster right is says "Believe in Holiday magic fireworks" and there is a k in fireworks LOL

Is the I from the "family fun weekends"?

You are correct Sherri. The K is from the bottom of "Believe...In Holiday Magic" fireworks. It is underneath the right side of the tunnel.

And the I is from the Sign by BT Ranch during Family Fun Weekend.

Now that this is complete, now is Sherry E time for the sign letter guessing.


S - This letter is located around Rancho del Zocalo
H - Store inside SB Castle
E - Once was a ride and now is a DVC stand
R - Once a banner outside of the gate.
R - Restaurant right by BTMRR.
Y - This is a no brainer letter sign
E - Entrance sign by Princess Fantasy Faire

This is possibly the easiest out of all the names, lets see if you can finish it tonight.

The E is from the TT Trolley.

I'm sorry that is not the correct answer for the last letter of E. I said on my description that this letter is right next to Princess Fantasy Faire which is Mickey's Toontown Railroad Station

Now Sherry E is all done, it is time for Funball. This is all at DCA for which Sara loves to be at during her visits. So I did all the letters at DCA for her.

F - This letter belong to what vehicle stand that sells alcohol
U - Store right next to Muppet Vision 3D
N - This letter belongs to what store right next to GRR
B - I would assume that this is a no brainer just like the next two.
A - The best ride at DCA
LL - There is a band in the sky.

Day 2 – January 22, 2011 – Part 24​

I don't know what is wrong with me, but this is just taking way too long and I won't even be done when I go to DL next weekend during Presidents day weekend. Right now I have decided to post the signs later but I will still post some of them on my TR. Just the unique ones while I am telling my TR. I would want to get my TR done asap, but with everything going on so far with work and other things. I just didn't have enough time to finish it.

Now lets just get this TR finished and set up my PTR for next weekend.

After I got most of the pics of the signs around Pacific Wharf, the next signs on the way is right at the WoC Picnic Area right next to the WCT. I have got picnics in the past, but this time since it was not that crowded, I didn't have to get a picnic so I can get a blue FP for the 9pm WoC show.

WoC Picnic Sign

WoC Picnic Menu

WoC Picnic Sign

Than after taking the pics of the WoC Picnic Signs, I decided it was time to head on out of DCA and head on back over to DL to see Kickin' Country Weekend.

When I was walking out of the park, I had to get some other signs around the area especially around WCT which has the menus. Even though it is still early in the afternoon, the WCT is still a very nice fine dining establishment to eat at DCA. I should at least eat there one day, but I haven't even eaten all of the establishments at the DLR.

WCT Sign

WCT

It was a kind of a shame that I couldn't go in the Blue Sky Cellar and see all the new updates on the DCA Expansion. I was just a week away till they reopen the Blue Sky Cellar with the Little Mermaid Ride concepts and other pieces of the expansionism. Well, but when I go to DL next week, I will be able to see all the new concepts of the Blue Sky Cellar.

Blue Sky Cellar Closed

Blue Sky Cellar Closed Sign

After leaving the BSC, I was about to head on out. There was somethings I had to get while I was walking out of DCA. Can't forget teh poster of teh expansionism since a few years ago and we can't believe TSMM was completed a couple of years ago and we are almost at the time when the Little Mermaid ride will be completed in May.

Cars Land Poster

Paradise Pier Poster

DCA & Buena Vista Street Poster

Than I left the area and head on back over to Sunshine Plaza area.But I had to get the BLC Sign which has a few when you go right pass the golden vine.

Golden Vine Sign

BSC & Golden Vine Winery Sign

BSC Sign

Than on the way out there were the wall construction posters which has many different designs and posters. I can't wait to see the new Buena Vista Street when it is completed in 2012 with the Red Trolley and the new theater.

The Red Car Trolley Sign

When I was about to head on over to the Sunshine Plaza, there was another Pixar Pals Sign. I got to remember to see this show next week when I go to DCA. It was kind of interesting to see all these different Pixar characters.

Pixar Pals Sign

I forgot to get this sign when I was walking in DCA and here it is.

Engine-Ears Toys Sign

Than I have walked down the Sunshine Plaza towards the exit.

Greeting of PhotoPass Pick-Up Sign

I will continue this TR shortly so I will get to u right back.

 

[mvf-m11c]

Day 2 – January 22, 2011 – Part 25​

I want to apologize to everyone that is keeping a track of my TR. I just haven't been the same in the last few days since I am rushing my TR so I can get my PTR for next week ready. I am only just 6 Days away till another solo trip to DL. My TR haven't been that good since my November trip. I just need to add that Disney magic to my TR again which is something that people would want to read than just look at pictures and not telling a story of my TR. So lets get back to this TR and have that magical feeling.

I have left off at DCA and around Sunshine Plaza.

Before I was about to head on over to DL, the Green Army Toys were playing right by the Engine-Ears Toys Store. Mostly they are playing right by the WCT when I see them mostly. But this was kind of nice to see them play right by the entrance.

Than on the way out was another Pixar Pals Sign right underneath the Golden Gate Bridge.

The Construction Exit Sign by the turnstiles which is under construction.

It was not time to leave since I can get so many signs around the locker area.

Lockers on the right hand side of the entrance.

Women Restroom Sign

Now it was time to leave DCA and head on over to DL, but more Disney characters on the construction walls.

I left the park and head on over to DL, but I had to get more of the Disney character designs on the walls.

When I got outside the main gates, the crowds were not that crowded during a day when DL opened at 9am. Mostly during the day around 11am, the park should get a number of guests coming in, but that was not the case when I looked outside.

Got to the gate like always and my Premier was working like a charm. Than the first thing for me to do is head on over to the festival arena and check out Kickin' Country Weekend. When I go down towards MS, I am seeing all these construction walls and more and more people in the park. It was kind of busy for a Saturday during the non-busy season. Later during the day,
it showed with more and more people, but I will tell you later about that.

Right side tunnel going towards MS

DLRR MS USA Station

Kickin' Country Weekend Sign

It doesn't look that bad right now on MS while there were a few characters right around GMwML which is usual.

Now it was time to head on down towards the shops of MS. But had to once again get pics of the construction walls around the Emporium.

Still just a modest crowds down MS USA

I than walked on the left side of the construction walls going towards Frontierland. It was just a bad scene walking down MS and seeing all the walls up around the Hub. But this time next week that all the walls around the Hub are finally taken down and it will be easier to watch RDCT at night.

I was than in Frontierland which was not that crowded.

Than around BTMRR, more and more people were around that area. Mostly it was a large group of families which was right by BTMRR.

The Big Thunder Welcome Sign right by BTMRR.
