Very Random question: Large # 4 in DLR?

[Drcbelle]

Hey everyone- you all are always so helpful so I thought I'd give my weird question a shot here.
My kids are less than a year apart so for a few days every year they are the same age. We always get a picture of them together near a number of their age during that time period. Last year it was a large 3 at our local football stadium. It's kindof a fun challenge for us . This year we will be in California and Disneyland over some of that time.
Does anyone know where there is a number 4 in the resort? I don't think the gates have numbers nor the ticket booths. Anywhere is fine, the hotels, restaurants, parks, whatever.
I'd appreciate any thoughts or ideas! Thanks!

The gates have numbers, they're just small and above the gates. The buildings in some areas of both parks have addresses, but again, they're small. The best chance for a 4 is probably going to be the buildings in DCA between Little Mermaid and Grizzly Trail. Some of the ride vehicles also have numbers, but it would be really hard to have one stop. The Mickey hands that they sell in the parks have 4 fingers, you could buy a pair of those and have them take a picture with Mickey.

Edited: I just thought of one. On the facade of IASW to the right of the clock face.

Many of the rides have "gates" or loading positions with the number 4-you know, like right before you get on the ride you get told to wait in row 4 (or whatever). These could be a little bit of challenge to end up in position 4 in a particular queue but it's do able. You also might have a short window to snap the photo. Some of the 4s will be on the ground but some are also on the gate or post...Autopia in particular would have posts with the number but there are probably others.

The gates have very small numbers over each turnstile. You could probably get a picture with gate 4 at some point, but like I said, it's very small.

I think this is the best idea. TSMM has gold ones on the floor that could be cool.

Row #4 in the Space Mountain Que ...it is on the floor.

Also numbered que lines for Cars, Guardians of the Galaxy and Screamin.

See how may photos in row #4 you can get of all the rides! You can request the row you want on all the rides.

The ticket booths are numbered, but I think it is really small. I *think* booth 4 is on Harbor side, closest to DCA. Next trip I will look around and see if I see anything that might work.

The train engines are numbered.

This may be a good one: in the Alice in wonderland bathrooms, or at least the women's one, the doors are like a deck of cards...you can try to see if there is a number 4 one

I got a picture in there last month (because I love Disneyland bathrooms) and my picture has a black 3 of spades, black 3 of hearts and then a red 2 of spades.
Seems there has to be a 4 of something in there!

The train engines are numbered.

While the railroad is down for Star Wars construction, trains are on static display at Main Street and NOS stations. If you are lucky the Ernest S. Marsh will be on display.

OP--just wanted to say that you have a very fun tradition! Good luck on your quest!

OP, don't take pictures inside a restroom. That just screams creepy and may not be taken well by people who happen to be coming in and out of stalls. Personally, if I saw that, I'd alert security.

I knew you guys would come through! Thank you all so much for your thoughts and ideas, I've had a lot of fun going through them. It would be really fun to do the numbers at the different ride positions, but I'm not sure if we can get it together in time to get a picture before we have to load haha! We can always give it a shot!

I LOVE this idea! I am so hoping that this train will be there when we go! It will be mid-June. Is this the train that is there now? Does anyone know anything about how often they rotate them and such?

This was the one thing I'd thought of. I think it would be super cute but I'm trying to think of how to make it work.

Thanks so much! That would be so great. Have a good trip!

Thank you! We have a lot of fun with it! It's even more fun when it falls during a Disneyland trip!

Ha! I can see what you mean but I make sure no one is around! Which believe it or not, IS possible. I'm into how every bathroom is so themed, like
in bugs land the bathrooms are bug people on the doors to designate men vs women and in the space mountain bathrooms the people on the doors are in space suits

I'm all about respecting people's privacy and would never put myself in a position to have security called on me!
It's not just the bathrooms, I'm very into how everything in Disneyland is SO incredibly themed, right down to the bathrooms*.


*all my bathroom pics besides the Alice in wonderland are JUST of the outside door going in and the tiling inside

I take pictures in DL restrooms all the time because many of them are so well themed. I also try to avoid doing it when people are in the restrooms, but once or twice I *have* done something like talked loudly to my daughter about how cool they are and how I need to get a photo, also saying loudly, "l'll take it from this angle so no one's in the picture." As far as I know, I've never had security called on me.

That's a cool 4 on the train. Are the trains still open for viewing? I thought I read they were closing that down as they are getting closer to testing the tracks. Not sure though. Someone who has been recently know?

I think the Alice in Wonderland bathroom would be easy to get with no one around if the OP went first thing in the morning.

Trust me, I'm a nurse, I'm all about folks privacy and maintaining HIPAA. I'm solely interested in the design NOT the people in the bathrooms.

I'm an L&D nurse, I see enough, trust me

I caught a tween peeping tom taking pics into stalls in a DCA restroom with his handheld Nintendo. Ever since then, I see a camera pointed at the stalls, I shout peeping tom and leave the restroom to get security.

Maybe someone taking pics is trying to see between the cracks in the stalls, or maybe they're scoping it out to come back for more pics.

Is there any indication that the OP wants or needs a pic of her children with a restroom stall door for posterity? Listen to what you're suggesting. Sneak into the bathroom early so you can have pics of your kids with a bathroom stall with a lesser chance of invading someone's privacy. Really?

Good point about the trains potentially testing, rather than on display.
If the #4 is "on display" it would make the a uniquely Disneyland photo, since the railroad is so significant to to the history of the park. I should have taken a picture of myself at the front of the train, since it might never be possible again (or at least very rarely).
