Root for the Home Team

The Hall of Champions section of the Emporium has what may be the most well themed "Cast Member Only" signs. Instead of stating the obvious, these signs stick to the sports theme in a humorous and creative way.

What's the Point?

I just can't get enough of the Muppet Store! This fun little sign seems to sum up the whole area nicely.

Take Flight

The next time you are in line for one of those delicious frozen raspberry lemonades at Peevey's Frozen Concoctions, take the time to look at the various props used to decorate the area. The name Peevey is a reference to A. "Peevy" Peabody, the character from The Rocketeer who helped Cliff Secord with the mysterious jet pack.

The right hand side features a pennant from Bigelow's October 15, 1938 Air Circus as well as a newspaper clipping questioning the true identity of the mysterious Rocketeer.


On the left side, the Rocketeer's jet pack and helmet are on display, possibly awaiting the next flight.

While this delightful movie was never considered a commercial success, it is nice to see that references still exist in the parks (the Fountain of Nations also features a show set to the movie's main theme).

The Invisible Leash Returns

On September 17th I wrote a post about the humorous invisible dog leash sign at the Muppet store, questioning whether it was an intentional joke or not.

Well, it looks like my question has been answered, as the leashes have been restocked and those dogs are just waiting to be walked. Oh well, it was a great joke while it lasted!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

In honor of the Playoffs, I thought I would share this fun little detail etched into the pavement on New York Street.

A Photo Retrospective of Monday

As requested, here are a few of my photos from Monday's Celebration 25:

The flower logo topiary with a special 25th Anniversary sign


Just a small segment of the massive line to buy the limited edition Figment plush and shirts. These items sold out park-wide only a few hours after park opening!


And here they are! The special shirts and Figments (or what is left of them!).


The crowd assembles for the Re-dedication ceremony at 10:01.


Celebrating the Future World pavilions during the ceremony.


Cast Members from the World Showcase pavilions bring water jugs from their respective countries to pour into the Fountain of Nations, as Imagineering legend Marty Sklar looks on.


Fireworks signal the end of the ceremony.


The World War III barges are ready for the special IllumiNations tag.


The "Bat/Cat" Figment from the original Journey Into Imagination - isn't he cute?


The wonderful Epcot 25th gallery in Innoventions West.

Give a Hand

This "Palm" tree (get it?) can be found growing in Minnie's solarium, among the dandelions, sunflowers, daisies, blue bells, and buttercups.
