I am back again at the Muppets store, this time featuring something that may or may not be intentional, but it is certainly amusing and fits in well with its environment.A hook hangs empty on the wall, as if waiting for its merchandise to be restocked. While this is not normally so amusing, a look at the sign advertising what should be there warrants a pause.
Now there is such an item as an invisible dog leash, as I am sure you are all familiar with. But you tell me - is this an intentional joke or simply an overlooked fixture? Either way, it is a wonderful little detail.
Merchandising is missing out on a great opportunity - who wouldn't want to take home some Ye-Tea as a reminder of their trip to Anandupur?
These boxes can be found in the queue for Expedition: Everest.
This poster can currently be found on the refurbishment walls for the Yak and Yeti.
If you ever find yourself down Sunset Boulevard heading to the Theater, and just can not find a place to park, make sure you follow this helpful sign. You will be sure to find more parking spots at 8361 Vine Street.
Inside the Beach Club Resort, wander down the hallway that winds around the Cape May Cafe. To enhance the oceanic theming, there are various sculpted sandcastles decorated with colorful flags and shells hanging along the wall. Take a look, and you might even find a certain character enjoying one of the creations.
A collection of painted fans can be found framed and hanging on a wall inside the Hall of Champions (now a part of the Emporium). Each fan contains a scene of a woman engaged in a particular athletic activity. I would have to say my personal favorite would be the hunting design. There is just something about the image of a woman in a long skirt aiming a rifle. My how times have changed!
In response to my last post, George (Biblioadonis, of The Disney Geeks) requested some photos of the Public Library on the Streets of America. Much to my dismay, when I went back to take some detailed shots, I found that the Osborne Lights team had beaten me to the punch. The Year of a Million Refurb walls has claimed another victim, and the area is currently walled off to allow for the installation of the large light tree and rotating globe. So I wanted to take this opportunity to apologize to George for a slightly abbreviated exploration of this area.
The Public Library is located in The Plymouth building, which, to the best of my knowledge, is a fictious location. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong!
The architectural style features characteristics similar to that of Beaux-Arts or Greek Revival, with heavy stone arches, relief carvings, and statues.
Interestingly, this is not the only Library found on the Streets of America - another one can be found in the false facade at the end of the street.
Walking down the Streets of America, you will find a vast amount of details in the building windows. The fire escapes are also particularly intricate, including this one that can be found down the little dead end road across from the Public Library.
There are two patio chairs suitable for sitting outside and watching the world go by, and an especially fun detail of a potted plant complete with its own spray bottle.(And yes, even though it is only September, it's never too early to celebrate Christmas on the Streets of America!)
