Before the Music Stops

In keeping with my duties as a member of the CAS, here is another fun crate found near the Streets of America (on the old stage area where the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles used to perform):


Make sure you take a seat before the music stops!

Les Moyens de Transports

The France pavilion has its very own Hector Guimard-designed art nouveau Métro entrance used to mark the entrance to the arcade that leads to the shops.


These ornate cast-iron and bronze structures were originally designed to coincide with the 1900 Paris World's Fair. Unfortunately, as time went on many of them met the wrecking ball until preservationists stepped in during the 1970s. Today only 86 of the original 141 remain, and of course, one right here in central Florida.

I Are Smart


Regardless of your opinion of the Dinoland USA area, you can not help but agree that it is full of details. This fun little sign on the back of the Airstream trailer outside Restaurantosaurus fits in nicely with the rest of the "graffiti" spread about by those wacky grad students.

Line Art


Take a walk around the beautifully themed Dig Site at Coronado Springs, and you will feel like you have entered an archaeological excavation of the lost city of Cibola, complete with an impressive Mayan pyramid.

However, as tempting as it is to look up and gaze upon this enormous structure, make sure you take the time to look down. You might just find some hidden treasure, in the form of pictographs, beneath your feet.

Take a Walk

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.

A Missed Opportunity

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.

Additional Parking


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.
