Yakitori for dinner
I could go for some good Japanese food and where else but the Yakitori House has great Japanese counter service meals? This banner hangs out front - I don't read Japanese so if any readers can translate...

This sign, puffin and all, hangs above you as you exit the Maelstrom and head to the shops in Norway...

Desktop: A Norwegian spring...
Spring is finally here and today we're in Norway. The sound of water over the falls is peaceful, the distant castle looms in the background, and everything is green again...

Built in 1692...
The Cantina de San Angel and San Angel Inn are staples in the Epcot eatery scene. The restaurant and cantina are modeled after a hacienda built way back in 1692 and the date can be found in the archway above the Cantina queues...

Trash Can Tuesday: Main Street
Monday, March 16, 2009
Desktop: Condor Flats
The old radar relector that welcomes you to Condor Flats is decorated with their logo... If you look closely at the plane's shadow you'll see that it is actually a condor, the wings help give it away. The collector (which, at least when I've been there, still rotates) and light stands look like they really are out at some desert airport that stays alive by piecing everything together...

Will Call tickets
Who's Will and why does he need to call? Ok, enough bad humor for today, I promise. The will call ticket signs at the Epcot entrance are perfect examples of the Future World sign styles - Prototype font, classic Epcot logo (which I'm so glad they brought back) and the shades of blue/white/gray that make up much of the entry plaza.

A trip to Narnia
The behind the scenes look at the Narnia movies has been an interesting attraction for the last few years. Tucked in the corner of a soundstage it isn't the biggest or flashiest attraction but all the same it still grabbed decent crowds. With Disney no longer producing the Narnia movies this attraction will be fading but with any luck they'll keep the idea and bring a new behind the scenes attraction into the same space...

HIdden Mickey - pond drain style
In Japan there are some very tranquil ponds near the Yakitori House. If you look close you'll see an overflow drain or two. And in the center of the drain? A hidden Mickey... I'm not sure if there are other drains like this around the parks, this was the first time I've seen them.

Plaza del Sol Caribe
The Plaza del sol Caribe Bazaar is located next to Pirates and you roam through it on your way out of the ride. It's namesake plaza carries this little street sign that one can find as they are about to entire either the plaza or the queue for Pirates... Plaza del Sol is Plaza of the Sun in Spanish so this would be the Caribbean Plaza of the Sun...

Trash Can Tuesday: Recycling, Island style

Dekstop: Temple in the sky
Apologies for the lack of desktop yesterday - some technical difficulties delayed me but I'm back! How about a ride on Expedition Everest today? The temple on your way up the mountain is quite spectacular both inside and out. And the Tibetan prayer flags in the foreground are a very nice touch. They seem to be quite very common at the base camps around Everest, if you look at photos you can often find them in the background. Stay tuned for the regularly scheduled trash can update later today...

Tin Toy
In the Japan pavilion there has been an ongoing exhibit for some time now showcasing tin toys in Japanese history. Welcoming you to this exhibit is a rather large tin robot, quite typical of the many toys you'll see inside...
