Desktop: Christmas in the city...

Toontown that is... This cool wreath adorns many of the lights around Toontown, marking the holiday season. I could dig one of these for the front door...

Street of Good Fortune

The variety of great street signs around the World Showcase is always a treat, especially when you find a sign you haven't seen before. In China you can find Xing Fu Jie, better known as Street of Good Fortune...

Refurbishing never ends

This refurbishment sign could be found around Frontierland - one of the variety of refurb signs around the parks that more and more are being made to fit in to their surrounding area.

Bulletin boards

Be sure to read the notices on the bulletin boards as you approach Everest - there are lots of good tidbits and references and warnings all wrapped up into one...

Best bellbottoms

Continuing our look at the county fair over in Toontown we have the award for the best bellbottoms, going to Clarabelle Cow. Note the, ahem, cowbells in the jeans...

Desktop: Blue Bayou

Today's desktop - a classy sign right next door to a classic address in New Orleans Square...

Refreshment Coolpost

Time for a stop at the Refreshment Outpost, sorry, Coolpost on the World Showcase. One of the Coke branded locations around the parks, this one is known for its colorful coolers from around the world. So is that water tower filled with Coke? And if there were an earthquake and it started shaking would it have the same effect as shaking a can of Coke? Hmm...

Cargo Control Center

With the reopening of Space Mountain today's photo is from their exit queue - designed as a cargo shipping adventure (following the cargo being beamed across the galaxies) when FedEx sponsored the attraction it still (at least before the rehab) was virtually the same minus the FedEx logos...

Smile!

The photo exhibit at the fair doubles as a photo pickup location. Be sure to smile and look goofy for the camera!

Guarding the mountain

You've been warned - a number of times actually - by the time you get to the platform at the station on your way up Everest....

Just around the corner...

...is Christmas! In honor of all those radio stations that start playing Christmas music earlier and earlier every year here is a look at the Christmas corner in Germany...

Happy Birthday Mickey

Another year and yet he never ages... How does he do it?

Authentic Chinese, even as takeout...

The sign outside the Lotus Blossom Cafe - the gateway to good Chinese fast food in Epcot...

Butterflies take flight

Another one of the colorful murals at the Pizzafari - this one full of butterflies. Look close, you can find smaller butterflies in the wing patterns of the larger ones...

A used bench

As in seriously used. Look near the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse and you'll find planters and benches made from parts from the shipwreck!

Italian doorway

Next time you are wandering around the Italy pavilion spend a couple extra minutes at the Doge Palace (modeled after the real deal in Venice), the architecture and details are terrific. Look at the door, columns, light, etc. here on the back entrance alone...

Be Happy

May all beings be happy - this sage advise can be found on the stickers on the wall near the Yak and Yeti...

Nifty knitting

At Mickey's Toontown Fair the tent is full of county fair entries, including knit items. Like the sweater for Toby Tortise who appears to be set for winter with the whole shell covered for warmth.

Desktop: Staring at the ceiling...

...And staring at the ceiling for good reason I might add! The Temple of Heaven in China is beautiful inside and out, look up as you enter for this masterpiece of art and architecture...

Donkey cart

This little donkey and colorful cart can be found near Italy. I believe they sell refreshments from it when the weather permits, however they haven't been serving when I've been around.

Busy as a beaver

This beaver is just one of the many creatures you will find in the Creature Comforts store, this guy is hard at work framing up a picture that would appear to be made of wood. Go figure.

Sailing, Sailing...

Just a few of the details in one of the many nooks around the Columbia Harbour House. Model ships, rope and tackle, and so much more. No matter where you sit you are sure to have a lot to look at when you are there...

Feed me

Outside of Pizzafari is this stone cat - begging for food just like my cat. Somethings never change!

Tumbili tented camp

For the budget conscious travelers - it is almost the same as the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Except there is no lodge. Or running water... Or...

Desktop: Jolly Trolley

This weeks' desktop ventures into Toontown history and transportation. No longer in service, the old Jolly Trolley cars now seem to simply serve as a prop at the Toontown stations. I never was able to see them in service but heard they were quite the bumpy ride...

Dia de los Muertos

At El Rancho del Zocalo they are celebrating Dia de los Muertos in style complete with a skeleton Mariachi band and all. It is a great festive area off to one side of the eatery and the temporary residents seems to be enjoying their party...
