Kusafiri Coffee Shop
The Kusafari Coffee Shop and Bakery beckons weary travelers on their morning sprint to Kilimanjaro Safaris with Kahawa (coffee), Chai (tea), and Maandazi (sweet fried dough). The weary New Year's Eve revelers might need to that to stay awake tonight or recover tomorrow.

Starport loading bays
The two loading bays at Space Mountain are now Alpha and Omega - a new (relatively) feature from the recent refurbishment. And I certainly can dig the new Starport logo!

Mickey Wreaths
Who doesn't want to have one of these hanging from their front door? They look fantastic as they line Main Street...
Santa Police?
Santa is everywhere - even the parking police it seems! A big light-up Santa has been spotted in recent years in the parking cops' little cruiser in the alley behind the Streets of America, hopefully you plugged that meter or you're getting coal this year...

Train around the tree
Every good Christmas tree needs a train and the Magic Kingdom is no different - so a Carolwood and Pacific train does the honors this year.

Elephants fly...
A couple years ago banners such as this one decorated the Disneyland Resort - with a team of flying elephants Santa could really make good time!

A big easy Christmas
Holiday season at the resorts is just as much fun as at the parks, esp. if you are at one that really decks the halls. The Port Orleans French Quarter brings you a jazzy little Christmas with all sorts of decorations with a New Orleans theme...

It is only fitting that Jack decorates the funeral directors front yard on the Streets of America...

Stitch decorates...
This year Stitch is stringing the lights at Innoventions West - both on the tree and himself it appears. The 2010 topiary displays in Epcot were a little more subdued than past years but what displays they had were up to the usual standards...

Aloha
And welcome to Walt Disney's Enchanged Tiki Room. This sign still hangs over the entrance to the classic attraction - it is interesting that it specifically calls it Walt Disney's, in part because (for a while) he personally owned the attraction through WED vs. the Walt Disney Company. Just one of those interesting tidbits of the past...

Vikings
There is a viking located outside the Stave Church in Norway. I've not been able to identify if it is a certain viking or if it is a more generic statue...

Better days...
Behind one of the counters at the Hollywood Hotel is this fresco of it in better days, when it had all of its elevator shafts...

This way to the Caribbean Plaza
This sign in the Hub points the way to Adventureland and the Caribbean Plaza, a location that seems to be relatively unknown by that name (yet everyone knows where Pirates of the Caribbean is located!).

You've never really experienced the Rivers of America till you have ridden them in one of the Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes. Hop on board for some excessive and a different look at the river...

Paint the scene
If you look at the artist's painting down on the waterfront you'll see he really is painting the scene in front of him - the International Gateway...

The Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe, near Splash Mountain in Frontierland, has the classic old west feel inside and out and even has an evening courtyard during the day courtesy of the Disney magic. Now if only you could stay at the Inn...

Boom
The Maliboomer is no more and while it was an interesting addition to the park (the idea of making it into a mock amuseument park ring-the-bell attraction was a nice touch) it didn't fit. It was an out-of-the-box ride, nothing like the unique Disney attractions everyone is used to - so this fall it closed to make way for some much needed green space in that corner of DCA.

Hose closet
There is a firehose closet on Main Street with this cool little plaque, the old time horse drawn fire engine certainly fits the era nicely.

Not so spooky decor
Still need decorating ideas for Halloween? How about an old time feel for your festivities? Classic touch, fun but not really spooky, and if you are really good you can find white pumpkins to make ghost jack-o-lanterns.

Now approaching...
...Mickey's Star Traders, where they can Rocket-ship to anywhere in the galaxy. In reality they do have one of the largest selections of merch outside of Main Street and some fun theming inside.
