Built in 1898, Grizzly Hall is home to the craziest group of bears you'll ever meet and is the home theatre of the Country Bear Jamboree...
Desktop: Dead Dinosaurs
The fossils at Big Thunder Mountain are big enough to hold a train, at least the rib cage is! So this week we take a look at one of those deceased dinosaurs who, from the looks of it, appears to enjoy being part of the fun from the grin on his face!

Gateway to another world
The Moroccan pavilion has amazing architecture - and some much of it is decorated with ornate tile or stone work. Take a few extra minutes to examine the rich details in the courtyards, buildings, etc.

Float this way...
...Right into The Living Seas. When they added Nemo and Friends to the attraction they dressed up the exterior with these cut outs yet still kept it pretty true to its original look...

Desktop: Jolly Trolley
Hop a ride on the Jolly Trolley! The only way to really see Toontown! Sadly, it doesn't run anymore (at least in the off season when I'm there) but they still put the trolley out at the station as a nice prop.

Destinations in a galaxy far, far away
Railroads, cruise lines, airlines, they all have used travel posters to advertise their destinations. So it only makes sense that Star Tours should do the same, except their are to even cooler places like Endor, Tatooine, and Bespin...

Transfer here for Schweitzer Falls...
The Jungle Navigation Co. now serves the Adventureland Dock. Good thing they have agents in Zanzibar and Calcutta - in case you miss the connection to Schweitzer Falls you can always give them a ring for help. The sign also fits with the ride's ties to the African Queen. The movie was set in 1914, so with the Jungle Navigation Co. dating from 1911 and with the home office in London (the African Queen was piloted by Humphrey Bogart playing a Canadian, still in the British Empire in 1914, and joined by Katharine Hepburn's British character) more than just the boats fit with the movie that helped inspire part of the ride...
Fish are friends
When you walk along the beach as you enter the Living Seas, be sure to read the signs and help ensure the habitat is a wonderful place for everyone!

2 hour parking
Better watch your parking times, it is Friday the 13th and you know you're bound to get a ticket if you overstay your welcome! The bus stop sign gives the location away - BART and Caltrain means we can only be in San Fransisco right now on the Streets of America...
