Break time

Hey, I resemble this sign! Though we never lean on shovels (though leaning up against our work trucks is another story). Come on, building roads (or railways in my case) is hard work, you have to take a break sometime. And check out the middle guy, talk about talent not to mention a seriously obscure detail for the sign. You can find this sign among others in the mechanic/stunt area of the Backlot Express...

It's a Meatier Shower!

With the recent exit of McDonald's from the parks I thought it might be time to take a look at one of the Mac and Don's outposts at the parks, or at least one of their signs. The other planetary Big Mac saucers are moving in to take over the planet (sort of ironic, isn't it...). Get your burgers while you can, this part of DCA is slated for renovation sometime next year and the burgers will be off to take over another part of the galaxy...

Desktop: Palais de Cinema

What better way to spend a half hour while waiting for Illuminations than watching Impressions de France? The Palais de Cinema greets those whose feet are tired and need a break. And afterward how about a quick swing by the bakery?

Karibu!

Karibu is welcome in Swahili and the folks at Tamu Tamu in Harambe are happy to see you and refresh you after your long journey. You have a parched tongue and they have the cold drinks to cure it!

Shipping books

Once again I'm finding us back at the Frontierland station on the Disney World Railroad. Among other thing waiting to be put on the train, there instruments, books, crates, etc. It looks like someone is getting a few copies of March of Democracy. Maybe they are starting up a library in the Wild West...

An alpine sign

It's sign time! Today it is over to the Matterhorn, this sign is in the queue and has a very classic look. From the simple flowers to the mountain and the lettering it is one of my favorites. And the castle in the shield is a nice touch, too.

Rosebud...

Another crate that is labeled up and ready for delivery at Min and Bill's - this one appears to have a famed sled inside...

Say "Bo-Deen"

Much like the Mission Tortilla silos, the silo outside of the Boudin Sourdough mini-factory has their logo high in the sky... And just like when I wrote up the Mission ones, I'm suddenly hungry!

Welcome to Harambe Wildlife Reserve

Harambe Wildlife Reserve has a wonderful logo - simple yet very distinctive. Harambe is Swahili for "coming together" (also translates to "pull together", "cooperation" and the likes) - quite fitting for the preserve and village...

House 17

With the re-opening of the Liberty Square bridge I thought it was rather appropriate to pull out a Liberty Square photo. Here is house #17 and #19, the Imagineers thought of everything inc. the house numbers when they put in this facade. Looks like this is a pretty well--to-do part of town too if you ask me...
