A diverting destination at Innoventions West

I love this sign because it is so colorful and because it has a “hidden” Mickey. The EPCOT Character spot is located just across the breezeway from Innoventions West in Walt Disney World’s EPCOT theme park. You’ll be able to find all the most beloved classic Disney characters there – Mickey and Minnie, Pluto, Goofy and Chip ‘n’ Dale are all waiting to meet you! So, when you get to EPCOT, hang a right when you get to the fountain that dances to fabulous music and you’re there. Everybody neat and pretty? Don’t forget your autograph book!

Sand bandits on Sanibel

Not sure what’s less reasonable – the expectation that there will be no sand in the sink AT THE BEACH, or the apparently unwillingness to comply on the part of persons unknown. Captured in the restroom at the Lighthouse Beach, Sanibel Island.

Holiday window dressing at Walt Disney World

A few weeks ago while strolling through EPCOT, I happened upon the Port of Entry store, located in World Showcase Plaza just as you are starting to head up the UK, France, etc side. It was all done up for Christmas with garland strung along the roof line. However, I spied something else Christmas-y about the store…
The windows of the store were all dressed up for Christmas too, with signs that depict Christmas shopping activities as they would occur in some of the countries represented around EPCOT’s World Showcase. There’s the tall pagoda in Japan – red for Christmas, instead of its customary blue:
Here we have Eiffel Tower, poodle and fashionably-dressed lady shopper – I’m thinking this is France:
Finally, we have my favorite. There aren’t many clues here, but the man is holding a red shopping bag with a white star-shaped snowflake design on it. Having grown up in New York City and Long Island, I cannot help but be reminded of the holiday Christmas shopping bags from Macy’s, home of the Miracle on 34th Street and sponsor of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
(yes, ok, I know – the chimneys on the rooftops in the background probably indicate London, but I like my Noo Yawk scenario better!)
And speaking of New York, I finally got here! It only took three tries over the course of four days. The blizzard that hit New York last weekend sure took its toll on air travel. I’m glad to be here but it’s bitterly cold, and there is snow and ice everywhere! I think I’ll stay in and bake cookies for Santa.
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday – ho, ho, ho!

The Walt Disney World Railroad

Walt Disney loved a good railroad. He built one in his backyard when he lived in California, and he built one that circles Disneyland in Anaheim. So naturally, when it came to building the Magic Kingdom in Orlando, that park had to have a railroad too. Walt bought some engines from a railway on the Yucatan penninsula in Mexico and brought them to Florida to be restored. They were made over to look very old fashioned, including the ability to run on steam. They were ready for the grand opening of the park in October 1971. The Walt Disney World railroad runs in a circle around the park. There are stops at Main Street USA, Frontierland and Mickey’s Toon Town. This sign is from the Main Street station.

Magic Kingdom? I wish!

At the risk of making an insider’s joke, if you’ve ever been bashed by a marauding stroller at Walt Disney World, you know what I’m taking about here! The more crowded a theme park gets, the more difficult it is to navigate the mobs of humanity with a stroller. Consequently, more people will be sporting swollen, purple, grapefruit-sized ankles. File this under “signs we WISH we’d seen in the Magic Kingdom”! Sign actually exists at the Naples Zoo in Southwest FloridaSIGNS and THE ROAD:
