Do you know if that applies to DCA as well as DHS? I know DCA's queue is slightly different, but I think most of the inside is the same.

Where is it supposed to be?

I've never been to DL so I don't know. At WDW/HS it is on the left side of the pre-show.

I love that one happysneakers, about the stalemate in the Pirates of the Caribbean very few people realize it. Also outside of Tony's Town Square Restaurant there are some hard to see paw prints from Lady and the Tramp, immortalizing their Love.

Sure, One night after a MNSSHP, I had to take out the que trash at POTC. Well, I was the only person in the attraction, behind the scenes with water dripping all around me. Now, when there is not a soul in the building the sounds and voices are still on. Becuase there are so many people talking in the ques usually you have no idea how loud it really is. I was walking on these boards about to open a door to enter the que when the board snapped, i fell ankle deep into water, and then the door jammed shut. I could not get in anthe key I had suddenly stopped working. The door would not opend! I dropped my bags and took off. I came back with my manager explaining what happened. This time the door was already open. My bags were still there which was odd, because we felt if someoen had opened the door they would have taken the bags as well. Luckily he did she where I fell intot he water and the broken board so he didn't think I was totally nuts. There is my George story.

yodiwan1: That is a great ghostly story. I would have been pretty freaked out but that.

Thanks for the great story, but I have to ask this question too.

There is another "secret" near Tony's, i don't know if it is still there, but the Goofy that sits on the bench talks. I found this one on my own with quite a surprise because i wasn't expecting anything but a picture haha

This used to be a quirk, however it has changed in recent years. We all know about the names on the windows above the shops on Main Street, USA, right? There are many names emblazoned on those windows. However, there was only one name on a window that faced the castle, Walt Disney. His name is on a window above the Ice Cream Shop.

Within the past few years, another name was added to the window above Casey's that faces the castle. That person's name eludes me at the moment.
Are we there yet? When can we go back?

I don't know what's worse, the anticipation of going or the withdrawals after getting home.
