Chicken and fish You can have anything you want to eat at Columbia Harbour House. Assuming, of course, that what you want is either chicken or seafood. This shiny gold sign appears to be relatively new. Update: It...

The Columbia Harbour House in Disney World's Magic Kingdom has two entrances. The entrance in Liberty Square has a sign similar to what a colonial-era inn would have. The Fantasyland entrance has this graphical sign for the benefit of the peasants who can't read. flic.kr/p/m17Wmt

Retro Rockets There nothing quite like an antique rocket show, is there? Rekindle those childhood dreams of owning a hot ship like the Galaxy Whizzer or an open-top Zephyr 5000. It's all coming soon to a Tomorrow...

Many people have one thing in common: They get nostalgic about the vehicles that were popular in their youth. It's no different with the Men of Tomorrowland, except that they get excited about old rockets instead of old cars. flic.kr/p/28WRvAA

Don't open door 13 One day while riding the new (and underwhelming) Test Track, all vehicles ground to a halt. We heard a voice that said "Whoever opened door 13, please call the tower." Apparently, opening door 13 is...

Door 13 proved to be lucky one day in 2013. Someone opened the door without permission, causing a ride stoppage giving everyone a behind-the-scenes view of the interior. flic.kr/p/fg87Ku

My Daruma A Daruma doll is a traditional part of the Japanese new year celebration. In Epcot, a Daruma doll vendor imitates the look of a doll while she tells guests about the tradition during the Christmas se...

Just hanging out Jedi masters Kit Fisto and Shaak Ti discuss the weather on Coruscant while waiting to meet another youngling. Star Wars Weekends 2012

"Kit Fisto never comes out for these things." That's what everyone said during Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Shack Ti must have told him how much fun it was. flic.kr/p/cyMPE3

Terror looms on Sunset Blvd. On July 22, 1994, a new attraction opened in Disney's Hollywood Studios: The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. This attraction set a new standard for queue theming.

It was a bright and sunny day. The abandoned Hollywood Tower Hotel stood quietly at the end of Sunset Boulevard. Suddenly, the air filled with screams... flic.kr/p/a4B88n

Fort Wilderness Christmas - Privacy, please A judiciously placed privacy curtain protects Minnie Mouse while she bathes. Fort Wilderness campground at Walt Disney World.

Don't move! Boba Fett has you in his sights as you wait for Disney's Hollywood Studios to open. It's a good thing the "no disintegrations" order is still in effect.

Boba Fett has you in his sights. He can see everyone from his sentry post above the entrance to Disney's Hollywood Studios. Bring back Star Wars Weekends!!! flic.kr/p/87VvH3

Happily Ever After Belle and the Prince Adam dance the night away after they discover their true love for each other. It's a fitting finale to the story of Beauty and the Beast.

Belle has abandoned her books and taken up dancing. Well, for this one night, at least. flic.kr/p/7Luce2

Shipment for The Producers An homage to Mel Brooks' movies and play The Producers, on the dockside at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Long ago, when there was still a studios feel to Disney's Hollywood Studios, the dock next the Min & Bill's Dockside Diner was covered with shipping crates. Those who bothered to stop and look at them saw puns and movie references like this one. flic.kr/p/75tmx7

Everest shrine How many people walk past this shrine and never notice how it resembles the mountains in the background? It's just one of the many small details that Imagineers love to hide in plain sight.

If you're like most people, you hurry back to Expedition Everest without looking at anything else, like moths drawn to a flame. Next time, pause and make a wish at the shrine to the yeti and notice how its shape copies that of the mountain range in the background. flic.kr/p/5Ek7Y6

Make It Faster If you want your car to go faster, improving or even replacing your engine is a good place to start. The engine shop in the Fast & Furious - Supercharged queue is well-equipped to add performance to ...

The queue for Universal Orlando's Fast & Furious - Supercharged attraction is kind of interesting, with several scenes like this in an auto shop and even a live team member in the pre-show. The ride itself, however, seems to be lacking for those unfamiliar with the franchise. flic.kr/p/2oz4eBx

Mega-Stylish When it comes to birds, few can match the panache of the peacock. From the top of the crest to the tip of its long tail feathers, it visually screams "Look at me!" During mating season, that's liter...

Putting the BAM in Jingle BAM! Gertie the Dinosaur is all dolled up for Christmas. The tree is parked in Echo Lake. The sky is full of fireworks. It's Holiday Time in Disney's Hollywood Studios.

In December 2017 fireworks helped "Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!" live up to its name in Disney's Hollywood Studios. One assumes that Wayne's brother Noel the Coal Elf would approve. flic.kr/p/2hpJgxW

Not The Harp I Had In Mind A ride through it's a small world is well known for infecting your mind with its signature tune. But just as nefarious are all of the cultural stereotypes that it enforces. This is not a bad thing, ...

Beware of Sssstone Ssssnakes The queue of Disneyland's Indiana Jones Adventure is full of interesting objects. Some, like this carved snake, are downright scary. It looks like it could spring to life at any moment.

Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes? It's the Indiana Jones Adventure in Disneyland's Adventureland, that's why. flic.kr/p/2jENkk3

PizzeRizzo in Disney's Hollywood Studios is now just a memory, but it was also a place where memories were made. You have to love the detail on this sign, which shows the current schedule and the shadow of events past. flic.kr/p/2iorhoq

I Ain't Got No Body Harry Potter fans who were familiar with the books were surprised when, in the film version of Prisoner of Azkaban, a very chatty shrunken head appeared on the Knight Bus, constantly distracting Ernie...

Has Anyone Seen Poe? BB-8 wandered into Disney's Hollywood Studios one day, apparently looking for Poe Dameron. The highly-skilled rebel pilot was nowhere to be found, but the faithful droid decided to stick around until...

BB-8's search for Poe Dameron has somehow led him to Disney's Hollywood Studios. He snuck into the "Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away" stage show to ask if anyone can help with his search. flic.kr/p/TV4WNm

You're Here! The best thing about a family road trip is finally arriving at your destination. If your travels take you anywhere near Diggs County, Florida, Chester & Hester's Dino-Rama should definitely be on your itinerary. This billboard will tell you when you have arrived.
