I am guessing that it is in Adventureland somewhere, most likely in the Tarzan Treehouse or the Jungle Cruise. Maybe at Grizzly River Rapids, but I don't think so. This was tough!
-- I was hoping the lighting would be a good clue, but then, it is in a place most casual day visitors never go to.

Tim & Malinda
At the Grand Californian.

Luz Blythe
The Grand Californian.

Jeff Toro
Inside Club 33? No really, I haven't a clue.
-- I haven't been in there. Yet...

Who is this? Where would you see them?

Answer:
This is the Laughing Stock comedy group performing in front of the Golden Horseshoe. One or two of them also perform inside the saloon with the Billy Hill & The Hillbillies show. A couple others are from my favorite (and no longer performing) D.U.H. show in California Adventure.

Don't know the name of the cast but it is outside of the Golden Horseshoe.

John and Heather
This is the upper railing for the Golden Horseshoe Saloon in Frontierland. But we don't know who the gunmen are.

Jayson Weingarten
They are the Hill Billies on top of the Golden Horseshoe Saloon.

Tim & Malinda
The show outside the Golden Horseshoe.

Jeff Toro
Well, these cowboys are on the rooftop of the Golden Horseshoe Saloon, but for the life of me I can't recall their names.

Who is this?

Answer:
This is Princess Aurora (aka Sleeping Beauty), signing a couple fans' autograph books.

The responses I received were:

Jeff Toro
Aurora from Sleeping Beauty.

I already guessed Aurora, she's the tall princess, the other 2 princesses stump me though... Possibly a young Snow White and Cinderella.

Sleeping Beauty outside the castle.

This is Sleeping Beauty.

Jayson Weingarten

Another guess, but since there is "dust" and it's not dark, I am going to say the Hollywood Tower Hotel lobby.

John and Heather
First - Happy Birthday to DRMP!

We think this is part of the Haunted Mansion during the Nightmare before Christmas decorations.

I am taking a guess, and will say the janitor closet inside the women's bathroom near the castle and Matterhorn line, you know the "knights and damsels" restrooms. That is the only place in DL I think Tom has never been.
-- Oh, you think I haven't been in there, huh? lol

Luz Blythe
Rancho del Zocolo restrooms.

Jayson Weingarten
I think that is on the wall as you go from Ariel's Grotto to California Screamin' in DCA.
-- That's exactly what I guessed!

What show is this?

Answer:
This was D.U.H. (Department of Untapped Hilarity), a show that used to take place on the Hollywood Pictures Backlot stage in California Adventure. The show closed when they remodeled this section of the park for the opening of the Monster's Inc. Mike & Sully to the Rescue ride.

Where would you see this?

Answer:
This was kind of a trick question, since the ride hasn't opened to the public yet (at the time I'm posting this -- it will open in just a few hours), but I was glad to see that didn't make it too difficult. This is in the lagoon, where the new Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage will be opening to the public this morning, Monday, June 11, 2007.

The new Nemo Sub Adventure? And by the way, props to all that have been on this ride, I can't make it to DL until late Oct....
-- I'll be standing in the very long line this Wednesday.

BBlast
This is a total guess..I will say that this is in the pond of the new Submarine ride. And btw, is that considered Disney poop on that platform?
-- I guess you could call it that.

Shannon
The new Nemo ride.

Richard Blythe
Mine mine mine, mine mine.

Tim & Malinda
This is in the lagoon of the new Nemo Sub ride.

Heather
We have not seen the new sub ride yet, but I would guess this is part of the Finding Nemo Submarine ride.

John
I would like to add to what my wife said: "Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine...!!!"
