That is from the Sun Wheel at DCA. It is the best ride to do first thing in the morning as the line gets backed up quickly, and there is no FastPass. I only ride the ride while I'm eating or drinking. A good break.

-- Sorry. You fell for one of my tricky ones again. But, as for the Sun Wheel, in my experience, the line for the gondolas that don't swing is rarely too long. Of course, I do tend to go on days when the parks aren't very crowded.

Jeff Toro
I will have to guess the Golden Zephyr.


Tim & Malinda
The center of the Golden Zephyr.


John and Heather
This sundial is at the base of the center tower for the Golden Zephyr ride in the Paradise Pier area of DCA.

Jayson Weingarten
I think that is from the Golden Gate Bridge at the enterance to DCA.

-- I had a feeling someone would think of that because of the color.

Tim & Malinda
The side of the California Zephyr at California Adventure.


Jeff Toro
On the side of the Orange Stinger?

-- I wasn't expecting that, though.

John and Heather
This is the left side of the California Zephyr in California Adventure.

The responses I received were:

Jeff Toro
I am going to guess these guys come out of the clock tower on the It's a Small World building.


Jayson Weingarten
That is the Small World Drum Core, which preforms every 15min with the children of the world.


Tim & Malinda
The Small World clock.


Kirby
You are kidding, right?

Specifically these guys are on the Clock at "it's an ear worm.... er... it's a small world" and are seen only every 15 minutes.

-- Why would I kid about that?

BBlast
The Clock at Small World.


John and Heather
The drummers are part of the Clockworks that are on the outside of the ride that shall not be named.....in Fantasyland. John and I just noticed that it is, thankfully, going to be closed until fall '08.

The responses I received were:

Shannon
That is over in Critter Country - Pooh.....


Tim & Malinda
Near the exit of the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.


Jayson Weingarten
That is a honey pot by the Winnie the Pooh ride in Critter Country.


Jeff Toro
My guess is near the Pooh ride.


John and Heather
Since this is one of Pooh's Honeypots, it has to be in Critter Country, in the planter/Meet and Greet area between Pooh's Corner gift shop and the Winnie the Pooh ride.

-- I expected people to think it was part of the ride. I was wondering if anyone would think of the gift shop instead. I knew this one would be tricky.

Kirby
I can't state exactly where in the area this is, but it is obviously in the area of the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Pooh was under construction during my 2002 trip. I plan to look for the Country Bear Tribute while riding it in May.

-- I haven't ridden the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh since media day when it was first opened to the public. I need to go there again so I can get some pictures of that tribute!

Outside wall of the store called the Star Trader in Tomorrowland near Space Mountain.


Tim & Malinda
The neon above the entrance to Star Traders in Tomorrowland.

That is a neon light mural in Tomorrowland.

Since this is "Brer Rabbit", I am going to guess that this statue is in Critter Country, most likely in the queue for Splash Mountain.

The responses I received were:

Tim & Malinda
Must be somewhere near the Tower of Terror but can't tell you where.


Jayson Weingarten
That is a display window in Disney's California Adventure, I think by the Hollywood Pictures side.


John and Heather
I am going to guess that this photo is from the Hollywood Backlot area of DCA, by the Tower of Terror. If I remember correctly this is the club on the top floor of the Hotel in the movie that the ghosts are trying to get to.


Kirby
I'm not sure where in the building this sign is, but the Tip Top Club is the nightclub on the top floor of the Hollywood Tower Hotel in the backstory of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.

During my first trip to Disneyland in 2002, the ToT was being built. I've never been to the Hollywood (ex MGM) Studios park in Florida.

-- Just for you, I included a picture showing the tower under construction here on the answer page.

Where would you find this? Who does it honor?

Answer:
This window is above the entrance to the Blue Ribbon Bakery on Main Street, U.S.A. Wally Boag performed as Pecos Bill in the Golden Horseshoe Revue stage show from 1955 to 1982, except for three years when it moved to the new Walt Disney World resort as the Diamond Horseshoe Revue in 1971. The show is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the longest running revue in history.


Click on the image to enlarge

The responses I received were:

Jayson Weingarten
That window honors Wally V. Boag, a talented performer at the Golden Horseshoe Revue (and also the Diamond in Walt Disney World).


John and Heather
The window is on Main Street above the Carnation Cafe. Wally Boag was a performer at the Golden Horseshoe Saloon and did several other jobs, like assisting with the script for the Enchanted Tiki Room and The Haunted Mansion.

-- Did you get the location for the window from Wikipedia? I noticed his page there says it is on the Carnation Cafe, but that is incorrect. The Carnation Cafe is a courtyard restaurant -- ie: outdoors (no windows). This window is on the Main Street, U.S.A. side of the Blue Ribbon Bakery, not the side next to Carnation Cafe.
    Heather responds
    You caught me.
Tim & Malinda
Along Main Street USA.
