I guess you could say the lines where bad. This image was taken Christmas eve at Epcot.  Click image to enlarge. 

I've actually known about this one for a while, however this was the first time I could snap a shot of it.

 This one is located in Downtown Disney, next to the main Disney store main entrance ( more or less, South/East of the buillding)

While attending the ASIS event in Las Vegas, I came across one of the few R2-D2 mail boxes around the country.  This is is located outside the main entrance of the Las Vegas Convention center, North.

As I arrived at the Denver convention center for the CEDIA show.  I came across this rather large blue bear peaking into the convention center's front entrance. 

 Note the size of the bear is impressive. Notice the gentleman sitting in the chair below the bear

Back in the late 70's, my dad who reconditioned old slot machines sold at least 4 of these Clamshell Mutoscopes to Disney for their new theme park in Florida.

 Click images to enlarge Up until the late 80's these where located in the penny arcade on Main street. However, Disney turned the old penny arcade into a modern video game arcade and removed all their penny machines, including the ones pictured above. Fast forward to 2006, I now live about 40 minutes from Disney World. While at the park a few weeks ago we where caught in one of Florida's daily rain storms. When I took cover in the newly remodeled train station's second floor, to my surprise, I came across my fathers old machines. I remember playing on these in our basement along with all the other old slot machines, steam shovel games and some very old pin ball machines.
