You Know You're in WDW when...The Everyday Adventures Of The Purple Van June 23, 2009

[jdvm]

You know you're at WDW when you see the Hollywood Studios Tower of Terror sign in the median of World Drive. The 3-D elevator shakes violently with broken cables dangling, there are strobe lights tracing its fall from the top and there's a flashing red "4" indicating the number of drops on the attraction.

There are lots of landmarks that let you know you're back in Disney but this is one of my favorites.

And, if you drive by it a lot, as some of us do in the purple van, you can also use it as a clock. The elevator starts shaking every morning at 8:15.

My boys love that "sign"! (OK, I do, too!)

Your "Adventures" are great....you could combine them into one *Ongoing Saga of the Purple Van* that way subscribers to the thread would always get the updated adventure! I'd hate to miss one

Thanks John! I sure appreciate your efforts though have to say that Tower of Terror is one attraction that 'been there, done that' and don't care to do it again.

DH and I love seeing this as we enter WDW, we always look at each other and say "We're home now".

Can't wait until I see that sign again in person. Thanks for the taste of Disney John!

Thanks John for the photo and the info on the clock aspect of this landmark

OK, RLRDA, great idea...now can you tell me why didn't I think of that???
"because you're a boy" is not an acceptable answer, by the way. Starting today, I'll use the same thread!
thx again!

I'm glad I came up with a useful idea ! Looking forward to the new "Everyday Adventures" thread!!

P.S.- Having 3 DSs - I would never say "because you're a boy" - in my house boys rule
