Adventureland and Frontierland Signs

At the juncture of Adventureland and Frontierland a plethora of signs direct guests to the attractions of each land. The photograph showcases the great layering and depth of Disneyland theming, with tiki totems and rattan designs in the background. I am going to assume that Amazon Belle is now wanting to see a series on the phone booths at Disneyland.

I think this is my favorite of the b&w sign images you've posted. I love the outline of the tree branches and vines creeping up the tilted signpost. The lettering fonts on the Adventure Bazaar are great too as is the phone booth. Lots of detail here. Thanks.

It really is impressive how many layers, textures, and designs are included in just this one image. Great rare shot of a side of the Bazaar that I've never seen before!

Ha! How did you know that would be the first thing I would "lock onto" in the photo? I would walk past that telephone booth all the time on my way to the backstage entrance to the Adventure/Frontierland offices and break room.

What was funny about this particular phone booth is it was located next to both the men's and women's restroom BUT beyond the entrance to the women's room. Many guys would try and stop a lady from walking beyond their door saying, "This is the men's room!" They would quickly retort, "This is a telephone booth, would you mind if I make a call?"

Always your pal,
Amazon Belle

PS I think you are on to something... a series of telephone booths at Disneyland. You got the Adventureland one already, let's go with the Frontierland stockade.

PSS was there ever really a cantina in the Bazaar?

Just wondering...

Yes, this photo is a beauty; I wish I could find a contemporary view from this exact angle to see how much it has changed!

@Matthew - I'm pretty sure there was the Tropical Cantina next to the Bazaar which later became Sunkist "I Presume" then Bengal Barbecue.

Thanks K. Martinez for your response. I will have to check that out.

Warmly,
Amazon Belle AKA Matt
