They started at the northeast corner, and proceded alphabetically to the west, row, by row, working their way from the Cast Member parking, all the way back to the corner of Katella and West St. |

Wed 1/4/2006 3:03p | Correct! Originally, the lot was just letters, but at some point (I believe in teh early 70's) they added characters whose names started with the same letter. That's why tere were some seemingly obvious characters that were missing from the lot. |

Thu 1/5/2006 9:22a | Also, it wasn't perfect. I think there were two M's, and some letters were skipped. I'll see if I can't find an old map. Stay tuned for the new question . . . . |

Fri 1/6/2006 10:05a | The outdoor queue of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride currently features a large, vine-entwined trellis, but this was not always so. Prior to 1995, what was the most prominent structural element of the outdoor queue area?
Hint: it was very large, and you weren't supposed to notice it. |
