Once I've got it created I'll be sure to share the pdf so if you have little ones you can use it, too. So here's the parameters I'm aiming for -- avoid characters as much as possible. avoid things like G is for Grand Californian Hotel...instead that would be H is for hotel -but --- I would probably use P is for Peoplemover and I'm trying to select words that represent the letter sounds avoiding blends like shamrock for S or churro for C (sorry churro fans) Some ideas I currently have are: B balloon C car (autopia) D door (any number of fun Disney doors) E elephant (as in elephant pool) F fireworks G giraffe M monorail P popcorn T train W windmill (it's a small world) I'm looking forward to seeing what your Disney theme park alphabet looks like. Rebekah.

Thanks so much !
