Originally Posted By danyoung Thanks for that, TDLFAN - I thought the same thing - either Katella or Harbor.

It's not like you're going to confuse it with other geodesic spheres that are icons of other theme parks.

Originally Posted By mousefun [I can see the Matterhorn from I-5 but I do not recall ever seeing the castle as I speed past DL's Katella exit at 80mph..] Castle easily seen going North or south on interstate 5. How ugly is that for landmark? Yuck. [Is there a better site in the world than taking the ferry across the water and seeing teh castle rising on the horizon?] Ahhh. Great taste! Taking the Ferry to the Magic Kingdom, see the park get closer, the castle growing bigger, the wind at your face, is one of Disney's greatest and most under appreciated theme park moments. Next time at WDW...do take the Ferry!

Originally Posted By danyoung >Castle easily seen going North or south on interstate 5.< I'll be out there this Christmas, so I'll see for myself. I have very clear images of the Matterhorn from the freeway, but I can't come up with a smidge of the castle from that view.
Originally Posted By fkurucz ^^I have no recollection of ever seeing the Castle from I5. You can see the Matterhorn pretty easily, as well as the backdrop of ToonTown.

Originally Posted By Nobody From good old post # 40: "[Nope #1 is, was and always will be SB's Castle!!!} Tiny. Looks like a Tinker Toy. Nowhere close." I must have missed the memo. when did "icon" become a synonym for "huge" (or any specific size for that matter)?
Originally Posted By danyoung >On one hand its a nice experience. On the other hand it teases you as it sllloooowwwllllyyy approches the MK.< But that's what makes it so fun! I love hitting the ferry first thing in the morning. As people are cramming onto the crowded monorails, I'm enjoying a leisurely boatride across the Seven Seas Lagoon. And I still manage to get to the MK before it actually opens, so why hurry?
