Upon arrival exactly at 6:03am, we were officially numbers 13 and 14 in line. As soon as we had jumped in line, Ronn (DLR's Special Events Coordinator) walked us into the Downtown Disney District to line up in front of D Street. Wristbands were given out at 7:09am, and everyone preceded to scatter for breakfast! :)
Finally, four hours later at 10am, D Street opened it's doors! They let everyone in one by one and gave you time to check out as many of the World of Color vinyls as you wanted to ensure you left the store with the one you wanted! Here's a shot of most of the vinyls lined up behind the counter.
We left Disneyland around 10:30am and headed down Katella Ave to have a proper breakfast at Denny's! Afterwards, we headed back to Disneyland and parked in the Mickey & Friends parking lot were we took a nap for about an hour and a half in the car. We headed back to D Street shortly after 1pm where we ran into this beauty pictured below. Noah's 5 foot World of Color Vinyl! Amazing!
The line was relatively short, and it wasn't long before we were in front of the man himself, Noah! We had him sign our World of Color vinyls first! Here he is carefully adding some details to the first vinyl.
Noah and The Feisty One!
Then, of course, I had him sign a 9" Black Create Your Own vinyl for me!
What attracted to me to this particular vinyl was the evenness of the colors. This vinyl immediately jumped out at me from behind the D Street register. The acrylic case completely comes off, up and over the base. Here are the two pieces side by side.

Another reason why I picked this particular vinyl was that I really liked the "splash/water" design on the case. Out of all the vinyls and cases I examined, this one seemed to look the best!
World of Color case top view:
The vinyl has a piece of velcro on the bottom of its feet that loosely attaches to another piece of velcro attached to the base of the case. The top part of the acrylic case does not secure to the base at all, but rather just sits directly on top of it.
This is the label on the box that the vinyl came in. It reads number 1 of 24. I am not 100% sure if this is truly the 1st World of Color vinyl of 24? Can anyone confirm or deny this? For now, I'll just claim this one is number one! :)
And last but not least, the CYO 9" vinyl that Noah signed for me!
Noah's logo, followed by his signature on the head of the vinyl.
And my very own on-line moniker on the body! Noah made this look very cool!!!
And actually, in the picture from the very top of this post, Noah is actually holding my vinyl on top of his 5 foot vinyl! Pretty awesome! :)
All in all, this day was pretty awesome! Noah was super cool (as usual)! He is always very kind and happy to meet all of his fans. Noah's vinyls were already some of my favorite out of all the designs. But actually getting to meet him and speak with him makes me respect and appreciate him all the more.And Noah, if your out there... keep up the amazing work! You are so humble in your demeanor! And I will continue to support and praise your work! God bless!
