The sign is surrounded by a thin yellow border.<\/p>\n<p><a data-fslightbox=\"1\" data-type=\"image\" aria-label=\"Open fullscreen lightbox with current image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_3519-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_3519-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"It appears the crew was doing paint touch-ups on the sign during installation.\" class=\"wp-image-1401712\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It appears the crew was doing paint touch-ups on the sign during installation. <\/p>\n<p>For reference, here is the old sign:<\/p>\n<p><a data-fslightbox=\"1\" data-type=\"image\" aria-label=\"Open fullscreen lightbox with current image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-210-edited.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"901\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-210-edited.png\" alt=\"The old Big Thunder Mountain Railroad sign\" class=\"wp-image-1401710\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/selfservice.or.occompt.com\/ssweb\/document\/DOC4252S2460?search=DOCSEARCH2959S2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-describedby=\"external-link-warning\">permit<\/a>\u00a0filed the other day was contracted to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designcommunicationsltd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-describedby=\"external-link-warning\">Design Communications Ltd.<\/a>, who have created\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wdwnt.com\/2025\/02\/disney-files-permit-for-new-disney-vacation-club-lounge-sign-at-magic-kingdom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-describedby=\"external-link-warning\">signs<\/a>\u00a0for several Walt Disney World attractions and venues.
