Getaway Stagecoach Line

Disney Vacation Club information kiosks appear throughout the Disney Parks. While the content may be ubiquitous, each installation is uniquely designed to mesh with the storytelling of its surrounding area. One of the best examples is right here at the edge of Frontierland in the form of the Getaway Stagecoach Line.

Wherever you're headed, the Getaway Stagecoach Line can take you there. Just step into their offices and check with the Station Master for information on the next run.

Plenty of fun details like the lanterns, jugs and potbelly stove help set the scene, but some of the best storytelling is found in the graphics. So many folks pass right by this office on their way out to Grizzly Hall or Chickapin Hill, but there's lots to see for those willing to take the time to look.

Take this poster, for example, laying out the policies of the Line. It seems mighty fine, until you notice that the text gets smaller and smaller to the point where it's plum near unreadable. That last paragraph..?

"WE WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACTS BY HIGHWAYMEN, SAVAGES, BEING BROKEN DOWN OR ANY UNFORESEEN CONDITIONS THAT MAY RESULT IN BEING DELAYED OR NOT ARRIVING TO YOUR DESTINATION. WE CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO NOTIFY NEXT OF KIN IN THE EVENT OF A CATASTROPHIC OCCURRENCE OR UNEXPECTED FATALITY."

The map along the back wall identifies our location at Homestead Pass, not far from the Trading Post. It also reveals other points in the Western Territory, including Fort Wilderness and Big Thunder Mountain.

Of course, most of the destinations mentioned in the literature are locations of Disney Vacation Club resorts at Walt Disney World and elsewhere. The majority of coach service is east of the Mississippi to places like Saratoga Springs, Hilton Head and Vero Beach. The arrival/departure board has a couple interesting mentions, though:

There's Disneyland, where a new wing of Disney Vacation Club villas recently opened as part of Disney's Grand Californian Hotel. But there's also an indication of Tokyo Disneyland. To my knowledge, no Disney Vacation Club property has been announced for that resort, but as the board says, "Soon... Hopefully!"
