It’s 1958, and after just catching a show at the Mickey Mouse Club Theater, you wander over to this Fantasyland Souvenir Booth to do some shopping.

But low and behold, a green trash can attracts your eye! How many can you spot in this photo?

While we have previously looked pretty closely at both the circus-themed and fake wood cans in the Magic Kingdom’s new Storybook Circus area, this is the first photo we have showing the “inlet” side of the wood units.

Much like the red circus cans, the same generic font was used to label “Bottles and Cans Only” vs. using something that fit in better with the style of the area.

So close, yet so far.

We return to Storybook Circus for a closer look at the duel trash/recycling cans found in this new area of Fantasyland. Out in front of Dumbo, you’ll note that there really isn’t much difference in design between the two types of bins. It’s too bad the font for “Bottles and Cans Only” didn’t blend better with the rest of the style.

Not only does Fantasyland’s Storybook Circus area feature festive circus-themed trash cans. But over by the new Fantasyland Train Station, you’ll find these rustic wood units that help reenforce the theme of Carolwood Park. Nice touch!

Per the photographer, the detail on these cans is created via “photo print wraps” and not paint, thus why they are quite glossy in appearance.

Part of the Storybook Circus section of the Magic Kingdom’s New Fantastyland expansion “soft opened” today. And yup, they’ve got new trash cans! What do you think?

We sail into black & white Fantasyland and weigh anchor next to a wonderful trash can!

Take a look at the detail… aside from the “Waste Paper” messaging, there are icons showing a broom and dustpan on the logo shield. The word “PUSH” is backed by a ribbon design on the inlet flap, tying into the medieval theme quite well. And there you have Guests hanging out next to it, just because this refuse container is so awesome.

Now that’s a Magical Trash can!

Walt always said, “After I die, make sure all digital representations of my likeness appear with a trash can at my feet!”

It’s time for a 1958 black & white look at Midget Autopia and its non-traditional bullet-style trash cans in the loading area. While the can in this shot appears to be a solid dark color, 2 years later we discover that these cans were painted blue and white!

Either it’s quite windy in France or these trash cans got tired.
