DL-1

I found one survey mark in Disneyland during my brief visit there in January, 2004. It's in the bricks between Rivers of America and the entrance queue for Pirates of the Caribbean. Link to waymark.

DL-2

Meg and Lloyd found a couple of survey monument covers. This one, from Meg, is at the south end of Main Street near the flagpole. The cover is about 10" in diameter. Link to waymark.

Lloyd spotted this monument cover at the north end of Main Street, not far from the Walt and Mickey statue. Link to waymark.

DL-4

Larry and Julie found this mark near the Haunted Mansion in 2003. As you can see, it was partly painted over even then. It was destroyed during subsequent repaving.

DL-5

This one is also missing in action. When Larry photographed it in 2003, it was near the southern end of what's now a smoking area. It was engraved JT 1761.

Mark near Matterhorn

DL-6

This one was not far from the Matterhorn mark, near the old Submarine Ride lagoon. It had the notation JT 1760. It's another one that got paved over. Or possibly removed by Disney before the area was repaved. In any event, it's gone.

DL-7

In August, 2005, Larry was strolling near the entrance to the Tomorrowland monorail station when he discovered this mark. Since he's been looking for these things for quite some time now and never spotted this one, I suspect that it was installed during the recent Matterhorn refurbishment. (Notice also that it's the newer "Disneyland Resort" style that was first used when DCA was built.) Link to waymark.

Update: When the submarine ride reopened at Disneyland in 2007, this benchmark ended up being right where the new queue runs. Larry reports that it's about a lane into the queue, and with the popularity of the ride, it's often hidden under guests' feet. So it may be a little hard to find, but it's still there. The good news is that it's getting really well polished by everyone's shoes rubbing it! :-)

DL-8

August, 2005 was lucky for other folks, too. Independently, Tony and Lloyd found this mark in the smoking area near the Autopia and the Matterhorn. Its location is between the now-defunct DL-5 and DL-6. Because it's the newer style marker also used at DCA, Lloyd speculates that it, like DL-7, was installed when this area was closed off for the Matterhorn refurbishment. Larry later took a few more photos of it. Link to waymark.

DL-9

Larry found this one by deduction! He was standing at DL-7 and realized that in order for a surveyor there to see DL-3 in the central plaza, there would have to be another mark southwest of the Matterhorn. So he patiently (more or less) waited for the evening parade to finish, then went to the designated location, and there it was! Excellent work, Sherlock! Er, I mean Larry.... Link to waymark.
