The Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles appeared at Disney MGM Studios in 1990 and did performances until 1996. The Turtles would pull up in their Turtle Party Wagon (which did not resemble the van they drove in the animated series) and dace around their stage while April O'neal sang. This stage was located back on New York Street. They did "sign" autographs and took pictures with guests as well.

| Lets open my autograph book that I got in 1989 |
 |
| This was the first instance that I can remember where the character used a stamp for and autograph |
 |
| The outfits were too cumbersome to actually sign their names |
 |
| I guess them having three fingers didn't help either |
 |
| April O'Neal was the only human character, so she is able to sign her name |
This was huge with my brother and I since we absolutely loved everything Turtles around this time. The cartoon show (1987) was very popular as well as action figures and other mechandise. The live action film debuted in 1990, along with two sequels to follow in the early 90's. There is also many shows that have aired over the years on television. There is actually a new series the will begin airing on Nickelodeon starting in 2012.
It's really funny you have these pictures. My coworker is ALWAYS asking if the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are still in DHS when I go down to WDW. haha. Of course, I always have to give him the disappointing news but it's nice to see it for myself. I'm loving your blog!
