Speedwaystar1 and MBSmart posted these on my pickup thread. :3
Pardon me for asking, but could someone please break this down. What is each item and where is each one found specifically in the park?
I think the vinyl versions have a variant of the dole whip as the Citrus Swirl.
These are all based on DLR attractions specifically, but they mostly mirror their WDW sisters.Pardon me for asking, but could someone please break this down. What is each item and where is each one found specifically in the park?
Starting at the top, you've got the Alice Teacup, Space Mountain, the Jungle Cruise boat, a Dole whip, the Haunted Mansion candelabra, the Sword in the Stone, the Peoplemover carriage, and the Dumbo ride.

People are charging silly prices for some of those things... I couldn't believe it.
But not for the sword! It was cost. #nicheforthewin

Especially considering they're Limited Release and there are still a good number of them around...

Isn't the bottom left one a Skyway car, not the Peoplemover? I don't remember the Peoplemover having a top, and it looks just like the old Skyway cars...
No, it is definitely Peoplemover. It's based on the old Disneyland ride car. The same set in vinylmation form has a separate Skyway figure that is more round in shape, the previous page of this thread has an image of it.

At WDW where are DoleWhip and Citrus Swirl sold? And where at WDW is the Sword located?
Dole whip are at the Sunset Terrace, or something like that, next to the Tiki Room. Not sure about the citrus swirl. The Sword is in front of the carousel I'm fantasyland.

^Not only did they switch places, they also took the names with them. The Sunshine Tree Terrace is now where the Aloha Isle is and vice versa. Makes me sad, because I don't get the Dole Whip craze because I'm allergic to pineapple. Anything pineapple sets my mouth and throat aflame.
I'm the same, but only with fresh pineapple. I can eat Dole Whip since it's been processed, but I don't ever get it since the pineapple flavor is off in some way that I can't put my finger on. I tried the Citrus Swirl on my last trip, but the combination of the heat, humidity, citrus, and cream made me feel ill after eating about a quarter of it. So I'm not a big fan of either. The pin is adorable, though!

Nope its the Disneyland Peoplemover, ours differs from the one in WDW
Ah, whoa, look at that! I've never seen a Peoplemover like that. Is it still like that, or did they change it at some point? I've only been to DLR once (2008, I think?), but I must have totally missed it if they still look like that.
Sadly we no longer have a Peoplemover at all! They tried to make it a faster more thrilling ride called the Rocket Rods in the late 90's. But that didn't last long. Now we just have the barren track to remind us all of what once was!
It's kind of the same boat as Everest, honestly. They have considered putting PM back, but the issue is the cost of the tires that propelled it. The DL version was propelled completely differently than Florida's (ours was pulled along by the constant motion of rubber tires actually laid in the track), and originally Goodyear was the sponsor, which meant unlimited supply of tires. They're sort of at a standstill with doing too much to DL's Tomorrowland yet, because that area is going to need another massive makeover, and hopefully that's on the list after Star Wars Land opens up. They don't know whether to replace the attraction with something new/similar, or try to remove as much of the track as possible.
