Preservation of peace

Plaques are commonly placed on buildings tell the story of the building, list an accolade the architect has been honored with, lists the occupants or warnings for the building, or is the dedication for the building. Even in the future, this is not an uncommon practice.

A small plaque next to the door of Stitch’s Great Escape, or the Galactic Federation Prisoner Teleport Center, in Tomorrowland is, in fact, the dedication of the building. Unfortunately for most guests it is written in the language of the Galactic Federation. After consulting with the Main Street Gazette’s resident translator, we have deciphered this mysterious sign so that all inhabitants of Earth, or at least those that read English, to read.

PRISOONER TELEPORT CENTER IS
HEREBY DEDICATED TO THE
PRESERVATION OF PEACE AND
HARMONY THROUGHOUT THE

NICE FROM THE NAUGHTY

THE GRAND COUNCILWOMAN
2004 NOVEMBER 16

The date is easy enough to understand, it is the date upon which Stitch’s Great Escape opened in the Magic Kingdom. However, as to the rest of it, well, it looks like the Grand Councilwoman had a conversation with Santa Claus.
