OK, we are back to our regular Disney trivia (meaning, no prize!) :)

On which Disney World attraction can you hear this announcement:

"Paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow, your party from Saturn has arrived, please give them a ring."

I sincerely hope people in the path of Katrina have taken shelter, and wish them all the best in the next few hours. It was about this time last year that Francis was about to bear on central Florida. The hurricane moved excruciatingly slow. I remember it well because I made a similar plan to fly out to Orlando on the Saturday that it was literally hovering on top of central florida. It took amost 2 days for the whole carnage to be over.

To make matters worse, while this one was going on another hurricane Jenine was developing in the caribbean and could potentially strike the area again. So we were faced with a decision at that time. We already delayed our departure to the following Wednesday, hoping that the area would have been cleared enough that the basic facilities are available, and of course, the theme parks were open. But now, did we risk going and possibly get stranded by another hurricane?

Of course we went, and that shows, more than anything else, how nutty we were. And to put simply, it was THE most wonderful times of our lives. We called it our vacation in between two hurricanes. The parks were empty, all the hard-to-get-in restaurants were available, hardly any lines for the attractions and characters greetings, and we could see La Nouba simply by walking up to the box office and buying tickets.

So when Katrina appeared, all I can think of was "oh dear, here we go again...". It was almost at the same time of the year, and I'm looking behind Katrina to see if she has a sister or brother that's following her. I admit I was being very selfish by wishing that it would veer off away from central florida. It did. My trip next week is still safe. But millions of people in her path are not.

I truly wish them well...

Well, there's a reason it's cheap to go to FL or get Carribean cruises this time of year. :wink: This one is looking especially bad, but any of the southern coastal vacation spots are risky during hurricane season.

Splash Mountain album

Hey, I hope you guys can access this. I've uploaded pictures (in sequence too, I might add) of the Splash Mountain ride at the Magic Kingdom. It's my most favorite attraction at MK.

Evo, you win a Disney pin! This is on top of the Passholder pin that I had already promised you and Moonbie earlier.

So, if the two of you can PM me with the details on where you'd like those pins mailed to, I can try to get them out this week before I leave for Disney World.

Stay tune. There will be MORE Disney trivia contests with more pins to win after I get back! :)

YEAH! :!)

I didn't have internet access all weekend. And no one noticed I was gone. :cry:

Naturally, for the upcoming Labor Day holidays, Disney will have a Labor Day pin. Since I've been at Disney World for the past 2 Labor Days, I have the previous 2 years' Labor Day pins. So this will only add to my "growing" collection.

Looking at the future releases at WDW, it appears that the number of pins being released is considerably low when compared to Disneyland Resort. I'm guessing that they are holding back the floodgates for the Happiest Pin Celebration pin event at Epcot where more than 100 pins will be released, including several huge sets.

They also haven't announed any commemorative pins for the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland on Sept. 12. I hope they release a few surprise pins by Sept. 11 before I leave.

So how SICK is this?

I'm only a few days away from going to Disney World (I know, I know, people are getting sick of hearing it) and also attending one of the largest pin event ever held. And what did I do today, of all things? I was on a stupid PIN HUNT! And not only that, I was doing that at, of all places, Home Depot!

I found out through someone that Energizer batteries had a special AA batteries pack that contains Disney pins! Horrors! I just had to investigate this myself. So since I had to go get some stuff for my orchids anyway, I went to the nearest Home Depot. It was an embarassing sight. I was crawling on my hands and knees looking at their lowest shelf that had the specially-marked AA batteries that had the Disney pins. And not only that, there were FIVE different pins completing the set. And they were all part of the continuing (some say, never ending) Happiest Celebration on Earth for Disneyland.

So now, I have 5 packs of AA Energizer batteries. I have no idea what to do with them after I take out the pins.

First of all, I hate Rush Limbaugh. You'll see the connection by the end of this.

Now, if you're in the US, you would have seen a commercial on TV like this after the Superbowl. They'll feature one of the football player in the commercial and the narrator asks "So-and-so, you have just won the Superbowl. What are you going to do now?"

The football player than replies "I'm going to Disney World!"

You know that commercial, yeah?

Well, here's another version:

Narrator: "Robert, you just rode out Hurricane Katrina. Your house is underwater, and your furniture is floating down the Mississippi. What are you going to do now?"

Robert: "I'm going to Disney World!"

Sounds crass and insensitive? Well I'm not making this up! A caller to the Rush Limbaugh show actually said as much. When they figured out that they lost everything, since they have already packed up their clothings and stuff, they're making their way to Orlando and Disney World!

I was going to keep these till the next GayDays celebration at the Magic Kingdom in 2006, but since I'm such a "gay unfriendly" fella (my friends here were laughing hysterically when they heard that), I'll put this out now.

The first picture was taken from my room at the Grand Floridian during the GayDays weekend in 2002. Honest to god, the rainbow coming behind the left side of the Contemporary Resort isn't a digital manipulation. Everyone of us who saw it were having our own "moments".

The second picture is from the actual GayDay at Magic Kingdom 2005 (i.e. this past June), and shows the beginnings of the "sea of red" throughout the theme park.

Titan Arum is blossoming!

Being reported at WDWMagic, for the 2nd year in a row, the plant that produces the largest and "stinkiest" bloom is blossoming at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

http://www.wdwmagic.com/animal.htm

I'll see if I can find it and will report if I smell anything.

Disney released a surprise pin today, and it's a winner!

http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/pin?id=11398

So now I have to slightly modify my plans. As soon as I get there on Sat. I'm making a beeline to the pin station at the Contemporary Resort to get the Suprise pin from a week ago (or was it 2 weeks ago?). Then a quick stop at the Magic Kingdom (have to get my Splash Mountain fix as soon as possible, you know), and then off to the Animal Kingdom to get this pin! And the Zawadi Marketplace, which is the only place this pin will be available, is waaaay at the back of the park, I think, in the African section.

Don't worry, I'll be wearing comfy shoes! There will be a lot of walking (and a little bit of running).

This isn't exactly a surprise pin since it was announced awhile back, but it is being released also today. It's one of the better pin in the Walt Disney's Legacy series. It depicts Walt's Hyperion Studio.

A very nicely done pin, I might add. (of course I'll be getting one... or more. :))

Greetings from the Happiest Place on Earth!

I'm here! And guess what was the first thing we did after checking into our hotel? We went to the pin station at the Contemporary Resort to get that surprise pin from a week ago! So Moonbie dear, I have that "Bored Meeting" pin!

We then went to the Magic Kingdom and spent the rest of the day/early evening there. Did part of a scavenger hunt for the Virtual Magic Kingdom online game (I got a glow-in-the-dark hand band, and several magic codes for my character and room in that online game). We then did Haunted Mansion, It's A Small World, and Mickey Philharmagic. Not bad for a first day. We then got tired and didn't say for Spectromagic and Wishes (we have been up since 3:30 am and will have plenty of time to do those later in the week).

Will try to upload pictures later when I have the time. But today, we're doing Epcot! There's a special Character greetings (with a free keepsake picture) for Disney's Visa cardholder (waves hand). So after doing Soarin' and Test Track, we'll stick around till the character event.

After that, we're going to Downtown Disney to shop our brains out. There's this "golden" train set that I am dying to get my hands on...

Evo, Moonbie: wish you were here.

Cool! Is it as nice up close and in person as it looked in the picture? Will you really wear it to meetings? :biggrin:

Evo, Moonbie: wish you were here.
I'm sure not nearly as much as we're wishing we were there!

Moonbie, looks like someone found out about us. The game's over!

So how's the unpacking going on way up in the mountains, hon?

Moonbear said:

It's VERY cool. I bought one extra for you. So you'll get to see it some time soon. I also bought that jumbo pin that has the instructions on how to draw Mickey (I mentioned about the pin a while back). The pin is, in a words, FABULOUS. I think it will become my most favorite pin. Too bad it costs an arm and a leg.

I also commited to a rather HUGE thing (some people already think I should be commited, so why not go all the way?). I enrolled in the Disney Vacation Club. This is almost like a time-share thing, but Disney version. I bought enough points for about 2 weeks of vacation a year at any Disney resort all over the world, but with my homebase here at Disney World at the Saratoga Springs resort. The nice thing about the DVC is that you are not stuck with a set time of the year to use it. You can come at any time, stay at any place. The only factor in it is that you use up different amount of points at different resorts at different times of the year. The resorts that are designated as DVC resorts have the lowest number of points per night. And these resorts are almost like a home - they have large bathrooms, kitchens, and the 1-2 bedrooms have pull-out sofa-beds, washing machines/dryer, etc. The Saratoga Springs (which is our home base) have 6 (count 'em) swimming pools, a health club and a spa (for a low fee). Can't you just see me doing a 1-hour aromatherapy facials? :) The kicker is that it is walking distance to Downtown Disney (or a short boat ride), which is my favorite location in all of Disney World.

In any case, as soon as we told them that we are signing up, we immediately got the greetings "Welcome Home". That is what they greet all their DVC members. They gave us this nice canvas bag to hold all our DVC documents. Turns out they give this only to people who signed up, so all the cast members we bumped into on our way out were wishing us "Welcome Home". I was grinning from ear to ear since I am such a sucker for things like this. They gave us temporary DVC ID cards that we can use immediately for discounts throughout the resort (and believe me, we have used it already). And of course, the first thing we did was get pins that were DVC members exclusive! How sick is THAT?! :)

Anyway, today, we're doing Animal Kingdom - mainly to get that surprise pin from 4 days ago. Then back to Downtown Disney for more shopping. We already have one shipment sent home already, and that includes that Golden train set! Tomorrow, I have to drive back to the Orlando airport to pick up a couple of friends flying into join us for the rest of the trip. So the group will grow even more. There's plenty more of the trip to look forward to...

Cheers, and have a Magical Day!

I'm tempted to keep it to myself.
You got Zz a purse? :rolleyes: Weeeeeelllll, maybe I'll just keep that one for myself. :biggrin: Thanks! That's just my style too.

Zz, sounds like you're having a great time! Don't forget to ride some rides in between all that shopping. :bugeye:

I'm almost done unpacking here. Yay! I have two more boxes in my office that I just shoved into a closet because I'm dreading unpacking those. I'm not even sure what's in them, I think it might be all the crap that was at the bottom of my closet in the last house that landed there when the box I didn't feel like unpacking after the last move fell apart. :rolleyes: If I was sure that was all that was in there, I'd just take the whole thing out for trash.

I have very noisy neighbors here...they stand outside mooing at 8 AM. :-p :smile: :biggrin: They weren't around when I visited the place last time, but I just think it's so cool that I have cows for neighbors. (There might be mice in the attic too, but no big ones with red pants. I think they're stealing insulation for nesting material...it makes me itch just thinking about it.)

It's sooooooo cute, but WAY out of my budget, and after ZZ buys me that big house with the big yard for me to plant a Mickey garden for him, I don't think we'll have much left for splurging on artwork. :rolleyes:

Evo said:
Will you be able to post pictures?

Yes, I can. Haven't been doing that since I basically got back to the hotel exhausted. But tonight was an easy evening since I spent a wonderful time at friends' house and a quite lovely dinner.

So here are a few pictures from the past 2 days. The first one was on the first day and the obligatory picture of the most wonderful sight - the entrance into Disney World.

The second is the view from my room on the 16th floor of the Grosvenor hotel looking right at Downtown Disney. The third is my attempted at an "artistic" shot at the "golf ball", which is Spaceship Earth at Epcot.

We had a great time today at The Animal Kingdom. I found out that I misread the location of the surprise pin that was released a few days ago. It is at the Animal Kingdom LODGE. I'll go there in a couple of days and get it then when we go out there for our dinner at Boma. I also got the It's A Small World jumbo pin that was released more than a month ago. I sort of lost hope of getting it since I didn't see it at the Pin stores at Downtown Disney, Magic Kingdom, and Epcot. But surprise, surprise, the Animal Kingdom Merchantile store had it! And it's as gorgeous as it was in the picture!

Tomorrow, I pick up friends from the airport, and we'll be doing the Magic Kingdom all day and evening. We have a dinner researvation at the Liberty Tree Tavern at the theme park. This is dinner with the characters (Minnie and friends, it says). And then we will stick around for Spectromagic if it isn't raining. The park will be closed at 8:00 pm, so no Wishes fireworks.

I'm off to bed early so I can up and perky tomorrow. So good night, sleep tight, and have a magical dream!

More pictures!

The first one was from inside the "canyon" at the Contemporary Resort, where we had our lunch after picking up the surprise "Bored Meeting" pin. The second is the evening view from Cinderella's Castle looking down at Main Street, USA at the Magic Kingdom. It was obvioiusly a wet evening.

Oh goody! I'm so happy! Hopefully, Evo got hers.

Had a great day yesterday. Did Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain Railroad, Mickey Philharmagic, teacups, Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, etc. But the highlight of the day was the dinner with the characters at Liberty Tree Tavern. Evo and Moonbie, if you ever join me at WDW, we MUST do dinner there! It's a hoot! You have Minnie, Goofy, Chip&Dale, and Pluto, all dressed up in colonial outfit (except Pluto) and walking around the place visiting all the tables multiple times. I got a lot of pictures (will upload it later when I have better connections).

We stayed for Wishes (no spectromagic) even though it was raining. Got partially drenched, but I didn't care. I was having a lot of fun.

Today, we do Disney/MGM Studios in the morning, and then hop on over to Epcot for afternoon/evening.

Yesterday was one of those RARE days that will be remembered for a long time. We started out at Disney/MGM Studios. We did Tower of Terror twice, Rock 'N' Rollercoaster, Muppets 3D, and The Great Movie Ride. Then we hopped to Epcot and did Soarin', Test Track, Mission Space, had dinner at Marrekesh in the Morroco pavillion, and then ended the evening with Illuminations.

But while at Epcot, since I own a Disney Visa card, we had another special character greetings. It is common to have a character picture with Mickey, or Minnie, or Goofy. But when was the last time someone had ALL THREE in one location at the SAME TIME? Certainly never happened to me. That's what we got yesterday! We had pictures with all three of them at the same time, in one picture! It was wonderful! Mickey and Minnie in one picture alone is rare, but having Goofy at the same time is just unheard of!

And the bad part about it was that there weren't any lines waiting for such a picture. Either not many Disney visa cardholders knew about it, or most of them have left. The theme parks were very, very sparse (again, as I've said before, this is one of the best time to come to WDW - no crowds!).

Today, we will be doing the Animal Kingdom again, and hop back to Epcot later in the afternoon to pick up our registration packages for the Happiest Pin Celebration event that will officially begin tomorrow. All the cast members we have talked to unanimously said that it will be the largest pin event every held anywhere in Disney property. And us amateurs will be a part of it! :)

Spent the morning yesterday at Animal Kingdom, and then the afternoon at Epcot to register for the pin event. It was a ZOO, and I mean the pin event registration, not Animal Kingdom (AK is Notahzu, remember?). The progress on Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom is stunning (see picture). They are now putting up "snow peaks" on the structure. Still schedule to be open in 2006. I can't wait!

Today, it will be more pin events. I am putting a random selection process order for the Walt Disney framed pin set that I didn't get last time. So cross your fingers!

Yesterday was spent at Epcot, specifically the Happiest Pin Celebration pin event. All I can say is WHOA!

I can see how someone can easily get sucked into the pin mania. There were people hauling suitcases full of pins! We get to see truly hardcore pin collectors and get to talk to them, especially in learning which pin series are worth collecting and which aren't. However, what was more fun was the interaction with people having the same interest, and doing pin trading. I got a number of very rare pins that a few pin traders were simply getting rid of. Plus, the pin event had several games and trading events where we could get the just released cast lanyard series. These pins will soon become very sought after on ebay (I got 3 of them so far).

Anyway, today, we will be doing Magic Kingdom in the morning, and then back to the pin event at Epcot in the afternoon. There are more surprise pins to be released there today, so we hope to be lucky enough to get them. The pictures below are from the pin event held at the World Showplace at Epcot. Even Mickey Mouse was there and looking over the previous cast lanyard series.

This is a very sad day, in more ways that one.

It is of course, the 4th anniversary of the day that changed many of our lives. On a lesser degree, it is also our last day here at Disney World. I fly back to good old Chicago late in the afternoon (and back to work tomorrow). It has been a terrific visit.

Yesterday, we did the Magic Kingdom in the morning, and then back to Epcot and the Pin event in the afternoon. Did more pin trading, and stayed to watch the auction of very rare pins. I'm just aghast that some of the pin sets were fetching up to $900! On average, the winning bids were around $200. That's a lot of money! On the other hand, I'm sure I've spent a lot more than $200 for the haul of pins that I'm bringing back this time. I don't even want to know how heavy my luggage is. This is in addition to the 4 packages that I am having them mail directly to my home.

We also got news that our Disney Vacation Club membership has been approved, and that we will be getting the agreement package in a few days (or maybe it has even been mailed already). I'm looking forward to using it for the first time this coming January, especially at our new "home" at Saratoga Springs resort here at WDW. Have to work on Evo and Moonbie to get them to come to Orlando during that time.

Will post more pictures after I get home. Till then, so long from the Happiest Place on Earth!

<sigh>

It's back to reality. It really amazes me. I would be running on barely 4 or 5 hours of sleep each day that I'm at WDW, and I hardly feel tired. Back at home, and I need my 7 hours of sleep or else I'm lethargic the whole day! Someone once told me that's the Tinkerbell effect. I'd buy that!

:)

Even with the 4 packages that we shipped home, our luggages were still OVERWEIGHT! It has never happened before. We ended up paying $50 for the two overweight luggages! Oy! I blamed in on all the pins we got on this trip, and that includes the pins from the pin event. Without a doubt, this is the largest number of pins that we have ever, ever, brought back. I'm looking at this pile on the dining room table and would guess that it would take at least a week to sought, categorize, and put them up into the pin album. I have no idea what to do yet with the pins that come in their special display boxes. I have to find some way to display them or else they'll be in storage somewhere, and that's not good.

Humm... maybe I'll start giving away some of the pins on here? :)
