Since today is Bastille Day, it is only appropriate to make a reminder that Wishes will make its debut at Disneyland Paris on July 16th.

Wishes is a spectacular lights and fireworks shows that debut at the Magic Kingdom about 2 years ago. The show takes place around and above the Cinderella Castle, and it is one of those "WOW" experience. Till now, the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World is the only place for you to see this. So visitors to the Disneyland Paris can now share the same fantastic show.

Had to do a title change to this thread since I'm not just babbling about Disney World, but the entire Disney Empire. Besides, if there's "Women only" and "Men only" thread, why not this?

:)

:smile: I was wondering about the name change, since the thread already seemed to be Disney only.

I would LOVE to have this. It is just a cute, fun pin. It is not even a limited edition, so it should be easy to obtain. The only problem is...? It's going to be released only at Disneyland! <sobbing>

Why oh why can't we have a Disney freak... er... fan on PF who lives close to Aneheim? Is that too much to ask?! Oh why is the world so cruel?

Ooooh.. that's very nasty.

Never mind. I will make you suffer with the most painful torture ever known to man. I will play It's A Small World tune non-stop till you beg for mercy.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Zz.

Funny, I haven't been on that ride for about thirty years but I can still hear the song as clear as can be, as if I was just there.

Ah hah! It's working! You are slowly being assimilated! Soon you will be part of the Mouse Collective. You WILL apply for the Disney Visa card. You will crave for those Disney Rewards points so you can spend, spend, spend on Disney merchandize!

Resistance is Futile!

[OK, so I overdid it just a little, but you get the idea...:) ]

I already have the porcelain miniatures (with their numbered collectors certificates) in the little wooden house with the little porcelain housewares, furniture and appliances from over 20 years ago :smile: I've got some super old Disney records from 45+ years ago. Little yellow and red 45's, songs like "bibbity, bobbity, boo", the original soundtrack LP to Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Lady & The Tramp, 101 Dalmations, my old colorforms sets. I think my mom still has my ancient viewmaster veiwers with the slides from Disney.

I used to have those! They were my dad's and then I got them, and that's probably something else my mom either threw out when she moved or has melting in her garage in FL! :cry: I remember having one with Zippity Doo Da on it, and I think the other one I had was Supercallifragilisticexpialidosius.

Ooh, I used to love singing that as a kid...maybe I'll sing it now:
Supercallifragilisticexpialidosius, if you say it loud enough, you'll sound quite precocious, Supercallifragilisticexpialidosius!

Hum diddle diddle hum diddle di hum diddle diddle hum diddle di (not sure how to spell that line).

Supercallifragilisticexpialidosius!

:biggrin:

Evo, can you take a digital picture of that and either post it in here or e-mail it to me? I'd like to see if there's something similar to that either on ebay or if any hardcore Disney collectors can put a price on it. I'm guessing that what you have could be worth quite a sum of money.

OK... In an effort to get rid of that tune that is STILL playing in my head, I decided to come up with a Disney trivia.

We all know that Donald Duck has 3 nephews that always get into trouble, or get HIM into trouble. They are Huey, Dewey, and Louie. What are the names of their parents?

They had parents?? :bugeye: I can't believe that I never even thought about it.

I will take some pictures of my Disney set.

edit: oooh, I looked up the parent info for Huey, Dewey & Louie and found their full names. I'll bet you know them Zz?

Oh dear, in Norweedish they are Ole, Dole og Doffen.

I can only blame myself, but I still can't get supercallifragilisticexpialidosius out of my head! Dang, that's a sticky song!

Wait, weren't Huey, Dewey and Louie the sons of Daisy Duck? Or were they just Donald's nephews and Daisy was dating Donald, so she was always with them? Otherwise, that's starting to get really weird. :bugeye: And Scrooge McDuck is their other uncle. :-p So, does that mean Donald and Scrooge are brothers or brothers-in-law?

Scrooge McDuck is their grand-uncle. How he relates to Donald, I dont' quite know. Anyone?

Well, if our official Disney-addict doesn't know, how would anyone else here know? :smile:

They are the sons of Donald's sister Della Thelma Duck, nicknamed "Dumbella" and one of Daisy Duck's brothers. They are sent to Donald temporarily until their father comes back from the hospital where he ended after their last practical joke of putting fire-crackers under his chair. Their parents were never heard of again and Donald had adopted them by 1942.

The TV series Quack Pack added to the three their full names:

Huey's full name is Huebert Duck.
Dewey's full name is Deuteronomy Duck.
Louie's full name is Louis Duck.

OK, so since we're in a "donald" mood here, I thought I show a little bit more of my addiction. This is a "small" part of my pin collection that is just on Donald. I'm going to show just ONE page from my pin album (there are actually two pages in the album of just Donald pins, but I think this good enough to give you an idea how bad this disease is). :)

[I can hear Gokul shaking his head even more...]

That's right! However, no one actually knows the name of the father since that was never mentioned.

According to Dave Smith, the official Disney Archivist and historian, in "...the cartoon "Donald's Nephews," Donald receives a postcard from his sister Dumbella saying she is sending the three for a visit. That is the only time we ever hear of Dumbella, and a father's name was never mentioned."

I have to go look at my pins to erase that image.

To be released tomorrow on Disneyland's 50th Birthday is one of the nicest pins I've ever seen. It will only be released at Walt Disney World, in limited edition of only 3000.

Oh, that one's cute! That makes me think of much more classic Disney.

Wait, what am I saying?! :eek: Gotta snap out of it, you nearly lured me in! Better be more careful around here.
