Well, I know ZZ is going to deduct one for every time you've tried to derail his Disney thread. :devil: That should bring you down to about 5 left. We'll make quick work of those. :devil:

Oh dear, is he trying to use those one-day-only GOOBF cards from the TKC thread? :rolleyes: Sorry, yomamma, but if the box with the expiration date in it is defaced in any way, we're not going to be able to accept them.

Ok, now I can see Zz's picture. That's great Zz! I like the picture frames too!
I like them as well...though I was squinting at the monitor trying to see if I could find Zz in the photos...but they're a bit too small. :frown: What on Earth was he watching on TV when he took that picture? It looks like a farmer's market on the screen. :biggrin:

Humm.. what's on TV and on the TV since to get more attention!

I was watching Chef's A-Field on PBS-HD. It's a show where chefs use only natural, organic ingredients and visit the farms or places where they get their ingredients.

As for the picture frames, the one of the left should be available when we get there in Jan. I love that frame - it shows the Fab 5 on a holiday. The one on the right is the frame you can get in the Tower of Terror gift store. It now has a picture of us right before we drop 13 floors (whoopie!). We should buy one of these pictures when all of us go on that ride (we need to convince Evo that she'll like it, Moonbie).

Don't look at me, you still have a lot of convincing to do to get me on it. And since it seems you're more interested in the Disney cruise crew members exposing themselves to you, clinging to each other in terror isn't as convincing of an argument anymore. :-p You really should have mentioned that desire before our engagement. :rolleyes: :smile:

Look, if it's an issue of wedding gowns, what if I promise not to wear white (no one would be able to keep a straight face if I do that anyway).

:) :)

But in all of this, Moonbie, just think of ONE thing: Disney Wedding Pavillion!

That would make two of us. :smile: We should wear matching Mickey and Minnie outfits (then you can wear the pink polka dot dress with the big bow in your hair, and I won't mind that I'm NOT wearing the pink polka dot dress with a big bow in my hair. :biggrin:)

Humm... I have to think about that. I've never picture myself as Minnie. Cruella deVille, maybe, but not Minnie.

Well...but...but...but...you still can't plan on ogling the crew on our honeymoon cruise!

Oh, you're no fun! Y'know, you can always ogle at the crew with me. :)

Starting Oct. 9th, 2005, parking at WDW increases from $8 to $9 for regular vehicles.

Of course, if you have an annual pass, staying at a Disney resort, or a Disney Vacation Club member, parking is still free throughout WDW.

And if anyone complains about the $9 parking, try getting that for AN HOUR in downtown Chicago!

OK, so remember a while back when I was attending the Happiest Pin Celebration at Epcot, and I so wanted that pin set that has Walt Disney picture in the background? Well you heard about the fact that I didn't get it during the 1st 3 random selection process, but I got it during the 4th one that was done right at the event itself.

The pin set/frame finally arrived, and after debating where it should go, I finally have it up hanging on the wall. It is facing right at the front entrance to my place, so you can't miss it as you walk in. Everyone who has seen it admired it very much, and I think this is my most treasured pin set that I own.

Hopefully, some of you might have a chance to see it personally for yourself. :)

Wow! Now that's something that I'd love to display. It has a very classic look with the nice frame and black and white portrait of Disney, and then a whimsical fun side with the character pins on it.

Yup! It also costs a handsome chuck of change!

BTW, all day long, I had this awful cravings for Disney Turkey legs! Don't ask me why, because I don't know! I want what these kids are having!

Turkey legs...from that place in Tomorrowland? :rolleyes: My step-father sneaks off and breaks his diet over there every time he's at Disney with my mom. If he only went once a year, it could slide, but since they live there and have season passes and go pretty often, it's not good...he's diabetic. Fortunately, or unfortunately for him, he never manages to eat anything without spilling something on his shirt, so we can always tell when he's snuck off to get ice cream too.

So, anyone else collects Pooh Bear 3D plates? :)

(I know, stupid question)

I started buying these about 3 years ago, and while I didn't go hog wild collecting them, I ended up having quite a few. They are all up on the wall, and I like the fact that they aren't just flat plates.

Yeeesh... another of my quirky addictions is finally revealed...

Ooooh... I like!

There are two pins to be released tomorrow as part of the Haunted Attraction Collection 2005. Both of them are related to my most favorite attraction at Disney/MGM Studios - The Tower of Terror! (to call it merely a "ride" is insulting.) The first one is another one of those jumbo pins, and this one is a winner simply because of the terrified look on Donald's face as he's about to get onto the elevator.

http://eventservices.disney.go.com/files/10904334.jpg

The second is a regular pin but has a physics connection due to the partial view of the infamous E=mc^2 equation. You have to go on this attraction to see why this has any relevance here. Looks like Minnie is wisely hesitant to get into the elevator.

http://eventservices.disney.go.com/files/10904337.jpg

The likelyhood of getting any of these pins by January: almost nil. :(

... and as Moonbie has discovered with the Disney pins, they are A LOT PRETTIER "in person". The same goes for these plates, mainly because you can't see very well in the pictures the 3D nature. Most of the characters are actually molded out of the plates. The effect is quite striking.

I actually haven't bought any new plates for the past year or so. They are no longer found at the store I usually go to, and I'm in no mood to pay the high prices on ebay.

Pictures, clips, and trailers from the upcoming Disney movie Chicken Little, to be released on November 4th. As you may have heard, this is Disney first movie out of their own computer animation production group. If they cannot continue with their relationship with Pixar, this will be the one to sustain their animation division.

The last pin that is part of the Haunted Attraction Collection 2005 - Twilight Zone Tower of Terror collection is also a winner. Just the smirk on Goofy's face alone is worth the price of the pin. And if you have been on this attraction, you'll recognize the image on this pin.

This is a very well-done collection, one of their better pin set. Now I wonder how much someone would be selling these on ebay... ?

I've talked a lot about the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror attraction at the Disney/MGM Studios due to the pin set that was released recently, that I thought I should at least show what it looks like for those who haven't seen it yet.

So here it is! And it DOES looks more impressive than what you can see in this picture - it doesn't hurt that the screams coming from the top of the tower of people plunging 13 floors down can be heard from quite a distance away. :)

I think someone at Disney knows that I'm a big sucker for Pin Trading pins! They released a surprise pin at Disney's All Star Resort today, limited edition of 1000. Sigh... January is just sooooooo far away!

Tomorrow, Oct. 15th, is The Sweetest Day (another day made up by Hallmark, probably). Anyway, I want to wish all of those who have braved through this Disney thread, the Happiest Sweetest Day. I'll make all of you my Disney Sweetheart if I could! :)

P.S. Of COURSE there's a pin for the Sweetest Day. This is, after all, Disney!

I can't stand it!

If you have a heart and at least half a brain, I dare you, DARE YOU, to not smile when you see this figurine. I almost cried when I saw it (yes, I'm a big wuss when it comes to things like this). Whoever designed this was certainly cranking-up the CUTE factor exponentially. This is SO unfair!

This figurine measures 13" x 19.5" x 21" (yes, it's a big boy!) and I'm debating with my credit card to see if I want to get it. I'll let you know who won...
