The discussion revolves around planning a gathering for members of the Physics Forums community at Disney World, coinciding with a trip during Memorial Day week. Participants share tips and recommendations for attractions, dining, and experiences at Disney World, including suggestions for rides and strategies for maximizing enjoyment during the visit.
Participants generally agree on the value of sharing tips and experiences, but there is no consensus on the best strategies for visiting the parks or the must-see attractions, as preferences may vary among individuals.
Some recommendations are based on personal experiences and may depend on individual preferences or specific circumstances, such as crowd levels or seasonal variations.
Members of the Physics Forums community interested in visiting Disney World, as well as those looking for tips on maximizing their experience at theme parks.
That one is much cuter...and happier! Reminds me of jumping in piles of leaves as a kid.ZapperZ said:
Okay, I see a pin like that and think...yep, it's cute...if I was still 10 years old! There are pins I saw that are just too...well...pink! They are clearly trying to appeal to small children with some of them, but they really don't work for me. I guess I always liked the classic characters best. Aristocats is a really cute movie, but I wouldn't collect the characters from it either.ZapperZ said:

So, now you're taking advantage of small children to get their valuable pins? Meanie!

I'm going to hang it in my office after I get enough pins to make it worth displaying (it looks a little pathetic with just one pin in it). Yeah, but now I'm the only one with a view of a beach!yomamma said:

Of course not. I don't like margaritas, I prefer pina coladas. Moonbear said:I bought myself a small shadow box display for my pin(s) today. I got Disney scrapbooking paper to use for the background in it.
I also got a Disney patterned vellum paper that will fit over the window in my office door (it's just one of those 10"x10" windows...since my office is right next to the conference room, I want to keep something covering the window so everyone isn't staring at me as they walk past, but the previous occupant had just plain solid paper on it, and I wanted something fun and a little translucent so folks know I'm in there when the light shines through (at least until I can get the automatic closer thing off the door so I can keep it open a crack when I want people to know I'm there).
I'm still looking for more colorful stuff to decorate my very plain, ugly walls. I already got a poster of a window (since I don't have a real window)...the post-docs are telling me I should put up curtains and a window box filled with plastic flowers. I just might do that to be totally silly...when you're in a place where offices with windows are at a premium, you have to have a sense of humor.
Well, my office is rather small, so I won't be putting up too much.ZapperZ said:
Aww...time to start rotating the collection. And while you're rotating out stuff, you can send it on tour...I'll gladly display a visiting collection.
Oooooooooooooohhhhhh! Move over Mickey, I want that one to be the center pin in my shadow box display! :!) :!)ZapperZ said:
I already think of garden gnomes differently after reading Harry Potter! I hate dobby and kreacher.

Tagging along? HAH! You have never seen me in bloodlust for Disney pins.ZapperZ said:
They aren't garden gnomes, they're house elves!yomamma said:

Does Downtown Disney still have that little LegoLand area where you get to play with Legos? After our shopping spree, I want to build stuff with Legos (it's more challenging when you have to trick the kid next to you into sharing their Legos to get the good pieces you need, like roofs and wheels).ZapperZ said:
