When did you all go to MNSSHP? I was there on the 12th and I thought I saw Dan there. It was after fireworks and I did a double take and yelled "You from TPR?" Alas, he didn't hear me. Oh wells.

 

If you saw a guy with Tiger facepaint, that was I. My friend was a bunny and the other had green facepaint like Maleficent.

[Disney Characters gone wild?]

I see some people just don't understand why this video and pictures are just not appropriate.

 

The magical image of going to a Disney park, where your dreams come true, are being spat upon. This company tries so hard to wisk you away from everyday life and enter into their world.

 

This video shows how there are still people who can bring down the image that Disney is the Happiest Place on Earth. People try to escape the sick and twisted world, instead, they might now think even worse.

 

Imagine if you thought that every Disney Character was like those in the video, you'd be insulting me personally, and I thats not fair to me. So why is this video fair to Disney's reputation?

 

The actions should haven't have occurred, nor should they have been documented. These cast members know that they should not be taking photos or videos backstage without a Manager's permission.

 

If you don't understand Robb's point of view, then there is no really easier way to explain it. God has been around forever. Some guy makes a video of God screwing Jesus. God would not be happy. See, same deal.

[TR: Universal, Disney, Busch Gardens and More...]

Funny, I was actually at EPCOT today for the Cast Preview. I must say, the new attraction is quite enjoyable. I'm a big Nemo fan, plus I used to work at the Living Seas.

 

Great pictures. I look forward to hearing how you enjoyed the Seas with Nemo and Friends.

[Disney Characters gone wild?]

Now having watched the video, I'm changing my reply.

 

They did go a bit far with what they did. Goofy is definitely not the horny. Sure, he doesn't have wife because she died, but still. That kinda of action definitely should NOT be video taped, thats for sure.

 

While it may be comical to some, hopefully after this video, some of these CMs do get in some form of trouble. It'll take a while to explain that one.

[Im going to Orlando Disney World Towmorow!!!]

I was supposed to be working at Magic Kingdom on Friday, but someone took my shift. Oh wells!

 

Have a blast. I'll be working at MK all the other days though, as a magical blue guy. He loves Arbian heat. HA.

[USB powered hamster wheel]

Its not due in until Oct 31st! That is why we haven't bought you one yet Elissa! Soon enough!

[Photo TR: Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party]

On Monday, the 2nd, I got to attend my first Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. Being on the College Program, we can get some pretty sexy discount on tickets on select nights, so I had to definitely take advantage. Since we work at Disney and can ride the rides anytime, we were more interested in meeting some rare characters, the parade, and shows. Of course, we stocked up on CANDY!

 

Our gang went for my friend’s 19th birthday! Our costume plan: The Peanuts. We had Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Sally, Schroeder, and Snoopy.

 

We got into the park a tad later than planned. We slopped around for a bit in Town Square and secured a spot for the Boo to You Parade, right at the end of parade route.

 

I got the chance to see the parade for Cast Previews, which was fantastic. I LOVE the parade music, it’s so great. Our whole group was singing and dancing. We had some friends on the Treat Squad at the end, so they loaded us up on candy, to start off our evening.

 

We ventured to find a pumpkin patch so we could trash our “Welcome Great Pumpkin” sign, but couldn’t find one. We trick-or-treated a bit and wanted to score a picture with Tarzan. We got a picture with Baloo. We then got in line for Jane and Terk but decided to ditch it. We didn’t want to miss Hallowishes! Lucy stole my blanket quite a few times, so I had to chase her around, screaming at her that I was going to tell Mother. It was grand. Sally kept calling me her sweet babboo, but I am NOT her sweet babboo! Ugh.

 

Hallowishes was great. I’m not a huge fan of Disney Mania remixes of Disney songs, but the show was well put together. They were pretty amazing, especially when I see Wishes all the time! Spoiled I guess. The ended was fantastic.

 

Afterwards, we headed back to Toontown to meet some of the Disney Princess and their Princes. Luckily, I had a friend working as an attendant, so she got us through the back. We got separate “couple” pictures with Cinderella and Prince Charming. In one with Snoopy and Schroeder, Prince Charming held a “uhh…woof?” thought bubble. It was quite funny. We then did a group photo with Prince Phillip and Aurora. It was quite cute. The last tent, where another Princess usually stands was empty, so we took it over. We got group photos with our thought bubbles. It was grand.

 

After we left that, we wanted to see the parade yet again, so we ran for Liberty Square to watch. It was just as fantastic as the first, and we got a buttload of candy yet again.

 

After parade, we wanted to see if Abu was out with Aladdin and Jasmine. He was, but unfortunately, he was about to go in and not return, so we didn’t bother trying to wait in line. I did get a picture in front of a giant inflatable Timon and Pumbaa. Pumbaa has always been one of my favorite characters. I love him!

 

Next up, Villain’s Mix-n-Mingle was about to begin at the Castle Stage. The show was enjoyable, nothing AMAZING though. I was there to get some pictures with some of them after the show. I scored a picture with the sexy Maleficent and Frollo (Hunchback).

 

We wanted to run back to Toontown to get a picture with Mickey Mouse before we left, plus get some more candy. We were the last ones in line for Mickey, so we got some hot photos. We ran into the Queen of Hearts and Mad Hatter just lounging around outside, so we had some fun with them as well. We followed some final treat trails to load up on candy, which we all left with full bags! Go us!

 

Before leaving the park, we took some Photopass pictures. Finally, we did a classic Peanuts Dance Break at the front of the park. It was grand. Some girl wanted a group photo of us, so we happily posed.

 

Overall, I had an absolute BLAST at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party! I should be going again next Thursday with a friend and maybe at the end of the month. There is still so much more to do. I want a picture with Abu, Tarzan, and Jane for sure! And just some general Halloween party pictures, without characters. Ha.

 

Thanks for Reading!

The only way to please the Queen is a kiss upon the hand. Otherwise, OFF WITH YOU HEAD.

I got to be apart of the Opening Ceremonies today for the start of the Food & Wine Festival and the 300th birthday of Twinings Tea. It was quite festive.

 

I can't wait to get the chance to walk all around the countries and experience Food aspect. As for the Wine, I'll have to wait a year. DRAT.

[The "Picture Of Me" Thread]

Colin, I think I own that same pair of K-Swiss. My pair is SO beat-up though. I've had em since January 05. I wear them to work, so I don't care if they get downpoured upon or people step all over them. They are still the most comfy shoes I own!

[Pepsi Max Big One POV, with a slight twist!]

Geez, that looked like the most boring ride ever. Although, the whole F1 Car thing is pretty nifty.

 

Wasn't there a video on TV of someone roller skating on a coaster? I thought I saw it on Ripley's Believe it or Not. Never saw the segment, just saw a clip of it.

[Photo TR: BGE's Howl-o-Scream (9-22-06)]

Aww...Jack is Back was my show last year! It brings back fond memories to see it! I miss it. alittle.

 

You should get a picture with the Photo Op Jack after the show. And tell them I was better.

 

Great TR. Great Pics!

[Photo TR: BGE, Williamsburg and other events in Virginia]

It made me happy to see you visited the Spotsylvania Battlefields. Why? Because I'm from Spotsylvania. Ha.

 

Sad part is, I've never visited them myself. Never was interested in doing so.

[Photo TR: BGA/WDW: 8/22 - 9/3]

I can bet you'll find a bigger sundae at the Beach Club restaurant Beaches-n-Cream. The Kitchen Sink. ACE'rs delight.

 

Great TR. Keep the fun coming!

[The "Picture Of Me" Thread]

Even old men need love. Unless, they are the one giving you the lapdance...

Sexual.

[Photo TR:IOA and USF/HHN construction]

When I was at Universal on Saturday, they were also handing out the Aquapods. I don't really understand why they made them. But they are "podtastic!"

 

I saw alot of the construction for HHN as well. I'm really excited because I've never gone and it looks AMAZING. So excited!

 

Great TR.

[Photo TR: Epcot's Team Possible Challenge and The Trade Show]

I'm sorta surprised that Kim and Ron don't come out for a meet-and-greet. I figured thats what would happen at the end of the "tour." Guess not.

 

Does it cost additional money? If not, I may have to do it sometime soon!

[Photo TR: 5 Florida Parks--One Day]

I went to Universal/IOA last Wednesday, and discovered Sept crowds, which was amazing. There was about a 15 minute wait for the Mummy, but that was the worse of it. Everything at both parks was a just a walk-on. I even got a screen-less ride of Spiderman, which was interesting. Everything still moved and heard the audio, just didn't see anything.

 

What is with Back to the Future closing? Do they put something in for HHN or is it just going away in general? I didn't hear anything about that!

[Photo TR: Derek goes to Hershey]

I love the photos! I definitely need to get to Hershey park, sometime!

 

When I was really young, I went to Hershey park and I remember riding that rapids ride. Our entire family got soaked because of that waterfall that guaranteed you got soaked. Evil contraption.

 

I also remember loving the Whip. I rode it like 10 times because it was the only ride I could ride. Is it still there?

 

With all that Reese, I have just wet myself alittle.

[Last concert you attended?]

Does Stand-Up comedy count? If so, then Lisa Lampanelli was at Hard Rock Live in Citywalk (FL) tonight. It was freaking HILARIOUS. I love her. So mean, so racist, so brilliant.

 

Plus I got a picture with her!

 

As for a music concert, last I saw was Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken. I don't even remember when that was!

[Question for the Disney folk]

Its not exactly line jumping, but just reserving your position in line. I always believe line jumping more when kids pretend their family is ahead of you, but not really. Disney doesn't mind when you have to leave to pee, then come back in line after, as long as someone has your spot.

 

As for the disability pass, ask greeters at the front of the attractions what to do. I don't know if its the same for DL as WDW, but we have the Guest Assistance Card. You go and talk to Guest Relations. While there, you cna discuss the person's need for the pass. Based upon your conversation, they will issue you a card with a certain stamp upon it. Sometimes it'll just say use Wheelchair entrance. Others will let you use the Fastpass line. Or just bypass the line completely. Depends on each individual person. This allows 6 people total to use the pass.

[What was your first coaster with inversions?]

My first coaster with inversions was Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Great Adventure! Its all I could talk about the rest of the day. Amazing.

[Robb & Elissa's Mini Walt Disney World Photo TR!]

If you are planning on going to Magic Kingdom the next three days, you should let me know. I'll be working there as a friendly Pirate, with only one hand. I can tell you set times for myself and locations.

 

Otherwise, have fun!

[Any Degrassi Fans]

I love Degrassi. I wished they had the channel down here in Florida so I could watch it. I'm surprised they haven't released it on DVD. I'd totally buy some!

[Disneygurlz do Disney-PTR WDW August 19-25]

I get to work Magical Beginnings next week, twice, and I'm really excited. I hear most people really enjoy themselves.

 

Liberty Tree Tavern is one of my favorite places to eat at on property. I find the food just delicious. But don't go too often, then its overindulgence. I learned my lesson, went twice in one week. Haha.

[Mini-Photo TR: Howl-o-Scream Prep at BGE (Sept. 10, 2006)]

It'll be sad not working HoS this year at BGE. Someone best tell them last years Photo Op Jack was way better. Haha.

 

Maybe I'll get to work at Mickey's Not-So Scary Party this year! Woohoo!
