Jose Eber Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 To bring in more revenue, Disney has a new sponsor with Kellogg. The parks will be minimally affected with sign-age.
Jose Eber Posted April 12, 2005 Author Posted April 12, 2005 Oh come on people, this is funny! Kellogg owns keebler -- the Keebler elf house.... Animal Kingdom...I'm explaining a joke, and that's bad. . . Sigh. I thought it was funny.
FlyingScooter Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Sorry. I read about mergers all the time. This one sounded reasonable.
CoasterFanatic Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 I was fooled also. Actually, it seemed like such a non-news item, that I never bothered clicking on it till now. When you are the first reply to your own topic it only looks like a really desperate ploy to bump the topic. It is kind of like putting your topic on life-support other than letting it die a respectable death. But ... since this is in the "Random" category, I guess it really doesn't matter.
Jose Eber Posted April 13, 2005 Author Posted April 13, 2005 AAh, I wrote something here, but its not worth it.
SharkTums Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 LOL...I also ignored this topic till now...that is pretty amusing. Elissa "damn, now I want some cookies!" Alvey
Jose Eber Posted April 17, 2005 Author Posted April 17, 2005 Elissa "damn, now I want some cookies!" Alvey The Pepperidge Farm plant is just down the street (10 minutes down the four). YUMMM.
SharkTums Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 I know! I have my 'landmarks' that I always look for on my drives from Sarasota to Orlando and that's one of them. Do they do a tour? I'd love some free hot Milano Cookies!!! Elissa "Mmm cookies" Alvey
Jose Eber Posted April 17, 2005 Author Posted April 17, 2005 My wife loves the Mint Milanos the best . . . apparently they do offer tours (see here)? I guess you have a stop decided upon when you guys plan to come down next -- you are going to do Sheikra right? Right on the way.
SharkTums Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 I just emailed Pepperidge Farm to see if they do a real tour. I'll let everyone know if I get a response! Elissa "screw Shakira, I'm going for the Milano's!" Alvey
Meteornotes Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 ^Based on my experiences at BGT, going to the local grocery store and buying a bag of Milano's would be more fun! Dave "cookies over coasters" Thomas
Jose Eber Posted April 18, 2005 Author Posted April 18, 2005 awww BGT can't be that bad (never been). My wife and I LOVE San Diego Wild Animal park -- so any park with animals/zoo like is an A+ in our book. Jose 'my wife will take a Pepperidge Farm tour any day of the week' Eber
Meteornotes Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Well, I find BGT/BGW to be overrated, especially in the customer service and food department. I still don't know where all this "amazing" food is, especially at BGW. Sure, it's better than your average park food, but stuff from 7-11 might be better than what you find at a SF park. I had one of the worst park food experiences ever at BGW, so I can't figure out where all the praise comes from. I think for park food, WDW pretty much blows everyone away, except for Mythos at IOA. But anyway, I have had the misfortune to visit BGT on two horrible days. One was apparently "every Jr. High School child in FL gets free admission to BGT for line jumping practice" as the place was PACKED with kids of that age who were the most obnoxious and ill-mannered people I've ever seen in a park. The only amusing part was my brother confronting anyone that tried to line jump us. That at least provided some laughs. But the place was packed, and when we were leaving, the line of buses coming to get the kids was over a mile long! That was disturbing... My last visit was during Country Western Day. Um, yeah, park full of people wearing Garth Brooks t-shirts and country music being blasted from all park speakers. Nothing like looking at African themed buildings while hearing songs about pickup trucks being blasted at threshold of pain levels. Other fun that day included a park worker yelling at us when we asked if the Rhino Rally single rider line would be open later in the day (not that the 2 hour line the ride already had should have perhaps prompted them to open it or anything). The park has some great rides, and it's certainly a nice looking park, but it doesn't seem to handle large crowds very well, and then does stuff like that Fun Card promotion to constantly generate large crowds. I'm sure I'll end up visiting again sometime, but I just don't get thy hype,,, dt
SharkTums Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 ^Who can forget eating in the Festhaus to the "gonna by me a mercury" song! Elissa "sad to say, but I see BGT going way down hill" Alvey
