cfc Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hi Scott, Well, my postcard arrived, but I had a little trouble getting it, as you will see below. Chuck "So, this be yer postcard, sez you? Gimme all yer doubloons, and we'll see, sez I!" Stupid Blackbeard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Came in the mail a couple weeks ago I think! Sorry it took me so long to post it! Wish I were there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Sorry this took so long to put up! It arrived while I was in the States, and I got it on the morning of when arrived back - Tuesday June 12th, 08.30am. However, my camera was very broken after 3 weeks of travelling around! It's been fixed for now, and I've got what's probably the last picture in here. England really does look like this everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmousefan Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Im at Orlando now working at Epcot and mine never arrived to Mexico! My donkey really died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darksin Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Oh great, you just had to take pictures of Norway didn't you?! Now I want one of those evil but ever so yummy Sweet Rasin Pretzels! CURSES! I know they used to have the "orignal" postal mark for mail going out on Disney property, do they even still offer that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 First of all, I'm glad I got the elusive "Dan posting in your thread credit." Do I win anything for that? ^ I'm not sure if they still "offer" it. The postal mark on Shan's was just a boring Orlando one. Chuck, nice to see the pirate finally relinquished it long enough for a pic. Tom, what's crazy is that despite you being away when it arrived, you still almost beat Joe. Joel, it's great to hear you arrived safely at Epcot! It's sad to hear your postcard couldn't say the same about Mexico. (we'll send out a search for the donkey immediately ). Hope everything is going well with getting situated and settling in. With Soren leaving, they're gonna need a new Epcot TPR member photo credit.

moinab Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 First of all, I'm glad I got the elusive "Dan posting in your thread credit." Do I win anything for that? Maybe you should send him an email, to ask him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 ^ lol I hate to bump this once more, but I've been meaning to do a quick wrap up, and just haven't gotten around to it until now. First off, I'd just like to give a HUGE thank you to all the members who helped out on this one. You guys really made this thread a big success! When looking at the map, it's important to note that Tom ("shockwave") received his sometime while he was visiting the US. Also, Chuck's ("cfc") postcard was mistakenly left behind from the original batch that got mailed from Epcot. It was mailed out when I returned home. It took only a few days to arrive, thus also beating Joe's delivery time. Sadly, there were three cards that never made their final destination. Tony ("zen coaster") never received his in Australia (although Ian did). "Worm" never received his in South Africa, and apparently Joel's ("mmousefan") postal delivery donkey died somewhere in Mexico. Be sure to stop by Epcot's Mexico pavilion and get your "Joel photo credit" though! Here's what each postcard cost to send: US - .41 ( I used the First Class "Forever" stamps, although I believe the regular postcard rate was something like .26) Canada & Mexico - .69 each All other internationals - .90 each It's interesting what kind of service each buys you, huh? Postcards were sent out from the Beach Club Resort (red dot) at Epcot on May 22nd, at exactly 1:00pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmousefan Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 LOL OMG I love all that stuff about my dead donkey, Oh but thats not very TPR friendly... Any way yeah you can come and get the "Joel Photocredit" at "La cantina de San Angel" (fast food restaurant outside Mexico Pavilion in Epcot) I will be more than glad to see you all. Hope to see some TPR members soon ~ Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moinab Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Joel - if you are still there in August, we will definitely look for you! We always hit the Mexico pavilion at Epcot - it's my daughter's favorite! Once again, thanks so much for this great experiment/report! This has been one of my favorite TPR threads, ever! So, officially, if you don't count the cards that were lost, Joe's card was the last to be delivered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 LOL at "Donkey died! ". Nice way to wrap it up Scott, though I'm surprised that there were three you think might be lost!! One or two of them will probably randomly arrive in about three months' time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 ^ Thanks Lou. Yeah, it really is a shame that three members missed out on posting their pic in here. I could understand the cards arriving a week or two late, but flat out disappearing is pretty pathetic. Like you said, maybe this will be bumped out of the clear blue one day when Tony, worm, or Joel finally get theirs. We can hope. Until then, I'll have to be satisfied with the fact that Joe (once again, the closest in proximity to the mailbox they were mailed from ) was last to receive his.

ParkTrips Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 hey, I love that 15% increase (in addition to inflation increases) in rates over the past 25 years with no improvements in service even though technology has advanced so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Coaster Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 And in the most delayed reply ever... the postcard showed up today!! About 1:30 in the afternoon, I was in my bedroom which overlooks the street (I keep watch for those mythical cloaked creatures from The Village when I saw a kid eyeing the house. I went down to see what was up. When I approached the front gate, he was just putting something in the letterbox and ran off like lightning. IT WAS THE EPCOT POSTCARD How he ended up with it is fairly obvious - either wrong delivery or him stealing it out of the box - but what's even more curious was that he returned it. Soon as I can find my camera cable, I'll post it. Wow. Still can't get over that. I haven't seen the kid before so maybe he's visiting or new to the neighbourhood. *shrug* Anyway, guess this means the experiment was a total success albeit belatedly. Thank you so so much! It's a neat card too. Where did you take that photo with it in though? Can't think where that island is - though I've only been there once.

BeemerBoy Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 ^ Yep. Holy crap, Tony! I just mentioned your postcard in a response to your Big Brother thread this morning. This is downright scary that it showed up today! Glad it finally got there though. There's still two at large somewhere in the world (Joel's in Mexico, and worm's in South Africa). The pic of the island was taken just across the walkway from the China pavilion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
