Disney World PF Gathering and Tips for Disney Mania!

  • Thread starter ZapperZ
  • Start date
In summary: This couscous and tagine restaurant is quite popular and usually has a long wait. Try coming at night when it’s less crowded.9. Yacht Club at the Epcot resort – This club has a beautiful view of the fireworks show at Epcot. However, this is a “resort” so it’s quite pricey. You may be able to get in if you call the club in advance and ask if there are any openings.10. The Living Seas – Usually there are long lines for this aquarium, but it’s worth the wait. You get to see all kinds of neat fish and amphibians.

The Thanksgiving pins are beginning to be released in force now. A very cute pin is being released today at WDW. It's Pilgrim Mickey and Minnie!

Another very cute one will be released on the 11th, and of course, they involve one of my favorite ischievous duo, Chip & Dale. Looks like they're doing what I will do after my Thanksgiving meal.

The pictures here may not be of very high quality, but nostalgia was never about quality. :)

These are pictures of Disneyland from 1973. It's fascinating to look at what has changed, what are gone, and what have remained the same. Pay particular attention to the monorail with the bubble on top. Rumor has it that they're planning on building new monorail trains and bringing back that observation bubble. That would be very cool.

You just know I have a soft spot for Chip & Dale, don't you? That is just sooooooooooooo cute! Let me guess, it'll be released in Disneyland...all the good ones seem to be released there. :frown: (Edit: oops, just noticed the pin says DisneyWorld...still no help since I won't be there BEFORE Thanksgiving. ) Don't they have a conscience? They should feel VERY guilty for not releasing them someplace where us land-locked folks nowhere near any Disney location can get to them. It's just not fair! I want that Chip & Dale pin! :cry:

There is an outside chance that we might stumble into this in January, but very far outside. It's a limited edition of 3500. I'm guessing that we may have to haunt for it maybe at the Animal Kingdom, which would be the most likely place to have any leftover pins.

If you wish, you can contact the Walt Disney World® Merchandise Guest Services at 407-363-6200 when it is released on the 11th. The SKU number for this pin is 10904351, and it is $10.95 a piece.

Can they mail it to me without me visiting? I wouldn't want it in January, I'd love to have it to wear on Thanksgiving Day though. :smile: It would also go well with my Chip & Dale sweeping acorns pin. I think if I'm going to collect, I want to do seasonal themes, and then I can rotate what I display to match the season. :biggrin:

Yes, if it is available for purchase online or via phone, then they will ship it to you. So there's no harm in check if you can do that. I've had several where you can buy them that way, and a few others where you can't, especially the limited edition ones.

Siemens has agreed to a sponsorship deal with Disney. Among other things, they will sponsor Spaceship Earth. Hopefully, this will mean that the attraction will get the much-need improvement. It has been rather neglected ever since the demise of AT&T.

Pictures and videos of the Disneyland Rededication Ceremony that takes places each morning at Disneyland's Train Station to celebrate its 50th Anniversary. It looks like a fun and elaborate ceremony based on the pictures alone. I'm hoping to get to see this next June before the golden anniversary celebration is over.

Nope... Pirates are entirely in the dark and indoors. This is outdoors, if you notice. Besides, Caribbean and elephants?

Rumors are already flying. IGN is already reporting that a deal is likely between Disney and Pixar, thus continuing one of the most successful partnership in movie history.

http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/665/665580p1.html

While I'm happy with this, I hope Disney does not abandon their own in-house animation that they have started with Chicken Little.

Very good, Moonbie. And yes you do, a virtual Chip and Dale pin!

You do know that we are definitely going to load you up with tons of Chip and Dale pins on our January trip, don't you? :)

Disney's Festival of the Masters starts tomorrow at Downtown Disney in WDW.

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wd...d=FestivalofMastersSubListingSpecialEventPage

This event has become very popular, especially among the local residents of Orlando (it helps that you don't have to pay to get in). As expected, there's a commemorative pin for this event, and it's a jumbo pin, measing 3.25" x 3.25".

One of my most favorite things to do at Disney World is Dining with the Characters. This is the best way to meet some of my favorite characters and have a meal at the same time. This article below has a fairly accurate description of one such dining experience, except he left out one important thing - adults can enjoy such a thing as well. The characters will stop by at your table even if there's no kids. In fact, some of them are even more playful with you when there's just adults at the table.

So this dinning experience is fun for both adults and children. So Moonbie and Evo, guess where we'll be having my Birthday Dinner?! :)

The sad thing is, I can thoroughly see myself wearing this pin to the parties that I attend, and no one would even give it a strange look! :)

http://eventservices.disney.go.com/files/109111105.jpg

This is one of two pins being released this weekend at WDW for the ABC Super Soap Stars weekend at Disney/MGM Studios. This annual event also has become quite an attraction each year, almost as big as the Star Wars weekend in May/June.

Oh, they're so happy! :smile: What kinds of new pins do you think they'll have for New Year's when we're there? :biggrin:

They haven't announced the scheduled pins to be released around that time yet. However, I am certain that there will be New Year's pins. So far, the advanced announcement of pins to be released stops at Dec 23rd. There's a gorgeous Jumbo Pin that will be released that day, and I'm hoping there's one left by the time I get there.

I'm guessing that this may be the one jumbo pin that Evo might like. :)

Humm... since when did a 65th anniversary become a significant milestone for a celebration?

In any case, Fantasia is going to be 65 years old on Nov. 13th. It originally premiered at the Colony Theater in New York on November 13, 1940. So of course, we have a pin to commemorate this highly "significant" anniversary.
