...I've only seen the ones with the red circle or the blue circle, not a green one...

[Meriweather]

...is that 'Food Rocks'??

Before Food Rocks
Couldn't help myself, had to go look it up :rotfl:

Introduction

"Meal Time Blues" by Bonnie Appetite
Bonnie sings this at the start of the show. She looks a bit tired. She has cookbooks and her hair wrapped in a bun. The lights turn off, and the next performance comes.

Act 1

"Chase Those (Meal Time) Blues Away" by Bonnie Appetite and the Kitchen Krackpots
The Kitchen Krackpots band (containers of ketchup, mayonnaise, a spinning jar of mustard, etc.) play a boisterous ragtime intro, as Bonnie reappears, now in a showgirl or cocktail waitress costume, to "Thank you all for coming to (her) kitchen." The Kitchen Krackpots come out of the floor and reappear in the ending of the show. These animatronics were the first food products to come. The only animatronic that did not blink eyes, move mouth or other stuff was the mustard jar.

Act 2

"The Stars of the Milky Way" by Dairy Goods and his Stars of the Milky Way
Mr. Dairy Good is a singing milk carton who emerges from a refrigerator holding an old fashioned radio-style floor microphone close to his mouth, crooning introductions to three dairy products—Miss Cheese, Miss Yogurt, and Miss Ice Cream -- in the style of 1930s costume extravaganzas. Each of the dairy products performs a brief cameo in a stylized manner (e.g., Miss Cheese sings like Mae West). Every time they come out, ice cold fog pours out of the freezer. The Cheese, Yogurt and Ice Cream all look like children from "it's a small world".

Act 3

"Boogie Woogie Bakery Boy" by The Cereal Sisters
The Cereal Sisters—Oats, Rice, and Corn—sing a parody of Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy in the style of the Andrews Sisters, accompanied by a bugle-blowing bread slice. The bread slice wears glasses and is revealed when a kitchen cabinet is opened. They come back in the Kabaret Finale.

Act 4

"Meat Ditties" by Hamm & Eggz
Hamm & Eggz is a vaudeville-style comic rendition of The Meat Group Can Help You Keep Strong, in which Mr. Hamm and Mr. Eggz tell jokes and sing a few short ditties. At the end, Mr. Hamm gets angry because Mr. Eggz is telling corny jokes, and decides to split from the group to join another protein group.

* Mr. Hamm: "There's plenty of good protein acts for me to work with!"
* Mr. Eggz: "Oh yeah? Like who?"
* Mr. Hamm: "Cheese, cheese is a great source of protein!"
* Mr. Eggz: "Oh, I cheddar to think about it."
* Mr. Hamm: "Beans, now there's good..."
* Mr. Eggz: "Beans! Oh nuts to you, hammy!"
* Mr. Hamm: "That's right, nuts to me! Another excellent source of protein".

There are also running gags in this part of the show. Mr. Eggz's bow moves if he's laughing, and at the end of their parts, smoke bellows around them protecting these two from being seen moving into the ground. Mr. Eggz looks like an M&M.

Act 5

"Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit" by Colander Combo and the Fiesta Fruit
Night sounds, Latin percussion, and low lighting set the mood for this number, as the produce (broccoli, tomatoes, bananas, etc.) begin to chant "Veggie-Veggie-Fruit-Fruit! Veggie-Fruit-Fruit!" Bonnie Appetite, now in a Carmen Miranda-style carnival outfit, and perched upon a crescent moon that descends from the ceiling, sings "I simply have to tell you that my friends who are singing are...delectable!" Here, another running gag is present. A broccoli piece says " cha cha cha!" at times while his glasses flip off , but the glasses resume.

Finale

"Kabaret Finale" by Bonnie Appetite and cast

Bonnie Appetite and the cast sing a medley of each of their songs. All of the cast come back out, and Bonnie says good bye, before the curtains with the Kraft logo cover the stage.

[kimmar067]

...I'm confused - :confused3 isn't THAT 'Food Rocks'??

[Meriweather]

I'm kind of partial to this one :teeth:

[Pooh67_68]

Nancy yeah it got there, and now you have traders. :)

[Meriweather]

I am keeping the pin trading one ::yes:: Will probably trade the pooh one though.

[DJT]

[QUOTE=Meriweather;32768325]Okay.......2 arrived for me today :yay: But not one from Donna :( :eek:

Okay, I'm officially disgusted with the post office!! :mad: I just cannot believe you didn't get my package yet. I mailed it using the automated postal machine. It didn't give me the option of DC either so I can't even track it. :sad2: My other recipient hasn't received hers yet either. I don't know what's up with that. Maybe Monday but it definitely should not be taking this long.

[Meriweather]

...I'm confused - :confused3 isn't THAT 'Food Rocks'??

Food Rocks was an attraction at Epcot's The Land pavilion presented by Nestlé in the Walt Disney World Resort. It was a musical stage show, with audio-animatronic figures.

It replaced the older Kitchen Kabaret presented by Kraft when Nestle took over sponsorship in March 26, 1994 and was replaced by Soarin', an Epcot version of the Disney's California Adventure Park attraction in 2005.

The show was themed as a benefit concert for good nutrition hosted by Fud Wrapper. However, the show was continually interrupted by the Excess, a junk food heavy metal band that detests nutrition. In the end, Excess lost their power as Fud Wrapper exclaimed. "No power, you guys have been unplugged. There's plenty of foods out there that are good to eat, but remember, always eat with moderation".

The Audio-Animatronic characters were food items with human features. The music was based on popular songs by well-known performers, with lyrics adapted to the topic of nutrition. For example, "The Peach Boys", singing "Good Nutrition", was based on The Beach Boys' song "Good Vibrations". Five of these acts used the voices of the parodied musicians themselves: Tone Loc, Neil Sedaka, Little Richard, The Pointer Sisters, and Chubby Checker. Many of the characters returned for the finale.

Have you used the automated before? Maybe for some reason there was a hold up with those packages since neither of the US ones you mailed has arrived :(
Hopefully Monday will be it.::yes::

Yes, I've used the automated one many times. I don't understand what has happened this time. :confused3 I wish I had been able to get DC on those packages. I'll probably not use the automated ones any more.

[Meriweather]

I think you're kind of partial to pirates. :rotfl2:

Just some :rotfl:

I have no experience with the automated......we don't have one. VERY small PO here.

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

No pins here yet.....Hopefully Monday:)

[Luv2Roam]

Our automated gives an option of Del Conf. However I did use it quite a bit before I noticed that feature.
One thing the automated centers will not do is international.
So far I have not had any issues with automated.
That being said occasionally I have had issues with the service, even with Del Conf.
Hopefully they will eventually turn up. They usually do. But I know how frustrating the wait is (for the sender). :mad: :headache:

When I've used a flat rate box in the past it has asked if I want delivery confirmation but with this small package (and I didn't think about this until later) it didn't ask me if I wanted DC. At least I didn't notice that as one of the questions/choices. Hopefully the new week will see two packages delivered to the recipients. :goodvibes

[Luv2Roam]

Maybe that is the case. I recall when first using it specifically looking for Del Conf and did not see it.
I can't recall if I used Del Conf w/o a Priority box.
I really don't use DC anything like I use to. Really just for my own curiosity and comfort.
Dc only "proves" (and I use the term lightly) the parcel was delivered. It doesn't prove by or to whom.
It had saved some grief on a few pin trades when the recipient claimed not to have rec'd a packet from me until I gave the delivery date and time. Then they miraculously found the packet. :rolleyes1
However say if you sent to me using DC, and I said I did not receive it, I would have to speak to my postmaster. Who in term would basically shrug their shoulders. (From my experience.)
If the package is not insured, or sent registered, there really is not much that can be done.
So with that I think DC is pretty much a waste of $. Although it did help a few times. But considering all the mailings I have done, and paid for DC, a few times really was not worth the $.

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

I DID receive an exchange today from Donna, DJT!!!!

I received adorable Peter Pan with a Hidden Mickey as well as one of the Squaws from Peter Pan with a Hidden Mickey.
They came on Dis green paint chips I also received a very cute Mickey bandana!!!!
Thank you Donna!

[Meriweather]

:woohoo: Donna will be so relieved to hear that one of the US ones actually did arrive!! :yay:

[Meriweather]

Hey, Kim, do you ever hear from any of the "old gang"?
I still love my cabana boy pirate:

[cherry-pops]

Cherry-pops, the UK pins are exclusive to Disney stores Europe, so they are sold in the UK and France I believe. Thanks! :lovestruc

If anyone in the UK can get, or has an extra, Pin 70551: Disney Store Europe - Villains Spinner - Ursula/Vanessa, LMK and maybe we can work up a trade. :wizard: I don't know when I'm going shopping in the city next, but I'm sure our store had this pin and others from the Villains Spinner set. Next time I'm shopping I could get it for you, if you'd like? :hug:

[Danauk]

I bet you are relieved to know one arrived....so chances are good for that other one ::yes::

Jake got his pins today and LOVES them! :banana:

They were from Joey--ryka's son.

He got Stitch and a Florida Mickey. I think we'll need a new lanyard when we go this fall. :goodvibes

This was a lot of fun for him--he's been in a cast for 2 weeks so this was a great thing for him to do. Thanks Nancy!!

[Meriweather]

The list is getting smaller. We are barely past mail date and only have 12 more to go....out of 52!! :yay:

[Pooh67_68]

My last package arrived today, thank you Gavinn (ds of amsyw).
I do like them and I don't have any Lion King pins so this is my first. :)

[Pooh67_68]

Nancy whilst (:rolleyes1) going through your wants, I noticed the balloon with Tink and remember when I bought my set and got the surprise pin that I really wanted (Kermit!)

We had gone to DD and I was looking at a spin rack and noticed the package of balloon pins, picked one up and looked at the back and noticed that there was 1 of 3 different surprise pins that you might get. I really wanted Kermit and of course not sure who I would get I put the package back and we continued shopping.

Two days later we went back, I took a pack to show John and he told me to buy them, I said well wait I don't want this pack. I went and took the second pack hanging and put the first one back, and when I opened the surprise pin there was Kermit. :banana:

[Meriweather]

I love the mystery packs. I am addicted to them. I like the mystery.
Used to love getting grab bags as a kid too.

Hope to hear of more arrivals....hopefully mine from Donna arrives today. I know she is getting anxious ::yes::

[Meriweather]

Any arrivals today?
I will check for my mail in about an hour.....here's hoping.

...now, when are you gonna get a NEW TAG??!??! :rolleyes1

[amsyw]

My last package arrived today, thank you Gavinn (ds of amsyw).

Adorable! It's going into my Chip & Dale shadow box.

which I already have but it's going to be a nice trader.

Thank you, Alisa!

Donna

You are welcome!

The Chip & Dale are part of a new set that was released while we were at WDW the end of June. They are a mystery set that Wyatt is trying to collect. He got 2 of the Chip and Dale. Unfortunately he still has several he needs to find! But its fun to hunt!

Sometimes having traders is just as fun, because you know its set for the next exchange!!

[amsyw]

Our last 2 packages have arrived. :thumbsup2

The first one, I am so sorry, I totally forgot who sent them. We were in the car on the way out when I tore into the package but it was in a totally cute little Disney box. :)

Inside were these pins...

and

http://pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=68267&sid=6369.1248145066.v2

We had them both but they will make nice extra traders! He says thank you!

He is welcome! Sorry he had both already!

Glad he has some to trade now!

[Meriweather]

Alisa....did Wyatt receive his last package??

[amsyw]

My son received his but I wasn't home and I have no idea who sent them. SO thanks to whoever sent them he loves them. He already added them to his collection.

That was from us. Glad he liked them!

[pennst8r]

Thanks Nancy, I'm gonna give it a try.


http://www.pinpics.com/img/p485/pin24275

It worked :banana:
that's a great pin!! I think I'll have to look for one like it for me! :goodvibes
Glad to hear, ryka. They are from Wyatt :)

That just leaves:
Wyatt
NEVERENOUGHWDW
Luv2Roam
Danauk

The last 3 are international, hopefully they will arrive by the end of the week.

Hopefully Jake's will get there in a few days--they said 5 avg.

:woohoo: I had to come over here for this BIG post!! :rotfl:

Look at that counter!! I usually don't pay attention, but a several people have been bringing it to my attention lately ;)

Of course, by the time, my exchange buddies read this, it might be a couple higher.

Check you out! :banana: That's a big number! Did your house sell then?

[amsyw]

and last but certainly NOT least!

Wyatt received his package from across the pond from Danauk! Yes we received it while we were gone. I meant to get on here yesterday to post, but never even got to get on the computer! Sorry!

he received:

http://www.pinpics.com/img/p1361/pin68061

and

http://www.pinpics.com/img/p791/pin39553

He didn't have either one.

Thanks so much!

[scotsgal56]

Still no sign of my package being received. I posted first class on the 16th so thought it would be there by now as it did not have to go overseas. Hope it arrives soon.

woohoo Nancy:woohoo: that's a lot of posts!

[amsyw]

Nancy,

I followed ( I thought) your directions on how to post a picture, but it didn't work. How do I do the img /img part?

When I posted it, it just had a link to a single picture.

thanks for your help!

and congrats on your post count... I have a LONG way to go!

[pennst8r]

I could be wrong...but I know from the signature pics you put before the pic info and after the ifo.

Try that...if not, then you have to wait for the more experienced DISers to pop on! :goodvibes

::yes:: put in and then the location info and then

And no...our house has not sold :sad: I really wanted to be out of here before winter, but might not be. I haven't seen a sold sign on any houses in months.
We have 5 for sale on the part of my street we travel (that's 2 1/2 miles).

I'm glad they arrived OK, I didn't think he would have either of them, one is from the UK and the other from Disneyland Paris.

Moving this over from a different thread :rotfl:

Thank you CHERYL!!!!!!!!I received a package from the UK today (which somehow makes it more exciting when you see "Royal Mail").

Cheryl/Cherry-Pops sent me a wonderful SIMBA pin & a glow in the dark Mickey bat pin!!!!

WONDERFUL EXCHANGE ~ THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Maria:goodvibes

[Meriweather]

We just need 2 more to arrive :yay: but sad it is coming to an end. I love seeing all the pins.
Don't forget the next Disney pin exchange is in Nov. It is in the index.

Luv2Roam
Danauk

It's always sad when the pin exchange ends. I'm like you, Nancy, I love looking at the pins. Thanks for hosting the pin exchange. You're great. :flower3:

Nancy, I have recieved all my pins so I can be taken off your list. I posted when they all arrived:
From Heidi: post 165
From Scotsgal56: post 165
From Donna: post 202
From Jake post: 313

I am really looking forward to doing lots of pin trading on my trip to WDW next month and am looking forward to the next pin exchange.

As always, thanks for organising these!!

Thanks....Karen. Don't know how I missed that.....and then Lynne posted after that, so I guess she missed it too.

So.....that just leaves Luv2Roam......which may arrive today.

[Pooh67_68]

::yes:: its on my wants list.


...oooooh, I love this pin!! Very cute....:thumbsup2

[cherry-pops]

This post is pin related, but not exchange related.

I bought the following two pins from Ebay:

http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/1282/pin56879.jpg http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/7835/pin62634.jpg

The seller sent them loose in a jiffy envelope and I could hear the metal rattling around - shameful!

I think they're fake, or scrappers. They're thin, light and sound tinny. The paint is a matt finish and even the Official Pin Trading logo on the back looks different to all my other pins.

What should I do?

I love the Stitch pin, but the Tink one I bought as a trader for when I go away so I'd like a refund on it - I don't want to trade a scrapper! Unfortunately the seller doesn't accept refunds for these items, although I've not contacted her about them yet.

Could I ask for a refund on the Tink one and keep the Stitch one? I paid £5.60 for the Tink pin.

Any advice? Thank you! :hug:

It's listed on Pinpics as Pin # 56879 Pin 56879

"This Open Edition Pin is part of the Mickey's Mystery Pin Machine Pirate Collection and features Tinker Bell. This pin will not be sold separately and will be randomly distributed via Mickey's Mystery Pin Machine. Mickey's Mystery Pin Machine makes its debut on Thursday, Sept. 6, 2007 at MouseGear located at Epcot®. Machines will be available in other parks as well. This pin can also be purchased for $1 with every $30 spent at some locations.

This round pin shows Tinker Bell wearing a black pirate captain's hat with a skull-and-crossbones on the front, and a red bandana underneath. She has her hands under her chin. The border is a brown rope, and the background is blue. There is a cut-out on the upper right where the other pins in the Pirate Collection fit. Tink is from "Peter Pan."

This gold-finished, textured-back pin has a diameter of 1 3/16". It is backstamped with the 2007 pin trading logo and, "(C)DISNEY-CHINA"."

[Meriweather]

Cheryl...not sure. I think it is just a chance we take when we order from ebay.
I figure if I like them, I keep them, if not :confused:
Some you can't tell the difference. I think a lot of sellers are selling more and more of them. You need to find a seller you like and just stick with that person.

Lynne....only thing I can think, is I didn't let the page load because I don't remember seeing those pictures :rolleyes: (I often do that since I am on dial-up)...but I can read!! ;)

Maybe that last one will arrive today ::yes::

ooooops Karen I never saw your post. That was a quicker delivery than I expected! Thought you would get them on the Saturday or Monday. And there was me getting agitated with Royal Mail:rolleyes1. Glad you liked them.

Just glad it wasn't only me!:rotfl2: I did get a postcard this week reminding me it's time for my eye exam...maybe TRIfocals this time? :3dglasses

[pennst8r]

CHeryl--Stitch is
Pin 62634: Tourist Stitch with Ice Cream Cones on pinpics.com


How come I can find other people's pins on there so easily, but can't find my own??:confused:

[Meriweather]

LOL....some are easy to find and others aren't

I think Cheryl's concern is that it is a scrapper....they can be on pinpics and still be scrappers :(

Good luck with those trifocals, Lynne :rotfl:

[Meriweather]

Maybe that last exchange will arrive today.

[kimmar067]

"...man, my eye doctor told me I need TRI-FOCALS - What would I POSSIBLY need those for? I see an ant, I see an airplane, I see Alpha Centauri....!"

[cherry-pops]

I think Cheryl's concern is that it is a scrapper....they can be on pinpics and still be scrappers :( Yeah, I found them on pin pics - that's where I got the pictures from! :rotfl:

I just wanted advice on my situation....should I ask for a refund from the seller, or just settle and take it as a learning experience.

[Meriweather]

I think it is something to expect from ebay :rolleyes:
We all get them.....we just have to be more careful about the ebay sellers we deal with.
There is a thread on the collections board about good....and bad sellers.
Unfortuneatly my last order is from someone on the bad list :( I should be getting them next week, so we'll see how many bad ones I get.
You can always tell them about it and see if they are willing to do a refund. Doesn't hurt to ask.

[Pooh67_68]

Nancy, hopefully your pins will be fine.

I deal with a person that Donna (DJT) told me about, and honestly unless complete crap I don't think I would know the difference between a good and bad pin. The only trading I do is the exchanges.

[Meriweather]

I'm not sure if I would know or not :rotfl:
I have gotten one or 2 that seem really light and flimsy, but still not sure if they are scrappers or not.
If I am keeping them, it doesn't matter. But I don't want to trade them if they are bad.

[Luv2Roam]

I rec'd my LBE from cherry-pops. :banana:

Thanks so much.
First, is:
Pin 63593: Trick or Treat 2008 - Mickey Mouse

That is an esp good pin as
1) Halloween is my favorite holiday
2) I collect characters dressed as other characters, and to me it looks as if he is wearing a Jack Skellington outfit. (Kinda of a hidden Jack all the way around as Jack's face is in the moon. Mickey's ears are Jack's eyes and there is a stitched mouth for Jack too. Very cool. OT: Did you know the WDW HM has several hidden Jack's? Little bit of trivia there.)
3) DH collects Jack pins too.
double :thumbsup2:thumbsup2

Also rec'd Pin 48644: WDW - Pin Trading Logo Collection (Magic Kingdom) Promotion. Another very cool pin. I have it. But I like it, and it will be a good park trader. (Never can have too many traders.)

Thanks so much! :woohoo:

YAY! I did not know the Halloween pin would be so perfect and I'm so glad. I only had two pins that weren't in your collection already, so it looks like it turned out really well! :woohoo:

This exchange has been so fun! I can't wait to get to The World and start trading there as well. :lovestruc

[Luv2Roam]

Yes, great to get the pins. Sad this is over. :sad1:

Thanks meriweather and all participants!!

Anyone who cares to look -- I just added a few pins on Pinpics. :yay:

[Meriweather]

:yay: That does complete this exchange.
Hope to see everyone....and more....back for the one in Nov.
