Musket Mickey- The Reports of his death are greatly exaggerated!

[Tri-circle-D]

There's one at the trading post

Yes, there is one like this at the Meadows Trading Post. The metal emblems are more worn, but you still see Musket Mickey.

This one is somewhere else, and it is not in the Settlement Trading post.

The only other checkerboard i know of is at the front desk.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

We have a winner.

I thought the photo would be a give away. You can see that this checkerboard is on a table, with a nice rug beneath it. The checkerboard in the Meadows Trading Post is just sitting on a barrel. There are also checkerboards on the porch at Crockett's/Trails End, and on the porch of the Settlement Trading Post- but they don't have the Musket Mickey emblems.

Before I post the next photo, I need to ask for some help with something.

Does anyone remember seeing a photo a few months back of a work cart that is used at the Fort? It is driven by one of the maintenance men. It is like a souped-up golf cart, and it was white and had some Mickey decorations. I know that someone posted a photo of it, but I can't find that post.

Anyone know the one I am talking about?

Anyone know where the photo was posted?

OK- no reply to post #64, so time to move on.

If anyone finds a photo of the work cart that I mentioned, please post. There is a Musket Mickey on there. I saw the cart and the Musket Mickey as it drove by, and did not have time to get a photo. Next time.

OK, here is a decal on one of the bulletin boards in the campground. Can anyone tell me where this is?

Campground information board at the Meadows?

Yes, you are correct. This is the information board on the front porch of the Meadows Trading Post.

Well, that's all I have for now- will look for more on my next trip.

If anyone finds one- feel free to post your photo!

 

[Tri-circle-D]

I finally found another Musket Mickey!

Can anybody guess where this is?

The winner will receive a genuine plastic robot from Epcot (which is now a collector's item since they stopped giving them away for free).

Hmmmmm....In or On a comfort station? (I have no idea why it looks "bathroomy" to me)

That looks like fiberglass it's mounted on. On somebody's camper, or the side of a boat??

by the way, they took down the musket mickey at the trails end restaurant...

I think you're onto something, Jen....it no longer looks bathroomy to me.....it looks boaty.

No, it is not on a comfort station.

No, not on somebody's camper or the side of a boat.

That sign was one that they took down and put up in the afternoons, but I did not see it on my last trip- so that Musket Mickey may, indeed have bit the dust.

We still have no winner on the latest entry- guess away!!!

Sorry, too early for that.

Someone will guess this!! I know someone has seen this before!

It looks similar to the one on the checkerboard but the ears are throwing me off. I can't place it.

I know I saw that last month, I can't remember where, I know I was mad I didn't have my camera.

Side of the little truck thing that pulls the trolley full of towels, or the side of the vacuum that sweeps the road.

DH says he thinks it is on that maintenance cart that is all decked out.

Good catch! The emblem does, in fact, seem to be identical to the medallions on the checkerboards in the Reception Outpost and Meadows Trading Post. But this is not a photo of a checkerboard.

You are VERY warm! It is on a vehicle, but not on the vehicle that pulls the maintenance/towel carts, or on the street sweeper.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! I thought my post #64, above, might give it away. I have seen this cart driving around quite a few times, but not on every trip. The driver always seems to be in a hurry. Here is a photo of the cart. The Musket Mickey medallion is on the black Mickey heads on the two front fenders:

From the looks of this cart, it seems to be something special used by just one employee. There must be a story here. Hmmmmm. Sounds like a future assignment for TCD.
