An Invasion of a "STRANGER" Kind.... NEW THREAD IS UP!! Go Thee NOW!

[All7OfUs]

OK, you latest round of day-time guessers; I've got everyone's guesses marked down. Only the CIA could figure out my super secret, codified, really awesome listoid!! It's better that safe!

Answer will come out in a few hours after the night owls have had their chance at guessing- then we'll move on to round #4.

Meantime questions of the day:

Who knows when Toontown is slated for its demise??

AND


Who wants to venture a guess on whether Disney will extend it's August 14th stop date on the Electrical Main Street Parade??

 

[tinkgurl]

I REALLY hope they wait to start tearing down Toontown until after our trip. I really want the little guy to see Mickey and Minnie's houses.

I don't know but what I do know is this. I better make sure I see it before it leaves FL as it will be packed up and out of Cali when I'm there.

If I'm not careful I'll miss it in both places!

Which is just sad and wrong.

Me too, TG!! I don't LOVE TT, but it would be sad if I missed it altogether! At least for pictures one last time, I'd venture back there. Hope the little guy gets his Mickey tent dreams!

It would be a travesty to miss them at both places!! Plan well!

The Barnstormer is staying though, right?

The Barnstormer is staying though, right?

Have no idea! I really haven't kept up on this stuff- although I did read ALL the links that xoktenox posted on your thread. But that was only about MSEP, not TT? Hmmm...

 

[pooh'smate]

I heard the Barnstormer was staying but will be rethemed.

I'm trying! Roulette is a confusing game though.

 

[All7OfUs]

I heard the Barnstormer was staying but will be rethemed.

That might be fun! I wonder what they'll go with.

I'm trying! Roulette is a confusing game though.

It IS tough! It always seems to me they are using couterintuition in everything they do.



2 tidbits...

1) Does it grieve anyone else to see GB's TR in the completed section??

2) For those of you who read... I've updated my blog. Enjoy!

I am off to your blog now. Thanks for providing reading material during my VERY slow shift.

You must work graveyard. Nurse?

You must work graveyard. Nurse?

No I work for AAA. I answer the phone when people call in needing roadside service (in the states of NE, ND, MI, WI, IL, MN, and IA.) I normally get out at 1am (central time) but it was supposed to be busy but it isn't I haven't had a call since 1. I hope they let me go soon. I want to go to bed.

 

[Flossbolna]

You must work graveyard. Nurse?

When I read that, I was wondering why a nurse would work at a graveyard... Then I realized that there was something about shift being said before.

Liked the update, what a shame that the cake did not taste as pretty as it looked! And with regard to uneven numbers of roses: while we don't have any bad luck associated with it, my mother learned from my great aunt who owned a florist that any bouquet of flowers below ten should be an uneven number and starting from ten and above it should be an even number. But that was only for aesthetic reasons.

My favourite web site for rumors are the discussion board at wdwmagic. There seem to be a few people who really know something there. There the general opinion is that the MSEP will be around at least until the start of the 40th birthday celebration of WDW and maybe even during that celebration. So I guess you can count a bit on seeing it. However, for me that would be a reason to avoid the MK! The music makes me want to run away!!

Also it has been said that there will be a timely announcement before Toon Town closes, so I guess since we haven't heard anything about it yet, there is a good chance that you will get to see it. I would guess that they close it after Christmas 2010. The barnstormer by the way is supposed to get a clown overlay.

Time for the big reveal of Round #3!

This one is going to blow your mind; well, anyway, it sure surprised me!

Who knew that the place at the end of the trail would be a popular hangout?? Having pretty standard fare for $21, in a pretty out of the way place, I was wondering why, when we asked for a 5:30 PM ADR, they gave us:








5:10 EARLIER

Early? For 2 people??

Do they know about this game? Are they simply toying with us, making our game more interesting?

Try as I may I can simply NOT come up with a reason that at 182 days out, we could not get score a 5:30 time!!! A possible, but highly unlikely and remote possibility is that the campfire starts at 7:00. Maybe everyone (!) thought they should allow an hour and a half to eat and get over there.

Not sure.

Regardless, of the 3 made so far, I'm least excited about this one. Sorry, Mary! If the budget hangs low, this is the first one to go. I wanted to stay at AK until closing at 5:00 or even linger on after at the Oasis before I went to the Fort. This time would close that door tighter than Obama's healthcare summits.


So, here are the standings so far. I think you'll see now that EVERY guess you make will be crucial!

I'm not on the list? Did I get disqulified? What did I do?

That makes total sense!! Now I can put my guessing mind to rest. I hope you get to go home soon- 3:30 is a horrible hour in the dead of night!

When I read that, I was wondering why a nurse would work at a graveyard... Then I realized that there was something about shift being said before.

That would be like zombie nurse or something.

They all taste so bad. Funny, the cakes are very, very indicative of the whole culture, really. They love to look good. It's important. To have that veneer of "I'm well off", "Look at me." But they lack substance and integrity in so many ways. Drive a mercedes, but beat their wives. Get a satellite TV, before getting indoor plumbing. Steal from their neighbors, and use the money to buy minutes for the cell phone. Buy a new pair of fancy jeans, but feed their kids bread and tea 2 meals a day.

We've often called it the "fancy, yet tasteless, culture". And I don't mean that they don't have any taste like we would use the word, but rather pretty on the outside, and sadly lacking in the substance.

My favourite web site for rumors are the discussion board at wdwmagic. There seem to be a few people who really know something there.

Definitely need to go there! I've poked around there before (hmmm... what's that username??) but haven't in a good long while. This is great news! I love it~ (even the music...)

Also it has been said that there will be a timely announcement before Toon Town closes, so I guess since we haven't heard anything about it yet, there is a good chance that you will get to see it.

CLOWNS!!?? How does that even remotely fit into Disney??!

 

[All7OfUs]

I'm not on the list? Did I get disqulified? What did I do?

Oops!! I can tell you exactly what just happened!! Since you were the first to guess in that last round, I had written your name in pencil at the very top of my sheet, right under the heading. It kinda blended in with that, and when I went to transfer the data to here, I simply didn't see it (the rest were written in blue ink).

don't worry, Katharina!! You are most definitely IN the game tied with your sister!!

 

[nodnol]

tied with big sister

 

[All7OfUs]

In order to keep the game moving along at a swift pace (I'm feeling like Willy Wonky-esque here- "We mustn't dilly, or dally, because we have an enormous number of things to do before the (month) is out!" I am going to go ahead and post the next clue right away, most of the time.



Round #4 is for our first meal as the BELLE BATTALION!! Remember, our first night together will be at the POLY, so it seemed appropriate that we'd hit up 'Ohana right away!


So, here it is for you:


We asked for 'Ohana


at 6:40 PM


for 3 People.

What are the verdicts??

A) On time

B) Earlier

OR

C) Later



Bring on the guesses!!!

 

[nodnol]

I'll go with C) LATER this time. And please write this down in ink

I liked you blog post - intersting thing about the flowers. I love those little cultural differences which can become quite a BIG problem if you don't know about them!!!
