Big runDisney announcement coming in April

[marathonmommy]

I guess I see dumbo . . . But chip?

 

[SAHDad]

I was just saying that Mrs Potts is in Tarzan (and Chip as well). If you want to continue on the Disney Paris idea - Beauty & the Beast is a French fairy tale (originally), and I am pretty sure that there is a Casey Jr circus train at Disneyland Paris.

Do you guys think that when they finally announce the race, we'll be able to look back at all the clue pictures and be like "Oh, now I get it?"

I can't get anything from these past 2 clues.

chip as in mrs. potts' son. not chip as in chip and dale.

the more clues we get the more frustrated i get. just tell us already!

Hey check back at the facebook page. The picture changed.

I was wondering that as well...wishing they would post little explanations of each one when it's all finally announced.

 

[Hey Mickey]

Okay, this is probably totally off base, but the teapot looks like Mrs. pott's but also like Chip, her son. And the front half of the spout looks like Dumbo, sort of, but with the lid ting, it looks a little bit more like Mrs. Jumbo, his mother. Then the bird flying away . . . maybe representing the stork that delivered him? So maybe something involving mothers, like mother's day, which also might sort of tie in to th being of interest fro the princess runners (being that many are female and therefore a larger proportion of mothers and/or duaghters? although Dumbo and Chip are sons, not daughters....gee, Disney doesn;t have a lot of great mother daughter relationship models in their movies, do they?

No idea how that could tie in with the other two clues, either. But my thought of the moment. Though my real thought is "just stop the silly clues and tell us already!"

 

[HockeyKat]

These "clues" rather irritate more than build anticipation. Hmm, can we go back to discussing costumes?

 

[Hey Mickey]

hey, the picture is a little different now! What sort of looked like a smile on the back of the teapot is now most decidedly a crack.... Or maybe I'm cracked?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Thanks ... Lol! You got it - I was thinking of the wrong Chip!

That could also explain the Dumbo and Tangled uses (besides number or whatever references) in earlier clues. Tangled is all about family and specifically her fake mother plays a big role. Still grasping at straws really.

The new Fantasyland expansion at WDW, opening in 2012, includes Belle's castle.

Looks like a cracked pot....

in total agreement with you.

 

[joan4mickey]

I think the crack looks kind of like a loop with 3 spurs...could the bird be that little blue bird in Song of the South (mister blue bird on on shoulder...)and then Splash Mountain could be a factor...3 spurs..1. Fantacyland has Dumbo and that Tangles story area, and a new Belle area and then 2nd spur Splash mountain 3. ??? maybe next clue.
Very far fetched...

 

[Ash&Wes07]

Maybe it's the crack in the Liberty Bell?

I loved the mother/daughter/son idea, but now that it no longer looks like Chip, I'm not sure that works.

See, I'll be contrary, and say that I hate the mother/child concept - if nothing else, it helps cement the notion that fathers are more of a fashion accesory than an active parent. (And, I am not really wild on the idea of parent/child endurance races - mainly because of the possible strain on young atheletes.)

I wish they would just announce it already. The clues are annoying - yes, we are talking about it, but the old saw ("There is no such thing as bad publicity") is not really true - it's not making me anticipate it, it's just making me annoyed.

 

[Cotillard]

These clues are maddening.
Can't wait to see what it is!
My guess is totally that it's MK and going to tie in with the new Fantasyland opening.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up drinking

As much as I want an Epcot race the clues are making me think it will be through Fantasyland. It may still start and/or finish at Epcot but the clues are telling me it will go through MK and probably have a Fantasyland theme.

As maddening as the clues are it will be interesting to go back after and see how they fit in. Since they wouldn't have been announcing the race until April anyway the clues aren't as much pushing the announcement back as they are filling the time beforehand. When I look at it like that I don't mind them.
