Disney Trivia...Let's Play!

[madonna31]

Mousefan - your right, next time just ask a question yourself!!

Ok - I got it Mbabe...

Mickey Mouse USE to appear on the wedding planner that Disney's Fairytale Weddings gave out to couples when they booked their wedding at Disney World...Disney has since discontinued and stopped using that image of Mickey as *cupid* - why?[/

 

[Higgs22]

OK...I'm back for a second with a wild guess...they dropped the image because it made too many people want to have Mickey appear as Cupid at their weddings...and since Disney policy says that the characters do not appear at weddings...they dropped it to make things easier...


BTW...I don't expect everything done for me...just a lot of things...I'll be better next week...I promise...

 

[madonna31]

Nice guess Higgs, but sorry - no...

 

[mousefan]

sorry Madonna, but not going to be around for a while and didn't want to hold game up with asking a question and not being around to verify ........otherwise i would have .

 

[MickeyBabe]

Let's see.... Since cupid is usually... uh... in the buff .... They didn't like having Mickey running around sans clothing?

 

[madonna31]

ah geez...mousefan - dont apologize...all I meant was if someone is not around to ask - then go ahead and ask away!! I agree - we should keep it moving...

Mbabe - very close...can you be more specific?

 

[Higgs22]

I could be REALLY specific…but I don’t want to get us shut down…Is Cupid usually in some sort of robe like thing…and it looked too much like a dress for Diseny…and they didn’t want Mickey to be confused with Minnie?

 

[MickeyBabe]

A robe?....nah... maybe a diaper... didn't like Mickey appearing in a diaper?

 

[madonna31]

I could be REALLY specific…but I don’t want to get us shut down

Geez...doesn't anyone believe me that I can be good?

It's nothing inappropriate - honest!

Yes - Mbabe - the cupid Mickey was wearing a diaper like cloth thingy - but believe it or not... that's not it...

 

[MickeyBabe]

Was it because he was carrying a"weapon"... the bow & arrow?

 

[madonna31]

Babe - that is a better answer then the real one...

But sorry...no

 

[MickeyBabe]

Okay... I'm pulling at straws now... Because the Brides were duplicating this image for their wedding literature and Disney wasn't getting any royalitie$ so.... they removed it to leave no Logo to copy ... thus the Brides have to buy Disney produced invitations.

 

[madonna31]

nope...it is something specific about the image of Mickey

 

[MouseClubMom]

Hmmm.... They couldnt figure out a way to put wings on Mickey? Or they couldn't have Mickey as cupid because of the way the costume fits it would reveal zippers, etc....???

 

[MouseClubMom]

Oh wait, another thought. Is it because Cupid is a sort of mythological figure and Disney didn't want to associate Mickey with any type of religious or mythological characters??

 

[madonna31]

nope...

 

[Higgs22]

Here’s a wild guess…does it have something to do with Disney not wanting to associate the Mouse with anything remotely sexual?

 

[madonna31]

Please everyone note that Higgs was the one to bring *sex* into the question...not me...

Higgs - get that mind outta the gutter....no...

 

[DisneyBen]

Hello....oooo....oo...o!!! Is anybody out there???

Guess not. Well, since it seems no one is gonna figure out the answer to Madonna's question (at least I'm not), I'll post another one.

What is/was the STOL Port and what is its current use?

 

[mousefan]

The former STOL ( short take off and landing ) port airstrip near the magic kingdom parking lot it is no longer reconized by the FAA, it was training area for disney buses , a testing area for Disney buses, and a staging area for the Mears busses which are used to supplement the normal Walt Disney World busses during times of peak usage .
