Looking for pic of AK talking garbage can!!!

[riu girl]

Here's the situation:
A true disney magical moment:
We were in AK Dec. 19 and were approached by a green talking garbage can. We had a long conversation with it (it spoke to all four of us including singing!!!). I was overwhelmed by the whole experience (tears were in my eyes watching the kids interact with it) and FORGOT to take a picture since I was so emotional.

Does anyone have a picture of the talking garbage can (or any green garbage can ) in AK they could generously mail me? I will pay for postage plus cost of picture.

My printer is not working right now so e-mailing a digital picture is not an option.

The kids won't stop talking about. If you can believe it, when you ask them what was their favourite thing about AK, they both talk about the garbage can. I would love to get a picture of it and then frame it for them as a surprise.

We were watching the talking garbage can at MK in Tomorrowland last month. I kept looking through the crowd, I knew someone had to be operating it. Finally a spotted a guy in a tee shirt and shorts with a hat and sunglasses on. He was talking with his hand over his mouth and he had his hand in a shoulder bag. He was pretty far back from the can, probably about 15 or 20 feet.

Here are a couple of photos that my sister took - you could upload them to an online photo place and get them printed.

You can see the operator in the second photo. He looks like the same guy I saw at MK.

Do you mean the lady up against the sign? The operator wouldn't be wearing a loud outfit like that, intending to be spotted.

These photos were taken in September of 2002. I hope it helps. Maggie

No, the guy in the blue shirt with the shoulder bag. The controls are inside the bag. He has his hand on his mouth so he isn't noticed talking, I assume he has some kind of microphone.

The lady standing by the sign is wearing one of the merchandise costumes, and is not the one controlling the trash can.

(I guess the guy doing the controlling does blend in pretty well ... I picked him out immediately, but I knew what I was looking for (I have never seen the guy, nor his trash can while I've been in the park either working or as a guest))

During one of the Hurricanes, They had "Push" - The Tomorrowland Trashcan inside the Contemporary Resort to entertain the guests.

I got to talk to "Push" quite a bit throughout the storm.

I encourage everyone to make a point of looking for Push. He is fantastic. My kids had a great time meeting him in the store/arcade in the Space Mtn. He wanted to be my daughter's boyfriend (a total embarassment for a 14 year old). He sang and followed her around. It is one of those little Disney touches that make visiting the World so special.

Do they post the times that Push is around (or Wes). I always looks for them when I go but never see them. I even tried looking for the talking trashcan over at AK to rafiki's planet watch last year but no luck. My ds thinks I am making this up.
