Parks Game! Part 4: Let's Play Some More!!

[jwill]

AAQ card to Higgs, the Haunted Mansion was modeled after the Homes of the Hudson river Valley

Shall we enter the stretching room and ride again?

 

[Granny]

jwill...I think that you know I'm a firm believer in "your question, your answer" here. So I offer this as an amusement, not as an argument.

Obviously, the folks in Jim Thorpe, PA think they've got the model for the HM. http://www.murdermansion.com


Oh well, those Pennsylvanians are known to be a little "over the top" sometimes!




Besides, I've got enough AAQ cards to choke a horse!

 

[jwill]

Granny, the reseblance is uncanny but I went by the Birnbaum"s guide book answer.

I think they just figured that they would say that for publicity and that nobody would ever call them on it.

 

[Granny]

Aw jwill....I was just having some fun with you and the other Keystoners here!! I'd go with Birnbaums too!


and MBabe...Chef Mickey's wasn't the restaurant before Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop. At least it wasn't according to my source, which was not Birnbaums!

 

[pintrader]

Where do you find it the names Dorothea Redwood, and Hanns Scharff?

 

[Carpe'Disney]

Just to get the guesses rolling on the names question.
Ellens energy thingy
Conservation Station
Killomanjaro Safari

 

[Granny]

Just dragging my old question into a new day:

Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop opened in Downtown Disney in late 1997. Which restaurant did it replace?



Whew! That was heavier than I thought! Anybody seen any caffeine lying around here?

 

[Granny]

Pintrader..Hans Scharff worked on the mosaics in Cinderella's castle.

 

[ozzel]

Granny - Ghirardelli's replaced Goofy's Kitchen. Ah, I remember the days of Chef Mickeys (the Better version, IMHO), Minnie Mia's, Goofys Kitchen and Donald's Dairy Dip. Those were the gool 'ole days when the Marketplace was a quiet place to visit and relax. I have video of those days. Ahhh....

Now, you can't get a parking spot after 12 noon.

-Kim

 

[Granny]

And a Goofy "close enough" AAQ to our own Kim Possible for knowing her restaurant history!!!

My source indicated the name of the place was Goofy's Grill, but if I had to choose between my source and Kim.....well, I handed out the AAQ card, didn't I?


Well done, Kim!

 

[pintrader]

Yes, that is where you would find their names on the mosaic castle wall. They are the two artist who created the mosaic panels in the archway of Cinderella's Castle.

A glass chip inlaid AAQ goes to Granny

 

[gometros]

Hey, hey, hey, I live in the Hudson Valley and my house sure doesn't look like that.....on the outside at least darn those cobwebs

And using one of OT's Baby Bell AAQs and picking up on te DD restaurant question, here's a softball for you:

What restaurant did replace Chef Mickey's

 

[jwill]

Good morning people.
I will take a guess and say the Rainforest Cafe.

 

[gometros]

A gorilla sized AAQ to jwill. Chef Mickey's was indeed replaced by the Rainforest Cafe.

 

[MickeyBabe]

Gee... I suppose if you sleep until noon you can't say good morning
Good Afternoon PG Players

I see no open question so I'll toss one out there...


In the Haunted Mansion Graveyard scene there is a Jazz Band. How many musicians are there and what instruments do they play?

 

[DisneyJen]

Hey MBabe .... DisneyJen takes a break from packing up the last of her items in her office ... are there 4 musicians ... a quartet. they are playing a bass, fiddle, banjo and a trumpet?

 

[MickeyBabe]

Jen here's a Whiparita for while you pack

Jen there are more than four musicians.... but you got two of them correct... one is playing a fiddle and another a trumpet....

We need the correct number of musicians and thier instruments guys... keep guessing

 

[walt's assistant]

I think there are five musicians. One I always laugh at 'cause he plays the bagpipes (silly). So that's three instruments we know of...

I'll guess drums and a saxophone...I'm trying to recall but the others are just fuzzy memories...and I've seen them sooo many times, too!

WA

 

[MickeyBabe]

Yes WA.... There are five musicians total.... and the bagpipes is one of the instruments, I noticed this due to my Irish/Scotch heritage ...


So fare I have...

Fiddle - Jen
Trumpet - Jen
Bagpipes - WA

Need two more instruments.....

 

[Momto2Minnies]

IS the tuba one of the other instruments?
