[Granny]

Would that be the Hollywood Tower Hotel?

 

[Granny]

MK....them's some quick fingers you got there!!

[madonna31]

Question MK???

You know when I was in OAC (grade 13 to you non - Canadians)
I played a Madonna impersonator (I swear) in our school play called "Hollywood Hotel"

I have a t-shirt from it that is black with a white star and the logo Hollywood Hotel - ever since WDW opened ToT I havent the heart to throw it out...lol...

 

[Magickndm]

What is the name of the gift shop in Norway?

 

[Granny]

MK....is the gift shop named Puffin's Roost?

 

[Magickndm]

Geez...I thought that would take a little longer than that Granny.
I saw it Sunday after we ran...I mean exited from the movie and I thought the name was great.
You're up.

 

[Granny]

MK...what can I say? DW's a shopaholic so I can get those gift shop names pretty quickly!


Let's stay in Norway, while waiting for the Maelstorm line to get smaller:


In Norway, there is a statue of a famous Norwegian. Who does the statue depict, and what is his/her claim to fame?


I apologize if there's more than one statue. This one is rather distinctive.

 

[Higgs22]

I'll have to guess Lief Ericksson...the first explorer to "discover America"

 

[gometros]

Would the statue be of Hagar the Horrible?

How about Leif Erickson, who supposedly was the really the first person to discover America.

Darn, just seconds too late. But, did you notice that this lage has the magic '71 in it?

 

[Granny]

Higgs....no, not Leif. Someone a little more modern.

 

[jwill]

The four members of Abba? I know wrong country

Gretta Waitz?

 

[gometros]

Not Leif, huh? How about Haillie Salassie (sp? Oh man, I know I botched the spelling of that one.)

 

[Granny]

jwill...you've got half of it....it is the statue of Grete Waitz that I'm thinking of.

This should be pretty quick.....what is she famous for?

 

[Higgs22]

wasn't she an Olympic athlete?

Speed skating as I beleive....

 

[Granny]

Olympic athlete....yes. Speed skating?.....no.

I'm going to hold out for the sport.

 

[madonna31]

Figure Skating?

 

[jwill]

Marathon Runner?

 

[Granny]

ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!!!!

jwill gets it with Grete Waitz, the Olympic marathon champion!! I would have guessed a winter Olympic event too.


Higgs...I'd give you something for figuring out the Olympics, but I'm not sure what the rules allow at this point.

So jwill...fire away!!!

And here's that inspiring (?) statue in Norway:
