New contest up and working on the next update while I have some time over the weekend!

HI Marv,

Great to see you back on. I do hope you are doing ok; either you've been busy after last weekend with your dad, or you've been sick, or you've been avoiding us.

I need to think on my answers some. These are pretty tough- again.

Doing okay, just lots of extra hours at work! Tight schedule right now, and I have a huge part of it! Like someone else the other day said, they are expecting me to work.....at WORK of all things!!!

First priority is fastpasses for Space Mountain. Did we ride Standby after getting the FPs?Absolutely yes! The Standby line was so short and was calling your name...Marv, Marv...

What did we ride next after we left Space Mountain?Peter Pan. And while you rode you secretly wished you were a little boy again.

What one gift shop did Marv and Ali actually make a purchase in the MK? (Not a food or drink item)The Emporium.

Wore it because you bought gloves due to the chilly Florida weather knowing that if you want to ride BTMR, your hands will freeze without them.

Hope I'm not too late!

As long as the updates haven't been posted yet, you aren't too late......and I probably won't get any updates posted before this weekend, so still plenty of time to submit answers!


ATTENTION: I know some of you are anxious to hear the results of the Ali-do Contest, but I was really hoping to be able to give out some points...........

My PM InBox still has room for additional new answers or revisions!

 

[glennbo123]

How many of the family headed out early to the Magic Kingdom WITH Marv?

The total number heading out were 3 (ie. 2 WITH Marv). Accompanying Marv were Ali and Drew. Drew, because a) the older boys are older and love to sleep in and, b) because Drew is mentioned in a question further down.

Did we make rope drop?

Of course. You're the Marv-man. You didn't just make rope drop -- you invented rope drop.

First priority is fastpasses for Space Mountain. Did we ride Standby after getting the FPs?

Yes, you were there so early the line was still short.

What did we ride next after we left Space Mountain?

Buzz Lightyear.

How many characters did Marv get pictures of while walking through Fantasyland? (none of the Fab Five)

Three, the stepsisters and stepmother.

But you did have several more characters begging for your picture.

What meal did Marv share with Drew for lunch at Cosmic Ray's?

The biggest dish on the menu, of course: the 1/2 chicken and BBQ rib combination platter (or "splatter" as the case may be).

What did Marv do while the rest of the family watched the Castle Stage show?

What every conscientious Disney Dad does, you went on a fastpass run. I'd guess Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

How many times did we assault Zurg and his evil forces on Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin?

I'm assuming this question is asking how many times you rode the Buzz Lightyear ride? If you assault Zurg, that's a good way to get kicked out of the park. Anyway, I'll say twice.

What one gift shop did Marv and Ali actually make a purchase in the MK? (Not a food or drink item)

I don't know, how about The Emporium?

What did we do with the purchase after buying it?

You left wearing it/them.

ATTENTION: I know some of you are anxious to hear the results of the Ali-do Contest, but I was really hoping to be able to give out some points...........

My PM InBox still has room for additional new answers or revisions!

Are you saying nobody got any points?

 

[All7OfUs]

Are you saying nobody got any points?

That's EXACTLy what I was going to ask- so I will. I still may keep my answer, as I've already gone over (and over, and over, and over, and over) the pictures as thoroughly as I could. And then did it again.

Okay, between THAT post and the additional one I made on Glenn's TR (when I was commenting about him giving more hints while waiting out a correct answer......and still saying there were 5 Judy's when there are actually 6 I might add ) I thought I was pretty clear, but just in case.....one more time.....................

THERE HAVE BEEN NO CORRECT RESPONSES TO THE ALI-DO CONTEST SO FAR!!!!!

And in the spirit of giving hints like Glenn sometimes has to do, here is my one additional hint:

It was fairly cool when we arrived at Epcot, got warmer as our day went on, but then started cooling off again later in the afternoon as shadows began to become more prevalent, so you will find her sporting either one of two looks in the pictures........

And don't forget, numbers aren't any good without telling me which pictures you saw her in (and some of you have done a great job sending me the picture in your post with Alison circled in your picture, which certainly eliminates any doubt if you are wrong or right!!!).

If I don't get a correct answer soon, I'm going to change the contest to posting in this thread and the first one to get it right gets the point....... I mean, Dan immediately got the hint about the two previous clues being posted that would help, so surely it wasn't that hard to figure them out......
