Pin Survivor, the Ultimate Challenge ... Voting for Adventure Removal #1


Deep within the heart of the Florida outback in a remote swamp near Interstate 4, a small base camp will be created. From this camp, four teams of six members will spend what will seem like an eternity testing their skills to determine who is the ultimate Disney Pin Survivor. I invite you to follow the adventures of these intrepid castaways as they try to match their wits, their experiences, and their stamina against each other and against the elements. Each episode shall document the trials and tribulations of the Florida Swamp-back (not to be confused with a Humpback, that is another story) and the teams. Besides the constant challenges associated with living away from their loved ones for an undetermined amount of time, each of the contestants will be forced to fend for themselves in sometimes hostile surroundings. Challengers have been chosen from many walks of life and will soon be notified of their selection. Each one of them will be allowed to bring one luxury item of their choice to the swamp. They will also each be required to provide a photograph of themselves in case the unfortunate happens and we are forced to place their faces on a milk carton for the search party to use.
Spectators will be allowed to follow along on this misadventure and watch the journey unfold. You will also be given an opportunity to help determine its outcome, as at the end of each episode, one person will be voted out of the swamp. Challenges will be conducted for contestants to show their worthiness to remain in the swamp. Members will be allowed to gain immunity from the tribal vote by winning the use of the immunity lanyard. In the end, we will once and for all determine who is the ultimate Disney Pin Survivor…

All right!! I was hoping you'd start another adventure soon. I guess we're all addicted to your storytelling now.

This sounds like fun! I can't wait to see who the chosen ones are Good to have you back on the board Jeff, we missed you!

Nah Nat
We're already wearing an immunity lanyard. We wer in the last saga so that means he will pick on others and we can rest and laugh ahem I mean watch. YEA-A-A-A-A-A-A-A JJ I think we all love your stories. I'll have to call Tinkerbel129 and tell her she has been in mourning long enough. Two deaths in one family = almost 4 weeks in mourning. Time to come out Lori!!! and bring that Dean BuzzLightYear with ya. There a campfire burnin and Cousin JJ is spinning yarns again.

Dar, I'm sure glad you mentioned the sound effects. I had my speakers turned off and I didn't know there were any! Now I've got 'em turned back on so I won't miss anything.

ALRIGHT JEFF!!!!

So my asking for a new saga worked.....yippeee!!! I cant wait. I wonder who the lucky/unlucky soles will be..... I am soooooo excited to read the first installment

May the florida swamp gods be with us all and the mosquitos be few.....

Love Mussy Rice with my Mountain Dew

What would everyone's luxury item be that they would take with them.
Hmmm.

Have to think about this one.

Darlene

Oh wait I know. My blow up bed - that is what I would take.

I would take my toothbrush, I think...either that or my Bible...oh gosh which one!!!!!

can use a finger for a toothbrush

I have thought of one I really cant live without......but I am not telling...yet!!

Jeff,
Wow, a remote swamp near I-4. Sounds like that location might be really a real challange to most of us.
Hope the campsite is in a really rustic location like maybe AKLor WL, I would hate to think we would be too close to transportation. Lets make those survivors rough it by walking a good distance to transportation.
And it can't be too close to Cheese soup or Beaver Tails, we should have to hunt more for our food.
Can't wait for the first installment, this is going to be a good one. Peggie

-----------

MZDavis


I'd have to bring a brush.. I wouldn't even want to think about what I would look like without one!

Lauri

MJ


I think that I know what I'd bring, but like Kathryn I must have immunity.

Sounds great! All these wonderful stories over on the collector's board could almost get me wanting to start collecting pins after all, so I could understand them better.

Nat and Sandy - You could bring an RV


I think Nat and Sandy should bring as their luxury item an RV.
My idea of roughing it when we had our motor home was leaving the remote control at home.

Eek! Sound affects almost got me in trouble at work! They are great, but I had to see how fast I could disable my speaker before everyone next to me came to see what was going on! Whew! Met that challenge...
I'm still employeed...

Can't wait for the saga, Jeff.

Back to lurking...

The Ultimate Survivor Challenge


Random musings of a Survivor Viewer...
1. Who will celebrate a birthday while in the swamp, and will that person follow Richard's lead and spend his or her birthday in his or her birthday suit?

2. Luxury item... Who wouldn't bring their Pin Book (or Vince & Suzi's trader book(s)) to the challenge?

3. Who will be felled by an alligator attack? Or who will emerge as the "Alligator Hunter?"

4. Will brush fires flush the Survivors from the swamp? Will they be chased by (or chase) wild pigs?

5. Will the Fesitvus Pole reemerge within an immunity challenge? (And can we impale Jeff Probst on top of it?)

6. What do Love Bug larva look like?

7. Is the clip thingy on the end of a lanyard a carabiner? Can it be used as one?

8. Rice as a food staple has been overdone. Will these new Survivors have to subsist on a dozen Krispy Kremes a day?

9. Can we keep the Survivors safe from Florida drivers? How close IS the swamp to I-4?

10. And finally, what corporate sponsors will send buckets of money to AZ Jazzy Jeff in exchange for cameo appearances on "Survivor--The Ultimate Pin Challenge?"

We shall see... And I can't wait! Thanks Jeff, for brightening our days.

oh no!
LOL who else has a birthday soon besides me? what's the name of that thread looking for birth dates???
Kathryn

Not to worry


Kathryn you could always send a pix from some sexy magazine as your birthday suit shot....lol!!!Or one of a real womans birthday suit, sweatpants, baggie tee, and warm socks...along with the chocalate cake...

"8. Rice as a food staple has been overdone. Will these new Survivors have to subsist on a dozen Krispy Kremes a day?"
IMO, that would be WAY too easy. I could live on Krispy Kremes - no problem!

"9. Can we keep the Survivors safe from Florida drivers? How close IS the swamp to I-4?"

I-4 is on the swamp! I-4 would be a dangerous crossing - like a dry river bed suddenly filled with rainwater. Not to mention the random swamp fires...

I still can't think of what I would possibly use as a luxury item... my annual pass maybe? Or my credit card.. I could always buy another AP!

Dar

JudySue


OH NO!!! You mean you havn't been told about the swamp adaped sharkes just found in Florida!!! Jeff, you are going to supply shark repellent ....

pintrader

yo Deb

maybe there ought to be a "Taurus" team LOL. Do you think a Palm Pilot with Internet connectivity and a database of all the Disney property phones numbers along with property shortcuts and PinPics on it would be a worthy "Luxury"?

-----------

EpcotKilterFan

Yo Kath!


Team Taurus Rules!
I do believe that the Palm Pilot can be a Luxury item.....

And we could not survive on Krispy Kreme....but Cheese soup!!

Invitations have been made...

Deep within the Arizona desert, a lone figure is seen walking across the harsh sands. Deliberately, he makes his way towards you. As he approaches, you can see he is dressed as an adventurer. Along his belt is his bullwhip, which seems to have seen quite a lot of action. Upon his head is a weather beaten Diamondbacks hat. Adorning his leather jacket can be seen twelve Christmas pins that were gathered from his last great adventure. As he reaches you, he speaks,
“Twenty-four contestants have been identified to partake in the next grand adventure. I have personally spoken to each of them and requested their presence. If they accept my challenge, they shall report here for the adventure to begin. Everyone shall be given until the setting of the sun on Monday next to check in. Those who fail to meet this deadline shall be left to fend for themselves. Adventure waits for no one.”

As he completes his comments, our hero turns and walks towards the sunset. The shadows begin to fade as night falls and everyone waits for the contestants to arrive.

Calling Team 1

Oh My God! I've had my invite!
Ok, I am part of Team 1

My name is Penny and I live in London, UK and I've never ever seen Survivor! I do however, live in the East End of London, so being a Cockney I feel that I have a small advantage there to help me make of for that

So 'team', whereever you are...I'm looking forward to some top tips on any Alligator wrestling and Swamp stomping as both of them are a bit thin on the ground over here... (Hmmm, I do have the Hackney Marshes close by, so maybe I could get in some intensive training there first? There are lots of puddles.)

I'm also a bit curious about this Birthday Suit I heard I might need (May 4th). Is this a smart thing, like for the office? or can it be maybe just some sort of informal, casual 2 piece...

Now then...I have to go and give some serious thought to my Luxury Item!

Thanks for the invite Jeff - even though I can only imagine what it is I am getting in to!


Penny!

Not unless Jeff is still sending letters, I'm left out in the heat by myself No Story for me this time.

Third member, Team #1, reporting in...
Totally surprised and brought to full consciousness very early (DS had outing) this morning when my welcome invitation appeared...nearly buried and already dusty and worn by the endless spam which promises to save my credit, home, marriage, children, hard-drive, "entertainment deficits" AND guarantees a weight-loss of at least 50 lbs in the next 3 hours! And I didn't even know I had all those problems. Knowing those caring and wonderful SPAMMERS have my homebound interests well in hand, I can procede with gusto at PIN SURVIVAL!

Grab that lightsaber, OBI WAN! (Malibu Matt was only a disguise...everyone now knows the true identity of MZLUCAS, uh, DAVIS.) Ditch Darth's pin in the dirt, rev the Falcon to light-speed and set your course for Earth and the might Team One, we who anxiously await you and THE FORCE to begin our Pin Survival journey and quest.

And Penny, we are "pin-sync"! Matched with Taurean determination, East-End Cockney and the pinfamy that has, oh, just occasionally been linked with Chicago. (Keyword: Capone, Al) Not much experience in alligator wrestlin' or swamp-stompin' but somethin' tells me we'll be REALLY quick studies! Heck, we'll dust off our leatha' togetha' and plunge (ARGHHH, to what I'm not sure) right in...to the pins and whatever we must face to reach them!

AND, as I wrote the MAN IN THE DIAMONDBACK HAT, thanks to the demise of the Bulls (any Washingtonian who smirks gets a big, old, moldy raspberry!), the pINFINITE futility of being DIE-HARD CUB FANS plus the Bears decade-long hibernation (aren't they hungry yet???), I have learned to be strong and survive under the most dire, desperate, and disheartening conditions.

Now, hope we soon here from the intrepid members of our team who have not, as yet, revealed themselves.

Duckfan


team 4 reports in

On a lazy Saturday morning, Duckfan turns on her pin communication device and waits for input. It's Saturday so only have her brain is working. This is probably a good thing as the poor thing receives a communication from the man in the hat with too much weight on his chest (man those pins must be heavy she thinks). He tells her she has been selected. She is not awake enough to be afraid so she accepts......
Okay, here is a member of Team 4, Duckfan, new trader with limited trading abiltity but a crazed and creative mine reporting in.. where are the rest of the team?

Team #2


Dom,
Jeff has made the challange and little did he know he is putting two of the 4 stooges on the same team. We have an advantage, we are close enough to work out our plans and beat those other two teams. And with our combined strength, to say nothing of our intelligence,
Red Rover Red Rover send team 3..... sorry wrong game.
But anyway, I am up for the challenge. The only thing I might have a problem with is sending the photo to our leader. Can I send my high school picture or the glamour shot I had made 10 years ago??? Peggie

Team #4 Here!

I beg you now, fellow team members, go back to your loved ones! I have never seen this show. I will lead us into the pit, into the ravine, or into whatever!!!!

OHHHHHH....Cindy! He couldn't have known, that Man in the Diamondback Hat, that he was pairing Motor Mouths of which even NASCAR would be proud! Another great surprise this morning!

What if the rest of team #4 never shows?


May I hereby claim the right to choose worthy alternates from the likes of Cherry, Ann, Linda, and Kathryn?
(If my earlier post has scared them away from team#4. )

Bridegirl was just returning from her wedding dress fitting. She whipped up a mango margarita and streched out by pool to sip it down under the bright sunny Southern California rays, while checking her e-mail.
Low and behold! A summons! A message! The game was beginning! And she was ready. She pulled a Pin trader t-shirt on over her bridal bikini and set out to find her team mates.

There's only one thing girls love more than being brides. A contest! A game!

Western memories...


As the sun sets below the western horizon and the night stars begin to twinkle in the twilight, our hero stands alone in the desert. In his hand is a small notebook. By the light of the full moon, Arizona Jeff writes in his journal,
"Day one is now complete. All of the invitations have been sent. The contestants have begun to arrive at their predefined destinations. Of the twenty-four that were contacted, sixteen have arrived. Eight others are still unaccounted for but hope remains that they shall arrive soon. Two days remain before the quest begins. I am concerned. Of the sixteen who have come, only five have brought a picture and only three have their luxury item. Looking over this crew, it is still unclear who will survive. Time and the adventure will give us the answer."

Duckfan


why don't you cheerleaders form a "team"

you may not be on a team right now but you could pick a team to root for and encourage through what I am sure will be a wild time. Develope codes and everything, after all my dh always said only 8 people play football but everyone plays in the band.

Opting out - this is a little like being half invited - you can come to the house but have to watch the party through the window.

Wow What fun. I've never seen the series but am proud to be an observer in the bleachers with the others. We will cheer you all on as you dig worms and eat bugs, speed down the lazy river or chase through the skies above avoiding all the dire things we just know Jeff has thought up for you. Good luck to all and may the best pinhead survive !

bugs... rats...yech


I don't think they will make us eat rats.. I mean isn't that kind of like a relative to the Mouse, you know the one I mean.. I should have brought Snow's cat.

Bugs are no problem...


just dip 'em in chocolate, instant Nestle's Crunch!
Rats? That's the day I decide to fast...faster and faster! HOWEVER, if it comes to skinning a 'gator for the spit, hey, PARTY TIME!

Seriously...everyone is gonna have a terrific time with this just as Duckfan and MZD suggest!

In fact, I personally think we should offer anyone who's ROFL on the sidelines as we HEAVE ho our way through these gourmet meals a very generous sample portion of each course!

I have a question I need to ask.. since it is really hard to read true emotions when they are just words typed in a post, I would like to know if there are people that are truly upset that they were not chosen as contestants in this round of Disney Pin Survivor.
Please keep in mind that people were picked purely at random and that new people as well as older members were included. The entire board was going to be asked to participate in this game in one way or another, whether it be as a player or as the jury who decides who should be "voted off the island". This is not meant to be a game for a select few, rather something for everyone to enjoy and play along with.
I'm sure there was never an intention to hurt feelings and make people feel left out.. only to create a fun tale that could be followed by all.
Matthew

 

[MZDavis]

Duckfan

I agree

with the above post. I would hate for anyone to really be upset. I am on a team this time but there have been lots of times in my past that I wasn't. I hate that feeling. Please be patient and enjoy the ride. I am pretty sure there is a lot more ideas in Jeff disneycrazed mind with parts for everyone. But if people are really hurt, I would well, if I could, give up my spot because it is great to feel a part of this community.

Kathi, we got plenty of room up here on the bleachers, come, join us!!! Okay now guys, we as a team are going to need:

- AK spray bottles that have fans attached....
anything else?

Matthew, feelings hurt??? pshaw!

Robin

Cherry


No hurt feelings here! I'm all settled in on the bleachers with my stadium seat and my good buddies around. Sunglasses, Robin, don't forget the sunglasses. And maybe one of those really good pineapple ice cream things from the MK to keep us cool while we're watching the competition.
Glad you're here, Kathi, this is going to be fun!
Maybe we can make up some cheers, guys, to root the teams on once we know what their names are.

Lauri/Matthew -- got any cheerleaders clip art we can use?

The saga begins...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the sun slowly sets below the horizon, the final remnants of daylight fade to darkness. The night sky begins to come alive with countless stars not seen within the city. Far in the distance is the cry of a coyote breaking the lonely silence. In the midst of the darkness sits a man who has built a fire. He appears to be waiting for something or someone to join him.
From out of the night, several people suddenly appear. They look very confused and many of them even seemed frightened as if they are not sure what to expect. Without turning around, our hero speaks to the figures approaching from behind, “Well, well, well it would appear that you indeed waited until the very end before accepting this challenge. This does not bode well for your adventure.”
“I, uh, we, hmm, it was John’s fault!” exclaimed one voice from the crowd.
Ah, already there was contention within the group. This would indeed be quite a trial for Arizona Jeff. “It matters not why you waited until the end. It merely matters that you are here. Gather around the campfire as I explain what is about to occur.” Said Arizona Jeff.
With that, the group made its way around the campsite eager to hear what is in store for them.
“You have each been randomly selected to accompany me on my next great adventure. I am again in search of rare antiquities and need help to bring them back to the Arizona Disney Pin Museum. At the end of my last adventure, I heard of another elusive set of pins. After countless weeks of research and many visits to Vault Disney, I have identified four rare pins that together create a set. Based upon the journals and writings in the Vault, it seems these pins must be collected simultaneously or they shall be cursed. Since I cannot be in four places at once, I need your help. My problem is that I don’t know who is best able to help me. To help me determine who is most suited, I have devised this challenge. You have been divided into four teams of six members. Your team will be given an area in which to set up base camp. Once established, you will be presented with challenges that will help me determine your skill set. At the end of each episode, a member from one of the teams will be asked to leave the adventure. Before you think that you are in this alone, let me assure you that is not the case. There will be countless people watching your every move. They will form your destiny. These onlookers have an enormous job ahead of them. They will identify the challenges you will face, provide input to your adventure, and ultimately they will vote to decide your fate. Throughout your adventure, you will come in contact with many individuals. Some will be helpful, others will not. How you deal with these encounters will help the members determine how worthy you are to continue.” Recounted Arizona. At this point, he reached into his pocket and removed four Disneyland 2000 shield pins. He held them out and the firelight danced upon the faces of the pins.
“Each team will assign a representative to carry one of these pins. If your pin is lost, your team shall forfeit all members and be eliminated. Your team’s goal is to trade this pin for one of the four that I am looking for. The pins that the Museum has asked me to search for are the Walt Disney World Seasonal Series featuring characters from Winnie the Pooh. The teams will determine which pin in the series they will attempt to retrieve. The teams will choose in the order that they were filled. Team 4 will choose first followed by Team 3 then Team 1 and finally Team 2. Once this has been decided, everyone shall board the plane I have chartered to begin the adventure. According to the archives at Vault Disney, the adventure shall take place on swampland, which Disney obtained some 30 years ago. When we arrive at our destination, each team will be given additional instructions. Good luck adventurers. If I know the members of this board, they have many ideas and your journey shall be memorable indeed.”
With that, Arizona Jeff put out the campfire and gathered his belongings making his way in the dark to what at first appeared to be a deserted airfield. Soon though a plane arrived to carry the adventurers to their destination. At last, the adventure begins.

Jeff

It was not John's fault

This is a story in itself. Our dining room ceiling was really really starting to crumble from all the rain and a leak in our roof.
The guys have been working on it for a couple of days and guess where our computer is.
Yep right in the middle of the dining room.
I am ready for any adventure. Name your poison.

Can I get a pizza delivered in or near the swamp?

uvs to ...


is that your final answer? Wanna use a lifeline or phone a friend??? That cell phone may not work in the "swamp". Being a frequent to the swamp, I have reason to believe that for some sadistical reason Disney has blocked signals from most if not all cell phones, rendering them virtually useless on property.

Goofymom..checkin in

and my luxury item is .....TOILET PAPER....well now I am sure you know the most logical reason for it in the swamps, but did you know you can use it to wrap a pin, wipe a nose, sooth a cut, wipe away tears, stuff a bra...oops now where did that come from,....anyway even the little tube has its uses...funnel, horn, firestarter, etc...so see it wasnt a really silly choice afterall...
Now where did all those cheerleaders for team one go....Ann, Suzanne....waiting to hear those great cheers when we disembark the plane....

Hi all,
I guess I have no choice as the nurse to bring a full first aid kit.
I have lots of moleskin for our blisters, bandaids, gauze and tape for the cuts and scratches we get , bug spray, suntan lotion, scissors to cut the gauze and tape,and lots of other little things necessary for a safe and healthy day in the swamps.
I will send in my photo soon Jeff, I have to run over to the opposition (Leslie) and have her take it with her camera. Good thing she is about as computer illiterate as me otherwise I would be worried that she may add a few extra noses. Peggie

Team 3 ROCKS!!!!


Just checking in and letting you know about my luxury item...I dug my official James Bond/Austin Powers spy Swiss army knife out of storage. Here's what it has:
blade
magnifying glass-to see clues
mat cutter-good for framing
scissors-hair cut anyone?
blow torch-ya never know
decoder-in case we meet up with the "enemy"
flare gun-to send up a signal
lip stick-a gal's gotta look good, even in the Swamp-back
compartment full of rubber pinbacks
Mickey Stamper- for marking things along the way
I have been working out all week, and am ready for the challenge!!

And by the way...watch out for Peggie with that mole skin...that stuff is deadly! And, by the way also....I do know how to put extra noses on your picture, but I promise not to (what??? DH just said something about crossing my fingers behind my back...I don't know what he's talking about).

The plane, the plane, the plane
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The contestants slowly entered the plane and found seats. It was clear that they had already divided themselves up into teams. As the plane left the ground, the players were busy talking amongst themselves. It was clear that these people were beginning to think as a team since they had immediately identified names for themselves. Team 1 proclaimed themselves to be Pinvincible. Team 4 began to refer to themselves as the Rolling Peaches. Team 3 soon countered after a long and lengthy discussion with the name of Landsharks. As for Team 2, they climbed on board went to their seats and immediately went to sleep. Not another word was heard from them until the food cart began to make its rounds. At that time, they were conscious and very excited. Between bites, they agreed that they should be the Mad Hatters. Many of the contestants must have believed this would be their last meal as their savored every bite of freeze-dried chicken with wild rice and a stale slice of carrot cake. Before long, the plane began its decent into central Florida. The doors of the airplane opened and the players gathered their personal items and made their way to the door. The Rolling Peaches were once again the first to the door, they were all eager and not one of them had stopped talking since they boarded the plane in Arizona. The Landsharks were next although it took 10 minutes before they appeared at the plane door. It seems they had to discuss how best to unfasten their seat belts and then vote on the order in which they would appear. Pinvincible came next, they seemed to have a swagger about them as the said little but came to decisions quickly. As for the Mad Hatters, well Arizona Jeff had to go into the cabin and wake them as they were all sleeping once again. When everyone was finally off the plane, they walked across the runway towards what looked to be the bus from the Partridge Family. Along the way, they saw numerous elderly women who seemed to have had one to many Dole Whips sitting in Lazy Boy recliners. As the contestants walked by, several of the women attempted to dislodge themselves from the chairs but after several unsuccessful attempts, they slumped back down with a haphazard “Yeah”. The contestants loaded up their items on the bus and again awaited further transportation. Arizona Jeff took out what looked to be a very old map and began to survey the area. After his review, he stepped onto the bus and gave the driver directions. As it pulled out, sounds of Keith Partridge could be heard streaming out of the eight-track player. The driver followed Arizona Jeff’s instructions perfectly and soon they arrived at the spot that was marked on the map with an “X”. Everyone got off the bus and looked around and then at each other. It was clear that they were not where they thought they should be.
“I can’t understand this. This is the exact spot marked on the map as the swamp where the four pins are located.” Said Arizona Jeff.
“Well this don’t look like no swamp to me!” Exclaimed Mean Laureen. “This is more like some kind of park!”
“How old is this map?” Asked Pinhook.
“The date says 1969.” Said Arizona.
“I have socks older than that and I know where those are.” Added John59.
There they stood, all gazing up at the sign that stood before them. What they thought was a swamp now said Walt Disney World Transportation Center. The map of the swamp had been transformed into a map that consisted of 4 parks.
“Regardless of its current condition, those four pins are here. I can sense them. There is only one thing to do. We must split up and each team will take a different park and try to find the pin. Pinvincible, I want you to go to the place they call Disney/MGM Studios and look for the Summertime Piglet pin. Rolling Peaches, you have been assigned to the Animal Kingdom to search for the Springtime Tigger pin. Landsharks, you will go to EPCOT to find the Autumn Eeyore pin. Mad Hatters, Mad Hatters? Oh for heavens sakes, will someone go on the bus and wake them up? Tell them that they are to visit the Magic Kingdom and look for the Winter Pooh.” Arizona Jeff said.
With this, the teams each regrouped and collected their personal belongings. Already, the teams were contesting who would be successful first in the search for their pin. It was clear that there would be challenges between the teams as they tried to prove who where the ultimate pin survivors.
“Each of you must go to your defined parks and begin your quest for the designated pin. At the end of your episode, return back to the Walt Disney World Transportation Center. There will then be time to challenge one of the other teams to prove your worthiness to continue this adventure. The team who loses the challenge will have one of their members voted out of the contest. Good luck adventurers. I will see you back here soon enough.” Said Arizona Jeff.

Team #4 - The Rolling Peaches - Assembles at the Entrance to Animal Kingdom


Six bright, springey-stepped (Tigger-like?), excited Survivors poured off the AK tram, and headed for the AK turnstiles.
As we walked we were heard to sing one of our many new team songs:

Zippity Doo Dah, Zippity Ay!
My oh my what a peach of day.
Plenty of pin trades, rollin' our way,
Zippity Dooh Dah, Zippity Ay!
There's the Peachident on our banner,
He's our boss, of course, who could better lead our force?
Zippity Doo Dah, Zippity Ay!
Here come the peaches rollin' your way!

As we approached the AK turnstiles, we each whipped out our super-special Survivor-provided passes, and entered the park of our destiny.

We took a moment to slather on our SFP999 and anti-bug spray. (Susy and I were very glad to discover that our virtual selves did not require the rental of those go-carts. We had been miraculously stored to our previous states of vim and vitality!)

We noticed a group of youthful-yet-mature cheerleaders off to one side. Several of the cheerleaders looked quite sad. Our Peachident inquired why the group was unhappy and they responded that they couldn't find a survivor group to cheer for -- one that would be worthy of their attention, and not just a corrupt group of insincere bribers!

As a group, the Rolling Peaches approached the cheerleaders and began handing out little goody bags with mints, pre-frozen Disney fruit drinks in commemorative cups, and very special vouchers. The cheerleaders appreciated the tastefulness of our gifts and were very interested in the voucher.

Well, we all know what vouchers are for . . .don't we???

Stay tuned . . .

Pinvincible – Day 1 Disney-MGM Studios
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Pinvincible team collected themselves and began to make their way up the ramp to a waiting Monorail. They would be traveling to Epcot before boarding a ferry that would take them MGM Studios. Each member had brought with them one item to use on this adventure. The tan strapping lad in the lead was Malibu Matt. He had brought along his trusty Darth Maul Light Sabre with extra batteries and kept moving the device from hand to hand as he tried to find a comfortable way to carry it. Behind MM was Goofymom. She had brought toilet paper and carried it through the tube on her index finger. Her problem was trying to decide which would be best, should she hold it so it unrolled from the top or from the bottom. This was a great concern to her as she concentrated on this to the point that she kept running into the back of MM causing him to fall several times. The laughter being heard behind GM came from Disneymad. DM had brought along her Disney CD player and CD. She was constantly checking the battery level as she forgot to bring extra batteries. That did not stop her from watching the comedy going on in front of her though. Everyone liked Disneymad, it was probably her British accent and proper dress. Everyone kept asking her if she were related to Mary Poppins, which seemed to be getting on her nerves. Behind DM came Shirley38, one of only two members of the team that did not have an “M” associated with their names. Shirley38M just for consistency sakes had decided to bring with her waterproof matches. It was a good thing the matches were waterproof as they were covered in dog spit. SM had offered to split up the matches and let everyone carry some but so far, no one wanted the wet sticks. After Shirley38M came Fantasmickey. FM had decided to bring a Tumi “mini office” suitcase that seemed to be completely full of who knows what. The suitcase was on wheels and was obviously very heavy. It had gotten away from FM on a couple of occasions knocking down team members and other innocent bystanders. The latest problem was that the wheels had gotten lodged in a storm gate on the way to the Monorail. FM was desperately trying to dislodge it but she couldn’t. Bringing up the rear of the group was SwampFox whose item had already come in handy just in the walk to the transportation. SF had brought with him a Leatherman, the tool not the doll. It had several useful items on it, the one that was currently coming in handy was a large blade that was being used to pry the wheels of FM’s suitcase from the storm gate. As they reached the Monorail, they each took seats and immediately departed the Transportation Center. Soon they found themselves at the Epcot station where they once again collected their things and made their way to the fairy. As they tried to board her, she began to scream. “Hey, what do you think you are doing? Can’t you see I am trying to read? And another thing, this seat is taken. I swear, first I am kicked out of the front yard, now I am ousted from an Epcot restroom. If this keeps up, I am never going to get these PinPics papers read.” Said TDC Blue Fairy. With this she rushed from the room. Pinvincible looked at each other, shrugged and made their way to the lagoon to board a “ferry” to Disney-MGM Studios. They soon arrived at their destination and entered through the front entrance to the park. This crew and their items were a sight to behold and tourists everywhere were gawking at them and pointing. It did not seem to affect the players as they had their own problems to deal with. They were in search of a Piglet seasonal pin and they were unclear how they were going to proceed. They gathered around in a group, took out their map of the park and began to formulate a plan of where they would go to search for this pin.

Mad Hatters – Day 1 Magic Kingdom
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Mad Hatters team yawned and stretched rubbing their eyes surprised to see that it was daylight. They realized that most of them had no idea what was going on but someone said something about the Magic Kingdom and they were all for going to the Hall of Presidents where it was dark and quiet and they could get some sleep. Slowly, they began to collect their belongings to make their way to the park. Since they had been sleeping most of the trip so far, they decided it would be nice if they got a little exercise and they stressed little. The team therefore decided that they would walk along the Seven Seas lagoon to their destination. Dom13 was the first to collect his things and set off. Behind his left ear he held an artist’s pencil. In his hand was a sketchpad. It was clear that he was envisioning this adventure as a way for him to be able to draw a few pictures and catch up on his rest. Behind Dom came Mickey527. Mickey527 was the mother figure of the group. She was always checking on the other members and when they went to sleep, it was Mickey527 who tucked little blankets up to their chins and kissed their foreheads. As a typical mother, Mickey527 brought a first aid kit to fix any bumps and “boo-boos” they may get along the way. Behind M527 came the Mad Strawberry. Many thought the Strawberry was nuts only later to find she was just a fruit. As her item, MS had brought her pin bag and traders. When she was awake, she was checking out lanyards. It was clear that she took this pin-trading thing serious. This was evident by the fact that she was lugging around a bag that weighed close to 40 pounds. As a result, Mad Strawberry’s right arm looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger while her left arm looked like Doogie Howser. Many of her teammates were already referring to her as the DoogieNegger. Behind DoogieNegger came John59. No one is clear what exactly happened to the first 58 John’s although they think that TDC Blue Fairy maybe could tell them something. John59 was the eldest of the group. The other team members wanted John59 to bring a cane as his luxury item but he rebuked them and instead brought his trusty hat. This was not an ordinary hat; it was covered in pins and weighed in at over 10 pounds. The problem with this hat was that the weight kept tipping poor John59 over making him walk diagonally back and forth along the path. Following John59 came HolyCow. HC had decided to bring along water, lots and lots of water. The effect of this decision was that HolyCow sloshed when she walked. It was clear that she would not be sneaking up on anyone. It was said that if you listened closely to HolyCow as she walked, you could hear the ocean. Bringing up the rear of the Mad Hatters caravan was PeopleMover. PM had brought along her bible as her luxury item and was constantly reading from the good book. This resulted in her always lagging behind everyone else. She tried to explain to everyone that the maximum speed of a PeopleMover was 1.5 MPH so she was going as fast as she could. The group made their way along the path stopping what seemed like every 5 minutes to stop and look at someone’s brick. Finally, the team made their way to the front gates of the Magic Kingdom and into the park. This was not an easy task in and of itself as the Cast Members had never seen a cow wearing the Pope’s hat and carrying gallons and gallons of water. When they finally made it inside, they stood in front of the Mickey flower garden and Main Street train station and tried to determine which area of the park they would visit first to begin their search for the mysterious Pooh Winter pin.

Landsharks – Day 1 Epcot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Landsharks team had already caused their share of problems on the plane trip to Florida. It seems this team has a devious nature. On several occasions, whipped cream had been placed in the hands of sleeping Mad Hatter’s team members and then their noses were tickled. John59 still had squirt cheese from a can hanging out of his ear. The Landsharks began to gather their things to head towards the Monorail station. The first one to head to the transportation was WVRevy. WVR had brought with him a copy of Birnbaum's Guide to Walt Disney World. He was constantly reading this book and announcing to the others on his team that he had found a new tidbit of information about the park. Following behind WVR was EpcotKilterFan. EKF had decided to bring with her the Disney A-Z Encyclopedia and she too had her nose in a book constantly. The difference was that EKF’s book was larger and she insisted on rubbing that fact in to WVR at every opportunity. WVR was obviously not enjoying the reference to his being smaller and there appeared to be a storm brewing even within this team. Behind EKF came Mean Laureen. She was again dressed in her black leather jacket and had a kickboxing belt wrapped around her head. Although she did not bring it as her item, she did carry a large chip on her shoulder and let everyone know what she thought about everything. What she did bring was a hairbrush and a can of Frizz-eze. It was still unclear how these items would help but one thing was for sure, no one wanted to be the tangle in HER hair. Following ML was BeautyLLM. BLLM had with her what appeared to be a James Bond Swiss Army pocketknife. As she was walking along, she kept flipping it open playing with the different blades and utensils. Among them was a pair of scissors that accidentally snipped off a piece of Mean Laureen’s red hair. BLLM quickly put the knife back in her pocket and hoped that Laureen didn’t notice the missing hair. After BLLM came SnoWhite. SW had decided to bring with her a seven-man inflatable raft that was stored in a small backpack that she carried with her. It had a pressurized air device that could inflate the boat at a moment’s notice and could be used for a number of things. At the rear of the group came SwinginEvilMike. In his hands was a printed out copy of the entire PinPics database. He had reams and reams of fan-folded paper that had every pin that had been entered. He was continually dropping part of the paper deck and having to re-fold it. Being a man, he knew how to fold maps and printouts but didn’t know how to ask for directions. This was proven when he attempted to board the wrong Monorail and nearly ended up at the Contemporary Inn. When the team finally got onto the correct Monorail, they were whisked away to Epcot. As the entered the gates, they found themselves in the midst of the Leave Your Legacy graveyard in the shadow of Spaceship Earth. They huddled closely together and tried to develop their strategy for where they would go next in the park. When no one was looking, they would draw moustaches on the faces of people who had left their legacy. They had to determine where they would go to find the lost Eeyore Autumn pin. Only time will tell what kind of trouble this team will cause.

Rolling Peaches – Day 1 Animal Kingdom
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rolling Peaches were by far the most talkative of the teams. Since the moment that they boarded the plane, they had talked non-stop. They even managed to eat in shifts so that someone was available to talk at all times. It became obvious that this team had a lot on their mind and decided the best way to decide what the team should do was to talk it out. As they continued to chatter back and forth, they gathered up their things and awaited one of the Disney buses to take them to the Animal Kingdom. As everyone knows, the waits for the buses to arrive can be long and arduous. The Peaches didn’t seem to mind as they continued talking the entire time while standing at the bus stop. Pinhook otherwise known as the Peachident lead this group. He had a loyal harem of women who seemed to follow him around everywhere constantly yakking. It did not appear that he was able to get a word in but he patiently listened to everything they were saying. While he listened, he got out his pin book and traders that he brought as his item and rearranged pins from page to page. At the moment, Dar20 had Pinhook’s ear and was chatting about records and water damage as well as house hunting and the current legislation pending in the Florida Congress about the legal alcohol limits for athletic rodents. Dar had brought along with her a credit card. After all, you cannot go anywhere without a credit card. From the looks of the card, it was fairly worn to the point where the numbers were no longer raised and there were skid marks down the card from the countless times it was run through the scanning machine. Next to Dar20 was Duckfan. DF was busy talking as well; all the while she was packing and repacking her fanny pack. The odd thing was that there was only one thing in there, a roll of moleskin. At first, when she proclaimed that she had brought a moleskin several of the team members with weaker stomachs nearly lost their lunch as they through about skinless moles wandering around the country. They were relieved to find out this was used for covering blisters and such. Behind DF was Bridegirl. Tear streaks were still visible on her cheeks from the tearful good bye at the airport when she left her darling groom. To help drown her sorrows, Bridegirl had brought a case of Cristal from 1988. No one was quite sure how she was going to carry around a case of champagne but they really wanted her to be successful. Next to BG was EeyoresPal. From the way she was looking at Bridegirl’s champagne, by the end of the adventure she may be changing her name to BridegirlsPal. EP had decided to bring with her a roll of waterproof adhesive tape. This may very well be the most important luxury item anyone brought as by the end of this adventure the tape may be used across some of these people’s mouths for a little peace and quiet. The last member of this team was Luv2Roam. True to her name, L2R was again on walkabout looking all around at the sights. With her was her trusty cell phone, which seemed appropriate since she too seemed to like to talk. As the bus arrived, the driver identified herself as TiggersMom and invited them to board the bus. The team climbed aboard and began their journey to the Animal Kingdom. All along the way they sang and talked much to the chagrin of the bus driver. As the bus pulled into the Animal Kingdom parking lot, Tiggersmom gave them an earful about how loud and silly they all were. Couldn’t they just shut up for even a minute? The team took her ribbing in fun and patted her on the head as they left the bus, still talking away. The Rolling Peaches made their way through the gates and into what looked like a tropical garden. There they all huddled together to talk about what their next move would be. There was a Springtime Tigger pin that must be found and time was short indeed.

JEFF WAS RIGHT ABOUT "THE HAT"


Yeh, I was wobbling all over the place, because of "THE HAT".
Quick shuffled the Pins around.

Fixed the wobble, but (why is there always a but) I got the Biggins on one side and Littlins on the other side. Now I am walking in circles.

Team Mad Hatters---Did Jeff mention Pooh---Is he trying to say something about the new attraction in the Magic Kingdom. Is it a clue or a curve. Somebody on my team, HELP !!!!---Gotta fix these Pins fast, getting dizzy.

Plop Plop Fizz Fizz
Gaining weight? WHO IS ????
Guess we should all shuffle over to the Animal Kingdom and see if Pinhook REALLY knows his way around any park besides EPCOT. They may have to make him President of the Lost Boys Order. hah

Next should we look at MGM and see if there is a rebel base anywhere around Team. We'll meet up back here to discuss strategies of of the EPCOT and Magic Kingdom group.

Now, At Magic Kingdom I think we should check near the Pooh Ride at that toll house cookie place. And at EPCOT, I'm sure we'll find traces of team members at Le Cellier.

Where should we be looking at AK and MGM Just stand outside the turnstiles??

wow, thanks TIggersmom

I just want to thanks Tiggersmom for Driving us. She is so helpful. I know she thinks we talk too much but she loves us anyway. We are all trying not to get too sidetracked, and I of course had to go see the moles, just to make sure that my moleskin did not come from there. I spotted Naked moles but I am happy to report that none were skinned. Please note: although some things in this park do eat bugs, I am still not one of them.

Blast!!!
I always forget the batteries...

I will really have to watch that battery level now though...I originally thought my Disney CD would be the moral booster for the whole team, but I have since found it to be a much more potent weapon... it was all very strange really, whilst discussing tactics at the front gate of MGM with my comrades, we were approached by a Character - well, when I say Character, I mean a Star Wars Stormtrooper. He was very fierce and I could see that MM was already reaching for his Darth Maul Light Sabre as the Stormtrooper started questioning us about our activities. Just when I thought we (that is MM, but the team were right behind him, honest!) were going to have to fight it out the Stormtrooper paused at the sound of the sweet melodies that were coming forth from my CD Player. Suddenly he appeared hypnotised and no longer interested in our movements...I suggested that we be allowed on our way, please Mr Stormtrooper with the big gun, and as if in a trance, the Stormtrooper agreed and left us be! Hmmm, a hypnotic effect - I think that could prove to be a useful weapon in the future!

Hmmmm, Mary Poppins eh? Hmmmm.....

Which batteries do you need, Penny?

Hey Teamie,
Among the "who knows what" I have in my huge suitcase (HA! the case is 12" x 16" and expands to a whopping 8 or 9" deep if both large sections are filled with bulging pin cases! Just HAD to clarify that matter!) are the extra batteries I keep for my Palm Pilot and DS's hand-held game (removed for the time bein).

Need AAA, AA or C batteries?...Rock on! Not only the FORCE will be with us to overcome those mindless Imperial dupes but enough battery power to anesthetize the whole Squadron! PLMK...ASAP...
if I can help!

wvrevy

Well, we Sharks are gonna set up camp, appropriately enough, at Pin Central in the strange land of EPCOT. We've heard rumors (which MY book told me about, even though EpcotKilterFan's much BIGGER book neglected to mention them...lol) about a wandering tribe of people known as "Supertraders".
Apparently, these nomadic folk migrate throughout the park, displaying their collected relics on their exotic clothing. I suspect they may be some kind of shaman that worship these shining antiquities that they display. We're hopeful that one of our NICER members can convince them to share any info they may have. We certainly don't want Mean Laureen, evilMike, or yours truly (the evil mime) to have to get involved...nor do they...(insert evil laugh here)

amazingly enough

the rolling peaches found that they could only bounce so long. It seemed to rattle the peach stones in there giant creative brains. So with panting breathe they bid tigger goodbye in springtime and headed for the Festival of the Lion King show. Talking, talking, talking, talking while you walk, keeps the story moving on and gives you quite a rush. Calmly, the crew procedes to the entrance when they are stopped by an incredible sight, it stops them all in their tracks, it is incredible, it is stunning, it is wonderous, it is a castmember with an untouched lanyard. The team nearly faints in shock. But Eeyore's Pal is moving like a chipmunk being chased by a duck (no not duckfan, she's too slow), for on that lanyard is the all glowing miracle pin ( no not the quest pin, that would be too easy, besides stop trying to second guess me). She spots the Festival of the Lion King pin. She quickly steals a pin from the team's fearless leader, barely able to keep from ripping his vest. She trades with the castmember, barely allowing them to take off her long quested for pin. It glows in her hand (well to her it does). The rest of the crew look over the pins and the castmember who is strangely wearing a mask. With a few quick back looks, the crew proceeds to the show. Quest or not they have to visit this place. They must initiate Dar20. Still they all ponder as Luv2Roam says out loud. "Who was that masked castmember?"

I hope it's not too late

to become a cheerleader.
After a very difficult week & a half trying to get my ISP to work on my new computer - it finally worked yesterday after reinstalling all my software - yes everything including the operating system. I finished readin the Pin Survivor Saga & other postings this morning.

I would like to join the cheerleaders in their comfy chairs & cheer on the teams. I must say I am leaning toward the Mad Hatters since 2 fellow Connectikiters are on the team. Go rah, rah MAD HATTERS!!

Day 2 - Pinvincibles at MGM Studios
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Pinvincibles had met as a team and determined that if they were to find the Lazy Days Piglet pin, the search would have to begin. Looking over the map, they quickly came back with a battle plan. What better place for a pig in an inner tube than Echo Lake? Gathering up their personal belongings, they began to follow FantasMickey as she led them to Dinosaur Gertie's Ice Cream of Distinction. The team walked down Hollywood Boulevard towards the Great Movie Ride. Along the street were several women lounging in recliners who were attempting to wave. Well, more specifically, they were attempting to right themselves in the chairs but it was difficult to see from under a stack of pepperoni pizza boxes and Dole whip cups. As the team approached Echo Lake in front of the 50’s Prime Time Diner was a mysterious figure. Dressed all in black, the figure emerged into the sunlight. There against the dark clothing was a shiny pin. That pin was none other than a Lazy Days Piglet Seasonal pin. Malibu Matt was the first to spot the pin and attempted to call out. Since the figure was still very far away, Malibu decided to raise his hands to his face to help his voice carry longer. Unfortunately for him, he happened to be playing with his Darth Maul Light Saber with the additional batteries at the time. In his excitement, he accidentally flipped the switch on. The laser blades immediately came on slicing half of his moustache cleanly off his face. The other end of this two-ended weapon completely shredded one pant leg from the waistband down to the ankle. He stood there stunned. The smell of burned hair still lingered in the air. With all the commotion, the dark figure with the pin had disappeared from sight leaving the team confused and somewhat disappointed. They had to feel good that at least they had seen the pin even if just for a moment. Night was approaching and it was time for the team to set up camp. They made their way over to Tattooine Traders to set up base camp. The team began to clear an area near the Star Tours exit. Park visitors would stop to stare as they began to make camp. Since team members had neglected to bring a tent or other shelter, they were forced to unroll the Toilet Paper that Goofymom had brought to shade themselves from the elements. Luckily, it was a double roll and two-ply so for now they seemed protected. It was time once again to determine where to look next for the dark figure with the coveted Piglet pin.

Day 2 - Mad Hatters at Magic Kingdom
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squish, squish, squish, were all the sounds that were heard as HolyCow rambled her way down Main Street carrying her own private Seven Seas Lagoon. Behind her were the remaining members of the Mad Hatters. The other team members found it refreshing to follow behind her as the cool breeze coming off the water helped to reduce the Florida heat. The team had determined that the best place to look for the Winter Pooh pin would be at The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh attraction and off they went towards Fantasyland. Along both sides of Main Street were groups of frumpy women in recliners basking in the sun with various culinary delights strewn around their chairs. At first, the cheerleaders attempted to raise their arms in a wave but soon found that they would have to put down the food if that were to happen. Obviously that was not going to happen so they did the next best thing. As the team members passed, each of the woman flipped up the footrest in unison creating the world’s first Lazy-Boy wave. The Mad Hatters gratefully acknowledged the cheerleaders and then headed past Cinderella’s Golden Carousel towards Dumbo the Flying Elephants. The team members were so interested in the sound of the ocean that HolyCow was making that they completely missed the figure dressed in black circling above their heads a top a flying elephant. The figure’s face was in the shadows but a Wintertime Pooh pin glistened in the late afternoon sunlight. The Mad Hatters continued on their journey not knowing how closely they had come to completing their mission. Sunlight was quickly fading as the sun began to set. John59 decided that it might be best if they set up camp for the evening. To mark a spot for camp, John dropped his hat. Unfortunately, due to the weight of the hat, a large size 7 3/8 crater was formed. HolyCow missed seeing this hole and tripped into it sloshing water into the pothole thereby filling it full. As the water settled in the hole around the hat, the team members looked up to find 27 tourists with cameras who immediately formed a line at the edge of the hole thinking this was a new attraction. As John attempted to retrieve his waterlogged hat, two people asked him when FastPass would be installed at the hole since they did not want to stand in line. As night arrived, the team members huddled around each other for warmth. It seems no one had thought to bring some type of shelter. Luckily, Mad Strawberry’s pin bag was large enough that several of the members could fit inside out of the elements. Another night and still no idea of where the Pooh pin may be.

Day 2 - LandSharks at Epcot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the LandSharks made their way into Epcot, they immediately headed towards Pin Central. If anyone would have an Autumn Eeyore pin, they would be hanging out at Pin Central. When they arrived, they found a helpful young cast member named Phil who happened to be at his first day of work. Mean Laureen approached the young lad and began to flip her red hair to gain the boys attention. She would walk back and forth in front of him batting her eyes and playing with her hair. All the while, Phil would watch her trying to determine what in the world this woman with a purple kickboxing belt in hair was doing. Of course he was so interested in seeing what she was doing that he was completely oblivious to WVRevy who had snuck up behind the lad and was carefully removing pins from his lanyard and replacing them with pins from Universal Studio. After 10 minutes of this, WV had replaced all twelve pins. When he had finished, he signaled Laureen and she waved to the confused boy and walked away. Behind the building, the two LandSharks reviewed their take to determine whether or not they were successful in their quest for the Autumn Eeyore pin. Unfortunately for them, they happened to pick the one cast member who had just traded with a German guest who had managed to trade away all of Phil’s pins for a bunch of rubber pins that are no longer accepted at Walt Disney World. Now WVRevy and Mean Laureen had in their possession twelve pins of no value and Laureen had managed to get her finger stuck in her hair leaving her with only one arm. Not exactly the haul they had intended from this heist. When they reported back to the other members of the LandSharks, there was obvious disappointment. The team decided that they should establish a camp before it got dark. SnoWhite was one of the few team members who actually had though about bringing something to be used as shelter. She removed her backpack and pulled the handle on the inflatable raft. Air immediately inflated the boat flipping it smack dab in the middle of the fountain near Pin Central. At about the time when the raft hit the fountain, a large geyser of water erupted from the center shooting the raft nearly 50 feet in the air. The stunned team members watched in horror as their shelter went ballistic into the atmosphere. After what seemed like an eternity, the boat began its decent and landed squarely on EpcotKilterFan flattening her like some sort of cartoon character. The team members quickly came to her rescue and slid her out from under the boat. The remainder of the evening was spent attempting to help EKF try and determine what day it was or at least where she was at.

Day 2 - Rolling Peaches at Animal Kingdom
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In what has to be a record even for these women, the Rolling Peaches were still talking even after 24 hours straight. It was obviously beginning to wear on the PinHook as he had stopped several times along the path to stick twigs and leaves in his ears to drown out some of the noise. As he reached down for that special leaf that would drown out Dar20, he brushed against a figure standing in the shadows. The figure was dressed all in black but on his cloak was a Springtime Tigger pin. Of course Pinhook was not interested in finding the pin as much as he was interested in finding some peace and quiet. The team made their way to the Lion King shows and went inside. There they watched as men dressed as funky monkeys danced around and bounced from wall to wall on trampolines. The female peaches loved the production as it gave them an opportunity to make more noise. The one frightening part of the production came when DuckFan offered her animal sounds. She selected the sound of a mole being skinned. It was a sound that will wake children up screaming at least until their teenage years. As the show completed, the team made their way into Camp Mickey and Minnie to set up camp. They all pooled their resources to determine how to make their camp. What they found was that no one had thought to bring shelter. Dar20 did bring a credit card though so the team took that and suspended it between four bottles of champagne using waterproof tape. The team members took turns lying under the credit card reading the instructions on what to do if this card was lost or stolen. The night came quickly and the team still had to decide where to look next for the missing pin. Well, everyone had that on their minds except Pinhook. He was still trying to get the sticks and leaves out of his ears.
