Big switch for the face painting contest--they now have to do the painting on each other's family members!

Justin is doing David's son.
Tripp painting Justin's wife's face.
David doing face of Tripp's daugher.

I think originally they thought they were going to paint the face of someone in their own family.

Wow! Impressive work guys! I can't wait to see the results of the actual contest!

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

Hi Kenny! Like the pin on your ears....you're very sweet! Looks like you are having a good time. To quote you earlier....Love the smiles!

Awesome face painting guys....quite impressive!

Ha! 'Looks like I'm one step behind you, Mrs. Fleagle! (My sentiments exactly...)

Cute pic!

What they get to do next is what I would absolutely love to do!!! Who wouldn't!!! An afternoon with the Dream Squad! Cat said that no one ever gets to go with the Dream Squad, not even regular Cast Members! So I have to admit, I'm a little jealous here!

Now that is cool! (And, I didn't realize it was so exclusive...)

Just got home a little bit ago! Another fun day. It was limited access to the face-painting competition but I still have lots of photos and some video to upload, which I'll work on in a bit.

Afterward, I hung out with Kenny and his family as well as Tripp's family for a while. All too much fun.

I'll post pictures soon and video later.

Day 2 of the Chief Magic Official (CMO) competitions began at Epcot, where candidates stood by the tip board answering questions from park guests (as well as a few "guests" with unique and challenging questions). The candidates also showed off their Disney trivia skills in a game show of sorts.

Later in the day, the candidates moved on to Animal Kingdom for a face painting competition. They first practiced an animal design on some friends or family members before the real competition. Just before the real competition, the candidates received a switch-up and had to paint each others' friends or family members instead of their own. Overall, all of the candidates did an impressive job in creating fun painted faces.

Here's a photo gallery from today's Animal Kingdom event:

Some photos, including some horsing around afterward:

Oh yeah, and one of me and Kenny:

Thanks Ricky for all of your pictures and videos. They are all really great!! You should try doing this as a part time job.

By the way, when can we see more video? Did I read it right that you won't be at the award ceremonies?

I'll try to post some video from the face painting tomorrow... a bit too tired tonight to edit it.

I won't be at the announcement as I'll be at the Animal Kingdom re-dedication ceremony.

Not sure if this has been posted, but official videos from the Loudest Crowd, Throw In The Towel, and Stroller Derby have been posted by Disney on the podcast feed (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=278313816).

Last call for "Virtual Road Trip" participants! (The Party Bus rolls out sometime Tuesday, April 22, or -- more likely -- the wee-early hours of Wednesday, April 23! )

Stay tuned for details, including an "itinerary" of bus stops!

Hey Gang -

I'm back in my room, packing for an early morning departure. My plane leaves at 10am, so have to be out their with my luggage at 7:15am!

I haven't posted any pictures or videos tonight for 2 reasons.

1. I am beat. I know it's hard to believe, but I don't have a drop of energy left to spare right now - and I wasn't even in the contests. I guess 10 days at Disney will do that to a 40-something person! That's my longest stay ever!

2. And here's the awful reason: I totally messed up, and accidentally deleted all my pictures and videos from this morning at Epcot! I feel Sooooooooooooooooo bad, and I apologize for the mistake. I can only hope Disney gets up the whole version of the quiz - because Justin just smoked the competition. (Sorry David and Tripp, but he did).

Also, I had some neat interviews to show you, but they are all gone, too.

So please accept my apology, and know I will post what I have from this afternoon sometime after I get home.

Meanwhile - back to packing!

Cat

Ewww, Cat! I'm sorry! (How frustrating!)

Have a safe trip home tomorrow. (Don't say up all night packing! )

 

[Marshay]

Cat -- I am sorry for you! I know you wanted to have all those photos and footage. Certainly no need to apologize to us. But you have your memories of the event and 10 wonderful days at WDW that you can NEVER, EVER relive again!

 

[Marshay]

Ricky thanks for all the updates.

I love the photo of you and Kenny!

 

[madbrad76]

Hello Marshay!!!

Where is everyone tonight?

Has the night shift abandoned me?

 

[Circusgirl]

Here you go, DISgeeks and Marshay - the show was fun and most inspiring. The designers and builders of these creations are amazing.

As are our CMO guys and the reporters on the scene! We've been so lucky to share all these moments. THANKS AGAIN CAT AND RICKY!!!!!

It's off to bed as winter closes in on Seattle. I lived in Boston for 17 years so I have actual weather credentials and understand this is nothing compared to real winter places but our weather has been crazy this year. It snowed like mad while I was making my way to the show tonight - the latest date on which it has ever snowed here.

 

[madbrad76]

Hey everyone!!!

Check out the CMO video site. They have all of the videos up for both days except the "Know the Show" one. Didn't Cat say she accidentally deleted her video of that? Wouldn't it be strange if Disney lost their video too!!!!

<-<-<-<- CLICK on the picture!!!!

Is it just me or do the commentators get on your nerves too? I know they're trying to add a little comedy to the videos. It sounds like they were doing a commercial for the towels at WDW to me. Has anyone else noticed the fluffiness and body of the high quality, high end towels?? I think all of us agree that a fluffy towel is what you want when getting out of a pool or out of a bathtub. I would much rather hear more from the contestants than them.

JUSTIN - OUCH!!! That had to hurt.

JUSTIN & TRIPP - Great job on the TOWELAGOMI elephants!!! I like the simpler look myself. I think David went a little too far with his. If either of you happen to see David, tell him he did a good job on his FOUR LEGGED TORTOISE (as opposed to the others we've seen.) Way to go David on showing the Surratt like pointillism by using those hygiene products!!!

JUSTIN & TRIPP - What was the Cinderella Suite really like? Was it as amazing as it looks in the pictures? Did that have anything to do with the afternoon with the Dream Squad? What special dreams were you able to bestow upon some unsuspecting Disney family?

Wow.........what an original piece of fashion. I don't think I've ever seen such a creative garment! Good for you for not cutting yourself getting into it! I especially liked the CMO broach in the middle!

It looks like your performance at the fashion show was the "TOPS"


It really was neat to get to see you for real.....now I can put your face to your name!
