The Top Three Meet Dis-nee (CMO Contest, Part Three)

[Marshay]

Oh, can't wait for the Cat and Rick photos/videos!!!

So maybe the Intro to the CMOs was the new video for today, and the competitions from today will be up tomorrow and then tomorrow's on Saturday ...

OK, off to vote ...

 

[Marshay]

Oh, and as for a DIScrop or DISscrap weekend, I won't be available until May 18th, since I have a crazy, little thing called A DISNEY VACATION!!! coming up...

Here is a complete photo gallery from the "loudest crowd" competition on Main Street USA at the Magic Kingdom today:

David, Tripp, and Justin each competed on Main Street USA today sporting CMO shirts with extra-large Cast Member name tags.

Each CMO candidate was positioned in a different spot on Main Street. Tripp was closest to the castle, David was in the middle near Center Street, and Justin was near Town Square.

Prior to the competition, each candidate created signs and received props to help garner the crowd's support.

For around 15 minutes, the candidates traversed Main Street in an attempt to recruit park guests to support them in their section.

Tripp had whistles and beach balls.

David had hula hoops and pom-poms.

Justin had drums (a wise choice) and streamers.

Once the competition began, a Disney host with a microphone visited each CMO candidate and had them do whatever they could to have their section of park guests make the most noise. They were rated by a decibel meter.

Ultimately, Justin's drum section and large crowd won the competition, edging out Tripp and David who each decided to have their crowds shout variations of "Mickey Mouse".

While the competition on Main Street ultimately has no direct impact on the voting, the videos will surely give voters visiting DreamCMO.com a chance to get to know each candidate a lot better.

I'll have a video of today's competitions online within a couple of hours and will be heading to Epcot and Animal Kingdom tomorrow to capture the events there as well!

Again, here's a full photo gallery from today: http://photos.attractionsmagazine.com/gallery/4741991_8Wtaj

And (shameless plug) after you're done browsing the photos, be sure to check out the rest of the Orlando Attractions Magazine web site, including free previews of our 3 already-released issues!

It's about preserving memories for a lifetime and reliving the magic of your family wherever you go!!!

Hey...when in Rome...

I think we need to put another "S" in there, or else it looks like DIS-CRAP!

DISscrap!!!

I have a feeling that MadBrad wouldn't disagree with that name.

DIS-crap

The power of the dark side you must resist!!

Just got back from the Magic Kingdom! Main Street competition was GREAT. I've got lots of video and photos that I'll be posting here shortly.

Finally met Justin, Tripp, and David (as well as Cathie!)... they're all so nice and would each make a GREAT CMO.

Stay tuned...

Look, I think we have a new family member!! Thanks so much Ricky for helping Cat out with some of the on the scene reporting!! I look forward to seeing all of your photos and video!

Thank you!!!!!



So MadBrad: What would you like to talk about you ole' grump?

We call my father-in-law the original Grumpy. He has a different Grumpy shirt to wear every day on vacation and always pairs them up with the right Grumpy hat. Last year for MNSSHP we all went as Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs. I need to dig up a picture. My DD4 was Snow White and well, the rest of us were the dwarfs.

Your father-in-law and I would get along great!!! I myself have a closet full of Grumpy attire. I have grumpy clothing that I can proudly wear during the spring, summer, fall, or winter. I've never had the chance to have my picture taken with Grumpy. That would be so cool! So far I've only seen Grumpy in the parks one time. That was at MNSSHP. Wait, that's not your father-in law is it?

WOW, Ricky!!! This is awesome!! I feel like I was right there!!

I'm definitely checking out your site...I don't know what I've been waiting for -- it looks AWESOME!!

 

[madbrad76]

RICKY - All I can say is WOW!!! You are doing a great job. I don't think I can thank you and Cat enough for keeping us here at the DIS-nee family so well informed and up to date on all the CMO competitions. I do have one question though. Where's a pic of our famous Cat?

AWESOME JOB RICKY!!!! THANK YOU!!!

Hey, you should do this for a living!

 

[insidethemagic]

Where's a pic of our famous Cat?

Sorry about that! I didn't meet her until I was on my way out of the Magic Kingdom, thinking only of getting home so I could post the photos. I'll be sure to grab a photo if I see her tomorrow.

I also ran into another DIS member... kinda. A woman was taking photos of the CMOs (you can see her in a blue shirt in one of the first photos in the gallery). She said she lurks on this board but doesn't really post. So... hi! I know you're out there!

 

[AnnDisneyFan]

Cathie is in this photo......white shirt holding a sign -- left hand side of picture!

See Ricky....you DID get the shot! At least I am fairly certain that is her.......

 

[insidethemagic]

Hah, you're right. There's probably very few people that were on Main Street during the competition that I didn't capture in one shot or another.

good eye, Ann!

 

[catotigger]

hey gang!

I know that Ricky posted good stuff already, but mine will be up in a couple hours.

Had a fab time, and Justins family treated me as one of their own.

Look for my stuff around 7pm est.

-tired cat

 

[AnnDisneyFan]

good eye, Ann!

I take my "living vicariously through someone" VERY seriously apparently......

And since we know we can't be Justin, Tripp or David, who wouldn't want to be Cathie now. Thanks for being there for us Cat!

Very cool!!

I think I speak for everyone on here -- there can't be enough CMO photos on this thread -- we want them all!!!
