"We Ain't From Around Here!"-The South Does Disney! A Dec PTR Update 1/11-Prizes!

[Nermel9]

I just commented on your list! I'm glad you liked that idea!

I did, it got me thinking about which attractions I've really never done, because I thought a lot of them I did when I was younger but just don't remember! So like a dork, I got out my Passporter and wrote out a list!

It's fun to make lists of things like that! It definitely helps pass the time until your trip! And if that makes you a dork, then I must be a lame-oid chicken sandwich (Full House reference! Gotta love em!) because I am doing stuff like this all the time!

Hi everyone! I hope you are all planning a fun filled 4th of July celebration for tomorrow! We are going to my parents' house for steaks and BBQ ribs! YUMMY!

Anyway, I've been thinking about ways to make my PTR fun and entertaining so nobody gets bored before December. I have noticed on a few other PTRs that people play games sometimes. I really loved that idea and I decided I wanted to try having a game on mine!

I'm going to call it...

THE WAITING GAME

I am going to take a stab in the dark here and assume that a lot of my trip in December is going to be waiting in line for rides, since it is the busiest time of the year to go. I figured I might as well have some fun with that concept, so I came up with The Waiting Game!

Here's how it's going to work:

Every Saturday I am going to post a picture of a Wait Times sign for a ride or attraction somewhere in WDW. I'm going to do this at random times of the day, and I'm never going to give any warning before I do it. However, I will change my title when I post the new picture. I am only going to do this on Saturdays because I figure that is the best chance I have of everyone being able to use the computer and getting a fair chance.

The first person to accurately guess which ride or attraction the sign is for will get one point. Please don't PM your answer to me, just post it as a reply here on my thread. You only get ONE guess, so don't post multiple answers please! If you do I will only count your first answer. This means that if you get it right but you're not the first person to answer, you get no points. Sorry guys, this is the only way I could come up with to keep it fair!

After I see that someone has accurately guessed, I will post the updated scoresheet.

At the end of the game (which will be the last Saturday before I leave if this works out) the person with the most points will be the winner! The winner will receive a very special surprise from me on my trip. I'm not going to tell you what it will be, but I will tell you it will be awesome! (Just be aware that you have to be willing to share your mailing address with me in a PM to receive the prize. If you're not comfortable with that I totally understand, but the prize will not be able to get to you! )

There are the rules for The Waiting Game! What do you guys think? Does it sound like fun? I am going to start the game with the first picture sometime this evening, so be on the lookout!

yay I love it!!!!!

 

[therussells08]

yay I love it!!!!!

Thanks! I thought it might be fun! I am going to post the first round in just a little bit, so stay tuned!

 

[therussells08]

The time has come for Round 1 of The Waiting Game! If you're not entirely clear on the rules, please review them in the post I made earlier today. Good luck everyone!

I'm going to start off with a fairly easy one. Remember, you have to be the FIRST person to answer correctly to get the point! Only one guess per person!

Please name the ride or attraction with this wait time sign:

Any guesses?

 

[DisneyFirefly]

I'm gonna guess Pirates of the Caribbean?

 

[camsmomE]

Haunted mansion?

 

[camsmomE]

nope, you're right... Pirates!

 

[DisneyFirefly]

nope, you're right... Pirates!

I was sort of looking at the architecture as well as the sign, and I'm like "...that looks like the front of Pirates... I think."

 

[camsmomE]

My mind went to haunted mansion because scroll work creeps me out!

 

[DisneyFirefly]

That's what actually caught my eye! Part of the motif of the scrollwork and wallpaper at the Mansion is eyes. There are eyes all over it, to make it look like someone's always watching you. It's pretty cool if you think about it

 

[camsmomE]

Thanks! I now officially have the heebie jeebies!

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Sorry That's just my favorite ride

 

[therussells08]

We have a winner for round one, everyone! The correct answer was Pirates of the Caribbean! Good job, DisneyFirefly! Thank you for playing, camsmomE!

Scoresheet

I will be posting Round 2 sometime next Saturday so be on the lookout! This will keep going every week until the day before I leave for my trip! And don't forget, the winner will receive a very special surprise from me during my trip! Thanks for playing!


What do you guys think? Did you think it was fun enough to do every week?

Yay, I was right! I think it was fun It's definitely a challenge, depending on the signage

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! I've got a bunch of sign pictures saved, and some of them are pretty hard!

Good job on getting the first one right!
