Curiously, this li'l guy was pretty lonely. Few people lining up for pictures.

A woman came up and asked me "Who is that?" I was tempted to say "It's the Mother Abbess, from 'The Sound of Music,'" but bit my tongue. :p "It's one of the penguins from 'Mary Poppins,'" I explained. She looked at me blankly, as if to say, "What penguins? There were penguins in Mary Poppins?. :joker:
 
I remember the days long ago when Mr. Penguin was in Fantasyland with Mary Poppins and Bert... Those were the days!

Just found this and scanned it: the two of us having coffee together early one morning in Disneyland. January 2002. :banana:

amazing! Mr penguin hasn't aged a day :teeth:
 
This is so exciting! One of my friends from work is going to Disney World at the end of September. She has been asking me where she can find this guy and Figment. I was worried she may not be able to see either, as I haven't seen them since I was very young. But now there is proof he does exsist!

Heh. Yeah, but we've both packed on a pound or two.

For him, it's too much herring.

For me, Krispy Kreme donuts. :rolleyes:

Around 10:30 on a Sunday morning, we were exiting the "Honey I Shrunk the Audience" show at Epcot, and there he was. (I didn't get a picture with him because, frankly, I just didn't care...)

:rotfl2: too funny!

Thanks for the tips on where to find them!
 
Here is another shot of Mr. Penguin. I took it last fall. He was in the world showcase right by the American Adventure. No one was waiting to see him or PJ.
