Thanks! My wife is quite the decorator.
I agree about the white space. How about a picture of one of the castle's decorated for the current season?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
Seriously, how can you look at that and not see a tremendous, creative, humorous and expensive way to celebrate the 25th. It was only going to be there for about a year and then be gone, why not appreciate it for the creative work of art that it is instead of always laughing at it. This isn't the Capital Building it is a prop at a theme park. It was in the spirit of fun and celebration absolutely correct and appropriate.delsdad wrote:

I get so tired of hearing about how it decimated the Castle...the Castle is a prop as well. There is no Cinderella in case some haven't been keeping track and just like the Castle itself it is just a hunk of plastic, except this one required some imagination to design and I'm sure more than just a little cahonnas to convince management to spend that much on a one year celebration. All the negative feedback has only served to insure that NOTHING new will ever be tried again.

I was trying to get the drool emoticon, but whenever I clicked on the more smileys link, the smile page would freeze, I'd get a not responding message, and then it would say IE had to close and reopen the page to clear up the problem with the webpage.
But that castle looks soooo delicious! My mouth is watering looking at that! I know, it's only plastic, but still....!
Yeah, that would work--seasonally decorated Sleeping Beauty Castle!
From my research on the Cinderella phenomenon, it's the most widely adapted--and oldest--fairy tale in existance. I may have posted about it recently, with a link. Possibly it did involve real people originally. Fairy tales were originally old wives' tales, warnings and info passed on from the oldest women to young girls about the perils of childbearing and life in a male dominated society. It was like code, or a metaphor. Similar to the former practice of uneducated Chinese women peeking into school windows where the boys were being educated, getting the drift of how the Chinese language worked, then creating their own written language to keep their private messages to one another secret, unreadable by the men. The last of these women died a number of years ago.

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
Its a world of laughter, a world of tears, it's a world of hopes and a world of fears ... there's so much that we share, that it's time we're aware, it's a small world after all.WEDFan wrote:No! No! Anything but that!

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
When I was in elementary school we had a concert which used Small World as a framing mechanism for the program. We did songs from all around the world. I even played an astronaut that introduced the whole thing. Then we sand It's A Small World. I still know the lyrics. As a classic ride my wife and I will always take first timers on the ride. Seeing you respond with the lyrics (having picked up on the Lion King reference) you put a smile on my face.hhsrat wrote:Its a world of laughter, a world of tears, it's a world of hopes and a world of fears ... there's so much that we share, that it's time we're aware, it's a small world after all.
Having said all that I can only say,
No! No! Anything but that!

Well, yes, I was picking up on the Lion King reference, but technically, the correct response should have been "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts"WEDFan wrote:When I was in elementary school we had a concert which used Small World as a framing mechanism for the program.
