Stupid Guest Tricks

Gladly!

Walk in under the train tunnel, go right around the flagpole (stay on the street) when you are on the opposite side of the flagpole from the train station, it is the 2nd store on the right. I think I have that correct.

Only if you have a time machine. It was moved to the corner shop (formerly the Camera Center) quite some few years back.

I would have screamed SO LOUD, enough to break the offender's eardrums and then I woulda smacked him. That is just so off the hook! Getting someone in the arm with a BURNING HOT EMBER would be enough for me to call security to make sure this guy was properly and officially chastised for being so ignorant to the people around him that he BURNED someone, then to give YOU a dirty look. Wow. Just wow. What a rude and unthinking self centered Prick! He likes burning things, he is gonna love it in Hell! :twisted:
Yeah, he would NOT have liked burning me.

The nurse...? Well, she needs to go through those Disney Way classes again as a refresher course.

Wow! If he had burned you the outcome would definitely have been different than it was with me LOL of course, that was back in what, 1991? I was a meeker, milder February back then. . . much meeker. It was before becoming a mother brought out my inner Mama Bear !

Being meek pretty much sucked lol

Awww, what a pity... I was just about to make a "Second store to the right, and straight on 'til Mmmmmmmmmm......" joke. :p:

Yeah when we 'stumbled" onto it we were expecting a clothing store (like MK and DLR) as DW was searching for the "perfect" WDW jacket. When we realized where we were, we forgot about buying clothing. Yep, even though we had some gift baskets in the room, we left with...enough that we could "skip" a dinner! plus got some great baked goods with the candy!!!

For a second I thought they were at Knott's, but then I remembered that Disney's shops are much prettier! And of course, there is the fact that this IS the Disney site.... What are those Mickey shaped goodies, they look like cakes covered in toasted coconut, the next to the last picture I think? Don't even know what they are, but I want one! Heck, I want one of everything, but please no hard or sour candy, and no candy apples, please! Gotta get to a dentist, my veneers are falling apart....

Here is a funny SG story involving the Confectionery.

As church lady mentioned, they are giant rice crispie treats. And they are really good. Using the ones shown in those beautiful pictures, this is one with a 1.5 pound chocolate medallion attached:



Notice the smiling Mickey on the chocolate medallion? The mold used for the rice crispies themselves has the same exact face, but because of the nature of rice crispies they don't pick up the face very well, just leaving a vague impression of a smile (incidentally, those ears are covered in white chocolate):



The smile is actually less visible in person than it appears in the photo. A few weeks ago I was working at the Cotton Candy registers (the ones in the fifth photo down in the diningindisney.com photos). From where a guest stands you can't really see the smile at all unless you know to look at it. A SG bought a plain one and as I was boxing it up she suddenly noticed the smile. She completely freaked, and I had to cancel the purchase. She said that it was one of the scariest things she had ever seen! I showed her the mold but it didn't matter, she ended up leaving the store without buying anything and she seemed quite disturbed by the whole experience. Since then I have carefully looked at the plain rice crispie heads several times, but I still can't see what she saw. Really, it was a very strange experience.

For the people looking for directions to the Confectionery, the stores in Main Street East are as follows:

Standing with the train station at your back, Main Street East is the right hand side of the street. The big building on your right is Expo Hall (photo pass, camera supplies, and Mickey shaped pasta), then Tony's Town Square Restaurant (not part of Main Street East), then a little open space, then the Chapeau (closed until the 18th of March while it is expanded to fill the space formerly occupied by DVC), then the Confectionery, then the Gallery, then Uptown Jewelers/Uptown Pins.

Here is where the confectionery is on the paper map, sorry for my sloppily drawn arrow:


For whatever reason, the paper map pretty much just has dining, not shopping.

Maybe she has a "thing" for eating something "with a face"? A co-worker is a hard core vegatarian (Veegan?) not sure the distinction, and its not important, but that is one of her "sayings" Or maybe she is just freaked out by something smiling back at her?

Acid flashback?

The Confectionery is impossible to miss I found. We went under the right side of the train station and the sign just stared me in the face. Cool place but I didn't buy anything, I just wasn't in the mood for sweets at the time and I have no room in my bags for anything.

Was there tonight - cotton candy of course.
