Quirky Secrets of WDW

I almost forgot about this one. It has to do with Buzz Lightyear ride: In the very last room where you are still able to shoot, look forward at the top left corner, there's a planet with Mickey on it. The planet is blue, if that helps any. You can shoot this to gain points. A lot of people don't know about this, it gives you an extra edge!

Cool! I'll have to remember that; my wife always beats me at that game!

I always find myself better at Toy Story Mania then Buzz Lightyear.

Wow thanks a lot! I had no idea about this. The only thing that I knew about this attraction was the hidden mickey in the ride queue.

OLD THREAD ALERT!!!

I was reading up on George of the PoTC today and I said aloud that I did not believe in George... I kid you not. EVERYTHING has gone wrong this afternoon only 30 minutes after I said it. I guess he reaches well beyond the ride!

Brave person to talk badly about George.

I have to agree with you. The curse of George is real. It exists and most the CM's working the attraction know all about it. Next time you go on the attraction, ask the CM loading the boats if they said goodnight to George.

Speak bad of George and bad things happen. They still say goodnight to George every night before closing. If not . . . then who knows.

mindflipper - I know, but I just learned about the legend of George yesterday, after 30 years of going to the parks and then everything fell apart afterward. So, I thought it would be fun to blame him.

And it's a way to revive an old thread. I was told that was my job as a newbie.

More like Disney movie reference (it starred Brendan Fraser as George).

During the day as you go from resort to resort or to different parks the music changes to include the theme of where you are heading. At night the music is soft and kind of jazzy to help people unwind. I just never noticed this before and thought id share

We love this, Dd listens for figment music on the way to Epcot. I never paid attention at night. The bus is always so crowded but now I will try to pick out a tune.
