You can't see it from a guest's perspective. You have to work there to know where it is and even then, you can't really see it.

And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

Oh, that's too bad, they should've put it out a little so it could be seen. :(

As long as you know it is there. 8-) I think that is part of the whole thing, not knowing which "room" he is in.

After you get off the Haunted Mansion, in the Pet Cementary, There is a Mr. Toad Statue way in the back.
I know this is probably your first flight...and it's mine too...ha, ha

Rain upon that planet Earth. And they rain ... and rain ... and rain. The deluge.

On the Jungle Cruise, almost towards the end before you go back behind the falls, there are some natives dancing on the left of the boat. The man who designed the ride in WDW in the 70's when it opened apparently loved Disco! So one of the natives right in the middle of the jibberish yells "I love Disco"! We were told this on the Keys to the Kingdom tour, we had one boat and rode together with our tourguide telling us all sorts of hidden secrets along the way. (We rode Pirates as a group and Haunted Mansion as a group as well) I will give a full report on the Keys to the Kingdom tour on another post. It was amazing, I think I could write a book! But you have to ask a Jungle Cruise captain if they will let you hear the "disco" thing, they are told to talk through it so people can't hear it!

I must have great hearing because I heard it clear as day last week with the skipper talking.

Muppets 3D is a treasure trove of visual puns. Every time I go in I purposely hang in preshow area and look for new things. My top 2 things....

1) Notice the fishing net hanging with the blocks in it. The blocks are supposed to be Jell-o. So you are looking at a net full of Jell-o. The pun is if you say it fast enough...... Annette Funiciello!

2) There is a bird cage with a fish lying in it. You think...fish in a cage. Then think....caged in fish. Pun....Cajun fish.

Go look! :ccat:

It's gone. Hasn't been there since the refurb.
I thought it was still there, but moved. For some reason I thought it was nearer to the horseless carriage? I could be wrong, but that sticks in my head. I'm leaving for The World on Saturday, so I'll take a peek!

Only one gopher says FSU. The rest make funny noises and laughs on your right a little before you reach Brer Fox catching Brer Rabbit.

One that is always fun is the ghost of George on POTC. I always ask the CM's if they said goodnight George.

That's one of my favorite queues...I love the movie posters too!

I never did pick up on the Annette reference...thanks for pointing that out! :D
