BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 So I'm still trying to find a new favorite WDW radio station on Live 365 and this afternoon I'm trying out "Listen to the Magic". It's... ok so far. The jury is still out.However something just came on that I'd never heard before. It's the Country Bears Christmas from MK. Not sure what year, but I know they haven't done this for a while.Anyway, almost right at the start "Melvin" starts talking. Now I've never been to the HDDR, and I've never seen the Country Bears Christmas show in person, but almost immediately I suspected who this was.I did a little googling, and sure enough, this is a character called "Melvin the Moose"!So.... is this the same notorious Melvin hiding out either over Lou's mantle or in a closet in the back of Pioneer Hall (jury is still out on that one too)?

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 You do know that there is a Melvin hanging on the wall at the Country Bear Jamboree to this day, right? And he talks to the audience.I am not sure how this was supposed to work but the brochures for the Melvin the Moose breakfast show said that this was Melvin from the Country Bears Jamboree.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Honestly, I've been to CBJ exactly once in the last 20 years and I didn't even notice. So... were people supposed to believe that there was a body and legs behind the wall and that Melvin actually walked back and forth between the 2 shows? :hah: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So... were people supposed to believe that there was a body and legs behind the wall and that Melvin actually walked back and forth between the 2 shows? :hah:You need to fix that on your next visit.Melvin, Buff, and Buck, I believe his name is, are the severed heads of a Moose, Buffalo and Deer that are up on the wall in the Country Bear Jamboree. They are an integral part of the show.I really don't know how it can be explained that Melvin was hanging on the wall for breakfast at Pioneer Hall, and then he was up on the wall in the CBL later in the day.When you think about it, this whole thing is a bit morbid.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Don't forget, It's "DISNEY MAGIC"....Right.... ...or maybe they put him on a raft and floated him over to the Fort the same way they take the riverboat out for refurb.And yes, now I'm going to have to make a point of seeing CBJ next trip!

Lou... 3,118 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 And don't forget that there is a third side to the "Where's Melvin: story.Dave seems to think that he kidnapped Melvin and brought him to TN.All I know is that there are two Melvin impostors. mouseketab.....Carol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 All I know is that there are two Melvin impostors.Don't forget he's at CBJ in Disneyland too! Boy does he move around quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 There's really only one answer, since logically there can't possibly be more than one actual Melvin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuc71 162 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Monique, I am shocked with you up on all Disney things that you did not know Melvin was hanging at the country bear jamboree. I guess we all learn something new every day. You will have to check him out next time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I know, right? I will definitely pay more attention next time. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Total Joker ... TJ 203 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 There use to be another "set" of Melvin, Buff, and Buck just outside the exit of the CBJ. They were between the CBJ exit and Pecos Bill's. Been a long time ago before they remodeled Pecos Bill's the first time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I listed to "Magic Radio" again with DD today and they played mostly ride sound, queue music, and music from shops/restaurants. It wasn't bad Mo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Thanks Aaron - gonna give it a go on Monday. Mostly what I've found so far on other stations is just snippets of ride audio that abruptly cuts off (sigh) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
