stefa70 205 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I agree that building looks "under used" but you really can't help but smile when you meet Mickey.Great photo of all the girls with him.Does Anna ever get scared of the characters? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are a few things she's scared of in life, but giant creatures are not one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I would just like to applaud FortFiends.Net and it's supporters for not being a bunch of Kool-Aid drinking A-Holes. Other, lesser forums would never tolerate an individual rating a Disney attraction as "sucking monkey butt." If anyone be so foolish as to suggest such a thing they would immediately be flamed and possibly accused of actually sucking monkey butt themselves...literally.So here's to you, Mr. and Mrs. non kool-aid drinking A-holes. :bellringer:Until now, I had figured that the first thing out of Walt's mouth after they thaw his head would be "Hey you idiots, close that gate. I don't want guests back there". Now I'm convinced that will be the second thing out of his formerly frozen lips. The first will be "Fire that idiot bus driver". :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 About 6 years ago or so. when the BBB was first Opened in Cindy's Castle our DD got the works done and it included pictures they sent us down there and it was set up as a photo studio. I don't think thats what it was originally used for. Maybe somebody else knows what it was originally used for or maybe it was always intended to be used as a multi purpose building. I'm not sure if its the same building but I think it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 They had a small theater in the back which showed old Disney Cartoons, as well as having the BBB photo area. They also had in the back of the theater an area with cutouts you could pose with to take a picture. I have some pics of the area around here somewhere. I will try and load them up to post.

Show them Anna's joy at being with her forever family.God bless your beautiful family!Thanks Marty! We SHOULD send some pics to the Russians...actually, every year when we do a home visit for them I have to provide 5 photos to show how Anna is doing, and I always pick photos where she is surrounded by family and friends. Which is quite often. My little way of saying "see, you jackwagons!". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing it's the spiral sliced kind?No, I just bought a cheap semi boneless ham....I think it was a butt portion, but you can use a shank or a picnic. Doesn't really matter as it will just fall apart. You don't need to add liquid, as you are adding 2 cups of brown sugar which will liquify along with the ham juices.

And thanks for posting the photos of all the props from the queue, Dave.We have not met Mickey in his new location, and I didn't know about all the props on display in the queue.I didn't realize there was so much unused space in this building.It's too bad all the cool stuff that used to be on display here is gone. I would really like to see it.I wonder if that mural is still there?TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CKCK 45 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I have some advice for Disney. If you don't want the public taking pictures back there, DON'T LET THEM WALK BACK THERE!! Wow, that would be simple. I do not believe that Walt would approve of letting guests get so much as a peek of a backstage area, much less use it to funnel guests out of the park! Sure, I appreciated the speedy bypass of Main Street during a very busy parade time. But there certainly was something un-magical about it, and I frankly regretted that we had gone that way.In any case, in very short order, we found ourselves coming out next to Tony's Town Square restaurant, and were prepared to exit the park and head to the boat. Only, that's not what we did.We found that path on our last trip there. DW had read about it somewhere. I didn't mind the "unmagical" aspect of it, because as a disliker of people, I would much rather take that route rather than fight all of the crazies down mainstreet after Wishes. Of course, I didn't try to take any pictures, because I am a rule follower...Okay, it's actually just because when given a path to be the crowds, I'm going to frickin' beat the crowds, so there was no wasting time taking pics for me!
