onadraw 1 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 We were at the Fort Monday and Tuesday night. Magic Kingdom on Tuesday. Here are a few pics: DS and SWMBO at our campsite, 2065 Obligatory Castle shot Main Street DS meeting Tinkerbell. He didn't buy it because he thought she would be So much smaller. Is this a Hidden Fiend at Its a Small World? Haunted Mansion Chip N Dale !st time we'd seen the Light Show on the lake. DS in the Meadows Pool We had a great time at the Fort. Too bad we could only be there a couple days for this trip. Planning to go back at the end of September. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.....Gary 85 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Great pics! I'm sure Lou will want his own picture of the octopus. Does any one besides me think it looks like Tink is still wearing her house slippers?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I was surprised they have a Tinker Bell meet and greet. She is supposed to be tiny! Glad you had a good time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm surprised with the incredible theming they have in that old restaurant you didn't catch the fact that you were shrinking. J/K- that is something with which they could do a much better job. Thanks for sharing the photos, Onadraw- it looks like you had a great time! TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
onadraw 1 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I will say that Tink was really good at playing her part though. My son is Very shy about meeting new people/characters. He wouldn't go anywhere near Micky/Minnie but Tink walked right up to him, took his hand and started talking to him in character. He actually did like this meeting very much even though he didn't understand why she was so tall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for sharing the photos, Onadraw- it looks like you had a great time! TCD When they first introduced Tink as a meet and greet, they did a great job of actually shrinking you. The group that was to meet them next went into a room together behind a closed door where they shrunk everyone together at the same time and then you went into Pixie Hollow the size of a fairy. The old meet and greet was at the Toon Town Fair building and when you walked back around out the long winding hallway you were told that you would slowly grow back to your normal size so that by the time you entered the gift shop everyone in your party would be normal again. Now no one says anything to you at all. There is a sparkle of pixie dust now on the entrance way that is supposed to be what shrinks you. When they first moved over to the restaurant you stood behind the "blueberry line" (blue tiles in the floor right before the entrance to the meet and greet area) and then you were told that when you stepped around the corner through the pixie dust and into Pixie Hollow you would be shrunk down to Tink's size. The last few times we have been there the only thing that remains of that story is STAY BEHIND THE BLUEBERRY LINE! It's a shame. Words don't cost any money and telling the story would increase the attraction, but they didn't ask me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But, I was lucky that the TCD girls had a few years where they thought meeting characters was uncool and a waste of time, and I was able to never have to visit the original Pixie Hollow. We have been to the new place to see them a couple of times. I never heard of the Bluebery Line, and nobody told me that we were shrinking. I never noticed the strobe lights. It's probably for the best, I most likely would have gotten out of line. I wouldn't trust the shrinking/unshrinking technology. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
