Wednesday Photo Challenge 2-22-12 Answer

February 23, 2012 By Daniel Hale

Wow! Here I am thinking I had you all beat. There I was,  expecting to come home from Disneyland yesterday to a silent Photo Challenge blog post, only to discover that EVERYBODY who pays any attention to me had an idea about the answer.

There is a decent-sized list of people who gave it a shot, but a rather short list of people who answered correct. I am impressed with the number of people who threw in their hats, and thank you all for participating in this week’s photo challenge.

A good number of you guessed Peter Pan’s Flight. So, a good number of you were incorrect.

Almost everybody who contacted me on Twitter guessed Peter Pan. In fact, only one person who contacted me on Twitter got it right <COUGH>Chadellliot</COUGH>.

I don’t think Peter Pan ever flew through the streets of London to nowhere in particular. He flew over London to Never, Never Land (not that anyone cares anymore, thanks to Steve Jobs and Tinkerbell).

I think the font of the sign told you Fantasyland and the word London made your conscious minds instantly go too that cool part of Peter Pan’s ride with Big Ben, and you went, “Ah ha! Peter Pan!” 

Sorry guys.

Another character in Fantasyland also makes his mark on London:

Mr. Toad

The answer to this Photo Challenge is: Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride

Don’t feel bad.  Peter Pan is probably what I would have guessed too, being pretty unfamiliar with Mr. Toad.

Did he have his own movie or what? I’ll have to Google that later.

When I was a kid, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride was my favorite ride in Fantasyland (after Peter Pan’s Flight that is), even though I have never seen nor heard of the movie or TV show with Mr. Toad in it.

I think that, of the kiddie attractions in Disneyland, it’s among the most exciting for kids. Still pretty fun for grownups too. 🙂

Now, a couple of you tried to ride the middle of the fence and answered something like, “It’s either Peter Pan or Mr. Toad”. Only one of them is right, which means those of you who used this answer <COUGH>AlisonandAshley</COUGH> are wrong. You gotta pick one, friends. 😉

Those who hit the nail square on the head are:

  • Eric
  • Rob
  • Chad Elliot
  • Kayla
  • Lillian Tadamichi
  • Kevin Healy
  • Elsie Barker
  • Shannon
  • Lyndsey
  • Alex Hein

Thanks for playing. This one got a lot of attention, and I have a new one lined up, so when you’re in the Disneyland Resort (Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney and all of the Disney hotels), keep your eyes peeled and take in everything!

Don’t forget to come back on Monday for a new Magical Monday Audio Challenge! Bye for now! 😀

Wednesday Photo Challenge 2-22-12

February 22, 2012 By Daniel Hale

Hello again! Welcome to another DisGeek Wednesday Photo Challenge!

By now you’ve glanced down at the photo and you’re thinking “Hey! That’s not a photo! That’s just some text!

Wrong! It’s an extreme closeup I took of a sign outside of an attraction. You know, the kind that tells you if you have a bad back or whatever, you have no business on the attraction?

Now… I fully expect you to be totally flummoxed by this. I expect absolute silence on this page all day today. I’m so sure that this one will defeat you all, that I’m not even going to check my e-mail today. I’m going to Disneyland Resort to get more pictures to stump you with, and to capture more audio clips to make you feel that Disneyness, but also make you pull your hair out trying to guess where or what it is!!

Muahahaha!! 😀 I LOVE IT!!

So look at the picture and if you have the chops, tell me:

What Disneyland Resort attraction is this sign referring to?

Photo Challenge 2-22-12

Yeah. You have no idea, do you?

I’m betting only 2 of you even bother with this challenge (and your names are Ashley and Alison)! 😉

I will laugh at you, and imagine you slapping your forehead tomorrow when I give you the answer! >:D

Always keep in mind that “Disneyland Resort” means the whole resort: Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, Downtown Disney, The Disneyland Hotel, Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa.

If you know the answer to this one, or you think you know, all you have to do is drop me a line. You can do this by:

Leaving a comment here (the recommended, simple way)

Send me a direct message on Twitter (@disgeekpaul)

or drop me an e-mail: paul@disgeek.com.

I’ll keep your answers hidden so that more people can guess, therefore YOU will be able to see your answer, but no one else will.

Tomorrow morning I’ll post the names of players who guessed correctly and reveal a new photo with the correct answer.

Have a great magical, and happy Humpday!

Monday Magic Audio Challenge #1 Answer

When I said I’d start you off with something easy, I honestly didn’t know it was that easy. I was warned. Daniel said that this first challenge was way too easy. But what do I know?

Anyway… everyone, and I mean everyone, who guessed was correct one way or another. I also think it’s a stretch to say that anybody “guessed”. You all answered with such swift and hard certainty. Some of you even loled at me!

Unlike the Photo Challenge where there is one correct answer, there will be times (like this one) in the Audio Challenge where more than one answer is correct. So if you answered: Splash Mountain or The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh or “The Winnie the Pooh Ride” (or any variation thereof) you were correct.

Those of you who answered Critter Country are very correct. Lol!

To capture this sound clip, I walked into Critter Country, past Splash Mountain, under the overpass for the Disneyland Railroad and then all the way to the back where you can hear the tail-end of  The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh.

As I said, NOBODY got this wrong, and I believe because so many knew without a doubt where this clip came from, our first Audio Challenge has already surpassed the Photo Challenge in the number of participants!

So thank you to all of the winners:

  • Rob
  • Robert Erickson
  • Melissa
  • LiLeopard 
  • Kent Williams 
  • Angie
  • Lillian Tadamichi 
  • Ashley Hodgson
  • Chad Elliott
  • Lyndsey
  • Becca Lovato Hart
  • rosannaring 
  • Chris Carpenter
  • Bunnyaimee
  • ComeCorrect1714
  • 1DizFanatic
  • Rowena Ebba
  • Rebecca Fernandez

Don’t get cocky though. This was just a warm up. It won’t be as easy next time. So if you happen to visit DLR before next Monday, keep your ears wide open.

Thank you all for participating ! I hope to see you all on the Wednesday Photo Challenge, and then next Monday for Audio Challenge #2 which I promise won’t be as big a cakewalk as this one was!

On the weekend we had an opportunity to visit Disneyland and enjoy the New Orleans Bayou Blast which was filled with lively excitement, jazzy music, street performers and the sensational food of New Orleans.

I was front and (almost) center when Tiana’s Mardi Gras Procession,  featuring Princess Tiana, Louis and Naveen, kicked off. I was able to snap some photos and capture full audio of this vibrant, musical performance in the streets of New Orleans Square and the Rivers of America.

It’s a fun show, so take a couple minutes to give it a listen and enjoy our photos of this lively event, which only occurs during the Mardi Gras celebration at Disneyland! 😀
