Wednesday Photo Challenge 2-29-12 Answer

March 1, 2012 By Daniel Hale

11 participants, 11 correct answers. Probably would have been more if I had remembered to tweet the challenge. :/

I mean, clearly I overestimated the toughness of that picture. I expected silence or for at least one of you to say “Big Thunder”, but no. You guys know the illiterate scrawl of Brer Rabbit and his backwoods buddies when you see it.

I think I need to raise the level of difficulty of the photo challenge. When you see e-mail domain names like sorcerertink, and daysinthepark you figure out pretty fast that you’re not dealing with featherweight jobbers here.

Yes. The attraction I’m about to get a Fastpass for is:

Splash Mountain

Splash Mountain is one of those rides that I really like, but rarely go on.

I usually wear denim jeans. When denim jeans get wet… I’ll just use the word chafe, and let you fill in the blanks.

The last time I got on a water-ride with jeans on was years ago in Orlando. I figured, hey, it’s hot enough. It’ll dry fast.  I didn’t factor in the %$@#! humidity!

My wife (girlfriend at the time) also mostly wears jeans, and she made the same mistake in Orlando, thinking the same thing I did. The chafing torture was so bad for her that she went and bought new sweatpants and changed into them immediately.

Anyway… You all did great! Thank’s for taking a minute to play my little game!

This week’s winners are:

  • Angie Howatt
  • Chad Elliott
  • Kevin Healy
  • Rob
  • Elizabeth
  • Kayla
  • Lyndsey
  • Alex Hein
  • Robert Erickson
  • Alison Hodgson
  • Ashley Hodgson
I had you Hodgson ladies on the ropes for a minute there, but you came back swinging, didn’t you?

It won’t be so easy next time.

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! 😀
