Getting the call :)

Yup it's so exciting. I actually started collecting pins for pin trading today (I noticed they have official pin trading pins in 8 packs of Energiser batteries! I guess they've been out since before christmas!) So now I have 5 pins... but 40 AA batteries lol.

 

LOL!

 

I did the same thing. lol

 

You bought 40 batteries, or started laughing at my "collection" (and I don't mean the pins) lol

 

haha Jorden dont worry. I wanted to buy them but by the time I had money they were sold out! *cry* but my friend at work was super sweet and gave me one of hers
The best one of the Parade of Dreams float!

 

Oh ahah, little bit of both. Yah, I bought 40batteries. Well, I made my mother buy me 40batteries, fortunatly she understood the urgency of the situation.

 

I am SOOOO going to London Drugs FIRST THING TOMORROW! I thought they were done selling those! *yay*

 

Demand pins!! Don't leave without them. And pick up a box of Mickey Kleenex while you're at it!

 

Check Toys R Us and Shoppers Drug mart! Thats where I got mine (I found 4 at work and had to go to Shoppers for Cinderellabration).

I was lucky and my mom needed some AA's so she bought 16 off me which was nice . Only downside for her is she decided SHE wanted some of the pins (Remember Dreams Come True, Parade of Dreams, and Happiest Celebration on Earth).

Ah well the way I look at it anyway is the pack of batteries with the pins are cheaper than the pins at the park, so I bought cheap pins and got bonus batteries lol

 

wow thats so exciting I had no idea you could buy pins with batteries!!! So you guys are saying Shoppers Drug Mart and places like that I could go and they'd have them?!?! That's so awesome i'm going as soon as I can!! ;D

 

Yeah you should check because they've been out since before Christmas. Essentially it's a regular 8-Pack of Energiser Batteries with the pin in the pack (you can see it in front of batteries).

5 pins

Parade of deams (first float from the parade)
Remember Dreams come True (Tinkerbell and sleeping beauty castle)
Happiest Celebration on Eather (Mickey and Minnie with the earth between them)
Sorin' (Goofy hangliding at Epcot)
Cinderellabration (Cinderella and Cinderella castle)

 

Soarin ??? COOL COOL COOL!

Okay so I'm heading out to Shoppers and Toys R Us? Sounds like a plan!

 

i'm so excited to start collecting them!! lol Shoppers Drug Mart and Toys R Us are getting visits from me VERY soon! ;D

 

Well thats where I got mine anyway (Red Deer Alberta).

Sorin' = Sorin' Over California depending on what park you're in.

just be warned your stores may not have them anymore...

 

I know, I hate how it's just called Soarin' in Epcot...it's wierd they changed the name to that but none of the other attractions they brought in from other parks

 

Thats quite true... although most people probably just call it sorin anyway, and the fact that it's not in California Adventurs makes sorin a bit more fitting name I think anyway.

Although it's not like it really matters too much lol.

 

Rumours have been going around for ages that the reason it's called Soarin' is because they're eventually going to make an "over Florida" video...

It's still rumour, obviously, but it sure would be nice to go Soarin' over Florida

That's just according to the internet, of course, could be total crappage...

Also, not all attractions that are cloned between parks keep the same name. Case in point: Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin is Buzz Lightyear's Astroblasters at Disneyland, I believe...

*nods*
KC, him who knows stuff aboot them thar attractions.

 

oooooooooooooh aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Kevvie-poo you know so much!
Thats funny you should say, just last night my mommy and I were chatting about how we want them to do Soarin' over lots of other places!

 

Soarin' over....Botswana, but no, that'd be cool.

 

Congrats to all of you guys...I'm in Attractions/Operations but not going down until June 11th....if any of you can add me to your MSN, it's shoots_scores@hotmail.com that would be great - then when you get down there in mid-late May you can let me know what you wish you had brought with you 8)
