Where do you think the Buzzy animatronic is?
Can’t wait to see that.
I’ve NEVER heard about this buzzy thing. Wow
What a video title
Jenny Nicholson probably off somewhere feeling plagurized lol
MYLO, SON OF JAO.
Oh Disney… reminds me of Yogurt from Spaceballs… merchandizing merchandizing merchandizing! I mean to hell with actually doing anything to celebrate in the park, just sell a shitload of merchandise.
Well, that was a tantalizingly cryptic remark there at 8:05, Tom. Should we expect to see Buzzy in the WDWNT Museum sometime soon? ;P
I have to say Disney produced some of the cutest bird characters. I love the orange bird and have that Chuuby plush that flaps its wings when you squeeze, even though the ride is just okay lol
For Disney, truth will always be stranger than fiction
And not a single white guy in any of those epcot promo photos. Why am I not surprised.
Curious about that movie, can't seem to find any information about what it's really about though. Best I can find "all the outrageous hi-jinks that have ensued at Walt Disney World Resort" and of course the stolen animatronic, but what hijinks? theft of my wages? loss of time spent in line? food missing from my plates?
speaking of Buzzy. did anyone else see the Lopez brothers at d23?
What is the story about buzzy?
Once it's finish, Where do you go and hear or watch it? 6:53
The “little ray of tiki sunshine” product is a bit annoying to me. Earlier this year we were told that we could not enjoy our dole whips inside the tiki room. I assumed that this was due to some face mask policy, despite eating, only half of the people inside weren’t wearing them, and were never instructed to do so.
We started doing this when we first learned that we could eat them during the show, and honestly despite so many visits, might’ve never have tried seeing the show, had it not been for this fun park hack. It was also annoying because they wouldn’t even let us wait for the next show. I assumed it was due to fears of being trampled on, tripping hazard, or simply because they did not want anyone waiting in the very middle, but that is EXACTLY what everyone else did, as we watched further away, near the turn stile. No one told them that they needed to move up or couldn’t sit (something else we also were told we could not do) 😡
I had been to The Wonders of Life pavilion so many times, and on NYE 2005, FINALLY seeing Cranium Command for the very first time. I remember it being good, but also wondered why I never saw it before, I saw The Making of Me practically every visit. In fact, the last time I saw it, a cast member literally said that the line to see Making of Me was the busiest she had ever seen. Made me wonder why such a busy pavilion had to close in the first place. They lost a lot of attractions with that closure.
To celebrate EPCOT's 40th anniversary, Disney is not refurbishing or restoring any classic attractions or shows. I'd cry, but I used up my tears for Splash Mountain.
The documentary movie is about a Buzzy animatronic that was stolen by Patrick Spikes.
considering the sheer number of sting operations revealing Disney employees, I bet Buzzy is still there somewhere in the bowls of Disney being used to train more of the 'extra special' employees
Hey Tom hopefully 🙏 everyone in the family is doing well.
RIP Buzzy, at least for now.
This Buzzy story is so bizarre. If I remember correctly, Disney was having a lot of theft issues back then. Some Peter Pan ride car sails and even Haunted Mansion costumes stolen. I hope the “Jackass” producers can be serious (enough) to do a good job on this film.
When I rode the safari last Saturday, we were able to see Mylo and his mom.
Tom, Get some rest. We can see you're pain in the eyes
Stolen Kingdom ought to be good if the script is good…. And true…
So when is WDWNT taking a tour group to Tokyo?
No shots ever. Crap needs to end
When I went to Japan in February 2020, I had no idea that a few weeks later it would close to tourists and wouldn't reopen for over 2.5 years. So crazy and such a weird time that I'm glad seems to be fully going back to normal.
Loved Cranium Command! "Real stress versus perceived stress?" used to run through my mind a lot when I was still working lol
Spill the tea, Tom! What do you know about Buzzy?
Why is Disney so bad at designing shirts for men
