A bit of Toad in EPCOT

[PeeplMoovr]

Looked for this on the forums, but didn't see anything about it -

I was in EPCOT sometime last week and noticed a "Winky" car from Mr. Toad in World Showcase in EPCOT. Here's a pic.
Another tribute to the Toad found throughout WDW...

AH AH AHHHHHHHHH!

Sorry. That image brought back a bad memory. I was scared of Toad, but then again when I went on the ride, I was real young, and seeing the car careen towards the walls or whatever, I nearly had a heart attack each time that happened.

Where was this at? Looked like something for the Food and Wine Festival setup

Wow, that's a good photo. Wherabout in Epcot?

Last year, Kitchen Kabaret came back to Epcot in the KITCHEN KARNAVALE. (Was it really a year ago?!?!?!?!?!?!?) I guess its success heralds the "return" of another extinct attraction. . .

If I remember correctly it was set up between the UK and Canada, outside the World Showcase Events Pavilion, which I think was hosting some sort of pin trade thingy.

I want one for my family room. Only I want a Moley Car. What is the paper taped to the front, do you know?

Thanks for posting,

The pin deal was the Family Gathering of Pins (FYI if you were wondering)

The paper was one of Grizz's "Save the Land" posters. :lol:

Just kidding.

That paper said something about the pin trade thingy. Around the car was, I believe, a Goofy topiary. It was a nice little display. Not sure if it's still there or not.

Its certainly nice to know that they weren't melted down for trash cans or something !

There is also one on display in Exposition Hall at the MK. It's way in the back, past the movie theatre area. I got to sit in it this past weekend -- brought back lots of memories!

You should have jumped into the car and taken off down the road at full throttle. After all, that is definitely what Mr. Toad would have done!

Moley rules, but "Badger" is a good one, too!

BTW, Toad LIVES at Disneyland!

My affection of the Moley car must because I have a photo of us in one as a kid.

This was taken in the mid 1970s with myself and my younger sister.

Wow...that's a really old one. Didn't they update the cars? When I remember riding it, I was pretty sure the cars had 2 rows in them.

I thought the WDW ones were 1 row and the Disneyland cars were 2. Someone may correct me on that though, but this was taken in WDW.
