Epcot Easy Trivia

[DisneyCP2000]

Exactly!

Here's an easy one for sure! Where can you find flamingo's in Epcot?

 

[Lhriangel]

That is easy. Thats in the little lake thing between Odyssey and Mexico I think.

 

[DisneyCP2000]

Woohoo Angelique, the flamingos are right by the odyssey & Mexico.

Next one...hmmmm...What are the two groups that sing at the American Adventure?

Maria and Juan are right... I wish I had gotten here sooner, I would have known that. Oh well, let me try a question.

During the Candelight Processional, how many Christmas tress are on stage at any given time during the show?

Think carefully on that one.

150th Post!!!:sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

 

[DisneyCP2000]

I would have to say three. One one each end of the stage, plus the one that is created by the cast members in the center of the stage. I remember there's fellow who's at the top of the tree that had to wear ENOURMOUS collar (Star at the top of the tree) that lit up at the end of every performance, quite funny

After seeing/working almost EVERY perfomance I should have the stage setting "engraved" in my head by now. All my memories of working there are just flooding back now.

Oh yeah,

MERRY

CHRISTMAS!!


(It's a bit early but hey, why not?)

 

[Maria]

LOL! I knew there was one formed by the cast members but couldn´t remember how many more there were on stage! :brick:

One of my friends -a very tall guy- was the top of the tree and we gave him such a hard time! We had no idea that he was singing one night, and the rest of us were working there, so imagine our faces when we saw him walk on stage with that on him! hilarious! :animwink:

Merry Christmas to you too!! (where is the Xmas smiley? hehe)
:wave:

I think that it is more than three I think that there is 1 tree in each window were the trumpeters play and the Cast members make another one so I think it is 7 Christmas Trees.

Maria youre right!

But you worked the SHOW? That is so cool. I was part of the guest choir over the past four years. Actually, I remember a CM named Maria. Okay EVERYBODY!...

...It's a Small World After All!...

(Sorry)

Oh, and just a little FYI. If the costume department was missing a robe from the guest choirs... It was me

 

[Maria]

I worked at the show during 98 and maybe once in 99. Most of the times in charge of the priority seating and guests with dissabilities area. I loved that! I knew the show by heart and couldn´t help but cry almost all the times at the Halleluyah! It was very touching to see all that crowd stand up then. I´m typing this and my eyes are getting wet! :animwink:

 

[DisneyCP2000]

I was posted at the "top of Japan." All the priority seating guests were on this side of the theater and all of the standby guests were on the Italy side. My friends named the Italy side the ghetto side since they guests never had to pay any $$. As for the guest I worked with I would love to play with em! I'd tell all the guests standing in Japan that they would have to travel half way around the world just to see the show (walking from Japan to American Adventure :lol: ). Other times I would have to cut off the line to let the guests thin out (they tended to bucnch up in the middle of the theater), I would tell the guests that I got a page over the radio and my boss told me there was a new height requirement to see the attraction. They'd have to be taller than the Kodak Picutre spot sign in order to view the performance. The sign's 6 1/2 feet high, and the guests would freak out at first and then they'd laugh at me. :lol: My experience with the Halleluyah song is totally different. It was the key song for the CPs to grab all the wheelchairs and ECVs and move them to the top of the theater. It was a rough job and wasn't always fun, BUT the memories that I have working at it are PRICELESS!!!

disneygal2001 - I'm not too sure if there were new trees put in the sides of the theater, but here's an image from when I worked there in fall 2000.

So I don't guess many of you heard the song that they put after the Halleluah chorus. You really missed. Derek Johson (the genius who arranged all the non-Messiah pieces) wrote an absolutely gorgeous arrangement to 'Let There Be Peace On Earth' as Disney memorial to 9-11 as it were. I personally liked it better then Halleluah. It gave it a more hopeful feel. I'm glad that was the last song I sung on the American Gardens Stage.

I cried during "Let There Be Peace ON Earth" it was so beautiful. The doves were gorgous as well...*sniffles* Memories.

Kicker look what you've done, You've made all of us a sobbing mess! But hey, at least you got us to "re-live" some of our favorite memories. Thanks! :king: If I'm ever in the holiday mood nowadays I just plug in my CD with Phylicia Rashaad and sing along.

Oh by the way, did they still turn on those NoiSY fans during Silent Night? They turned on the snow machines and he fans were SOOOOOO noisy that it wasn't much of a silent night at all

 

[Legacy]

Actually, two years ago they stopped doing the snow during Silent Night (or Stile' Nacht) and instead just turned on the lights over the audience. They still do the snow, only after the performance while everyone was leaving.

I remember hearing the fans during the song, but I never realized they were that loud.

 

[MGMBoy]

I actually had the previlage of singing under the direction of Derric Johnson for two years in college. He's an amazing musician and an even more amazing person.
