You've seen the avatars and signature lines. Many people have IM'ed me, asking me what it was all about. The wait is over. I will finally reveal what MOUSEHUNT 2004 is.
Mousehunt 2004 actually started last Saturday. I was lying in bed, and thinking about something special that Tifani and I can do for our very last weekend in the parks using these Annual Passes (which expire tomorrow. I renewed mine today). I came up with Mousehunt. Originally, it was going to be Tifani and I going around, trying to break a world record. The more we talked about it, the more we decided that a world record was not the way to go. Instead, we turned it into a fun challenge with Tifani and I actually competing AGAINST each other. The premise was, go around to different parts of Walt Disney World, and get our papers signed by castmembers at that location. We started Mousehunt at 11am , and below, I will list the events of today, and lastly, who the winner of the very first MouseHunt was.
Here were the locations we needed to visit. Each one was worth a different amount of points.

Ok, so with that in mind (and on our papers) we took off. I first went to Wilderness Lodge, and Tifani went to the MK area hotels. I managed to get WL, and MK before going to CB to meet Tifani for lunch. We ate (and left our MOUSEHUNT 2004 mark on the place) and then I headed over to AK. It became obvious to me that I was gonna need some more time. I called up Tifani, and asked her if it would be alright to extend MouseHunt (that was supposed to end at 5pm) be moved, so that it ended at 6pm. After alot more signatures, I made it to Epcot and met Kenan at the Tip Board. He came with me to get my Yacht / Beach Club, Swan, Dolphin, and Boardwalk signatures. (Kenan, you didn't even need to worry about taking up time (lol...you'll see...keep reading). So, then I went over to get more signatures and I finally made it to the Cheesecake Factory at DisneyQuest, since that was where we were supposed to meet. Oh, I forgot to mention, it was 7pm by this time.
Now, from the stories on the car ride home : Tifani was telling me that her feet really started hurting and that slowed her down. She also was telling me that she had to wait in a giant line for the Monorail, which broke down when she got there. She had to deal with a crazy bus driver who kept saying "DOWWWWWWWWWWN TOWWWWWWWWWWWWN DISNAAAAY" and yelling at the cars next to him, saying things like, "C'mon car, you can go" and then pointing to another car and saying "BUT YOU CAN'T". We were laughing all the way home but that was in part, due to the fact that we were so incredibly tired. Everything hurts (even things I didn't know I had).
So, who was the winner, you ask?
first, I would like to thank:
Chris at the MK
Seth at Epcot
M---- at MGM
Debbie at AK
Mary at DisneyQuest
Aida at Sweet Memories
Debbie at Mickey's Groove
Cecilia at Cont.
J. Weatherman at Poly
Roberto at GF
Merideth at WL
Do at the Swan
Luis at Dolphin
Leanne at AKL
Jamie at BW
Yashoki at Yacht Club
Kay at BC
Cherrle at CB
And thats all I got signed. So, with all that being said...
The Winner
of the FIRST EVER
MouseHunt 2004
was....
ME!!! My grand total was 175 points. Tifani got 135. I need to be fair though. She got points off for being late to lunch, and most of the day, she was ahead of me, but I really stepped into gear at the end of the day.
I hope next year, more people will participate (I only know some) and it would be more fun. I have to tell you, the real challenge in all this was using WDW Transportation...ONLY WDW TRANSPORTATION!
