Have another sample teaser for you all if you'd like to try!

As mentioned yesterday with the Epcot sampler, each prompt I want to try and make as immersive as possible...not necessarily adding a ton of work for the players (it's more work for me lol) but to provide more entertainment and things to do/see.

Sound and music is something Fantasia and The Sorcerer's Apprentice is known for. It was the first commercial film to be released in stereophonic sound, and with that said -- we'll tie in 'sound' with each prompt in the form of Disney Sound Trivia!

Below is a sample test of 9 Disney Parks sounds (DL and WDW for the test). Try it out and see if you can get them all! This will also help me gauge if it's too easy/hard, and also if you'd want one of these as a little bonus for each prompt location.

Hope you enjoy!

Without looking

1. Living with the Land (I wanna say the part with all the pictures at the end)

2. Star Tours

3. Gonna guess Haunted Mansion because it sounds vaguely spooky. But that's just a guess

4. Spaceship Earth. I believe when you enter space.

5. Gonna guess Matterhorn based on the style. But that's a total shot in the dark cuz I've never been on Matterhorn (it was closed the one time I got to visit Disneyland)

6. Space Mountain. In the queue. And in my heart

7. That sounds like cars land based on the vaguely country style and the dialogue. But could be wrong as I've never been and haven't watched videos of much of it.

8. It's a train. Sounds oddly fake though. So I don't think it's the railroad. Besides, that would be too easy. Casey jr water play area thing in Storybook Circus maybe?

9. Germany. Best place to eat in Epcot.


I love this idea by the way!!!

Half credit on #8 for guessing Casey Jr. so nearly perfect score! Great job and thanks!

#1 is actually right in the beginning of Living with the Land, but it sounds really similar to the ending song, perhaps on purpose (circle of life and all)

The story about buying gator jerky under an over pass is 100 percent real. He sets up on Sundays right by Vista Way (College program housing). It is good. A lot of places cut gator jerky with pork (because pigs are a lot easier to get, even in Florida). So, finding really good gator jerky is tough.

I am so Floridian sometimes lol

Listening to the Spider-Man/Harry Potter fight

The biggest gripe with FJ is that if you don't know much about Harry Potter...it's a much lesser experience for the guest. It's also the greatest hits of the films essentially...which is fun for fans, but makes no sense for anyone who is a novice to the franchise haha

Of course I was at a big disadvantage with that fight with my only point of reference for Spider-Man being the highly inferior Transformers. As soon as Pi started describing the physical sensations of the simulator I knew I'd have an uphill battle.

Before I leave for my trip, I wanted to quickly rant about an experience I had last night/early this morning that really threw off my mood and the overall Disney Magic of pre-trip excitement. Without getting into details, today was a very trying day personally with certain family members. I don't want to call this community out directly because honestly this whole thing came down to one moderator's poor decision making, but I was having a hard time coming to grips with the family drama and letting it go for the trip. I was genuinely worried what happened would negatively affect the whole experience. What do I do? I post a question to a Disney-centered Facebook group who's primary message/mission statement is spreading positivity (again, if you can guess which group I'm talking about based on these descriptions I don't want you to get the wrong idea and think I'm calling out the group itself...)

So I basically ask for coping strategies about how to manage and get the most out of a Disney trip when there's personal drama going on back home. Seemed like a perfectly reasonable thing to ask in a group that basically acts as therapy a lot of the time and especially considering one of the main people connected to the group had reccently come out about a very trying family experience and I figured the groundwork had been set for this kind of talk.

I'll be the first to admit in my post I probably got a little too specific with my problems, if only because I wanted them to know the full story of what I was dealing with and that it wasn't just day-to-day stress but something much more emotionally upsetting on a fundamental level. Very quickly I got some really good positive feedback from people and was starting to feel better, but then just as soon as my mood started to lift the entire post got outright deleted. Now I probably shouldn't have called out the mod for that but I did knowing that the post calling them out would be instantly deleted anyways...I just wanted to know who to talk to and wanted an explanation about why my support system...a support system which this group clearly preaches in their mission statement, was cut off at the knees. The response I got was a vague allusion to "not being allowed to talk about things that might escalate into legal action".

Honestly...I get it. I really do. It's just for having been involved in the Disney fan community for well over a decade at this point and seeing my fair share of drama...this was, without a doubt the most unprofessional thing I've ever seen. The reason I think it was so unprofessional is that the mod gave me no warning of the thread being deleted, offered no explanation until I directly called them out, and worst of all cut off the support system of a person who was CLEARLY having a tough time right at the knees. It made me feel tiny. :( It made me feel like my problems didn't matter, especially because frankly I've seen a lot of stories shared on that groups that certainly had the potential to escalate into legal action, INCLUDING the one I was alluding to earlier which seemed to be a big focal point of bringing the community together. I felt shunned, betrayed, and worst of all VALIDATED in my depression, anxiety, and self destructive thought process.

I realize this mod wasn't intending to send me into a depressive episode, I just think in a situation like this you need to be careful about how you handle people who are clearly having a tough time. I get that I was being too personal, it's a by product of my Autism and honestly I've lost more than a couple friends through sharing too much personal stuff about myself too quickly. The right way to go about it would have been to have sent me a message BEFORE deleting the thread, and better yet suggesting that I still have the right to ask the question of "how to do a Disney trip when you're dealing with personal drama back home" WITHOUT the actual details of my personal life. I would have been fine with that. Instead they cut me off at the knees and acted like I simply didn't matter.

So I was angry, and I sent them a sarcastic jab about the "think positive" stuff only applying to certain people. With that I was banned from both the regular and Disney versions of the group. Real professional, guys. Classy. Honestly I didn't care about that, I was going to leave anyways. It was just a nice cherry on top and honestly I found it funny in its pettiness. To top it off her response to my jab was "seek professional help". For those who don't know, basically saying that without acknowledging people's actual problems is pretty much a slur in the mental health community. Just don't use that wording. It's very dismissive.

I didn't mean to write a novel here. This whole experience just really wired me and upset me even more than I already was given the family situation. Again, I don't want to publicly name names or call out the group because I don't blame the group itself but instead the BLATANT unprofessional behavior of the mod in question. This is just some food for thought on how NOT to handle a situation where someone is clearly in distress and trying to reach out for help.
