WDW Motivational posters

Anyone care to enlighten me on this?

That's the old ring in the pavement outside the Haunted Mansion that had an elaborate storyline involving Master Gracey and the Bride revolved around it. Apparently WDI didn't approve and had it removed during the renovation.


As for the Merf thing, that was before my time...so I need enlightenment as well.

Merf is a frequent member here who's also one out of many of our lead news providers. His favorite park is EPCOT, and the most recent thread that he covered was the 40th anniversary thread. He's not usually bitter, but he does tell the truth and does not look through rose-colored glasses. He sometimes needs a hug. Also, MerfCove, that area pictured in EPCOT... I don't know what that is. HELP!

Oh why not. .....

The ring was not a ring. It was a cut off pipe, stanchion, post, whatever ....

It looked like a ring but it was really not the right size for one. There was an elaborate story about it. In summary, the bride threw it down from the attic and there it lay embedded in the concrete. It was not an "offical" WDW / WDI backstory. It evolved out of the fans and the CM's. My guess is that because it was not easily disproved with a little clear thought - such as the Swan & Dolphin are designed to have the monorail run through them - that the story stuck

During the last refurb, things were moved, pavement was redone, and the "ring" was removed / paved over / reclaimed by the bride.

I can almost guarentee you that someday "Merfcove" will be turned into a smoking area.

 

[Captain Hank]

There already is a smoking area nearby. Merfcove is sometimes used by WDW Research as a place to conduct surveys.

And he's banned! :lol:

For a moment there I thought I missed something and that he was back. Just to add on for those who may not remember him, lets just say that he was unhappy with the SSE refurb.:lol:

Going with the political theme of other threads...

Kinda obscure...

And now, for my new one...

Wish Chris Hanson was allowed to enact this type of punishment. That would make a decrease in this type of behavior.

 

[GatorGambit]

Oh wow, that one stings a little bit.

 

[GatorGambit]

Amazing - I've suddenly lost all interest in food...

Oh golly, that was a rough thread. I love the "Frontierland" one, by the way.
