WDW wins Turkeys (take that DL!)

[mousermerf]

Anywho, if you haven't gotten the info already - the pardoned national Thanksgiving turkeys are going to WDW instead of Disneyland this year.

Where do you suppose they'll keep them?

So that's what the sign I saw at work ment. They'll be staying with Mickey at his country house of course! I may have to check them out before work that day.

That's my vote. :sohappy:

Seriously, this is truly the dumbest tradition ever - the "president" pardoning a turkey. I wish they would just end it; does anyone really care?

There will be a Thanksgiving Parade at WDW? I wonder where we will be getting floats for that....

Turkeys plural? This may be just about the dumbest thing I've ever said, but I always thought he pardoned one turkey...:hammer:

“Each year, the President of the United States grants an official
pardon to a Thanksgiving turkey presented to the White House by the
National Turkey Federation. The tradition dates back to 1947, when
Harry Truman issued the first turkey pardon. It is said that he got
the idea from President Lincoln, who refused to kill a holiday turkey
after his son Tad became attached to the bird. The traditional
ceremony is held the day before Thanksgiving in the Rose Garden. (A
second bird is kept out of sight in case the first turkey can’t go
on.) After being pardoned, the turkey is given to Kidwell Farm, a
petting zoo at Frying Pan Park in Herndon, Virginia.”

One of the turkeys is still alive?!

They have such a short lifespan that they usually only live a few months. One year a turkey died the next day!:lol: :lookaroun
