[MickeyWaffleCo.]

Yes, I'm a day off. It may or may not be intentional. Hey, It Could Always Be Worse...

If anyone’s interested, you might consider taking a closer look at that image. There may be more to it than meets the eye…

(If you do discover something, please do be fair to the others and don’t reveal the secret publicly!)

Have you been checked out the One Sentence Competition lately? Now there's the perfect time to jump right back into the action and have some fun! The current prompt asks for all armchair imagineers to create their own iconic theme park snacks! If that isn't enough you can now get bonus points via the current bonus challenge that seeks to find out what your least favorite park snack is and why!

I was thinking of this in the car ride home, not sure why, but as I started typing it sounded cool and I wanted to share as it goes along with the 20th anniversary celebration. Since the inception of wdwmagic competitions there's been somewhat distinct phases of imagineers and styles that I thought broke down well into these 'Phases' - much like the MCU Phases.

It's neat to see the evolution of everything from the early 2010s over the course of basically the last decade on the forums and how much the quality and content has grown along with the community.

Is it possible for you to edit the post to add the links to each comp? It would be much appreciated and I don’t want to have to search through the forums to find the original threads.
Edit: also I think you may have forgotten Twist in Time 2.

Platinum Weekends: Whose Park Is It Anyways?

Tired of all the hustle, the bustle and stress of an Imagineering competition? Then why don't you take a load off, and let your own laughter take over for the weekend! Returning for the first time after a long three year hiatus and the popular and hilarious Whose Part Is It Anyways returns to the Imagineering forums for a one weekend limited time engagement. Throughout the weekend expect various off the wall games that encourage odd yet comedic answers from everyone even those that are passing by as this isn't a game for first place, rather its an opportunity to bond with your fellow members of the forum! So what can you expect to happen during this game? Well look below for a recap of some of the fun activities coming your way!

Scenes From A Sorcerer's Hat

Inspired by Scenes From a Hat, this fun activity sees various scenarios that are picked out of a Sorcerer's Hat, and players give their funniest response back! Multiple scenarios will be posted during the segment. Example:

Giving confusing directions in the Magic Kingdom

"Ok so first you go past the castle into the colony area, past the house, through the area with the giant tower, into the big courtyard, around the castle, down the path, and walk straight down the street, and that's how you leave." - @mickeyfan5534

Things You Can Say About _______, but Not About Your Significant Other

Much like the activity from Whose Line Is It Anyway this improv routine asks a very valid thing, what are things you can say about something, but not about your significant other? Like the title suggests players state somethings that's perfectly acceptable for the subject matter, but if they said it to their significant other well they may just end up sleeping outside for the night. Example:

Things you can say about Splash Mountain, but not about your significant other?

"I don't want to wait in line for 50 mins to ride you" - @spacemt354

Questions Only

In Questions Only a topic or scenario is given out and players communicate with each other utilizing only questions building up humorous scenarios that are always varied. Example:



... and many more games to still be revealed!
