Is the gossip phone still working in MK?

I asked a CM where it was when I visited last year. They had no idea what I was even talking about, but he did look a little new.

Disney liked the story so much, that after the refurb to the que they actually imbeded a ring into the concrete. I know it disappeared a few months back, not sure if its back...

it's now at the entrance where the queue joins back into the main line from the games area...its on the right close to the wall...

The sword in the stone is still there. They still do the ceremony. Ask a cast member they have the times!

What's the ceremony?

I remember as a kid at Disneyland, people would stop by to try to dislodge it and every now and then somebody off-stage would disengage the lock and a cast member would congratulation the person who partially pulled the sword. I was never so lucky.

There used to be a whole production with Merlin the wizard. He would pick a strong looking adult out of the audience and a young child. Of course the adult would not be able to remove the sword, but it would rise up for the child. The child would then be told they were now the temporary ruler of the realm (or some such title) and they had controll over all Magic Kingdom. Then Merlin would say something like "Oh look, I talked for so long that your time to rule has expired, sorry". The kid did get a medal to keep. My daughter was picked once, and we have the medal in one of the tubs of Disney stuff we have stored.

What is the gossip phone? Is that the phone in the hat shop?

You used to be able to call the red phonebooths in EPCOT.. I had all their numbers saved in my phone. It was nice to randomly call Disney. These no longer work

I used to do this on a Sat night...too funny when someone picked up Drinking Around The World.

Lawnmower Tree is totally gone. Used to be so cool to see that on our way to boat dock.

Our daughter got to pull the sword from the stone in spring of 2015. She still talks about it every time we go.
