From what I hear waking Tinkerbell is no longer done.
From what I have read she appears in a window now. She is much easier to see but it is no where near as cool as the key hole thing was. This is one of a laundry list of little details that I need to confirm or deny in a couple of weeks.Apparently this is the case. There used to be a drawer/chest in there, with a hollow key hole. You could peak in and see her. Then i heard after the remodel, that was gone, but you could still "ring some kind of bell" at the counter and if you looked around, you could see flickering lights, supposed to be tink. Not sure if this is still there or not:shrug:

While I will be updating when I get back I will be leaving on the same day you are arriving.Richard keep us updated via this thread or PM me if you don't mind, i leave the 27th and would love to know since i printed out that list of "Disney Secrets/Tips" to look out for. This particular thing was on that list, i can strike it so i don't have to waste time on it.
Thanks

If I recall, as the effects were originally installed in the shop, she "appeared" in multiple places, but the keyhole in the chest drawer was the only one where you could actually see her.
You would hear the tinkling chimes sound, and there was fiber optic pixie dust that would swirl along the wall until Tink reached an object, and then there would be a flash and a ding as Tink "landed" there. It would start as Tink flew along and landed in a box of treasure behind one of the register counters (the gold and jewels in the box would blink), then she would fly across the room to a lantern high up on a shelf and a strobe would blink in the lantern as she landed. Then she would fly over to the chest of drawers and land inside, at which point a light would blink inside the keyhole and if you looked in you could see Tink inside. Then it would repeat around the room.
At some point a remodel of the store removed one of the effects, then another, then another. Now they just have the bell, I believe it's at the same counter that used to have the box of treasure and jewels.

Correct. Foe a time around 2004-2005ish the light in the drawer was on full time and you could peer through the key hole and see a PO'ed Tink sitting on a spool of thread.If I recall, as the effects were originally installed in the shop, she "appeared" in multiple places, but the keyhole in the chest drawer was the only one where you could actually see her.
