they're everywhere!

One of my college program roommates and I used to joke about the ghetto Magic Kingdom cats all the time. Oh to be a fly on the wall when those big suckers come out at night. I wonder if the third shift custodial and maintenance crew names them or something.

[RiaLucia]

For the record, this was supposed to be a reply to another post and not a thread of its own. My bad!

[DLSweeper]

In DL there are two kitties by Small World, one is Tigger and the other is Smokey. They're both so cute! =^^= I have two cats of my own and I'm addicted to mine. :) Anywho.... Yeah, I've almost pet Tigger once, but someone made a loud noise and he ran away. ;_;

when I worked Main St OPS for my college program we had some ducks that were always together.. one was a malard (however it's spelled) and a white one.. They had names depending on who you talked to some called them Salt and Pepper and others called them Lunch and Dinner they were always together like a cute old couple.

I love all the lil duck families that swim around in the water at the Jungle Cruise. They're so adorable and it's like they're a part of the JC family because some of the skippers will feed them and we all make sure no one hurts them.

There's one white duck (among the many mallards) who hangs around the MK monorail station.

We call him AFLAC. http://figzu.com/smilies/duck.gif

OMG! That is so cute! :)

The morning after a gradnite (when the sun was actually up, and the grads were gone [thank god]) I was walking out of adventureland, onto main street, where there was a mommy-duck, with her (i think it was about 5) little ducklings. 4 of them were right with mommy, and one was drifting away. Right as I got a little too close for their comfort, mom calls for the little drifter, and he/she just goes waddling back to the group.

Over at Fantasmic (WDW), we have four or five families of bunnies living in the bushes.

One of them has been named Standing Room Bunny by me (Please, for the love of it, don't ask). Mainly because when I'm cleaning that area, but bunny is always there after the show and never moves for his life. Seriously, I've walked right by it and he just looks at me like "What?"

Then there were the ducks that used to swim in the moat before they found a cheaper house over at Echo Lake. Used to be named Donald, Hewy, Dewy and Lewy, and Daisy.

Now the only one that's left is Uncle Scrooge.

Soon, those four or five families of bunnies, will be about four or five million families of bunnies!

Reminds me of an old Disney cartoon about a train engineer, and his 2 guinea pigs, whom he thought were both boys, until one day, they had babies. And then it multiplied into 2 million and 2. The entire narration of the episode was sung to the melody of "Irish Washerwoman"

[IndyandMarion]

Not really considering that the groups started moving in in 98, but we sure could use a few of them for crowd control on nights when people "call in because they're still having trouble from the hurricane", which they arent...and management knows about it....and management is dealing with it....

[LittleDollClaudia]

The name of that cartoon was Pigs Is Pigs. I love that story. Cracks me up every time I see it. :D

Okay, I know this is an old post but I had to ask do you mean the MK at WDW or DL?

Last time we were at WDW last year there was a white duck among the mallards at the Grand Floridian boat launch dock. We sat down and it looked at me and said, "Wack."

I said hello little ducky, you are adorable but I'm sorry I do'nt have anything to feed you. He looked at me accusingly, as if to say that he knew I'd left a half finished hot-dog bun at Casey's 15 minutes earlier.

Again he says "Wack"

He looks at my husband, daughter, Wacks again. Then he disappeared.

A minute later, he was walking through the rungs of the railing, up the tile walk and over to me. He looked at me like surely if I saw him up close that I would see how adorable he was and offer him some refreshment. I told him again sorry baby, I don't have anything for you, but I love you.

He looked at me lovingly, blinked, "Wacked" again, and then DID HIS BUSINESS right at my feet ROFLMAO!

DH and I about died laughing. We had taken it's picture a minute before it did that. Everyone there laughed.

All year we have talked more about that duck than the whole rest of the trip (and we stayed grand flo concierge that time to treat my dad after he had been critically ill the year before).

I cannot wait to go and look for him. Maybe it was AFLAC!

I told my husband, this year I save the hotdog bun in a baggy for Wack the duck. I can't wait to go tomorrow and look for him.

[IndyandMarion]

We do have Miscovies (Spelling? Floridians will know what Im talkin about).

These are the devil ducks. These little bastards will actually attack you for no reason. Now I know your duck didn't do that but it's possible he was being nice. But we do have just regular white ducks around here.

God. That's the reason why Donald is the only duck I like...seriously, when I was growing up, my grandfather and I used to go to a lake down the street from where I live and feed the ducks. Well the devil ducks were there and when we ran out of bread, they actually started ATTACKING ME. So yeah, needless to say at age 4 when this happened, I was just a little scared...still hate ducks, will deal with them, but will never forgive them

[aliceindisguse]

There are like 10 cats the live in the old skyway chalet in fantasyland. And if the cat has beeen seen its been named. They like to run around on the tracks of Casey Jr. and freakout castmembers. There are two that are seen most often, an orange one named Oscar and a grey one named Skimbleshanks.
Also there are two ducks who like to nest at Casey Jr.'s dock and they've been named Tyrone and Shaniqua. One day Tyrone flew by the dock and basically bitch-slapped my friend. It was so funny my friend just stood there in shock.

First, there's never a post too old to reply to around here.

Second, there is only one "Magic Kingdom", and it's in Walt Disney World. That other place is just called "Disneyland".

Last time we were at WDW last year there was a white duck among the mallards at the Grand Floridian boat launch dock.

Yeah, that sounds like AFLAC. He's got more of an entitlement complex than your average PAP stockholder!

But overall, I don't mind the ducks. It's seaguls that I really hate.

Seagulls? Seagulls? Oh! The skyrats!

Or "Rats with wings" as the pelican called them in Nemo.

[Stduck]

We don't have seagulls at DL -grins- Just lots and lots and lots and lots of crows. A lot of them hung out at the Haunted Mansion. One guest had the nerve to yell at me to do something about the birds sitting in the trees and pooping on the guests. I just nodded and said "I'm sorry ma'am"

Seems we've had many more crows around SOCAL this year. A few times guests have mentioned the crows & asked me why they were "brought" to Disney Land. :roll: I've been telling guests these crows are from Hitchcock's The Birds. So sad. Most honestly believe me. Go figure :!:

Next time say something too smart for them to understand:
The Disneyland Resort is an open ecosysytem eviorment integrated into the Anaheim and larger Souther California area. Organisms can come and go as they please in this humble paridise Mickey Mouse calls home.

..and than stand there and smile.

My version of this: "It was swamp before Mickey, and it'll be swamp after Mickey. Right now it's swamp *with* Mickey." That usually leaves them with a pretty good glaze.

Too funny!! Not sure I'll remember all the above eco speil. Mention ecosystem or paradise Mickey Mouse & guests will ask where these rides are & how long fastpass lines are. Basically feel the ecosystem comment is much too high for even the brightest guest's I Q. - on a good day :wink:

[StrangeTikiGod]

Hopping back to the topic of naming ducks, I remember ambling about the Boardwalk one night with my CP roommates and being informed that a winged threesome that frequented the area near the bakery had been named "Quacker," "Squeaker," and "The Other One."

[CMDad]

Second, there is only one "Magic Kingdom", and it's in Walt Disney World. That other place is just called "Disneyland".
Actually I had heard DL be referred to a The Magic Kingdom in my pre-1971 visits.

[GMC]

Disneyland IS the Original Magic Kingdom, NEVER forget it!

[Zazu]

Disneyland was *described* as "a magic kingdom" and "a magical kingdom," but I don't believe the company has ever used "the Magic Kingdom" (capitalized) to refer to the west coast park. (As ever, I stand ready to be corrected.)

Even it it was, get with the program! Disney changes names for things all the time. I'd think that a change that was made 33 years ago - before most of you young whippersnappers were born - might have sunk in by now.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to return to my research of what to call "The Island Formerly Known as Discovery Island." http://figzu.com/smilies/prince.gif

[Polar33]

Not that I want to drag this into a debate, but I have an audio file somewhere of an old main gate announcment that refers to Disneyland as "The magic kingdom of Disneyland". A Google search comes up with a good number of results of that same search term, but none of the ones that I saw can be considered as 100% reliable as there are also a good number of results that call the Main Street Electrical Parade the "Electric Light Parade". The only way to truely find out if Disney was using the term "magic kingdom" as a verb or a noun, one would have to find something printed by Disney that would show the capitalization of "magic kingdom".

However, I do completely agree that even if "magic kingdom" was used when referring to Disneyland, it needs to stop now to make things a whole lot less complicated.

There are like 10 cats the live in the old skyway chalet in fantasyland. And if the cat has beeen seen its been named....
An old seldom used van at work is rusted with a hole in the floor. One day I had to drive it to a job site. I open the door and get pleted with an intense smell of cat urine. Apparently a cat gave birth to a liter and all were living inside the vheicle for some time, but have sinced move elsewhere. The day was windy so I opened all doors and windows to air out the van. All I accompished was creating a dust devil of cat hair inside. I was running late so I had to live with it.
