Four Parks One World Snowdome

Here's another addition to the new line of snowdomes available at WDW.

Disney Animal Kingdom Snowglobe

Ended up cutting my visit to Animal Kingdom short but not before I found this globe. I did see this globe on ebay in 2007 so I guess it isn't a new design but I hadn't seen it at the park since I've been watching so this is probably a new shipment. It is a mini globe a little over a couple of inches tall, has glitter and shows Mickey driving a jeep while glancing at the bird flying along on top of the globe. It costs $12.

Idiot Blogger forgets camera

Journeyed into the Animal Kingdom today for my Mom's 71st birthday (Happy Birthday Mom!). While there, I found 3 snowglobes I had not seen before. Unfortunately my camera stayed home.
There are two Expedition Everest snowglobes that probably have been available since the ride opened but this is the first time I've seen them. There is a mini that costs $15 and a medium sized with blower and lights that costs $50. Both are very nice.
There is also a new line of Animal Kingdom merchandize that features the Fab 5 in a hot air balloon soaring over the park. There is a snowglobe that is part of that line of merchandise that features the characters in the basket of the balloon.
I believe all three are only available at Animal Kingdom.
Wow, the park was crowded today. Amazing how much Expedition Everest and the Finding Nemo musical have added to the attendance of this park. We were awarded the Year of a million dreams lanyard and pins. Technically I'm not supposed to win since I work for an operating participant but I gues they dont check on the smaller prizes.

Disney Snowglobe - Walt Disney World

This is a new globe, I think. I haven't seen it before.

An icon from each of the four WDW parks form the base and it lists the name of a park on each side. The snow type used is glitter and it plays "It's A Small World" I kind of thought Mickey would spin when I wound it, but he didn't. Cost is $45.

Disney Finding Nemo Snowglobe

This comical globe made me smile as soon as I saw it. Nemo swims around inside the top of the globe and members of the Tank Gang rotate around the base. It plays "Tiny Bubbles" and sells for $65 at WDW.



Next time your at WDW, check out the new Finding Nemo attractions at Epcot and Animal Kingdom. I highly reccomend both.

Disney snowglobe - Animal Kingdom

Going through some of my 1998 Disney catalogs today, I came across this snowglobe and I have a question. If anyone reading this owns this globe, please leave an answer. The catalog description does not list that this globe has music. Ordinarily I assume that means it does not have music, but the base of this one revolves. Did they really build a snowglobe with movement but without music? I find that unlikely. It's more likely that they didn't know when they were writing the description what it was going to play. However, I need to know for sure for my book. And while your at it, what kind of "snow" does it have in it? Thanks for any info you can provide.
