Popcorn Mickey

[CaptPhoebus]

Here are some more shots of the Food Network event yesterday. Enjoy!

Stepping into DCA, this sign greeted us


Maybe these "Junior Chefs" know the way?


Looks like we are on the right trail


The trail leads us to here, the Bay Amphitheater


Look Ma, I could be on TV


Promotional Sign advertising the Event. Remember the Week of October 9th


Another warning sign


Another Food Network sign


These banners were everywhere, hope you enjoy the new Disney Parks logo. It's here to stay for a while


Handouts they were giving everyone

Looks like we are on the right trail

Cute, really cute!

Thanks for the pics by the way

[CaptPhoebus]

So this is what they are calling it


Mickey's coming along nicely at around 3:30 PM


I wonder if they chose this location for a particular reason? Hmmmmm


Is he trying to give me the finger?


Hey, how did this get past security?


Man is this a messy job


This pile just doesn't seem to get any smaller


Kids, look away, this might ruin the "Disney Magic"


Chef surveying the sculpture


Time is wasting. Better hurry up.

[CaptPhoebus]

Wow, that was fast


Warming up the crowd


Coming along nicely


Attaching the ears


Nice hat


"Why I oughta..."


Will they finish in time?


How Mickey stacks up to the rest of us

Interesting and very different. Wonder what it tastes like?

[CaptPhoebus]

Did it break the record?



Did this banner really unfurl? Even I do not know. Just have to tune in to the Food Network the week of October 9th to find out.

Waiting for the finale...!!! The build up is great CaptPhoebus!!! Love the pics and the story you tell!

Interesting and very different. Wonder what it tastes like?

Overheard while taking the first photos, people were saying that the original glue was supposed to be caramel. However, due to heat (and humidity) the caramel bonds would weaken and could cause the sculpture to fall apart. What they ended up using was a gelatin mixture, which would hold up throughout the day.

Mmmmmm, gotta love me some of that popcorn flavored jello!

[Alchimedes]

That is really interesting what they used to hold Mickey together. Having a Homer Simpson moment.... MMMMM Caramel. < ---- yum

He looks like a giant rice krispy treat!! I absolutely love this show!!! Except that they always show it around 10 at night and it causes the worse cravings.

Great pictures! Thanks for posting them and I can't wait to see it on Food Network.

I am still laughing over the chain saws. Did you ever think you would see a chain saw at Disneyland or DCA?

[BFJen]

So did they finish it? Did they let you see it?
