Speaking of pirates and pigs, this #WhateverWednesday, we’ve got the Disney Parks Pirates of the Caribbean “The Scalawag.”
I forgot I shared this Disney Parks exclusive figure somewhat randomly last year; I covered the entire line again earlier this year. Trust me, the next time he comes around, you’ll like the picture and write-up much more. Either way, this pirate dude is still not afraid of some mud getting in the way of a good time. 🍺😄
That’s it for today, but I’ll have an extra post from the archives on Friday.
Recommended music for this post: Weezer – Island in the Sun
On this #WhateverWednesday, we’re spending a little more time with the Palisades Muppets Vacation Pepe, and today he’s joined by Plunderlings Fwush!
While Disney happened to give Pepe the character spotlight a couple of weeks ago for its #TheMuppets70 campaign, Pepe also turned up on my recent trip to Walt Disney World to see MuppetVision 3D at Disney’s Hollywood Studios one last time before the show closes forever on June 7, 2025. This is my last reminder: you’ve got about nine weeks.
Plunderlings Raider Fwush also joined in the fun at Walt Disney World, leaving his pirate weapons at home. These Peter Pan topiaries at EPCOT were right in his wheelhouse.
We’ve now left Walt Disney World and stopped by Bonanza Golf and Gifts on Highway 192 just south of Disney property, so Fwush could take a picture with this waterfall that is nearly as blue as he is.
Ahoy! We’ve now moved out to sea, and Fwush is enjoying the Pirates Cove aquapark on our cruise ship. Who knew pirates would be an excellent theme for water slides on the ocean?
When the boat stopped at Ocean Cay, MSC’s private island and reserve, Fwush found all these iguanas just chilling in the sun. They blend in well with the rocks. How many can you spot?
Yes, I could have zoomed in and cropped this picture a bit. However, Fwush on a beach-side palm tree looked fun from top to bottom.
Here is a tiny lizard that (like the iguanas) was not interested in making friends with little blue creatures.
We skipped by this beach, but Fwush wanted a picture with the lighthouse.
As did Pepe
Too many beaches, and not enough time for this shrimp. “I am not a shrimp–I am a king prawn, okay!” Okay, Pepe. See you next time!
For this #WhateverWednesday, I’m still thinking about Splash Mountain, so enjoy one last look at some Song of the South model sheets of Brer Rabbit, the Tar Baby, and concepts for other animals to stand in for Uncle Remus on Splash Mountain that I acquired from the collection of Disney Legend Ralph Kent!
For this #WhateverWednesday, I’m still thinking about Splash Mountain, so enjoy some more Song of the South model sheets of Brer Fox and Brer Bear I acquired from the collection of Disney Legend Ralph Kent.
On the next #WhateverWednesday post from the archives, I shared this brief look at a Photostat Model Sheet of Mr. Bluebird from the film Song of the South!
