Team Rickey divulges the juiciest news, hot goss and social media B.S. from the last week. Enjoy!
Rumor: Say Farewell To The Fuzzy Tauntaun At Oga’s Cantina
Recently someone in the Disney Day Drinkers Club got the scuttlebutt from an Oga’s bartender. This particular individual claimed that the unpleasant yet must-do drink will be off the menu soon due to supply chain issues with the buzz button foam. And THEN Disney Food Blog corroborated this rumor. It’s like a bad boyfriend that you should be happy to see go….but you just can’t. Oh, Fuzzy Tauntaun, you make us simultaneously awkward, uncomfortable and numb, and we don’t really want it to stop.
Also Say Goodbye To Your Contraband
According to Kenny The Pirate, the security guards at Disney World Parks are beginning to crack down on any suspicious liquids in bottles that have already been opened. Apparently this even includes sunscreen bottles because guests have been getting increasingly more creative in their methods for sneaking in unsanctioned fun fuel through the gates. But, of course, this does not apply to any of Rickey’s readers because they would never cross the Disney overlords OR break the rules.
Geeze, ALSO Say Goodbye To Your Boob Shirts AND/OR Free Swag
Recently younglings on social media have been posting about their attempts to get free tees from Disney by arriving at the parks scantily class in busty shirts and whatnot. Apparently kindly cast members used to escort these overly exposed folks to the closest gift shop to pick out free T-shirts.
However, this Disney hack blew up and now cast members are instructing violators to either go home and change or buy less “offensive” items with their own money. This less charitable stance on Disney’s part was recently documented by some gal on the TikToks (pictured above) when she was stopped at the gate.
Anyhoo, Rickey’s favorite (least favorite?) part of this whole debacle was the absolute SHAME FEST that occurred on Facebook. When WDWNT posted about it, the comments contained an uninterrupted series of at least 24 reactions which merely read, “good”. Some of the “goods” seemed to be reacting to the unfairness of dingleberries getting free swag (fair). But many other posters were more like “BOOOBS! EEEEW!”, “MY EEEEYES!!”, “THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!” and so on and so forth. So, anyway, that’s the internet, ladies and gentlemen. Both obsessed with and utterly terrified of mammaries.
Face Tequila
This is one for all the drunken narcissists out there. According to Disney Food Blog, some day in the near future, you might be able to get your own ugly mug printed on a cocktail at La Cava del Tequila! Rickey has his cat’s face printed on socks, but that’s where he draws the line… Ok, who are we kidding? After a few at La Cava he’d definitely get his beloved feline printed on his drink (or immortalized on his person…good thing there’s not a tattoo shop at EPCOT).
Rotisserie Walt
Ok so this isn’t really news, but it’s news to Rickey. You know when irate Disney fans claim that “WALT IS TURNING OVER IN HIS GRAVE” because something didn’t meet their exacting standards on a recent trip? Well, it turns out there is a term for this: It’s Rotisserie Walt. So, for example, “the Disney security guard stole my plastic bottle of box wine and made me put a shirt on. The Magic is GONE!!” …Enter, Rotisserie Walt.
