Forget Waldo. Where's GD?

I don't know how you flipped a picture but that was cool!

I also noticed you two with the fingers backwards but I wasn't going to say anything.

OK, so how can I consider myself a true Disney geek, yet never have heard of the compass ceremony, especially since it is apparently a decades-old tradition?

Somebody please fill me in on the origins of this strange yet delightful ritual.

Any decades old tradition can have only one source - iSm. ;) Since he's been doing Disney traditions far longer than most of us, this is out of his bag of tricks, and performed only on Disneyland's birthday, I believe...though traditionally it was done if you spent an entire day at the park, all of us closers were allowed to participate. :)

Crazy thing is, I believe I've done it 4 years in a row now. :eek:

I did it at 2am on my last night in the MK at WDW. That was geeky.

Looks like you guys had a blast. I had to leave right after dinner because dinner didn't like me /sob. :(

Yep, I have no idea how the Compass Dance started in the prehistoric time of circa 1980 - - but it's done on Disneyland Birthday when you close the Park -and- is also performed if you have both opened and closed the Park on any single day.



Of course, I'd now love for Hands Across Main Street to be a Disneyland Birthday Tradition - - but obviously one that can only be performed during the final moments of Main Street's Remaining 1 Hour of Shopping Convenience, and with a minimum of 21 Park Closers.

But it ruins the forced perspective!

I still have residual water on my shorts from sitting next to you on Nemo!

You sure it wasn't the kid who sat on that seat before you?

That's more like it!!!
