To Key or Not to Key....

Morrigoon · 07-12-2005, 04:45 PM

That is the question.
Whether tis nobler in....

Aw, to hell with the poetry!

Should I wear my precious Disneyland key on a ribbon around my neck on the 50th or not?

Rats, I forgot to add a poll.

How about haiku?

Should Morrigoon wear
a ribbon and key, or not?
That is the question......

wendybeth · 07-12-2005, 04:53 PM

Yes, of course you should
so long as it does not clash
with your cool outfit!

What is the background story about your precious Disneyland key? On July 17th this year, I'm sure a lot of people will be wearing or carrying around Disney items or clothing special to them for reminiscing and celebrating the 50th. So, I say go ahead if it will enhance your memories of Disneyland and this Sunday. However, there's always the risk of accidentally losing something while navigating through big crowds.

Ya gotta wear the key! Just make sure it's a kevlar ribbon. Don't want to lose that sucker.

Ps. Unless I miss my guess, the key in question is one of the gold keys that were handed out to guests on opening day in 1955. They were good for a lifetime entry into the park.

GD: LOVE the poll choices!

DD: The story is, my grandmother was a newspaper editor. She took my dad and two cousins to Disneyland on July 17th. Every child that went got a brass key that was good for free Disneyland admission for the rest of their lives. Well, this was back when you still had to pay for rides. But anyway, of the three my family recieved, one remained, and was given to me as a birthday gift some 15 or so years ago by my cousin. It's the only thing I have with any connection to my grandmother, and above that, also carries value as an opening day item and as lifetime admission (problem is, as we learned the year the key was given to me, you'd have to trade the key in for the lifetime pass!). However, this IS a great occasion to bring it out.

Also, I really need to figure out how to get some old timer that still remembers the keys to validate it in some official way before everyone who remembers them is dead or gone. I was trying to figure out a way to offer to loan it to Disney for the 50th exhibit, but I've basically dropped the ball on that, haven't I? That would have been the numero uno way to get official recognition that couldn't be refuted when people retire.

Anyway, if I bring it, I'm going to have to be careful all day not to lose it, but if it's around my neck I think it shouldn't be a problem?

I think you should wear it......BUT it needs to be ULTRA secure. You must not lose precious!

€uroMeinke · 07-12-2005, 05:59 PM

But if the key causes invisibility on your part, we won't see your outfit

I'm a party pooper and I vote for no. Yes, it would be super cool. But if you lost it -- and it will be a hugely crowded, crazy day, people jostling here and there and everywhere -- you won't just be losing a Disneyland artifact, but also a family heirloom.
