Peg Leg Pete

Peg Leg Pete spent years as the barker bird out front at the Pirates of the Caribbean ride just as you enter the queue. He would talk and sing "yo ho, yo ho, a parrot's life for me". He was rather obnoxious but when he was taken out, he was missed. Well, we were at Downtown Disney shopping and I heard him talking to guests and he was sitting on top of a display right behind me. It seems kind of sad for this piece of Pirates animatronics to be sitting in a store, but next time you are shopping in World of Disney, stop stop by and see Pete :)

I found out while starting this layout, that Echo Park's Times and Seasons collection is perfect for Pirates of the Caribbean photos! The colors and designs are sort of meant for a vintage look, but if you think about it, they are totally piraty. You may be seeing some of my ride photos scrapped finally. I also used some gigantic brads and put a mickey pirate sticker on one. The row of arrows is just punched photo corners, and the round punched design is one of those Imaginisce Itop brad cover punches (28mm). The chipboard skull and crossbones are cut out with a Ranger die.
