Mickey needs you! Twin your Town with Disney
So this is cool. My lovely friends at Disney have asked me to tell you all about their new campaign to search for the very first UK town to win the honour of being twinned with Walt Disney World in Florida! This is the very first time that the British public have actually been able to get involved and nominate their town for consideration, before it gets judged by a panel.
But hang on, I hear you ask, what does the winning town get? Well, obviously they get to bang on endlessly about how their town is twinned with Walt Disney World and bore everyone in the pub senseless about it, but they will also have the honour of receiving an official sign acknowledging the friendship made especially for them by designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, which will be presented to them at an official ceremony in…wait for it…Walt Disney World next February.
One sign will then be placed on display for guests visiting the park in the UK pavilion at EPCOT, whilst the second can be displayed in their town in the UK. Even better, the person whose winning nomination is selected will also receive a holiday for 4 in Walt Disney World to attend the ceremony!
Sadly, I can’t enter Cavan as it has to be a UK town (I’m working on them, don’t worry), but if you want to nominate your lovely home town, just log on to www.waltdisneyworldtwinnedtown.co.uk and tell Mickey why your town deserves to win either with a short video, photos, poem or just a sentence!
So what are you waiting for? Get gone!
Oh, and I’m loving the speculation on Twitter about the name of the winning town: Cheddar, anyone? Or maybe ‘Ducksford’… ‘Bournemouse’…?

Cheddar George would be an obvious choice, or is that too Cheesy ??? You be crackers to entertain this idea … Pun-city I feel ??
Anyway, I’m starting my own Disneyland. I’m hiring a bouncy castle and getting the goofy lad with the big ears from down the road to jump around in it. Problem solved.
Have a think about it, you have my number.
