The adventures of Mini-Stammer!

I used to bring my stuffed Figment to the parks with me to take random pictures. It was an idea i've shamelessly stolen from various people around the internets and what not. Kind of a Flat Stanley thing.

 It occurred to me that taking my vintage stuffed Figments to the parks where I've been know to drink a bit and get rowdy, may not be the best thing.

Along with being a rabid Disney fan, i'm a huge fan of the Tampa Bay Lightning. I have a love/hate (mostly love) relationship with one of our star players, Steven Stamkos. There's always just been something about his face that makes me want to slap it, idk. ANYWAYS. Last summer, during a venture to our team store with a post season 60% off season ticket holder discount, I came into possession of what the sporting world refers to as a "Bleacher Creature". Essentially, I bought a stuffed Stammer. It's one of the more ridiculous purchases I've ever made and at some point, we decided that Stammer needed to replace Figment as our Disney companion. Today, i'm pleased to present you with the photographic evidence of Mini Stammer's first trip to EPCOT.

I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!


 Hola from Mexico!!

 Here's our little buddy enjoying a frosty beverage!

 Mini Stammer believes that this may be an ancestor of his good friend, Victor Hedman. 

 And that THIS may be a distant relative of his other friend, Chris Dingman.

 Trollin!

 Trying on some of the awesome outfits in Norway.

Back! Back! Over the falls!


 Kind of an inside joke, but a few of you might appreciate it.



 Here he is doing some shopping in Japan.

 Mini Stammer was very popular in his native land of Canada. The CM's were very excited to meet him and even asked to take a picture with him!


Mini Stammer...how many Molsons did you have?


 Yum! His favorite treat!


Mini Stammer and I were both very excited for the premiere of Oz!



 He also enjoyed the Dolphins at The Living Seas.

 And he couldn't leave without getting the gratuitous SSE shot! 



Work insanity and blackout dates will be keeping me from Disney for the next several weeks. However! There's a big birthday trip scheduled for a weekend in April. It'll be a blast as it I'll also be celebrating my freedom from the crazy work season i've had to deal with. I'm sure Mini Stammer will tag along for that, but in the meantime, he'd like to give you a little glimpse of how excited he is for a big event happening at WDW this May. He's all fully prepared to go all out for it! You can also follow him on his facebook!
