Slinky Dog Dash Easter Eggs
Hi everyone! If you're a Pixar fan, you know that the Easter eggs in their films are literally hidden gems that are super fun to find. Well, get ready to find a ton on Slinky Dog Dash in Toy Storyland. An Easter egg can be a message, an inside joke, or a hidden feature that creators intentionally hide. And just like a Pixar movie, Slinky Dog Dash in Hollywood Studios is also chock full of them. The first stop is the queue entrance. As you approach the standby entrance of the queue, you'll see the listed wait time is posted on what looks like a dog tag. If you look on the backside of the tag, you'll see that it's not Slinky's tag, but busters. Andy's dog, he got for Christmas at the end of the first Toy Story movie. You'll notice that the address is 2-3-4 Elm Street, the house that the family moved to and lived in during the Toy Story film series. Okay, once you're on the ride and you leave the load station, you'll see the original box that Rex the Dinosaur came in from the Toy Store. And there's a lot to notice on this box. One, Rex is depicted as quite a menacing dino on the box, a big departure from the insecure Rex that we've grown to know. Next, you'll want to check out the price sticker on the box. Close inspection of the sticker reveals that Rex was purchased from Al's Toy Barn, the store owned by the villainous Al McWiggins of Toy Story 2. And also, that Rex costs $19.95, a reference to the first Toy Story being released in 1995. Alright, now, at the end of the ride, you'll see the Slinky Dog Dash box. Like every toy box, it has a barcode with a proof of purchase and a series of numbers corresponding to the barcode. If you read the numbers closely, you can determine that they weren't selected at random at all. The first half of the barcode reads 2-3-1986, the year that Pixar Studios was founded, and the second half, 10-1-1971, the opening day of Magic Kingdom. And finally, underneath the barcode, you'll see Made in Emeryville, California, exactly where Pixar Studios is located. So even though in Toy Story Land, the toys seem larger than life, be sure to always look around for the fun, small Easter eggs that are left there for you to find. [Music]
