Defending the honor of the WDW turkey leg...

**MissDisney** · 11-04-2004

Doggone-it,, I have been lurking around the Restaurants section of the forum, and I have read yet another mean-spirited comment about the famous WDW turkey leg! Let me just state for the record that the turkey leg is my absolute favorite treat at WDW, and with good reason: Each one can feed a family of four for a month, and when you are done, you can dry the bones and make a musical instrument out of them. In Frontierland, I once saw a turkey leg jump into the water to save a little child who had fallen off a keelboat. And on Hollywood Boulevard, a turkey leg stopped right smack dab in the middle of the street to sign autographs for each and every child who wanted one. You can find turkey legs every afternoon in the TTC parking lot, helping families figure out which white rental car is theirs. And who doesn't appreciate the hard-working turkey leg who makes those fabulous balloon animals for all the babies on Main Street? Huh? What about him? And most recently, we were in line for Space Mountain behind a 7-year-old kid who was just too scared to get on the ride. His family was no help, and he was so sad. Well, you guessed it -- a WDW turkey leg came to the boy's rescue! The leg gamely rode the coaster with the boy, who never would have had the courage to go it alone.
So there... now who wants to malign the leg?

ROLF. I love the turkey legs. I can`t go without them when we go to Disney, although they have fought back before...

**cinderbella** · 11-04-2004

never had the turkey leg...........but latley for some reason when i get excited and do my 'going to disney soon dance' my boyfriend starts doing his 'we're going to dinsey soon so he can get a turkey leg dance'.......did i mention hes never had one either.....but hes actualy looked up on allearsnet.com how much they cost and hes made sure that we've budgeted for it....

**Dana** · 11-04-2004

I once saw a helpful turkey leg lend a guy money for lunch when he lost his wallet. I love the helpful turkey leg, but I can't eat them. I feel like I am killing a friend. It's not that the smell make my stomach turn or that my one and only time I ate one it made me sick and gave me the "runs", it's because it just not right to eat something that does good deeds like the mighty turkey leg...lol this is silly..lololol love it.

bumble · 11-04-2004

My DH loves them, he gets one every time we go!!! They are very helpfull. After all, he can't talk well when his mouth is full, so I get to pick where we go next, lol.

**roxie** · 11-04-2004

I hate Turkey Legs, but now....I think I just misunderstood the noble legs.
Thanks for the insight.

tiggerfan74 · 11-04-2004

My Dh also gets one everytime we go. He has to have one. It's just like a ride you can't miss or a show you need to see. They are a very important part of WDW.

GrumpyDad · 11-05-2004

Ah, but there is a dark side to them as well. If you should ever be around Fantasyland at night you can sometimes find them plotting and smoking mesquite along with the dolls from IASW. And I have heard that bands of them troll about the tunnels under WDW looking for unsuspecting pirates. Also there have been more then one occasion when a drunk turky leg has made rude comments about the skinny human legs on some poor soul.

Beware the jabberwacky and the turky leg says I !

I always wondered what evil lurked inside the parks at night...! But I am sure that the turkey legs accused of smoking mesquite are JUVENILES, who will one day grow out of their youthful ways and become the heroes they are meant to be! In fact, I just read some research in the New England Journal of Medicine that this juvenile prankishness is actually the secret ingredient that gives adult turkey legs their succulent flavor and heroic ways.

aloha_stitch · 11-05-2004

ROFL. This thread is so funny! Where do you guys come up with your ideas?

mwalter · 11-05-2004

I'm sorry, but I just can't defend anything that smells that bad! Can't do it.

Erin · 11-05-2004

You think they smell bad?!?!? LOL!
They smell SO good!

**MissDisney** · 11-05-2004

Yes! They smell great, and I once even saw a lady in Paris dab a bit of WDW eau de turkey behind each ear...
