This is good to hear. Rumors had been spreading that Disneyland wouldn't get any of the turkeys this year, so one is better than none!!

My son always likes to see the turkeys. We'll have to go visit after we see Santa.

Pardoning turkeys is a bad idea. Turkeys may not be that bright, but a good attorney could site precedent and receive a pardon for ALL turkeys. Have fun eating chicken on Thanksgiving.

You know, Ben Franklin wanted the Turkey to be our (USA's) National Bird. Somehow we ended up with an Eagle instead.

I know they're trying to save money, so keep an eye on that turkey. If you see some extra large legs show up in one of those ODV carts, you'll know what happened. :evil:

I just watched the President's speech as he pardoned the turkey. I thought it was funny how he says he enjoyed being President, but then he has to do things like pardon a turkey and send them to Disneyland. He also said it was a good thing, because he would have eaten the turkey.

Re: Presidential Pardoned Turkey lands at DLR Nov 26th.

I always wondered what happens to the turkey pardoned from the previous year? I know the new turkey takes its spot on the ranch, but what happens to the old one(s)? Do they just keep them somewhere offstage, as some sort of legless pets?

I just saw last years Turkey on Halloween day so I know he was still alive on that day. So the new Turkey maybe with the old Turkey by tomorrow or is it today.

I think these Turkeys are bread for getting fat quick and don't tend to live a long time. So who knows.....
