cool Disney pumpkin

College Station, TX(Zone 8b)

I don't know if this is in the appropriate forum, but my husband and I are from Texas so I'm posting it here. We went on vacation to Disney in Florida in December. Our favorite park was Epcot; they had Mickey pumpkins in the "Land" exhibit. They create them by placing the pumpkins in forms as they're growing. I thought they were really cool!

Did they show you how the forms were made?

Yes, they did show us how the forms were made. They were 2 piece plexiglass type frame, held together with screws. The forms were clear, and were placed on the pumpkin when it is tiny. The forms stayed on the pumpkin (on the vine) until they filled the forms. They also do this with other goards and cucumbers. It was really cool, we toured their "public" greenhouse.
