Sig Hansen from Northwestern @ Disney

I was there at 6 and the line looped around and ended out at the sidewalk.

I'm glad that we got there early. We were very lucky. After they opened the doors it took about 20 minutes to get to them. I would have waited hours!!!

 

[disneylover74]

Safetymom, were you there yesterday or today? Today they said was supposed to be very busy.

My DH is in Afghanistan, and we had to cancel our trip while Capt. Sig was there in Dec/Jan....My DH just booked me a SOLO overnight trip to Epcot as a surprise, but I have to get Sig's Sig on a ballcap for DH.
I am very excited.

We were there today, waited in the rain, and OMG it was SOOOO Worth it!!! Those boys are AWESOME!! My son had the time of his life, we got a few things signed, all the pictures are on a photo pass, so as soon as I get the CD, I might be able to post some pictures, but those guys are fun loving, down to earth, and just all around great guys. It was an experience that was well worth it. We waited an hour and a half in line, got there, bought a mug, and they signed it, posed for pictures with my son, talked really well with him, gave him quite a bit of attention, and then posed for pictures with me, signed our autograph book, and gave hugs as we left, it was just AWESOME!!! They smelled nice too If you can go, it's WELL worth it for the waits, they didn't just sign and let you go, they spent good time with each group. I had about 3-4 minutes with them. Did I mention they were awesome??? Does anyone else have any reports?

I was there at 5 pm on the 10th and they were already signing (They weren't scheduled until 6) I actually moved my PS at DHS back so I could be there. My son and I left the rest of our family at MK so we could be there in plenty of time. There were probably 75 people in front of me and we waited 1 hour and 15 min in the HEAT - but it was worth it. Sig and the brothers were so cool. His first comment when we walked up was that he was having a nicotine fit. He asked us which one of us was the fan and I said both of us. I told them I wanted to show my son what real men did for a living and his reply was "real STUPID men" so we shared a laugh. He told me that this is all he knows because he had been doing it since he was 14. They signed a couple of items for us and thanked us for coming out. One CM told us as they were standing in line that Sig called them and asked if they could come back and they said sure. Now I know why - Northwestern merchandise was flying off the shelves. (I bought about $100 myself).

These guys were so down to earth. They, unlike so many celebrities, believe in giving back of their time to us little people. I'm not talking about charity, just talking to the fans like we were in their living room.

There are a couple of pictures on our Blog.....

I was there Saturday and have amazing pics and an entire report, I'm uploading pics as we speak so I'll get them and said report up tomorrow but OMG...... EDGAR.....~swoon~ he SO made my day, in more ways than one.....he did the SILLIEST thing, but I wont spoil it till I put pics up! It was the best day of my life. No joke.

My husband is a huge fan of the show and he missed it by a week. Bummed!!! We arrive Friday. Are they still selling merchandise or was it just for this past weekend?

Thanks Jdpopp and Safetymom for the cool pics! I wish I could have been at Disney to see them. Our whole family loves the show.

We were also there Saturday, in the rain outside for over an hour... But in the end, my DD9 said it was DEFINATELY worth it. It takes something special to impress a girl that age

They were insanely nice. They chatted with you, they played with the kids (Sig especially!), Edgar is cute as a button, Norman was super nice, but seemed very quiet! I went alone with my two older daughters, and Sig said something about how cool it was that we were all girls . My younger DD7 was a little scared of them, she doesn't watch the show like my oldest and I do. They were absolutely fascinated by the silver Sharpie they used to sign a hat.

Sig also said he talked to Phil the day before, and he's doing really well!

Now here's the crazy thing....

We stood in this line for sooooo long, and in the rain, the heat, etc. We got to where we were about the 3rd group back, and some crazy lady came up to the family in front of me (who had 3 cute but busy little boys!), and said...

"The line is so long. Do you mind just getting my shirt signed, I don't want to wait".

She kept persisting, and the mom in front of me just was speechless! The CM finally stepped in and said, "Ma'am, they do know, they all waited in the line. You are welcome to join the line in the back".

The lady walked off in a huff.... only to come back 10 minutes later and ask me! I told her, as politely as I could muster, that I waited patiently in the line, in the rain... she could certainly do the same.

The coolest thing, was we were exiting the Norway ride later that evening, and were walking into the Puffins Roost just as the brothers were returning from a break - and Sig recognized my DD9, and made a quick stop to say hi to her - totally made her day .

Awesome pics it would've been cool to have been there to meet them

Met the Hansen clan yesterday, got in line at about 12:45 for the 2pm signing. We were probably the 5th family in line. They are so cool. My son asked them if they have gone on any rides, and Sig said that they went to Expedition Everest and had gotten dizzy. My son said how is that possible after being in a boat for three months at a time.
They were very nice, and I hope they come again.

I have to agree with your son...seems kinda strange. Glad to hear they were as gracious in person as they seem on the show.

My son said how is that possible after being in a boat for three months at a time.

Edgar apparently is always seasick the first few days at sea... but he's learned to just work through it.

 

[Puccaw]

I am sooo jealous of you all!

 

[ireland_nicole]

awww, I am so bummed I missed it! But thanks for ya'lls posts-at least I can live vicariously

Ok so I can finally get some pictures up.

Let's just say I was a nervous wreck. My respect/adoration for these guys holds no bounds. I adore them and respect them so much for what they do. I stood outside nearly two hours in rain for this and hardly minded. I had made good luck keychains for all of them as gifts and was so excited I was shaking. I have met ALOT of cool people but I knew this was going to be major for me.


So I stood in the rain, talked with other DC fans including a woman in front of me who was just as excited as me which was great. We had so much fun chatting over fave episodes and so on. The line moved so slow, and it kept raining so I looked like a disaster but I didn't care.


The line kept creeping closer, and I kept getting more and more antsy and excited. The woman in front of me, also excited beyond belief goes "Look it's Sig" so I peeked around the corner and grinned.

I had been talking "Edgar this" and "Edgar that" to her forever, and suddenly she grinned, grabbed me by my shoulders and goes..."Look it's Edgar" and she pushed me in front of her so I could see.

Oh I had been FINE up until that point, but my composure broke, I squealed and THIS is what I looked like.

TOTAL UNADULTERATED FANGIRL MOMENT


LOL!


Here's some shots whilst waiting in line.

Then it was my turn. I was so nervous, shaky hands and yes this is lame BUT I started tearing up, I actually did. This mean so much to me, I managed to choke it back a bit though and I marched right up to Sig, ok well my friend gave me a friendly push I should say. I was so nervous, but Sig saw me coming and he smiled at me and opened his arms and waved me over. So here I am giving the guys their keychains I hand-made them for good luck. Edgar looks as if he has no idea what to do with it, this is where hilarity ensued. In the pic above I was approaching them and Sig grinning totally put me at ease.

Here are the guys admiring their keychains, I was telling Edgar he was my favorite and I had named my cat after him and he gave me that gorgeous-heart-stopping grin. All you Northwestern fan girls will get it, I nearly passed out. Meanwhile Sig had put his hands on my shoulders and was admiring my shirt. I was in Northwestern heaven. And the infamous brother Norman who never speaks looks very giddy with his keychain here, but we love Norman anyways.

So Edgar says. "What should I do with this?" and Sig Responds "Pierce your darn {ok he didn't say darn but you can guess} nose with it." Edgar goes "Ok, I'll bleeping do it {again he didn't say bleeping, let's say the expletive started with an F ok?} but I really didn't think he would, so Sig and I start having this lovely conversation where he compliments me on my cool hair, my good taste in shirts and I'm telling him the Northwestern is the best boat in the fleet by far. He is so amazingly sweet, and thanked me for being such a huge fan. In the second one you can see him holding his keychain which he then proudly showed off to everyone standing behind us.

Well, remember what Edgar had said earlier? Look closely....yes that's the keychain IN HIS NOSE....he actually did it, I just looked over after talking with Sig and there it was...in his nose....and THEN he couldn't get it out. Norman is laughing hysterically and Sig says "Well I didn't hire my brother for his brains."

I had no idea what to do, I started laughing so hard. Edgar was flailing around screaming obscenities while Sig just stared trying not to laugh and Norman laughed hysterically. The people in line behind me were a bit far away so I know they hadn't seen the keychain, only Edgar flailing around like a lunatic screaming, I'm sure everyone was thinking ***?


Seriously I <3 Edgar.

Here we can see the guys signing some stuff, plus you can see my keychains.

Ok and SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Who wouldn't be happy stuck between Sig who has his arm around your shoulder and Edgar grabbing you around the waist? I died....

And even better, here Edgar is proudly holding his keychain of doom! Really, I don't smile in pictures, I couldn't wipe the grin off my face, I was on a emotional high for about 4 hours after this.

And lastly me getting a huge snuggle from Sig. Edgar is STILL playing with his keychain. After this Edgar pulled me over and gave me a huge hug of thanks, and I gave Norman a good hug to. Then I walked off, went the wrong way and had to walk back past them, Edgar turned around, grinned, waved and came back from behind the barrier to hug me again and tell me I was really awesome and to thank me. I was glowing.

Phew! Thanks for reading!


Oh funniest bit, Edgar signed his picture to me "Thanks for the bleeping {that isnt what he wrote but you get it} hole in my nose!" if anyone wants to see I'll take a pic of my signed stuff and post it.


And one last thing. Right before it was my turn I was literally in tears. I have so much respect for these guys for what they do that I just sort of broke down. My brain wasn't functioning and I was literally in tears. The boys noticed that as I walked up and Norman flashed me a huge grin, Edgar scooted over by Sig and Sig looked at my teary face and instead of going "What are you crying about?" he opens up his arms, gives me this huge hug that Edgar leaned into and hugged me as well and then he goes "Hey it's ok, thanks for coming out here. It means alot to us to have fans who really love us"


It was kind of cute to see the big, scary Norwegian go all nice and fluffy for a minute. He then jokingly looked at Edgar and goes "Back up man, your making her cry."

Edgar kid of made this face at Sig and I go "No actually I named my cat after Edgar." so Edgar grins and goes "See? She likes me better." and I say "Well the cat has no fear...and a little bit of an attitude problem." Norman and Sig laughed hysterically at the last bit and Sig said the attitude problem part was dead on.

Yea, I <3 these guys.
