It all started with this cryptic message posted online by Steven Miller, Project Manager for Disney Trading.
What ‘IS’ Vinylmation Jr?…and the Quest was on! Those sleuths ‘in the know’ found a series of seven puzzles online which had to do with “what Vinylmation Jr” was. These Disney Detectives tracked down the clues and solved the master puzzle which read… “Seek dude with VM Shirt @ West Side Bongo grass on 4/1 @ 13 and say Junior.” Can you guess who the dude was?

None other than resident Disney Uber Fan and Cast Member….Mr. Steven Miller! Did he arrive empty handed? Heck NO! Steven arrived with boxes of surprise vinyls in tow…
Surprise Vinyls
All that were savvy enough to figure out the clues and make it to the undisclosed location were treated to partaking in something very special. An “I WAS THERE” Vinylmation which we were all asked to sign! Wondering if this Vinyl will end up on display at Downtown Disney D-Street????
Very 1st "I WAS THERE" Vinylmation
After patiently waiting in line (there were less than 100 of us there) we were handed our surprise vinylmation bag and allowed to sign the special pink Vinylmation figure…
Excited to find out What Vinylmation Jr was!

Each bag contained a colored sharpie marker, blister pack with a surprise Vinylmation inside, along with some more clues as to when and where we could continue and complete the Vinylmation Jr Quest. Some folks were awarded 3″ Vinyls and some were lucky enough to get Vinylmation Jr’s! We were also given mini Vinylamtion Cards depicting all of the styles for Vinylmation Jr Series 1. Would you like to see them????? Well, the wait is finally over! Here are two in the flesh…

We were also treated to two brand new Vinylmation T-Shirt Designs today. Note that the back of the gray shirt that Steven Miller is wearing says “I’m The Chaser”…Very Cool! I am anticipating seeing these styles available for purchase at the Passholder Preview of D-Street in Downtown Disney this Saturday.

A big thanks goes out to Steven Miller and his team for putting on such a fun event. Keep your eyes on DisneyEveryday.com, as the Vinylmation Jr. Quest Still wages on. I will be updating the site on the next date we were provided in our secret Vinylmation Jr bags.
So what do you think? Which New Vinylamtion Jr. is your favorite?
Love this!!! I definitely want to do this next time. 🙂
That is too cool, gues i dont keep up with the stuff as much as i should, would been fun trying to find clues! I am a scavenge hunt junkie, whether it's online or IRL.
Oh my gosh…I love those…I want them all! So….my question – are they available now @ WDW? If so I know what I'm buying in 3 weeks! 😉
I will let you know if they are for sale at D-Street this Saturday
awesome! i was so confused by the whole 'what is vinylmation jr' concept but thanks for helping us solve it! So, are all of the “Jr's” keychains? or that was just a special thing they gave y'all?
Amanda, what a fantastic post!! Looks like you had a ball. So wish we could have all been there. Mary, Amanda and I have been going crazy trying to figure out what Vinylmation Jr. was! I want them all! LOL
Thanks so much for keeping us all in the loop! You are the best!
I was there… I think i saw you.. 🙂 I was #31… I was one of the other (few) people with the camera.
I am so excited that you were there Amanda! It sounds like it was so much fun! I am already a fan of these little guys and can't wait to see them. You did a great job reporting this. Thank you so much!
If you need me to pick any up for you just holler!
Hiya! Please introduce yourself next time! =) Would love to meet you! My bag was numbered #47. What did you get?
Thanks Mary. I think it would be cool to make a bracelet out of 'em. They have a tiny clip on them that can be detached from the keyring.
I got a Vinyl Jr Eye, and my dad (#32) got a Urban 3 Gear.
Also, of you use the papers they gave in the bags, they take you to Oh Mickey Vinyl Jrs check out http://vinylmationconnection.yuku.com for more information 🙂
Thanks for the info and congrats on getting a Jr!
Love this. i can't wait to add one to my collection. Sadly I have to wait until October
They are so very cute!
