A revised Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival Pin release memo was issued. Apparently, Mickey sent the memo...but he forgot to revise it..so as he was busy, Tinker Bell decided to send the revised memo, but the revised memo was not the original revision of the revised memo. So...Pluto said BOW WOW...and decided to go and dig up the secret documents in the back yard.....and lo and behold...the revision to the revision got revised but everybody "did not get the memo"... so Pluto wants to tell you that the Artist Palette is the LE 2500 and the Mickey and Minnie Dangle is the LE 5000.

Thanks Pluto!!
