Back on June 28th Disney put the following on their What's HapPINing blog...
At one point, it seemed they were having some technical difficulties with their interview. There were these strange screens that someone put in the presentation. They said something like, "They Are Real!" We aren't sure what the screens meant but we did see a website address on one of them. It said, findthedeebees.com. We tried accessing the site but it doesn't appear to be working right now. We'll keep watch as we'd love to know how someone put those slides in the presentation.
Well FindTheDeeBees.com has now launched and I still don't know what it is. But it's related to Disney pins and it's new, so there you go. Check it out!
