I do not know if this is the right slot for this question, but we just got our pictures back from our trip and nearly all the night shots of Spectromagic, Wishes, and Illusions are blurry. My wife has not yet mastered the night shot feature on the camera and I did not take any with the digital...

Final Day – Magic Kingdom Well, I hate to say it, but today is it. Even though we don’t leave until Friday and the Ultimate Pass allows us park entrance until closing on that day, we decided that this would be it. Jeanne has a cousin that lives in Orlando that we would visit on Friday...

Epcot / Cirque Day Can you believe it is already Wednesday? Man, this time is just flying by. Another beautiful day to start. The forecast is for rain later in the day, so we shall see. We get to the bus stop plenty early for our early entry day. Dum dee doo dee dummmm. The busses seem...

Disney-MGM Day After a couple of late nights, we decide to sleep in a little and don’t hit the bus stop until just before 8 a.m. Hey, where’s the bus? A longer wait than usual. Hmmmm. From there, the bus whisks us away to the “Studios”. I’ll say it now. . .I really liked the look and feel...

Animal Kingdom Day. Again, we got up early enough to use our early entry hour. Strollers here have the two bucket seats but the shade is not attached on the sides so you can’t put something on the top (found out the hard way as the girls had the backpack crash into their laps). After a...

Luckily a day and a half in the car really wore out the girls and they hit the sack as soon as we got back in on Saturday night. Another good thing is that since we are in the “School Season” the girls are used to getting up early. That being said, we brought Kellog’s ceral boxes and milk so...

This is my first stab at a trip report so bear with me. We had left Cincinnati on Friday at about 2:30 heading for Macon Georgia. Departure weather was mid forties and rain. We were making great time until an accident on Southbound 75 just north of Atlanta ground traffic to a halt. Luckily...

Hello everyone. I have heard of people Pre-paying strollers, i.e. paying for a stroller on the day you arrive for the balance of the days you will be on property and then showing your reciept each day to get your stroller. Anyone ever done this. . .wow nice sentence. . .

It has been mentioned more than once that it is a good idea to try and request a building/room prior to arrival. I know there are no guarentees, but I will do this anyway. We have our list of requests for Carribean Beach, now the question is, How do you do it? Can anyone provide me with the...

Getting to the point that we are going to be requesting a building number/location. Any recommendations? I have been looking at the map and I think Aruba 51 and Jamaica 45 look pretty good. My next three would be Aruba 52, Trinidad North 31 and Jamaica 46. Couple of more questions. . .Can...

This week, we will mark our 90 day window until our trip in November. That being said, we are thinking about doing a meal at Chef Mickey's (probably breakfast) on Monday - the day we plan on going to AK and the Princess breakfast in Norway on Wednesday - the day we plan on doing Epcot. One of...

New announcement for PKI. A mini Cooper Ride. Look familiar???? Paramount Pictures’ The Italian Job™ Premieres as a High-Speed Mini Cooper™ Stunt Car Ride at Paramount’s Kings Island in 2005 Stunt drivers dodge near-collisions, chase through tunnels and narrowly escape massive...

With the playing of the Hall of Fame Game last night, the NFL season has officially begun. Sure, it was just the first pre-season game, but with the live telecast, the NFL will now be higher up on the talk shows. That being said, how will your team do this year?? I know there are alot of...

I think something like this has been posted but here goes. . . Does anyone out there have a 'Pre-Trip' activity or ritual if you will prior to hitting the road for Florida? Since this is our first trip as a family, we have decided to make each Wednesday night, up to departure date, a...

How about a thread to talk about all things SPECKISH. They do not have to involve our own resident Speck76, but may if you would like to include your own insight into this most rare of creatures. I'll start, I wake up every morning with eye goobers that my daughter calls "corner specks"...

your butt. Didn't think I'd say it did you? With the disturbing Saddam tattoo on Gary's butt, I thought we could spend some quality time together, in small or large groups, discussing our butts. Mine is no where near the perfect dimensions of George Michaels (Dana Carvey's skit on SNL)...

Just got my Cirque tics on-line last night - w00t. The seats are in the lower left/center section, row G, center of the section. So those of you in the know, How are these seats and what are my kids, wife and I in for??? Thanks in advance for the responses. Just starting to get real as...

I have a hard time believing this came from Robin Williams, but here it is for your reading enjoyment (or disgust) THE ROBIN WILLIAMS PEACE PLAN This may very well be the best thought out item we have read since 9/11/01. Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan ...

When thinking of new rides, be them of the uber-themed variety or the thill type, how big as in tall is too big. I think someone posted that Everest is going to have a 80 foot drop and a ride like Millinium Force at Cedar Point is over 300 feet. If you were going to create a new ride, what...

With all the success of 3-D films lately, I was wondering what stories would you like to see made into animated movies. I would love to see how current animation would handle the On Watership Down story. One of my favorite books of all time.
