    The Haunted Mansion dining room table...

    The day they stop me and interrogate me about my over zealous interest in a ride and "make" me delete pictures is the day I tell them to stuff it in their mouse hole, I'm going to Universal from now on. And I have no problem believing that their data collection on people could spread into what...

    Richard Petty Driving Experience to close

    They don't have grandstands and food courts and rest rooms to maintain. I'm no expert but you would think about the only major upkeep is repaving every couple years. And it always seemed to be busy. AND it was an absolute rush ! Expensive but worth the splurge. And trust me Universal the young...

    Soarin' parodied on The Simpsons

    I loved the jabs about fast pass between Homer and Bart. It sounded like people here on the boards "discussing" things. They sure love zinging Disney, as in a previous episode when they are flying into Orlando and Homer spots a sign for Efcot "Ohhhhhhhh, it's even boring flying over it !"

    Driving to Disney advice

    At that time of day forget the 295 option or staying on I95. You will creep for hours from DC till half way thru VA. When you come thru MD on 95 you can go thru the tunnel or around the 695 beltway. If you are coming thru before 3pm the tunnel is usually fine and a faster route. After the tunnel...

    Driving to Disney advice

    One of my favorite stay awake treats are chocolate covered coffee beans. And if you need a REAL coffee hit a Pilot fuel stop. Not only do they all have a great truck stop store with tons of helpful stuff for being on the road they have special high caffeine coffee. We live in Baltimore and make...

    Trip Report I Know It's Not Going Away-And I Don't Like It

    If I'm reading things right you are coming up on your fifth trip to WDW ? Well I've been going since there wasn't any need to decide which park you were going to visit. And over the years they have been figuring out how to get more and more dollars, uh excuse me, people into the parks. They have...

    Trip Report I Know It's Not Going Away-And I Don't Like It

    We were in WDW last weekend for a last minute trip. Just a long weekend to take in some of the Christmas decorations. It was last a minute trip and I only made the reservations about 5 weeks in advance. At that time there were no "good" fast passes left for anything. Oh well they were going to...

    Pre-Trip Need Ft Wilderness Update

    Hi gang. I have seen pictures of mild flooding at Ft Wilderness. Now I know there have supposedly been a lot of storms down there lately but is this a regular thing ? We are headed down there in 9 days and was wondering if this is going to create major problems.

    Walt Disney World theme park parking fees set to rise tomorrow

    I have always felt that making you pay for parking when you are a "captive audience" ( by that I mean when there is no other realistic place to park for free ) is just downright greedy. Be it Disney or anyone else. Even building it into another cost is better than charging a separate fee.

    PUSH the Talking Trashcan's last day?

    I also hope this unfounded. I have seen him twice and it's always a hoot. The last time he was talking to the wife who coulden't understand him so he turned to me to see what her problem was and I was laughing so hard I could hardly answer him.

    AVATAR land coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Hey Beholder, nice wheels ! Oh yeah, and Disney should run away from Avatar as far and as fast as they can.

    Main Street Bakery to Serve Starbucks Coffee

    The tone of know-it-all arrogance, along with the "how dare you have an opinion that isn't ours" theme that has run rampant in this thread is the reason many have left this board. And after 36 pages of mostly "MY info and MY take on what is happening is right!" I can kinda see their point.

    Main Street Bakery to Serve Starbucks Coffee

    If they are just going to sell Starbucks items with no major changes to the outside of the building, fine. As has been stated already many other products have their names and logos prominently plastered on menues and behind counters. But to redo the whole store inside and out to be a typical...

    Do The Haloween Decorations Dissapear ?

    What happens with the decorations after midnight on Oct 31st ? Do they all dissapear ? I know a good number of them could probably be "rolled over" into Fall/Thanksgiving types.Thinking about planning a fall trip and I didn't think we wanted to be there over Haloween due to crowds but wanted to...

    WDW Theory.

    Even tho it's Disney and it's great I think it would loose some of it's zing if it was right down the street. I do believe that the road trip down is definately part of the fun too. But I believe as someone already posted "absence makes the heart wish it was at the Haunted Mansion" . . . . . ...

    Premium campsites @ FW

    The spaces I've seen there are huge. We stayed in loop 1800 and the fella in the space next to me had a 38 ft rig with a trailer on the back for his golf cart and there was still enough room to squeeze in a reg size car at the end of the space.
