The Old, Old, Old Disney Days! Back in the mid 1980's, Disney did a film that was rather widely circulated in the corporate world (and government too) about the Disney organizational structure. The basic idea was that CM's that directly serve the public come first (i.e. ride operators...

Well, the bad news is that we cut our trip short. However, the good news is that WDW was so low on visitors, we were able to do everything we wanted to do in half the time! Every attraction and every restaurant in every park was a walk-on! The Disney transportation system was (almost)...

Well, Hurricane Isadore or not we're going to WDW! I sent my fax to the CRO with my room preferences on Tuesday and also picked up my Monsters Inc. DVD at the Disney store. While I was there I cashed in more Disney Store gift cards for Disney Dollars (have $350.00 now). I also checked with...

Have you ever been the "victim" of an aggressive CM? For example, one that won't take no for an answer when you have decided to "not participate". Have you ever been chided by a CM for your refusal to get on a ride?

I went to my local Disney Store today to stock up on Annual Pass vouchers to avoid the price increase (i.e. $354.04 now vs $375.24**a savings of $21.20) that goes into effect on 9/11. I wanted to buy 12 AP's but the store only had 6 left, darn. I was surprised and pleased to find out that the...

What do you do in the way of preplanning for your trip to WDW? We're getting ready to visit starting 9/21 and I have all ready bought all the tickets (AP's). I bought two pair of New Balance MW755 walking shoes today and I am breaking them in prior to the trip. I bought a dozen pair of double...

Effective September 19, 2002 Test Track will be closed in order to resurface the track. I have not gotten word on the date that the work is scheduled to be completed.

As you may know, WDW has a lot of bathrooms. I have visited some of them and have noticed that the WDW custodial staff does a wonderful job in keeping the restrooms clean. My hat is off to them! However, I have also noticed that some "users" of the restrooms just don't practice proper...

If anyone is planning to order anything from www.disneystore.com, don't order via the Internet. Instead use the 1-800-237-5751 number. The Fall 2002 Disney Store catalog has a lot of good deals and free shipping (code 2XLUX) plus if your order is over $65.00 you get a free $15.00 gift card...

One of my daughters works at our local Wal-Mart. She is well known as the local "Disney Expert". Vendors regularly give her promotional pins to wear for various movies. Today she got pins for "Return To Neverland", "The Rookie" and "Monsters, Inc". She also has a box full of previous Disney...

When I was a young man, several common expressions were used to denote cheap or inferior work. The most ubiquitous expression of this sort was, "That's Mickey Mouse". A cheap car such as a Yugo was "Mickey Mouse". Bad shoes or out of fashion clothes were also called, "Mickey Mouse". I...

The man who animated Jiminy Cricket and made significant improvements to Mickey, died today in CA. He did a lot in Tomorrowland too. He will be missed!

Vivendi Universal lost about 40% of its value today and there is great concern that they may not be able to pay their debts. As a result, Universal Orlando could shortly be only a memory. Check out this link...

I hear they are going to put cameras in the WDW Haunted Mansion and take your picture along with your "hitchhiking ghost". The cameras should be operational sometime this fall.

I purchased all of the "Vault Disney Collection" DVD's that were recently released. I haven't seen them all yet but, based upon the advice of a friend, I watched portions of disc 2 in the Swiss Family Robinson set. Just the Walt Disney Presents, "Escape To Paradise" show and the excerpts from...

I bought the new "Old Yeller" DVD last week and just got around to playing it. It hangs up bad on chapter 6! I have four different DVD players (1 Sony Play Station, 1 Sony DVP-NC600, 1 Phillips and 1 Hitachi) and they all hang on various parts of chapter 6. Anyone else have this problem or do...
