To answer CSOM's question, there is (was?) a roller coaster in Disneyland Paris that is (marginally) themed after the mine car chase. I don't know if this is still true...haven't been to Disneyland Paris in, like, six years...

The only thing I want out of a queue is some AIR CONDITIONING which is almost non-existant in the AK. Besides, some video preshows are the best! The Muppetvision preshow, for example, is hillarious!

There are plently of places in the Animal Kingdom to see animals without waiting in line: 1) Bird Exhibits in the Oasis 2) Exhibits, such as otters and Kangaroos, around Discovery Island 3) The Maharajah jungle trail, and the Pangani Forrest trail 4) Monkey exhibit in Asia Also, how...

I must agree with kennyj29 here. I live in New York (for part of the year, anyway) and go to the Bronx Zoo often. While it is a great Zoo, it still has a lot of older enclosures, many of which are small and minimalist. How can you comepare any of the rodent houses at the Bronx Zoo to the...

Those of you who say that it is only a half-day park, I'm curious...do you ever do the nature trails? My family generally spends an hour on each one, at least. (My mother could probably spend all day on the Pangani forrest trail if we'd let her!:lol: ) This past trip, we must've spent 20...

They have one of those half-pipe things at my local water park (Honolulu). I went on it and it was pretty fun, but scary. THEN I found out that an employee had fallen off the loading area into the pipe and died! :eek: Now all the employees are harnessed to the top of the slide. Still, if you...

Last year, I was at Disney World over spring break with a friend of mine. We rode on Tower of Terror, and as we were getting off, one of the CMs came up to us and said "Did you enjoy your stay?" We just sort of giggled and nodded. He went on "Would you like to come back and visit us again?"...

Hee! I used to watch the Disney World Info channel, until we found the channel where they play old Disney cartoons! We must have watched "Lambert the sheepish lion" a dozen times!

Oh boy, is that the truth! It seems that fighting within a family is all too common at Disney World. I saw a woman swearing at her kid and slapping him because he decided he didn't want to go on Alien Encounters after all! Some people seem to forget that they are in public and will say...

You forgot an important choice in your poll...meeting characters! :lol: I always have to get my picture taken with Mickey, Pluto, Chip & Dale...plus, any new ones that might be about! This trip, we got Lilo and Stitch, Bullseye, Kermit, and Flik!

Fortuneately, I have not witnessed any fights, but I have often been the victim of aggressive ECV driving! On this most recent trip, a friend and I were walking along the path from Future World to the World Showcase (You know, the one with the roses?) We weren't moving too slow or taking up...

No, that's not a new feature, that's always been the way the fastpass works. Once you enter your return time "window" you can get another fastpass for anything you like. However, now you can also get another fastpass 1 or 2 hours after you got the first one. You cannot get one every five...

Yup, the Brer Rabbit animatronic was broken at least two consecutive days when I was there... not good. Also, the water didn't squirt over the boat in the Laughin' Place...have they just taken that part out, or was it broken, too?

Help! How do I delete a post? Stupid computer... PS. Yeah, it would be great if they had fastpasses for the Festival of the Lion king!

Two reasons that I can think of: 1) The fastpass guarentees you a seat, so long as you return during your window. During busy times of year, or at smaller capacity shows like "Who wants to be a Millionaire - Play it!" you might not get a seat if you don't show up half an hour in advance. Or...
