Hello, all. We're going to be in Southern California for a long weekend in early December and plan to get 1-day Park Hopper tickets for Sunday, December 12. My gut instinct is for us to start at Disneyland Park and hop over to Disney California Adventure some time after the 1:00 p.m. park...

I went to DHS yesterday. I arrived a little after 6:00 a.m., was near the front of the group waiting to get into Galaxy's Edge by the tunnel shortly after 7:00, and got on the MDE app immediately prior to 8:00, using a wifi hotspot to avoid Disney's wifi. I still ended up in Boarding Group 98...

The San Diego Zoo has one, and I still consider that to be a pretty fine zoo!

Yes, but a lot times Mr. Wizard had just a little bit of a scowl, and he kind of fussed at those kids sometimes, kind of an anti-Mr. Rogers vibe.

Agreed!

But . . . those POTC boats do "swamp" if the boat is full and the weight isn't evenly distributed. We rode it on Saturday morning, and my youngest son got a shoe full of water, plus wet shorts and a wet right side of his shirt. If I recall correctly, it happened at the bottom of the drop. We...

And the reference to the black light and the Jackson Pollock painting . . . yikes. Thankfully, that goes right over the head of my kids.

I agree on Epcot. It looked great. As a side note, two of my kids tried Beverly soda at Club Cool on the way out of Epcot. Their reactions were comic gold! Quote: "It's like the taste in your mouth after you vomit."

My family stayed in adjoining studios at the Polynesian using DVC points for part of last week. We were at Blizzard Beach last Wednesday, Epcot and Hollywood Studios last Thursday, Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom on Friday, and Magic Kingdom on Saturday. Our approach (other than the day at...

I'm having visions of the Van Buren Boys.

Hmmm. If it's right on the water's edge, then my ingenious solution does just kind of fall apart. :)

I believe I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but has any consideration been given to using an Eiffel Tower-theme for the last gondola tower before dropping down into the International Gateway terminal? It seems to me like Disney could take care of several sightline issues by building an...

I wish it was. You have good instincts. :)

Is it possible to incorporate an Eiffel Tower replica into/onto the last gondola tower before the International Gateway? I know there was talk of themed stations, so why not add one themed tower where it is most appropriate?

My sincere hope for both of you (watching intently from downtown Birmingham) is that Orlando gets nothing more than a manageable amount of wind and rain.
