Too bad it's not a week later. The most appealing thing about past ESPN weekends that I've attended is the coincidence with the opening of Grapefruit League play. Games don't start until the next week it looks like.

Sure you're not thinking of the model plane from Con Air?

I was at MGM all weekend for super soap with my family. I too was a little embarassed at the amount of profanity and sexual references going on at the shows and on the outdoor stage. I think it's just a product of the whole soap thing and trying to appeal to the average fan there for it. It's...

I was at MGM this past weekend on my daughter's b-day. We had gotten the "pin" at guest services but the response from CMs was pretty weak. A few of them wished her a happy b-day, but it was more in response to the shirt she was wearing that said she had come on her b-day to meet the soap...

Check out the San Diego Wild Animal Park.

Yea, beating on a washboard with a spoon...Woopee...

When did Horizons close? I was there about 11 years ago for the first time and it wasn't open then.

Here we go again...

At DCA the gift shop across from Soarin has some great things. My daughter got a plush wearing a leather bombers jacket with the logo on back. The detail on the jacket is great. The whole shop was full of aviation type things. That's where I think the theming falls short at WDW. They...

For anyone who has seen the Waterworld stunt show at Universal Hollywood and this show, how do they compare? That show is pretty impressive even though the movie was horrible. They do some amazing things with jetskis in it.

If only it were true.

The issue of updates with Pal Mickey was resolved in an article posted here a while back by one of the designers. What you get out of the box is it, no more. I think the term "update" is misinterpreted in these discussions. When you say showtimes, sure the signal to a Pal can be changed from...

It's funny how a lot of the replies are from those who have never been to Disneyland. The first knock against DL is often it's size, something like all of it would fit into the WDW parking lot. Well bigger isn't necessarily better all the time. I was pleasantly surprised with DL in comparison...

What's a glow medallion? I think it's been established that the Pal Mickey can't update. Having used one on three or four trips, an increase in show reminders and some wait time information would be nice. He does become mundane after a week or so in the parks.

Wow, what kind of mind altering voodoo is going on at the hoo dee don't. While the luau isn't the greatest thing I've ever done at Disney, that experience at the Wilderness Campground had me running back to the civilized Lodge faster than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
