    Are animatronics becoming extinct?

    OK, I understand now. Lucky was the dinosaur I was referring to in my earlier post about what was being worked on. I was not aware of the one you are referring to.

    Are animatronics becoming extinct?

    Checking in late at night

    I've never checked-in late at the Contemporary, but we've arrived after 10PM at several other resorts without a problem. They do the room assignments 3 days (I think it is 3, maybe 4) ahead of time, and it is not based on check-in time.

    Anoying Guest Habits

    I've never been a character, but I bet it get's pretty annoying to constantly be asked, "Is it hot in there?" Not only is the answer fairly obvious, it also takes away from the experience of kids that may be around.

    River Country Details

    I would imagine that it was closed as part of Disney's staff cutbacks. Considered by most to be the inferior of the three water parks, I would be surprised to see it ever reopen.

    River Country Details

    The official word is that River Country is closed until further notice. There was talk of converting the property into a pool for WL and FW, but I haven't heard anything official, and it seems to be a bit far away for that purpose. As far as M:S, the attraction is definitely open. The...

    Anoying Guest Habits

    Good one Brer Stitch. How about people who are walking and yelling into there cell phone describing everything that is going on. Sometimes it is so loud, I don't think the other person needs a cell phone to hear.

    Anoying Guest Habits

    It seems that there are several levels of annoyance. The first level consists of actions that people do while not thinking clearly. I think we have all experienced the 'Disney Fog' effect where our brains are frantically trying to absorb everything that we sometimes forget where we are...

    Anoying Guest Habits

    Smoking outside the designated smoking areas. Spitting on the ground.

    Fingerprint scanner?

    ImagineerGurl- Just have your dad go to guest services and re-issue his annual pass. When they do this, they will reset the finger scan. This happens to my wife all the time as well. Not sure why. s25843- Oh, I see now. You had me thinking I was stupidly putting in two fingers when I...

    Fingerprint scanner?

    Badger- we found the process very quick. Of course, it all depends on the lines at the ticket booth and at the turnstile. Once we hit the ticket window, it only took about 2 minutes to get our passes. The first time you go through the turnstile, they take the finger scan. This only takes a...

    OK, let's try one that is easy, and is a ride at WDW :) "Did you remember to turn off those robots?"

    Are animatronics becoming extinct?

    While the number of AA is being reduced, I think the imagineers are putting their effort into making them much more complex. Efforts were under way to make a completely self-contained, reactionary AA character- one that could walk without being tethered to a computer and provide simple...
