What amuses me is it was down THE FIRST DAY it came back up. I happened to be at Disney for the first time since January on a quick trip with my 7 month old and was very excited it was going to be open for me to share with him. We got to the show by 10:30ish and were told "the family was...

We were scheduled to go to a MNSSHP last year on a day when it torrentially downpoured and thunderstormed the entire day. At EPCOT guest relations (the park we went to during the day) they couldn't do anything for us, but told us if we took our tickets to the Magic Kingdom guest relations they...

I was at the 9:30 show on October 2 and it was PERFECT. The torches were lit on the boats, the dragon worked great, and Sorcerer Mickey was there the whole time. Weird that someone else was there the same day (I assume at the earlier show) and it was not working. Not justifying in any way...

I'd be surprised if they got rid of Rafiki's - I know it's not nearly as popular as it should be, but there's a ton of backstage animal care facilities back there and I would think they would have to move those. I'm sure there will be plenty of LEDs and black lights and fiber optics, but I'd...

There was a group walking in harness gear towards the safari on January 7, working with a tour guide to adjust what they were wearing and get comfortable. I snapped a quick picture of them but I was on my way to Asia so I didn't stick around and ride the safari to see if they were testing out...

Yes he did! At first I assumed it was an official Disney photographer (he seemed to have more access than a normal guest with a nice camera) - but he wasn't wearing a badge or uniform from what I could tell so I couldn't decide if he was a CM or not. I briefly thought he might be someone...

were you the one taking these pictures? and did you go upstairs to take some looking down during the shadow choir? I was totally there for this showing of betsy ross/VOL and there was a guy taking a ton of pictures of everyone - I might have seen you and not known it was you!

Magic Kingdom felt EMPTY to me today. I came down expecting wall to wall crowds and I never felt crowded at all. The rain (which ranged anywhere from a comfortable drizzle to a downpour) helped clear some people out, but when we left the Magic Kingdom to head back to the Poly for the fireworks...

I'd love it if it was a Rivers of Light or other evening parade, but I'd be sad to see the daytime parade go! This is the only afternoon parade I've thought was worth watching more than once. Then again with all the changes in times, etc they've been trying to make to the parade in the past...

There are lots of shows at disney that are audience-participation based, but even the people that aren't picked enjoy the rest of the show. I think the issue with this one is that it's SO audience based that if you're a kid in the audience and youre not picked, it loses most of its appeal...

I'm assuming no one does, but if anyone knows a fairy godmother for this one, please contact me - I was supposed to be going down with a friend that had no interest in the event, but she had a family tragedy and can't go now, so I'm going to be in Disney for 4 days this weekend on my own. (I...

Idunno, I pretty much boycott downtown disney since PI closed...I used to go there to shop for a little before going to the clubs, and now that they're closed, I don't bother wasting a day (or even part of one) to go over there just to shop. If they had a show there that was a high enough...

I actually got the TIW discount applied for Polynesian Luau (which requires payment up front) - the CM asked me for an account number or a card number (which there isn't one on the TIW card I have) - so she just filled in 0's instead when I told her that, and it worked! I have no idea if they...

I normally only vaguely skim the Insider, but I saw this as well. Craziness! I was trying to figure out if they were planning on bringing new years eve back for the restaurants to celebrate or something. Way to rub it in, Disney. :fork::fork::fork:

It'll be like Main Street or the Streets of America around Christmas! *shivers* I'm going down this weekend just to cheer on the marathon runners - thank goodness for hot beverages, and good luck to the volunteers that spend a lot of time standing around ;( Hope everyone that lives down there...
