    Does Universal copy Disney? Poll and Thread!

    Disney revolutionized the theme park into what we see today. That's a better way to put it. Walt and the Imagineers took theme parks into something immersive where each attraction was like stepping into the experience instead of the offerings of amusements parks and simple "rides" of the day...

    Which parade replaces the Main Street Electrical Parade in Disneyworld?

    I'm curious the fate of Paint the Night in DL if the Electrical Parade is moving there. Is Paint the Night moving overseas? I was holding out hope that something would be at WDW in July.

    SNA Airport Shuttle Association Thoughts?

    Here's first hand feedback from today albeit LAX, not SNA. While there were no issues with the service we caught the bus at 145pm. It was only about 4 minutes late so schedule was decent. The big drawback was an hour and 45 mins or so on the bus. I think we were the first stop at LAX of...

    My 50th Anniversary Disney Trip

    Definitely...in the air and ready to get to the parks. Chicago Midway to LAX. We'll see if the timing is good to make it to the Dis Express for 145 or the wait for 245.

    Disneyland hotel question

    We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel in 2008 prior to the most recent refurbs and I know it was expensive but that was a splurge. I don't recall which tower we were in but we had a view just over the tree tops of the ESPN Zone and DTD. The room was nice and large. I slept on the pull out and...

    59 years young!

    Thanks Raven, yeah, all I've found are the replicas as well. I do have some partial books from early visits. I think the oldest is from what I understand as a rare October 1966 printing. Some tickets were used but it does have one or two E tickets as well as the others. Fun to see what was...

    Do opening day tickets ever come up for purchase? I'd love to have one but might be out of my price range.

    How Many Days at DL

    Up till our visit out west in 2008 we always went for one day to DL. Of course on trips before then there was no DCA. WDW is the reason many of us started thinking about multi day visits. Hard to believe before Eisner DL was closed a couple days a week!

    home movies of walt disney

    That original film will continue to deteriorate. I would get have it professionally restored as well. There are some really charming videos on You Tube of the parks in the early years. Personally I love to watch them more than once.
