Don't forget MS. The bin in the capsule is kind of small if you carry a large overstuffed backpack. I have always been able to get our backpack in (with some finess) which typically has my SLR, Video camera, poncho's and a half dozen bottles of water. For some people the CM has takent he bag and...

Also costumes cannot have any type of train (IE wedding gowns, capes, etc) that drags behind you. It is a safety issue. Greenheart22 (CM)

I have been a castmember for almost a year. They are going to ask you where you want to work. You can be very specific (Monorail driver, etc) or very general (Attractions, Merchandise, etc). Also you have to consider if you don't mind working outdoors. When you tell them where you would like to...

My question to everyone answering is this: When was the last time you went to Disney Quest? Disney has not let it go. They are adding new and popular games. All the arcade games are working. There is constant updating and refurb going on inside Disney Quest. Disney Quest is not for everyone...

Disneyquest is still in good shape. They recently added Guitar Hero on the fourth floor as well as heads-up poker machines. It is a great way to get away from the heat, rain, cold, etc and take a break from the parks.

Everybody needs to remember the DTD Westside only has 3 Disney sites: Disney Quest and the 2 Emporium stores. All the other stores, etc are particpating partners and they rent/lease the space on Westside. Greenheart22

The Sun N Fly-In in Lakeland Florida concluded yesterday. There were 2 F-16's and 2 F-18s there doing flying demos. They may have been returning to base and flew over WDW. Greenheart22

I live in Lakeland Fla and retired from AT&T about a month ago. I got a call from Disney Casting yesterday. I will be working part-time at Disney Quest. I have always dreamed about being a Castmember and now my dream has come true! Greenheart22

We have seen 4 Shuttle Launches from WDW. Our favorite place to watch is in Epcot. Stand on the bridge between Future World and World Showcase. Look just to the left of Test Track; that is where you will see the shuttle. We went to Epcot for the last night Shuttle launch. 5 minutes before the...

I would not wait to book. I have a friend who works at Disney Reservations and shs says most rooms are already gone. They only have rooms with king size beds left in most resorts. Unless you are flexible with the dates you are coming you may not be able to find what you want. Greenheart22

Myself and DW got to ride on the Hybrid bus yesterday. The first thing we noticed was that the bus smelled "new". It was very quiet and while we were waiting at our bus stop we did not hear it as it approached. A castmember manager riding on the bus says it runs on batteries until they run low...

We went to Magic Kingdom yesterday and the crowds were very light. The longest wait was for Space Mountain and that was only 30 minutes. All other rides were less then 15 minutes. Greenheart22

My daughter and son-in-law buy Disney Dollars. That way they can only spend what they save at WDW. Greenheart22

We attended Turtle Talk 2 weeks ago and a little boy asked "Do you ________ more then 8 times a day?" Crush responded, "Dude, I never ever thought about counting those."

My wife and I transferred from Georgia to jobs in Tampa in March '06. We bought a home in Lakeland (45 minutes from Tampa, 45 minutes from Disney World). The first thing we did when we arrived was to get our Florida Driver's liscences and the second thing we did was buy our Disney Annual Passes...
