Yeah, mentioning the Glimmering Greenhouses and not the GotG Christmas overlay would make it seem that way. I wasn’t a fan of it personally, they should have just gone with classics like Last Christmas or Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime rather than trying to do a song parody. Too much...

Did something strange happen today? I clicked on the button exactly at 7, and it was gone instantly. I’m pretty experienced in this, so it isn’t me fumbling around with anything.

They’ve been gone for a while. Not sure exactly when, but they added free lockers and subtracted the center storage console.

Well, Speedway is all gas powered cars and has no ride system that needs power.

The local news here in Orlando (WESH 2) teased a "sneak peek of the ride before it opens on Friday." At first I figured that was just misleading grammar (is the opening on Friday or is the sneak peek they will show on Friday?) but the anchor said "Now, the ride doesn't open until Friday, but...

Waldo was never hand drawn. He was the first digital Muppet - a computer program that could interpret someone's movements in a digital glove and turn them into a real time animated character on the screen. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Waldo_C._Graphic

Not Give a Day vouchers. Almost anything else, yes, but Give a Day is only redeemable at the parks. The lines move pretty quickly.

Spectro, and all of the Genie's appearances at DisneyQuest are Castalanetta.

We're concerned with keeping the 1 year storyline intact at the same place that celebrated the 1937 Open house every day for almost 20 years?

People have a lot of different opinions on that subject, but I can't say I've ever tipped a housekeeper myself. If there was some god-awful mess that I created I would feel compelled to do so - or I would attempt to clean it myself. It's also harder to tip a housekeeper - do you tip every day...

Tokyo Disneyland wanted things to be as similar to WDW as possible when it opened - cost effective, and popular. When they designed Paris, they really had to go all out, because there are REAL castles just around the corner - so they couldn't do something that was just stylized like Tokyo or...

Why there's nothing on earth like a genuine, bonefied, electrified 6 car monorail!

Just got back from riding - rode twice, sat in the front and then in the back - the two sides weren't different at all. I thoroughly enjoyed the queue too, they did a really good job.

The Carousel of Progress has moved from New York to Disneyland to WDW. And I believe Mickey Mouse Revue (formerly in the spot where Philharmagic lives) was moved to Tokyo. Parades move all the time - how many parks has the Main Street Electrical parade played in now? However, I don't...

Make sure you don't confuse operating a theme park with designing a theme park. UCF's Hospitality Management program gave me a great education surrounding how to run a theme park, but if you want to be an imagineer you should stick with a core discipline of WDI like Engineering, architecture...
