Well according to our bus driver a few weeks ago, Disney is actually planning on opening two new parks by 2020. :lookaroun I had always heard about the infamous bus driver rumors, but never heard one for myself. Good stuff.

well we could keep going back and forth debating whether it was or wasn't the performers fault, but we'll really never know.... so how bout instead I just post this wardrobe malfunction that's not so "magic-ruining" :) A friend of mine was hanging out with Beast this day and I laughed so...

My three year old niece loved it, but only the second time around. The first time she just sat there and stared. She wasn't scared, just a bit overwhelmed. Granted, she fell asleep in line and we woke her up right before we jumped on. The second time around she liked it and pulled the trigger...

When worn properly, the chinstraps are tight enough that a bump in the back of the head wouldn't have been able to do that. Friendofafriend is spot on when he says that some of the characters' friends are just too lazy to do things as they should... looks like it's time for this tweedle to find...

nope- each day cast members are scheduled to hang out with a particular character. They might change during the day, but it would be a scheduled change with a location change

Face characters aren't equity. There are only a handful of people in the parks who can switch back and forth from an equity role to a non-equity role, and it is a fairly big thing

Sometimes the characters will be asked to sign birthday, anniversary, and other similar cards during their breaks. They'll have a big cardboard box full of them in the break rooms and just go at it whenever they have time Character integrity is simply that- keeping the integrity of the...

haha wow, good eye!

Spectro needs more than just an LED overhaul, the floats themselves would need major help. They're falling apart from just plain being old, termite damage to the wood, weathering, etc. I think that when it finally dies it will be gone for good. At one point, I heard talk of Fantillusion heading...

Yes, I think that would be best. I was in a very similar situation. It was very very hard for me to come home to finish school (I was going to extend) but I'm glad I did. The longer you're there at Disney, the harder it gets to go back to "real life" and finish school. I had a lot of friends...

It's not at all uncommon for entertainment CMs to do it- like another poster mentioned, sometimes you only have a few hours between an overnight rehearsal and then your normal shift the next day. It's not like it's not allowed- I had managers actually tell me to....:shrug:

I figured that after 26 posts, there would be more than one or two helpful answers!:lol: ok have you ever seen them do the sweeps before a hard-ticket event to get all non-party goers out? A bunch of CMs in a triangle start at a specific point in the park (say the back of Tomorrowland) and...

hate to be the one who ruins the positive response chain but.... My laptop did actually get stolen from my hotel room. BUT it was at the Clarion maingate (which is a Disney Good Neighbor Hotel), NOT an actual Disney hotel. Long story short- the night manager knew I was alone, made a new key to...

Thanks for that. This is such a sad but incredibly appropriate picture-your heart can't help but go out to Russi. RIP and thoughts and prayers to her and their family. More Jasmine and Aladdin? Ok.

keeping with the Aladdin and Jasmine winter wear theme, here they are at DLR
