Hey Folks. It's laughable to me that Disney is making a presentation to a man who has been a trailblazer in CGI, extreme special effects and the most immerse 3D ever with a scale model. Don't get me wrong i love scale model making but is this really impressing the guy? Seems to me that you...

Avatar Land fan base Hello. Just my opinion but when AVL was announced i was surprised, not really excited and definitely not opposed but hopeful of having a new themed land. I sat and listened to pros and cons but in the end i have concluded that i can't see Avatar having the staying power...

Principle Mechanical Engineer Hello all. So while watching the discovery video linked in a previous post i thought to myself... lets try to contact the principle mechanical engineer featured in the video- John Van Oort- surely someone can find out how to contact him... well unfortunately he...

Best bathrooms If you want cool, clean and quiet with very little traffic, i'd have to say the rooms outside the International gateway ticket booth, outside the Odyssey restaurant building in Epcot and the rooms outside the Lights, motors, Action show before any shows start or between shows...

2 Days. Yippee!

Better than LaNouba Hello. In my opinion i enjoy the Festival of the Lion King more than even LaNouba. I think it is a much better produced and all-around more entertaining show than the over priced LaNouba, all included in the price of park admission. And i believe the Simba AA to be one...

New EPCOT Pavilion Hello. Perhaps they were discussing plans for a Saudi Arabia pavilion in World Showcase to provide a positive image on a modern middle eastern Muslim country. Maybe the Saudi's will kick in the cash to build it. MikeB

POP Preferred Rooms/ Buses Hello. We have stayed at many different Disney resort hotels. The Pop is our favorite for a few reasons. It is a good value if you luv to be on-the-go at the theme parks, we don't spend much time in our room, if we want a relaxing type of vacation we take a cruise...

Easy money This seems like the best way to get around the rules...lol MikeB

Pools and Resorts First of all, this is MY opinion, if u think ill of it...i don't care! I know all the pros and cons of pool hopping, and in heavy peak times i realize visiting guests may cause overcrowding and no chairs for the resident resort guest, however that is an extremely rare...

Ponchos Hello. We always go to our local Dollar store and but several rain ponchos. They are a 2 pack for $1. We always keep a pack with us daily in the event of a quick shower or wet ride like splash mountain. If the forcast calls for more steady rain then a larger vinyl poncho cover a...

Ioa Hey Nick A. My wife and i went there on nov. 2. We called Mears to schedule a pick up, they gave us several options for a pick up time, we choose 7:30am. They pick us up promptly, we did make a pick up at all stars but we were at Universal by 8:05am. We just walked around for a bit, the...

Sept. Crowds Hello. That is the best time ever to go to WDW. There is always a promo going on at that time, usually free dining and the week or 2 or 3 after labor day are the lightest i've ever seen. I've been there 6 times in sept and it is great. It is still summer hot and the park hours...

Halloween Day Hello. On Halloween day oct. 31. are there many people dressed up during the day at the magic kingdom? Also do the cast members dress up on that day during regular park hours or only for the party? Thanks, MikeB
