I've heard this said before, but don't think it's true. http://www.rcdb.com/installationdetail2747.htm The cross ties do look a little different though...

A great many people, myself included, go to these boards for useful advice and information while planning future trips to the parks. That information is worthless if it is not accurate.

Yes, I remember I loved it when I rode it as a kid. It must have been in '76 or '77. I must admit I have not yet ridden AE although I have been to MK many times since it opened. Having small children we've always skipped it. In fact, my 4 year old has been on every ride at WDW except RR (not...

This past Jan/Feb I thought the parks where in very good condition and the CMs quite friendly. There was a lot refurbishment going on, but that goes with the time of year (off-season.) Illuminations was as spectacular as always; we saw it 3 times. Did you use Fast Passes? Using FP when ever...

I love animal kingdom! As with all Disney parks it's more about immersion than just rides and Animal Kindom tops the other parks in that. Your really feel like you have travelled to the jungle or African savanah. It blows me away to see aerial photos of the park. The support buildings and...

On our recent trip to WDW, we visited the Once Upon a Toy store in Downtown Disney. The kids loved all the make your own Disney Mr. Potato Head accessories so filled the $16 box with the Disney hats, shoes, ice cream bar, balloon, autograph book, etc. They already had a couple of Potato Head's...

Its been two years since our last visit to WDW and though I regularly follow this website. I was suprised to find the tram ride at Living Seas no longer in operation. A CM told us it had been down for over a year. Does anyone have anymore information on it. Is it being rethemed or did it simply...

The worst thing about Spectro Magic is that it replaced the Main Street Electrical Parade. I can't imagine a Magic Kingdom evening without it, however not having seen Spectro Magic yet I will reserve judgment until February! Hopefully the video clips I've seen don't do it full justice. P.S...

Perhaps they were in school learning the difference between no and know!

Doesn't the material (thin cardboard) seem kind of cheap for Park Hopper tickets? You would think after paying hundreds of dollars they could give you something a little more substantial since they must withstand several days of sweat, suntan lotion, FastPass machines, water rides, (rain?) I pay...

We got great front row seats without a problem between Italy and Germany; in front of the model train. The Future World side is usually packed as people seem to be in a hurry to wait in line at the bus and monorail stations as soon as the show is over :animwink:

When did they remove characters from Future World? I have pictues of Mickey, Pooh, Eeyore, and Pluto just south of the big fountain taken in early 2001. They are in their standard costumes, not in future garb.

The darkness plays tricks on your perceptions. For instance, the top speed of Space Mountain is a mere 28 mph. (That fact blew me away when I first heard it. I would have guessed it was around 45 mph!)

Do they still offer the baby swap for little ones too short to ride at WDW? I have seen the baby swap option mentioned on this forum (dated about 1 year ago) as well as other unofficial Disney World sites, however I can't find any info on it at the official Disney website and when I called...

We took our daughter to Magic Kingdom when she was 1 1/2 and did all four parks when she was 2 1/2 and used a light weight umbrella stroller both times. It worked out great. There are virtually no steps or stairs in any of the parks to worry about. We hung a backpack type diaper bag on the...
