I had that happen once on ToT back in 2001. I was afraid another elevator would drop on top of us. We finally moved forward to the door and were able to get off but it sure was nerve wracking sitting there in the dark knowing we were still in the elevator shaft. I am not sure how it all works...

We did not get there last year but we did go in Dec. 2010. We did not get in line too early. We had seating for the second show, the first show was finishing up as we walked past trying to find the end of the line. We found it down near Morocco. Once the theater is empty from the previous...

I loved the store that was there back in the 90's. I have a few things from that store. Most of what was sold in that store could only be found in that store. I have a castle t-shirt that I love (but don't wear much) from that store. Several years ago I had it on in the MK. While waiting in...

I have seen Candlelight at least 10 times. I love to go to Disney during the first two weeks of December. Never have I seen Epcot close due to crowd levels. That time of the year is not as crowded as other times, especially Christmas week. You should be able to leave Epcot and come back the...

It is nothing like the poutine I had when I was in Nova Scotia, which was fantastic. What I have had at Le Cellier was good, just not the same as what you get in Canada. I hope you enjoy it! Have a wonderful trip! :wave:

Back in the mid 90's my brother had his wallet fall out while on Space Mountain. It did not take him long to realize, just a few steps outside. He went back inside and a CM took him up to the ride operators and someone had already turned it in, nothing missing!! Fantastic. In 2008 I left my...

We saw them twice while there in December 2010. Before that I had never seen them. The first time was during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. It was dark and we almost did not see them because of the crowds. Disney employees were standing in a line blocking the view. An elderly woman...

I have a couple of really special ones. The first would be of my youngest daughter when she was 2. It was her first time meeting Mickey up close and personal and the expression of pure joy on her face is priceless. The next would be from our December 2010 trip. Both daughters (7 and 5 at...

Cinderella's wishing well is a must do picture each time and we also like the Snowman near Mama Melrose. Our daughters have had their picture taken there each time we have gone. Kind of a neat picture to see how they are growing up...too fast for me but still a cute picture.

I saw a news report today about gas prices. They were talking about how it is close to $4.50 in California but it then showed a station in Orlando where the price is $5.89. What a crazy price there. The report did not say where in Orlando that gas station was located, probably right outside...

I have not been during the summer yet....I am sure it is coming though as our daughters get older. It may be harder for them to miss school so we may have to look at a summer trip down the road. My question to you seasoned summer visitors....are the pools really cool? I find it hard to...

I was told that same "rumor" back in the mid 90's by a waiter at 50's Prime Time. Maybe he heard the rumor from a bus driver!

We went the last week of April 2008 and it was very crowded. Easter was the beginning of April that year. Since a lot of schools have an April Vacation there were tons of families with kids there. We had to fast pass everything and missed a lot but our daughters were also 2 1/2 and 4 so we...

Anyone know how long before the "official" opening they do the soft openings? We are planning an early/mid December 2013 trip, and thought we would get to see everything open by then. I hate to push that trip off because Christmas is my favorite time to go. Could we hope for maybe a soft...
