There is a pretty easy way they could add some randomness to the film without going digital... The ride is only about 3 minutes long, but I believe most film reels can hold 15-30 minutes of footage. (someone with more knowledge about this can correct me) This means that you could, in theory...

$10 says that when the Epcot version is changed, the DCA version gets changed as well - even if it's just advertised as a temporary overlay. They're doing anything and everything to increase the attendance in that park, and I can't see Disney passing up this opportunity. And another $10 says...

The cabins are great for their spaciousness, comfort, and it's definitely one of the quieter areas in WDW. It's also great to have a fridge with some non-Disney food to break up the days and ease up the budget. The housekeeping will also do your dishes for you (bonus). However, getting back...

I checked out this page on Allears.net, and it helped a lot. http://allearsnet.com/menu/menus.htm I looked through and compiled a list of places with healthier options around the parks. It came in very handy.

It's possible that they've given EE this full name so they can change it in the future. They added "Curse of the Black Pearl" to the POTC title shortly before the movie was released in the anticipation of a sequel. Giving it a sur-name (seemingly the name of the story within the ride) would...

Yeah, you can't really link directly to individual photos in a Yahoo album. You need a Photobucket account or something similar.

A couple suggestions... First, get as close to your subject as possible, and use your camera on it's widest angle setting. I.e. DO NOT zoom in, at all. This will let the most light possible into the lens, and thus give you better exposure times and clearer pictures. You can always crop it...

I think given the popularity of the redone SM in DL, it is inevitable that WDW's will follow suit. And I wouldn't be surprised if it gets refurbed with its current track layout, as this saves them tons of money on R&D. However, I don't think WDW's SM would take nearly as long to replace as it...

I don't know what your budget is, but I remember seeing something on either Food Network or Discovery on a Yacht Dinner cruise around the 7-Seas lagoon. It looked like a very pricey 5-Star service meal, but it was touted as being the ultimate Disney dining experience. If you're dealing with a...

I just watched The Cooler and Alec Baldwin refers to the new Las Vegas as being like Disneyland. Then later in the movie he refers to the old Vegas as the days "before all this Epcot Center bullsh*t". I think the Vegas/Disneyland connection is also mentioned in Casino, but I might be wrong.

...and don't get me started on the overwhelming amount of large/overweight kids getting pushed around in the double-wide strollers at WDW. These kids are the future too-fat-to-fit-in-the-ride adults at WDW. When I was a kid, the double/twin strollers were single file, not side-by-side. This...

Whatever. I guess I'll just have to go somewhere else. I don't have anything against Character meals but our plans don't include any kids. And this is not anything I want to deal with while dropping almost $100 on dinner for 2 people (2 meals + drinks + tax + tip). I've been to a few character...

I want to go to Norway's Akershus restaurant during my trip in Dec but it appears to be 100% character dining now. Can anyone confirm or clarify this? Akershus used to be my favorite restaurant in Epcot but I might need to find a new one if the character dining aspect is unavoidable.

Hi, Just looking for a couple of recommendations for somewhere near WDW that would offer take-out party platters. I'm staying at the FW cabins w/ about 12 of my relatives (in 4 cabins) and we want to get together to do a "catered" picnic one day. We'll have a car so we can go pick it up, so it...

It looks like you can buy anything from a 1 to 10 day pass on the Disney site. Or am I missing something?
