Monorail Expansion I can tell you this much for sure. As of last year - it was past the Disney planning stages. One company I know of had sketches and a proposed bid for the expansion. I can't say who, but I do know that they lost the bid due to the added security that would need to be imposed...

We've used Mears both times we went to WDW and have never had any major problems. First of all, I never thougth the ride was that long and boring. It takes about 20 minutes to get from the airport to the property. Both times we've gone from the airport to our resort, we were the first stop with...

When we were there in May, we wore our water socks the whole day. Wore them on several water slides, on the lazy river, and in the tidal pool. It was soooo nice since I have sensitive feet. The only problem (not with a CM) I had was on one of the slides when my foot almost got caught on the...

Spectromagic is cool and all, but the music is boring. For me - it just isn't catchy like the Main Street Electrical Parade music is. I just never could get into that music. :snore: :snore: However, I think the technology behind the floats have come a long ways from MSEP. They are really...

Jamaica is cool. It's just so bright and colorful. The only problem is that part of it can be almost as far away from the food court at Trinidad South. Always ask for Building 45 or 46. We stayed in room 4157 the last time and I think it was the single furtherest room from the island. We...

Don't forget about the accessories. We have the monorail going thru the Contemporary Resort setting right on top of our entertainment center. No, it's just a small part of the track not the whole thing (way to big). There is also Spaceship Earth the the monorail goes under. (Yep - the monorail...

Talked this over with my husband and we both strongly feel that we saw them in Adventureland at Agrabah Bazaar. If memory serves us correctly - it's kinda between the Aladdin ride and Jungle Cruise. They had both the straw type and the leather "Indiana Jones" style hats there. If not there -...

My favorite restaurant in DD would be Wolfgang Puck's. I do agree that the kids would probably enjoy Rainforest or Planet Hollywood for atmosphere. However for the food - I wouldn't recommend Planet Hollywood. I think the kids would enjoy Puck's too. They have some great pizza as well as other...

It's a ride. It's basically a set of open cars on a track that travels above Tommarrowland. It's a slow ride, but very cool. The view is awesome and it's a very relaxing ride that gives you a brief look and several rides in tomarrowland as it passes thru them. Check it out. I think it's still...

Did you book thru National's website? If not, go there quick and check it out. When we went 2 years ago, I did a lot of checking on car rentals and found out that it was a whole lot cheaper to use their website. Not only do they discount for using the website, but if you have other national car...

I wish they had Dr. Pepper too, but at least there is Mr. Pibb in a few places. We stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort and thank God they had Mr. Pibb there. I personnally can't stand COKE and refuse to drink it. So, it was great to still be able to get a cold caffine fix in the morning. So, if...

#1 - Rock N Rollercoaster - the absolute best roller coaster out there!!! #2 - Space Mountain (classic ) :sohappy: :sohappy:

We went mid - October a couple years ago and yes, we went swimming all day long at typhoon lagoon. It was HOT even then. The only thing we had to worry about was the rain. It rained a lot on us during our 2 week stay. However, the water temperature was incredible. And nothing beats an afternoon...

I would call and check. Disney doesn't do the best job updating their website. You'd be able to get much more reliable info if you just call. Also, continue to ask others who have recently been - they are sometimes the best source of information.

I agree with everyone's thoughts - most of the time it's people's stupidity. Here in Kansas City we have an amusement park, Worlds of Fun, which has had more deaths and serious injury than I can recall ever hearing Disney have. We've had everything from cars going off the track to people just...
