    Walt Disney World in Sitcoms

    They didn't actually shoot at WDW, but an episode of Dave's World was centered around getting to Disney World. I wish I had more information, but I don't. Remember, Walt Disney was an innovator, he wanted new and exciting things! Change, rearrange, imagine and conceive! Don't dwell on past...

    New Year @ WDW - cold or reasonable?

    Just my two cents on Florida winter weather: It's weird. Some years it's freezing, like the year they had a cold snap while my family was visiting relatives and there were rolling black outs through central florida, and sometimes it's positively gorgeous. I've spent a lot of time in Florida...

    Walt Disney Biography Books

    Might be a little offtopic, but....there's a great book called "Storming the Magic Kingdom" by John Taylor. It's an indepth story of how THe Disney Corporation was nearly dissolved in the early days of the 80s, and how the powerhouse of Eisner, Wells, and Katzenberg shot it back to the top...

    Walt Disney World in Sitcoms

    Oh yeah, and the show that was shot at Disney World was called Thunder in Paradise. It featured Hulk Hogan, Chris Lemmon, and Carol Alt. A *LOT* of Disney rides, attractions, and hotels filled in the backdrop. For example, their base of operations was the beach next to the Grand Floridian...

    Walt Disney World in Sitcoms

    The Muppets at Walt Disney World (1990) The Big Frog Festival comes only once a year, so naturally Kermit the Frog is excited about returning home to his friends and family in the swamp. The rest of the gang, however, has quite a different idea of fun and excitement - Walt Disney World...

    Everyone eat the Eggrolls

    It's been a long time, but...is the chinese restaurant still in Adventureland? It was sponsored by Kikkoman, this I remember...but I don't know if it was there last time I was there.

    Kingdom Hearts: Mini-review

    This game is the perfect Disney Fix. I declare it to be so. I've been playing for a week straight now, and I just keep finding new and neat stuff. THe animation is dead on, and it even follows the stories to some degree. It's re-tellings of Tarzan, Alice, etc, but it's like a new author tried...

    I'm In Shock....

    Joy! Growth at DIsneyworld! maybe I can get my job down there finally! I would love to see some great designs in Tomorrowland...perhaps some sort of thrill ride to compliment Space Mountain, a cooler version of Spiderman...a simulation ride with a track!

    How Much is the College Program?

    Disney's college program is great. Yes, you have to pay for your food and such while there, but they pay decent enough, and they provide a very good place to live. Vista Way is wonderful. Basically, you should bring enough for souvenirs and booze. The Walgreens outside the front gate of Vista...

    Alien Enocunter - Stitch Makeover rumor persists

    Lose Alien Encounter? I hope not! I like that attraction! Skippy! Woo! "Oh shut up, Skippy, you're not hurt, you've just got a healthy glow." Sorry, where was I? Oh yeah. This is one of the best Disney has to offer, using old fashioned scares mixed with state of the art technology. It's one...

    The Pretty Good Movie ride

    I love the Great Movie Ride, but it needs to be enhanced to keep it fresh. I want to see more of the fantastic movies out there, like Tombstone (a disney film), Saving Private Ryan, Gone with the Wind, For a few dollars More, and any other number of films. Perhaps a scene from Star Wars...

    Disney's US Properties Plan Low-Key 9/11 Observances

    I will be observing Sept. 11 with a small candle ceremony on the front lawn of my apartment, with an american flag. I wish I could be at Disneyworld on that day, because I believe I would need some joy when I think of those I lost, and thank serendipity for those that survived.

    Songs that fit with Disney Rides!

    heh... It's a small World - Led Zeppelin's "The Song Remains the Same" Test Track - America's "Ventura Highway" Spaceship Earth - Van Halen's "Right Now" for the modern section. And that's all I can think of right now.

    Should Disney keep Carousel of Progress?

    I think that COP could continue to work, but not in it's current incarnation. The jumps are kind of ridiculous. From the 40s to present day? no. I vote that it be completely re-habbed, starting in 1900, move to 1940, 1970, and then to modern day. That way every major innovation is shown...

    Should the Mansion become NBC???

    To get rid of Haunted Mansion is to gut the heart of Liberty square! Update the special effects, maybe, but never get rid of it!! It's one of the cornerstone rides, like SPace mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean! Leave my Haunted mansion alone!!! Seriously though, I doubt they're gonna...

    Celebrities you have seen at WDW

    Hmmm...well, during my time as a slav-I mean, intern with Disney, I got a chance to meet a lot of famous folks... Hulk Hogan put me into a headlock, to the great amusement of a japanese tourist Saw Karri Strugg while I was trudging up the stairs from work, and made her pout by saying, "Oh...

    Cover Songs?...

    Hmmm...Well, There was an album of covers a couple years ago. I can't remember the name of it, but I do recall that The Barenaked Ladies covered Grim Grinning Ghosts, and TIm Curry did a horrible rendition of "The Ballad of Davy Crockett."

    Small Details

    Well, there's always the classic hidden mickeys, such as the boxer shorts with Mickey Mouse's head on the polka dots in "Snow White's Adventure". Another one of my favorites is the clown who's stuck in a balloon in "It's a Small World." he's frowning and has a sign that reads, "Help!"

    Best Beer In Epcot

    Best beer at Epcot, hands down: Guinness on tap from the Rose and Crown Pub. Just how it's supposed to be served, by the yard! However, beware, beware anyone who wants to take you drinking around the world. 11 beers in two hours. I was stumbling by the time we hit Mexico, and that...
