    PotC Hidden Skull?

    I would definitely welcome that skull back to its former place. I have missed seeing it for the past 11 years. I was shocked when they first removed it, because it was something referred to as a "101 figure" which is a figure that when it's not working, the ride is supposed to close. I believe...

    Magic Kingdom fireworks fallout zone

    I assume much of the new parts of WDW's Fantasyland are within some sort of fallout zone, depending on the wind and assuming they are using the same shells and heights they used before the new part was open. I have worked custodial shifts in Fantasyland (ten years ago, but the same show as now)...

    Major 2015 Pirates of the Caribbean Refurbishment Watch/Rumor.

    Ex MK Pirate here, as well. I remember before the 2006 refurb, there were no intrusion beams or alarms on doors, so we were all very familiar with the backstage layout and how all the effects worked. We took a lot of pride in understanding how to keep the "show" at a high standard, whether it...

    Adventureland Veranda: The next Club 33?

    Whatever happens, I hope they do something with it! It's a huuuuuge space. I've been in/through there a lot and it's a wonderful space. Whether it's an exclusive club, an entertainment venue, a restaurant... whatever it is, they need to take advantage of the large space in a prime location!

    New Space Mountain pre-boarding video?

    I heard they filmed a new video in Space Mountain after park hours last night to replace the decades-old video that plays in the queue near where the stand-by and Fast Pass lines merge. Anyone else know anything about this? PirateJeffWDW ºoº

    POTC: Grafitti in the queue.

    I don't mean for my comment here to justify this kind of stuff in any way, but like some people have briefly said, that particular graffiti has been on those walls for years and years and years. You normally can't see it because of the lighting, but this picture shows it off really well. Those...

    PHOTOS - New interactive Haunted Mansion queue opens for guest previews today

    I know some others have said this, but the first thing I thought when I saw it was that the new placement of the old tombstones means that all the guests are walking over where the bodies would be underneath them. I know no one is actually buried there, but it's still creepy to me. Especially...

    New HitchHiking Ghosts Coming to WDW

    Here comes my reply out of nowhere, and feel free to shoot me down, but I just want to add my two cents by saying that there have been RFID transmitters in the hitchhiking ghosts scene for almost 10 years, now. And having been a cast member in the area, and seeing them in person, I know it's not...

    Interesting Casey's Corner Picture...Any Thoughts?

    When I was being trained as a custodian on Main Street, I was told that those are the Imagineers who were responsible for the redesign of Casey's Corner. I wasn't around for whatever it looked like before, so I don't know what "redesign" means. And if you look closely you can tell that they...

    Pyrotechnic Convention

    I was fortunate enough to see a part of this in 2004 when I worked on Main Street. I was custodial so we were often there after the park closed. Our manager told us to stick around a little bit and we watched the most amazing pyrotechnics I've ever seen. We stood at the Main Street train station...

    my friends and i stayed there over this past new years and it was just fine. nothing special, but we weren't in orlando for the hotel room. we were in the room to sleep, pretty much. it was comfy and clean and we've made reservations for the same hotel this summer, but we opted for the deluxe...

    Pirates of the Caribbean closed in June for refurb

    I am having such mixed emotions about this news. The ride will be closed thru my whole visit. And it seems like a pretty busy weekend to start a refurb. I know a LOT of Pirates in red that weekend will be disappointed. On the other hand, having worked that attraction for 4 years, I have such...

    POTC+SM Queue effects

    That scene in Pirates also has waves "projected" onto the "water." And something I always found interesting is how the "rain" is made in the hurricane scene (witht he skeleton steering the ship wreckage). It's just a disco ball on its side, spinning really fast! I always loved that.

    Disney Keys

    I love that the background for the key with the Evil Queen is the wallpaper from the Haunted Mansion!

    Disney World's intern program

    I think they specifically don't call it an internship because of the fact that they don't try to put you in a job that matches what you are studying. To call it a real internship, the job should correspond to your studies. At least that's what I was told to say by the representative in charge of...

    Jungle Cruise at night

    i don't think babs after twilight would be healthy for any cruise. when you get that type of..... unique(?) experience in the daytime, who needs to turn the lights out?

    Jungle Cruise at night

    Having been a skipper, I must say i LOVE the attraction at night. Some of my life's greatest memories are nighttime cruises. The skippers seem to have so much more fun (and it's often the time I would try out new jokes). There's something about a nighttime cruise that makes you feel like the...
