I hope this is not inappropriate for the boards, but I just thought I would share this with everyone. Each year, some of the radio personalities from a station here in Dallas (they’re also syndicated a few other places around the U.S.) take a group of terminally and chronically ill kids and...

I found this article on Forbes.com about Disney Technology. I have to say, while I am concerned about privacy issues in general, some of this stuff sounds pretty cool to me. Here's a bit of the article, followed by the link: <b> If you value your privacy, a trip to a Disney theme park in...

On one visit my wife and I were eating lunch at the Sci-Fi in MGM. While talking to the waitress, my wife mentioned that it was our anniversary (not expecting to get anything, just part of the conversation). At the end of the meal, the staff brought us out a cake. Not just a couple of pieces...

In the "How do you like your eggs?" thread I mentioned that I like mine scrambled, on top of a biscuit, and covered with gravy. I also mentioned that I generally only eat this when I'm on vacation. That got me to thinking about "vacation foods." Are there certain foods that you only eat when...

I guess it's just an aquired taste. Growing up, my mother believed that gravy was one of the basic food groups. I don't think a meal went by that we didn't have gravy on something. I don't eat eggs that way much anymore (my doctor prefers me to stick to the oat bran) but when I'm on vacation...

Scrambled, then put on top of a big buttermilk biscuit and topped with sausage gravy. You can't tell I'm from the South.

This may not be one of my best, but it's one of my favorites. I must admit, there's a little bit of color manipulation going on, but I really like the technicolor kind of look. The picture was taken a couple of years ago. The young lady is my oldest daughter.

I write on-hold advertising. So next time you're stuck on hold, feel free to curse my name. Of course, as soon as I sell my first novel, I'm done with that for good.

My family and I will quite probably be moving to the Orlando area at the beginning of next year. My question to current Orlando residents is: what are some good areas to go house hunting, and what are some areas to avoid? Since my wife and I are both Disney freaks, we’d like to live close...

Debbie, I'm afraid I can't offer to bring you (my wife might get upset), but a local DJ here in Dallas has a Second Chance Prom every year for those adults whose prom experience might not have been everything they desired. All the proceeds for the event go to taking chronically and terminally...

You would think they would be used to it, but they don't really do much to make it easier to bring strollers. Probably so that you'll be more inclined to rent one at the parks. (Which, in some parks, the strollers are quite nice. You just have to be there early enough to get the good ones.)...

We've gone just about every route for this: nice big stroller, umbrella stroller, and using Disney strollers. I think for the 3 year old, the umbrella stroller may work just fine, but for the 20 month old especially, you're going to want a stroller that will let them sleep comfortably. Plus...

I think that is the problem with your argument. A coaster can have a story, as well as a theme that follows throughout the ride. I know that we are trying to avoid Disney comparisons here, but Disney has managed to do it on practically every coaster they've built. Heck, even Six Flags has...

Rider, I think one problem with the argument you’re making it that you don’t seem to have a clear idea of what a “theme” is. I will admit that I’ve never ridden Hulk, so I won’t even try to make the argument that it isn’t themed well, but all the things you’ve mentioned as “theming” are...

I've told my wife that I want my ashes put into fireworks and launched during the nightly display. Of course, I seriously doubt they would allow that.

I think that the atmosphere at Disney is the reason most people go to WDW, they just don't realize it. I know several people who would never describe themselves as Disney enthusiasts, but every few years they spend a few thousand dollars to take the family to WDW. Why? Afterall we're only...

I have a friend that works for Pepsi (Frito-lay actually, but all part of the same happy family. She's told me many times about how she and her co-workers have to smuggle in other soft drinks because they can't stand Pepsi. If the people responsible for it won't drink the stuff, you know it...

I proposed to my wife beside Cinderella's castle. We've now been married 8 years (9 in March) and have spent all but two of our anniversaries at Disney World. Unfortunately, I don't think we make it there for number 9. However, we plan on renewing our vows at Disney for the 10th.

This is one of those urban legends that seems to pop up periodically. In fact, if you follow this link: http://www.snopes2.com/ you can find about more about this particular rumor. Others on the board may have more information about this, but as far as I've ever heard, no child has ever been...

Your best bet is to ask the castmember at the beginning of the line how child swaps are handled on the particular attraction. On some attractions one parent waits outside while the other goes through the line, and on others you take the child with you and just switch off when the first parent...
