    Funny things people say at WDW

    I saw a couple, while waiting for AK's jammin' jungle to start, inspecting their map. And the lady says 'where is THAT castle'? As so many have said, you just don't know what to do. Help them out, or sit tight, flabbergasted. Okay, I can begin to understand how a rookie may end up in the wrong...

    I Dream of Disney - do you?

    I do you know, at least once a week. Since '92 I have been dreaming of WDW when catching Zs. It's constant - about as close to a recurring dream as I get. And in my snoozing state, there's about four or five different versions to which I return over and over. Fourteen years x52 mouse nods...

    "We only found one ride in Epcot"

    There was a classic story on here some months ago about a family who went to MK and only tried Tomorrowland - they did not realise there was anything else there. It's a funny thing. I kind of expect the people who go and have a terrible time, frankly just not 'getting it', are the same sort of...

    Favourite Attraction Shop

    Pirates: hooks for hands, eye patches, bottles of grog (candy rum I tells ya).... nuff said. And you're more likely to have a CM say 'would sir care to be stepping to this register, aaaarrrrrrrr' than anywhere else. Merchant of Venus was once pretty sweet, back in the day when old Endor Vendors...

    Make your own WDW Park Map descriptions

    feel guilty pokin fun (don't tell the mouse) but.... Main Street USA - please walk right by and fail to see that this is MK's best land. Crystal Palace - slow-moving ride through the feasting nations of the earth recreated using lifelike animatronics and mashed potato. Tiki - hear some bad...

    wonderland music system?

    In the 'things I noticed at MK today' thread, the postee referenced 'the wonderland music system' at Main Street Cinema. What is this? I know that some time ago there was a system whereby you could make, in effect, a wdw 'mix' cd - your choice of your favourite park tunes; from O Canada to HM...

    Happy Thought: When do you realize your at Disney World?

    Seeing the Port Orleans Riverside sign at the entrance kinda gives me a hint of the feeling I'm after, but it won't do it alone. The Indian wooden carving in the lobby adds to it, as does the general store. The bus stops then ensure I feel all but truly there - I just need to top it up to make...

    Why do people from the Uk come to WDW

    Like the Queen and the Darling children, I live in the UK. And I choose wdw over DLP because it is in the US (do not underestimate the attraction of America to most Brits) and more importantly, it is flippin wdw! 'Nuff said. That DLP and WDW are both Disney is neither here or there - Where's my...

    World Showcase Movies

    There's a new thread in the news and rumours section about Canada at WS getting potentially a 'thrill' ride. Out of this came whispers that perhaps O Canada, the 360 flick, may be replaced with another movie. It's a funny thing but I think any changes to it would hit me harder than tinkering...

    nine years without the mouse - advice

    everyone neat and pretty? Good. So, i want to return in March for my 7th visit; my fifth since 2002. And this time, I want to take my brother who hasn't been since waaaay back in 97. It's pretty impossible to explain to him how things have changed since then. Given that he's never stayed on...

    Easter Time

    Easter truly is a lovely time to visit. It's hot first of all, but with fewer showers. Plus baseball's winningest team is in town. How about them Braves. Yes, there are no specific park decorations at Easter like at Christmas or Halloween. But there is still an Easter Day Parade! I saw it this...

    what ride would u wanna run?

    WDW Railroad - what can I tell you; I think i'd be good at peeping the steam whistle. Maybe Kilimanjaro safaris too - so-fari, so-goody Does being a Beatle in the British Invasion thing in World Showcase count? But I'm clutching at straws. Nothing beats HM stretching room. Maybe - although my...

    impromptu cast member coolness

    Well, thinking of Christmas, thinking of snow isn't working today. What other merry little thing could do the trick? I got to thinking about something pretty nice that MK cast member's did once. I was coming out of Casey's Corner and about six CMs with brooms stood side-by-side in two rows of...

    fave tomorrowland ride?

    Indy Speedway, precisely because it is for kids. Rather like TTA, what's best about Indy is the overall impression it gives of the land; seemingly making it better than it appears while on foot. Did you ever ride it at night, and see space mountain loom behind trees as you turn a corner, or see...

    infiltrators ;-)

    Oh, it's terrible to admit but I hate to see people in the house of mouse emblazoned in merchandise from nearby parks; or as I think of them - merely diversions on the route to mouse enlightenment. Does anyone feel the same? Does anyone feel a vague, irrational rush of blood to see a woody...

    The Haunted Mansion

    Around the time The Haunted Mansion movie came out, The Yankee Trader - Liberty Square store adjacent to Colombia Harbor House and next to the Fantasy Land entrance - temporarily stocked HM merchandise as well as its usual fare. Back at Easter I picked up a Mickey beanie from the HM cart...

    Girl from HM standing on rope- help please!

    The gator girl is my favourite too - it's only when I see her parasol that I know I'm truly back in the laughing place. Consequently, I was desperate to get hold of a reproduction. I once discovered it on a great website (www.philsears.com - run by this fella who mostly trades in DL bits and...

    Pre-show and attraction film celebrities

    yeah! "It's a radio for talking to God" My fave part in the muppets pre-show is when Gonzo tap dances, filmed - obviously - from the waist up. Genius!

    Pre-show and attraction film celebrities

    Who has your favourite cameo role, or gives the best performance, in pre-show or attraction film footage? For me, it has to be Michael 'Kramer' Richards as a caveman freaked out by fire in Future Word's Energy Adventure. Ellen de Generes is pretty spot on too - 'stupid Judy'. Bill Nye science...
