    Virgin Megastore

    The continuing slow, agonizing death of all forms of physical media makes me incredibly incensed. This is where Napster, file-sharing and the continued piracy associated with the MP3 format has brought us. Music shops in all their various forms are dying and taking the entire music industry...

    So disapointed with the Disney Store.

    Actually when we last visited Disneyland, I thought the Anaheim version of The World of Disney was a serious let-down. Little better than your typical strip mall Disney store. Unless you were in the market for those spinny, shiny fan toys, cheap beach towels or "bedazzled" Mickey shirts, there...

    Walt Disney Imagineering Blue Sky Cellar

    To be perfectly honest, I'm still not convinced this makeover will "fix" California Adventure. Why choose a second-tier Pixar property like "Cars" to anchor the most significant changes to the park? If as much care and energy were put into making, say, a full-scale Halloweentown for a...

    Will I like Disneyland?

    You were "blown away" by yet another alternate re-telling of the Nemo film as shown through a 12" porthole that still has the slobber and nose-prints of the last who-knows-how-many guests smeared across it? Really? :lookaroun

    Rock and Roller Coaster-Who Should People Rock To?

    Almost anything but the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

    Will I like Disneyland?

    I could not agree more with rbrower's assessment of the Nemo & Friends subs. Just skip it altogether. It's just not worth the time or effort. Spend the hour or two you would normally spend in the submarine line to go back on Indiana Jones again.

    Disney shirts for dudes....

    Yeah, um, the Vault Disney store is definitely not what you'd expect. It's like a strange, marginally Disney themed funky boutique, carrying almost nothing but costume jewelry, handbags and way, way overpriced t-shirts. Like many things at Disney, the shirt sizes run incredibly small; and...

    Restaurant Ideas

    If you're looking for something fancier than just a good burger and/or a chicken sandwich, then this might sound out of place; but quite honestly, I really enjoyed the Hungry Bear restaurant opposite Splash Mountain in Critter Country. Its veranda overlooking the paddleboats on the Rivers of...

    Are there ever any Grand Californian deals?

    Tell me more about the AAA discounts - since I actually have that card, but rarely take advantage (or even know) of the discounts available to me with that service. We're looking to stay 3 nights during mid-July next summer (and then following it up with 5 nights in San Diego for Comicon).

    Are there ever any Grand Californian deals?

    Having visited the incredibly impressive lobby area of the Grand Californian on our trip to Disneyland last month (and having taken a "tour" of the pool area and the Storyteller Cafe), I am now chomping at the bit to stay - somehow, some way - at that hotel when we return to California next...

    Stuff to do after the parks close

    Not the buffet at Capt. Kidd's. I repeat: NOT the buffet at Capt. Kidd's! Wow. That was quite the meal.

    WDW Picture of the Day (Part 4)

    RE: Post #2341 - the Pluto shot Why is it that the CMs playing Pluto always have to pose like Pluto has a broken back? That little stooped bow just always bothered me.

    Some Magic Kingdom rumors/truth

    Hear, here! Bulldoze Toon Town and put something in its place that makes use of the main Disney characters, but that appeals to someone over the age of 5.

    We're going to Disneyland instead!

    Really? Seriously? That's spectacular news about the last week of July, if true. I'll be at Disneyland July 20-22 and I'm just praying the park isn't elbow-to-elbow crowded.

    Japan Castle Refurb

    It'd be nice if there was something in the Japan pavilion other than an overpriced department store and a sushi bar. I'm just sayin'.

    Jim Hill Media Article----Expedition Everest Special Effects

    The very first time I rode Expedition Everest, I didn't even know there was a yeti encounter on the way out. The lights were completely off during that last burst. We never saw the giant mountain creature. This lead me to accidentally "lie" to my little nephew, telling him that we only see...

    Save a Illinois Disney Store petition online. :)

    How many bath towels or sand pails or twirly, light-up tchotchkes does any one individual need? Most of those stores seriously need to close.
