This would be amazing news! If the rumor is true, wonder what timeline that puts the restaurant on to reopen. My trip is in late April and really hoping that V&A will be open again.

Sounds like a really good idea to me.

Just read up a bunch on this. I'm going to give it a shot and try transerring all my Disney World videos to DVD (mostly from 1989 - 1995). Would be happy to post some clips if there's some interest in seeing it. Like I said before, a lot of the footage is my dad walking around with the lens...

Well played. Well played. :ROFLOL:

Yep! That is definitely the snow storm we got stuck in! This is so funny... I have to ask my father, but I want to say that we also ended up at the Day's Inn in Savannah as well. We have tons of videos from that trip, starting with my father filming us at the Savannah motel talking about how...

Whoa... who knew it was so simple! :hammer: Thanks!

Oh yes, definitely. What I meant by the "branding" point I brought up was not that Disney pushed its films into being incorporated into every ride. I actually welcome that. It was more along the lines of them trying to incorporate the "Disney characters" (think, animated ones) into all the...

Hmm... this thread has had an interesting effect on me. When I wrote it, I wanted nothing more than to hear a news release that mentioned that WDW was planning a new major park over the next 5 years. But people brought up some good points. I guess I would be much more excited if I had...

Those maps might have been the coolest thing I've ever seen. I've spent over an hour so far today just browsing through it putting my mouse over things.

Do you think Disney World will ever build a 5th major park or have they played all their cards already? Related to this point, is there anyone that has an idea as to what % of the property they've already built on? Not sure how accurate this map is, but is the land west of Magic Kingdom...

I shutter to think what the storyline of a Bambi ride would be... :lookaroun

20K Leagues Under the Sea is a perfect example, actually, about how the Disney character branding is taking over. Rides like that have no place anymore in WDW, and I'm convinced all the remaining ones (even the classics) will slowly be weeded out.

Thanks for the suggestion. Not a bad idea! Just for sanity... I was budgeting about $55/day/person for food. I'd like to have at least one or two "nice, higher-end" sitdown meals, so I figured across the five days, we could get away with $15 for lunch and $40 for dinner (per person). For...

Oh, and another trend I don't particularly like but I don't see changing anytime soon because it's a good profit model for Disney... I used to like how the most part, the Disney movie character-driven rides were confined to Fantasyland, and only Fantasyland. Not everything used to be so...

Pretty darn cool idea, actually.

Link didn't work for me. :brick: edit: And wait, aren't these videos from 1983, not 1989? Confused.

Yeah, kinda agree completely with this post. I gotta admit, when I read the OP, the first thought that came to mind was that I'll be planning my next Disney trip in January next year!

So you didn't approve of any replacements then? :lol: Well, I guess Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was a unanimous good call to drop.

Surely this has been discussed, but I couldn't find it, so I thought I'd start the thread. If another one exists, feel free to link me and I'll go ahead and bump that one. Year after year, something disappears from Disney World only to be remembered in the stories that are passed down. It...

Awesome vids. Actually reminded me of all the camcorder vids my parents took on our first trip down there in 1989 (one of the worst winters in the southeast US I can remember... we got stuck in a blizzard in Savannah Georgia on our drive down !) Quick question... anyone have a good suggestion...
