    1985 Walt Disney World Merchandise Catalog

    Wow! The little ceramic figures on page 9 - I own several of them. (Still!) When I was a girl, I went to WDW for the first time in 1984. I remember they used to have an entire wall of different figures. My Mom would let me get one or two and over a few trips, I collected several but then one day...

    Dealing with the heat

    First off, for me the biggest part is preparation and wearing the right clothes. There is nothing worse than your clothes being literally SOGGY from sweat that won't dry out. Shorts you have to peel off you to pee. Tees that feel like they weigh 20lbs because they're so saturated. There is a...

    Opinions on Stormtrooper armor

    I was just at the Studios Sunday night and watched the Star Wars fireworks (omg awesome by the way!!) and there were a bunch of Stormtroopers out. They looked good! They were also really in character. A friend with us asked where to stand to watch them and he just stood there "glaring" at him...

    November '71 Found Footage

    That is so cool. Before I was born. I first went in 1984 when I was 7. It's so neat to see it so different and yet the same in so many ways. That video also led me to another from 1971:

    Disney T-shirts, why no "under armour" type shirts?

    Yeah I ONLY wear my dri fit/moisture wick type shirts to the parks when it's hot. (i.e. 90% of the year LOL) So I have a bunch of cute/fun Disney theme shirts that I never wear to the park because they just get soggy.

    Carousel of Progress exterior refurbishment

    They have definitely done something recently with the lighting in the scenes. It's MUCH better than it was previously. The lightning is much more atmospheric lately. I rode it a couple weeks ago and I was impressed with the color and tone of the lightning used in the scenes. For example, the...

    Disney Dooney and Bourke question?

    I have a collection of them! They're fantastic. Best place to buy one is generally in person because then you can pick out placement. For example, some designs wind up with "headless" characters or awkward cutoff images. For example, this pic from google shows a TON of headless princesses...

    WDW Photo of the Day Thread (Part 10)

    I was at MK Saturday for my birthday dinner at Be Our Guest and after, was strolling around just enjoying the scenery. I noticed a stroller parked right in front of Cinderella Castle that had a Mickey Ear balloon tied to it. So I quickly snapped this shot. I love the combination! Thank you...

    Via Napoli

    I love the pizza! My husband and I order a large Quattro Formaggi and it's plenty for us both with to share usually a piece or two left over. At $31 (ish? I forget the exact price off the top of my head) it's more expensive vs a place locally, but it's still a good value for a sitdown restaurant...

    Dapper Day! (If I might be so cheeky :p)

    Richard Petty Driving Experience to close

    Who are these poor people parked waaaaaaaay out in the very end of the row here? LOL The entire section of lots is empty, save for a few dozen cars parked way out in Guam. Is this where they put you if you make fun of $35 premium parking? :p

    WDW Photo of the Day Thread (Part 10)

    I absolutely love the Butterfly Garden at the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival. It’s something I look forward to all year. I am such a fan of macro photography and I always enjoy getting detailed shots of the amazing patterns and colors on the butterflies. This is a “White Peacock” butterfly...

    WDW Photo of the Day Thread (Part 10)

    Thanks! What's funny is earlier in the day I was standing around waiting on the other side in front of Imagination hoping it would come by and it never did so I moved on - only to then catch this at the last minute on our way out!

    WDW Photo of the Day Thread (Part 10)

    World's quickest photo. LOL We were on our way out to head home on Sunday and my camera was already packed in the backpack. As we walked, I stopped to reply to a text and the monorail started to come by. I frantically scrambled to get it out of the bag - thankfully, it paused for just a moment -...

    New expensive "interactive" merch - Haunted Mansion Ghost Post

    It only mentions Disneyland though. Does that mean it's not WDW interactive? When visiting Disneyland in Anaheim, California – the ghosts will enlist your help with a ‘dire’ problem. Use your Phantom Radio to help the Lost Ghosts return to the Haunted Mansion. (I didn't buy a box nor do I have...

    A new set of River Country Pics

    I did a quick google search on the text of the article on that page to see if anything came up, and it did: The Spokesman-Review - Aug 27, 1980 https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1314&dat=19800827&id=505OAAAAIBAJ&sjid=V-4DAAAAIBAJ&pg=4460,5658359&hl=en Lakeland Ledger August 28, 1980...

    New expensive "interactive" merch - Haunted Mansion Ghost Post

    It reminds me of the Mysterious Package Company - https://www.mysteriouspackage.com/ They make a story and send faux "historical" documents and such to build a narrative and story. Interesting idea but really pricey.

    Premium Parking coming to Walt Disney World's parking lots?

    First off, I never said "right at the front gate of the MK" what I DID say was "next to (or behind) MK" - obviously it doesn't have to sit squat right in front of the train station. :rolleyes: The Contemporary parking lot doesn't "ruin" the magic and it's right next door for example. It's...

    Two big new features coming soon to MyMagic+

    No I do not. (Though I don't think that's a really a "thing" here anyway. I've heard of them but it must be an up north thing since we really only have Publix down here for supermarket and I'm not even aware of them having a "loyalty card" type thing anyway.) In a world of TMI and WAY over...

    Premium Parking coming to Walt Disney World's parking lots?

    I fully understand the intent and the concept however the reality of a whimsical idea in 1971 vs the reality of 2016 is vastly different. No one could have foreseen 20-odd million people a year swarming upon MK. Or it taking an hour (on a good day!) just to get back to your car at the end of the...
