Worked on the train at Silver Dollar City for 3 years. Unfortunately axles break sometimes. It's rare, but it does happen, especially on older engines and cars. And depending on the break, they probably had to come in with a special car to lift the engine and slowly tow it back to the...

Two weeks.... Have to make it through 2 weeks...

You do realize that the restaurants on Harbor are actually a shorter walk than Downtown Disney is, even though it's technically "leaving the resort". Unless you're referring to having to clear security again. But Jimboys is well worth that bit of hassle. :-)

Just a few posts above yours... RIF

We would have loved to fly into one of the other airports, but it would have run us $200+ more per person for the next cheapest airport. And since we're doing this on a tight budget, that $1000 wasn't money we had. :-) so LAX it is. And that also means the shuttle van we currently have...

I'm starting to think that people also got way overhyped about this. And I've found that when ever the hype got huge and expectations with it, nothing lives up to that. Maybe that's why I tend to be happier than many at parks. I very purposely try to set my expectations low. And then I'm...

We'll do both on this trip. Blue Bayou is already reserved, and we have a couple of other meals in the parks planned. But we'll also cross harbor and eat at Jimboy's, Denny's probably once, and definitely ordering Round Table to be delivered. Balance in everything. :-)

There are NO fastpasses during the Oogie Boogie Bash. none. Not for anything

Appreciate the input. The quotes we are getting are for each way, so round trip around $155-180 for 5 adults As I mentioned, I haven't had good experiences with them. But even so, paying for essentially 4 trips is going to be even more expensive. The early quotes I've been getting have been...

We're arriving in 2 weeks for our long overdue trip to Disneyland. Have a private van booked with Prime Time Shuttle from LAX for our group of 5 to our hotel on Harbor across the street from Disneyland. But I've had a couple of things happen that are starting to cause me concern. Has anyone...

they have been ridiculously slow and behind on getting the entertainment schedule up. Even park hours for October didn't finally go live until early-mid September. There are still showtimes for the first week of Oct getting posted, and much of the rest of October is a blank. I don't know why...

Be sure to let Disney know that, and why. When they see it hitting their bottom line and why they're losing money, that's when they may start to realize the mistake they are making and change it.

2 showings for World of Color but only one parade? Pretty much the opposite of WDW's Not So Scary where they do the "show" (castle fireworks show) once and the parade twice. I'm guessing though that the pattern to see the second show because crowds will be lighter, and use the first show time...

Maybe it's just me, but if I was in a space battle shooting at TIE fighters, I'd rather be flying an X-wing. But it would be hard for them to do a solo simulator. May have something similar happen with RoR though. We'll see

There are a mix of different machines around the parks. There are the old style ones that are 51 cents (2 quarters and the penny), and they are still around in abundance. There are also new ones that will give you all the pennies in the machine for a swipe of the card- and they provide the...

$3 is pitiful for a site that is getting decent traffic and generating decent ad revenue. To give a comparison, I'll make that much on a video that only gets 750 views on Youtube, and that's with them taking 50% of the ad revenue. And most of those sites mentioned in the article are generating...

I've got mixed feelings. Epcot was in desperate need of attention, and much of it needed an overhaul and new life added to it- Wonders of Life, Innoventions, and Universe of Energy were in particularly bad shape, and other areas needed a touch up and additions as well. So that being done I...

As long as there aren't any characters in the photo with you (open drinks near characters are a huge no-no, and the photographer would get in trouble for that) Cups are not permanent signage or advertising, so they are a grey area that can be considered ok, just like a shirt. It's also a guest...

It's signage and logos that Disney has full control over. So in the case of shirts worn by guests, no it won't get blurred out (though if it is a product that Disney doesn't want it's product and characters to be associated with, they will find creative ways to hide the logos, such as have the...

Not exactly. If it was a photo that a guest was taking it's not a problem since it's non-commercial photography. As far as Coke is concerned, that's free publicity and there's no money involved so it doesn't infringe on anything. However, Disney photopass photos are commercial photography...
