    The Ultimate Disney Souvineer

    My favorite is my name tag and cast member ID from when I was employed in WDW back in 2005.

    Am I the only one that hates the whooptie doo review?

    Yes. Shame on you. J/K I love it. Had my first dance with my wife there on our honeymoon. But, I can see where it wouldn't be for everyone. Shame.

    Latest Social Media 'Experiment'?

    Oh please, stop sniffing the pixie dust. Spirit wasn't calling out Ricky. And as for the other one he has, he's spot on. I like a guy who can call them like they see them and not be apologetic. This is a Disney message board. That means we're allowed to discuss the good and the bad. There...

    Video - Splash Mtn finale Jan 22 (all animatronics broken)

    Aw, c'mon guys. Just use some of that patented Disney Magical Pixie Dust (TM) and close your eyes and imagine the animals. It's getting to a point where I'm embarassed to call myself a former CM. I love the parks, but management needs to seriously get with it. Bad show!

    The Disney Look is Changing

    As a former CM and avid beard wearer I say it's about time. Nothing like being a 25-year-old who looked 15 because of being forced to shave. And before you say 'well you could have worked someplace else,' I knew that going in and I excepted it, because I wanted to work there. I never did...

    Dead body found in employee parking lot

    It's very possible to work two shifts in a row. They won't schedule you that way, but they never stopped me from taking every available shift from every CP (who were guaranteed 40 hours) that wanted to give them to me. And on top of that you could go to the other parks and pick up extra...

    WDW is that really you?

    It's called: why work hard to keep up appearances when people are going to come and spend money anyway? I don't wanna hear any of this "oh, you don't love Disney; you're a doom and gloomer; go someplace else" crap. I'm a former Cast Member and long-time WDW and Disneyland visitor. I still...

    Buh-bye Poly, hello Aulani?

    I'm not talking a simple renaming. The rumors are a complete tear down with new structures modeled after those currently being built in Hawaii.

    Buh-bye Poly, hello Aulani?

    I know the poly refurb is already being discussed on these boards, but word around the campfire is, the favorite deluxe resort of many could be making an exit for an Aulani clone. Would they? Could they? Should they? Let's discuss.

    Oct. 14-21 2011 Trip..any tips?

    Shees ... I've been in all different seasons to WDW and I find October to still be way to humid for me. We took my son last October almost the same dates as you and as soon as we stepped out of the cabin BAM! that central Florida humidity hit us hard. Other than that, it's a great time to...

    Re-looking at the Country Bears

    CBJ needs TLC God Bless the Country Bears. I love this show. From the first visit to my last - it's an entertaining show. That said, it needs fixing. Badly. Management really needs to cowboy up and get it done. Like yesterday. A Marc Davis original is rotting in front of our eyes...

    Disney World unfairly slammed for wages.

    Exactly. Doesn't anyone remember the 'Disney Difference?' It was an honor to be employed by the mouse and everyone knew it. They had the best, expected the best and they charged guests accordingly. Somewhere down the line the difference was thrown out. Expectations were lowered while the...

    Disney World unfairly slammed for wages.

    Lazy huh? As a former CM, I feel I should add to this discussion. I had a dream to work at my favorite place in the world. So I went there. I was only scheduled 20 - 30 hours a week, but I ended up with 40 or more because whenever any of the CP's who didn't want their guaranteed 40...

    Google Earth Imagery Update

    Nice. I never knew that. I just found it funny that google was having some screw ups today. Thanks for the pix. I love before and afters.

    Google Earth Imagery Update

    Did anyone notice on the island across from the Poly, google maps shows and icon for Los Generales Mexican Grill and Bar? Did I miss something here? Isn't that located on I-Drive or something? I guess they're looking to branch out. It also looks like Disney had scrapped the Animation Inn...
