    Epcot

    Yup. Forgot about it... I was mainly going from the preopening guide which, of course, didn't have WoL in it because it hadn't been thunk-up-yet. :lol: Somewhere I also have a list of all the international "participants."

    A view for New Years Eve, and is it worth staying 1 night at...?

    Best bet for MK fireworks would likely be Contemporary... but I don't know if I'd personally do the hotel hop for just one night... the way I look at it is, you can go see the fireworks from inside the park for under $80 (one day ticket) which means the party atmosphere, the soundtrack, etc...

    DCL - Mexican Rivera / Alaska Ground Transfer Question

    Disneyland does not have anything near the vast transport network that WDW has (for the simple reason that everything in the resort is within a roughly five-ten minute walk from everything else). From the airport, there is a Disneyland Shuttle (costs roughly $20) to the resort area. However I...

    Kodak post show closing June 30th

    Can't say I'll be crying a river for the loss of the gigundo giant camera... but I do hate it for the CMs involved.

    Need advice about off-site hotels

    I've stayed before at Destiny Palms Maingate West... (http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=destiny+palm+resort+kissimmee,+fl&fb=1&gl=us&hq=destiny+palm+resort&hnear=kissimmee,+fl&cid=11009222764247411089) It's beyond the heavy-tourist area, in a quiet portion of Hwy 192...

    Need a Little Help

    It is quite possible. It's been a few years since I've done the dining package. Best bet is to ask your server at the restaurant.

    Cast member badges

    A few years back, these were sold at a shop inside Downtown Disney, but I'm not sure if they are any more. I'd suggest calling guest relations (switchboard number in my signature) or WDW Mail Order and asking them if any stores on property still sell the "guest of honor" customized badges.

    Tinkerbell's Flight

    Tinkerbell's flight occurs about one-and-a-half minutes into the Wishes fireworks show. In this video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdilScQRoYQ ...you can see Tink's flight at 1:20 Occasionally, due to rain or wind, the flight will not occur for safety reasons; however the show is...

    Need a Little Help

    And now that I look at it again, I can give partial help on 2 and 3. :lol: 2) To get into the park, you'll notice that there will be a specific turnstyle line for people who have pre-opening character breakfasts. They're usually decently marked with an overhead sign, but you can always ask...

    Need a Little Help

    Howdy, neighbor-three-counties-south. :wave: I can help on 1 and 4... 1) I really like World Showcase (or sometimes called Showplace) Plaza. It's at the entrance to world showcase, between the two little square stores. Occasionally it will be totally roped off for special events, but often...

    Is my puppy allowed to come for free if he has a hidden mickey ?

    Very unlikely to find deals during that time... it's one of the busiest weeks at the resort. High demand = high prices. Cute pooch. And yeah, I'll buy that he has a hidden Mickey :) And BTW, welcome to WDWMagic! :wave:

    Grammatical Error Pointed out by 4th Grader

    One neat note (which, of course, didn't get mentioned in the story itself... you have to pause the video to read the text) was that the letter to the little girl came from WDI (Imagineering), making her an honorary Imagineer, and sending her a copy of Alex Wright's Imagineering Field Guide and...

    Credit Card Charge

    Some special events, such as Wishes Dessert Party, are charged in full up front, because they don't have the credit card processing on site at the event itself. (The booking agent should make this overtly clear to you that you'll be charged immediately, but it doesn't always happen). Others...

    Grammatical Error Pointed out by 4th Grader

    Ya know, I'm usually pretty defensive about people claiming that the media is biased against someone/something... but this story really did have me wondering just a bit about that. LOL

    Grammatical Error Pointed out by 4th Grader

    This whole thing blows me away... I realllllllly don't get why this is news, or even news-ish. It's literally no different than a kid seeing a misspelled sign at Walmart and pointing it out. Meanwhile, Space Mountain was "out of this would" for years and nobody got on TV for it. :rolleyes...

    Dooney and Bourke Disney Bags- Info please

    I did not see that particular one while I was there back in February. But that's obviously "eons" in retail terms. I know the Disney D&B bags are sold at Uptown Jewelers in MK and at other locations in the other parks. That's not much help, I know. :lol: Maybe at least it's a start for where...
