    what's my odds at getting an early pat?

    Oh and BTW, that's 12:01 EASTERN time. Different than for WDW and DL, which for ADR purposes is 12:01 PACIFIC time. I have gotten that confused so many times. This past trip we had both ADRs and a DCL voyage, so naturally I assumed it was going to be 2:00 am Central time, and was shocked...

    DCL transfer question

    I wouldn't necessarily cancel your transfer just yet. The first DCL bus leaves MCO around 8:30-9 am, which will get you there right at terminal opening. IN fact, we missed the first bus and got the second bus, and arrived around 10:15 or so and were still able to upgrade to concierge without...

    Spirited News, Observations & Thoughts Tres

    But the real question remains: when are they going to put up the CRTS-themed benches? I assume at least *that* will be announced at D23?

    I think you created a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the vaunted "triple-dare" and going right for the throat!

    Spirited News, Observations & Thoughts Tres

    This is BRILLIANT! I love it. It's almost exactly like the Game of Thrones episode where Tyrion plants false info on the fate of Myrcella to figure out who Cersei's mole is. That was inspired genius. This is even better 'cause it's like the reverse situation, here Disney wants to see who...

    Bob Iger in HS

    Yeah, it's a long way from Uncle Walt strolling down Main Street USA in the morning just to enjoy the parks when no one was around and making sure everything was in tiptop shape!

    Bob Iger in HS

    And that right there is why the Matrix (and its sequels) are a perfect allegory of exactly what is happening to 21st century America. The Matrix is the ultimate goal of major corporations and people who run them... to turn the public into a faceless, stupified consumer base that powers the...

    Bob Iger in HS

    Crazy idea... But could this have been a deliberate social media "plant" by Disney? Something they knew wasn't true but yet something that sounded plausible and likely to be of interest to many, just so they could gauge the reaction, interest, speed and direction of propagation throughout the...

    New Seating in the Tiki Room

    Exactly. And you know what, my 4 year old boy LOVES LOVES LOVES the Tiki Room. He had been asking like crazy to go see it before we left for WDW and was super excited during the show. And you know what, it was one of the best shows I've seen in a long time, because the whole audience got into...

    Hidden Oswald in FLE

    Actually, strange as it may seem, there IS an NFL-Oswald connection, sort of. In 2006, as part of a multi-pronged deal that gave NBC-Universal the rights to Sunday Night football and broadcaster Al Michaels before his contract with ABC/ESPN was up, Disney acquired the rights to broadcast the...

    Frontierland makeover

    Heh, isn't this the whole raison d'etre for FASTPASS+? To lure guests away from popular attractions by making them falsely believe other attractions are worth their time? And force them to make this decision 6 months in advance? The smart people will continue to use their fastpasses on the...

    Resort to Cruise Transportation

    Just to be clear, because we're looking into this for our cruise in April... but one could always use DME from the resort to the aiport, THEN transfer to the DCL bus at the airport, right? We want to take an early DME to the airport (like around 7 or 8am) and then try to get an early DCL bus...

    RUMOR: Disney Buying Hasbro?

    That's because up until recently, Iger was like an Eisner clone. Now he has an exit plan from Disney and wants to leave his legacy. So what does he do? He becomes the anti-Eisner and starts gobbling up big media properties left and right. If you read DisneyWar it certainly paints Eisner as...

    RUMOR: Disney Buying Hasbro?

    I mean, who wouldn't want to visit Cobra-La? Especially those mutating spores.... In all seriousness, I remember loving the GI Joe Cobra-La miniseries when I was a kid. That was awesome storytelling.

    More Disney Fun with Social Media (pics included!)

    It's simple really. They should just be required to post disclosures that they recieve actual monetary or in-kind compensation from TWDC for their work. In the biomedical community, we do this all the time when we give talks. It is requried for publications in major journals and at national...

    Dolphin encounters: Blue Lagoon or Atlantis?

    Well, good to know. Unfortunately, it's my first time cruising, so hopefully it's still available at the 75 day window. I imagine it will be....

    Dolphin encounters: Blue Lagoon or Atlantis?

    Thanks Tammy for the great advice!!! Good point about the docking bit. Also, kind of an unrelated question, but I've been reading these threads for a while and saw that sweetpee mentioned that she was checking stateroom availability prior to her sailing date to get an idea of how booked the...

    Dolphin encounters: Blue Lagoon or Atlantis?

    Hi All! Long time lurker on WDWMagic from since 2002, but recently starting to post. My family and my friend's family are going on the Disney Dream for a 4 night cruise to the Bahamas on April 20th. We are planning to do a dolphin encounter at Nassau, but are unsure of whether to go with...

    WDW Spirited Quickees

    So I take it that the personnel changes at the top are for the better? Is there anyone in Burbank who actually wants to champion WDW? Or do they still just see it as a real estate deal?
