    Phone crushed on TOT

    That did happen a couple times, but was able to do some...maneuvering...to make it more comfy.

    Phone crushed on TOT

    A few weeks ago at WDW, I was able to hold a poncho, small bottle of water and a couple pins I bought in the cargo pockets! Made getting into rides quicker, and everything was securely buttoned in!

    Phone crushed on TOT

    Submitted for your approval: someone goes on a ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios, thought in mind to have their face in their phone and record video of every breathing moment they are there, instead of experiencing the rides and enjoying it themselves. Their videos, instead of being on...

    News Liberty Square Riverboat closing for long refurb

    And according to information I've read, she only has a really small amount of clearance on each side to clear that bridge when it's swung open! It's a relocated, hand-crank swing bridge from the Florida East Coast Railway.

    Magic Kingdom ranks as 2nd most favorite amusement park in the U.S. !

    While I have been and always will be a Disney fan, this is exactly how I felt to a degree last week when we were there. We visited Universal for our first time this trip, and just going to a park to relax, have fun and not worry about how every minute had to be planned (and how free moments had...

    Trip Report First Time Back in 8 Years!

    Thank you guys! Yes, it was a great trip! My daughter was planning her return next year in the Spring (her high school's Senior class trip is always there, and she can't wait to go back!) and I'm now working on plans to return at least by 2022, for my 50th birthday! I may bump that up to...

    Trip Report First Time Back in 8 Years!

    Well, we just got back from our 4th trip to WDW (other times being in 2006, 2008 and 2010), and this being a special treat (my father had mentioned my wife, daughter and I go back with money from some of the train collection we sold after he passed), I have to say that with only a few things...

    Grading Walt Disney World Throughout the Decades

    We just got back on Saturday from our 4th time going (last times were 2006, 2008 and 2010). While we still had an amazing time, we did notice that some things were not at the amazing level they were even in 2010. We noticed bathrooms that looked to not be gone through all day, lots more trash...

    Lilly Belle like you’ve (probably) never seen her before!

    Great photos! I did the Magic Behind the Steam Trains Tour last Wednesday, and I noticed the updates to Lilly Belle (she was heading out for the day when we were coming in behind Roger). I impressed the Cast Member when I said I knew where Walter is, and when someone else on the tour asked...

    Is Disney's food cost out of line??

    We just got back from WDW this past Saturday (spent a great week there, with one day for our first ever trip to Universal!) With a few exceptions in WDW, I would say we paid more for quality that's gone down a little for the food, across the board. I remember that the food in almost every...

    Which upcoming Walt Disney World attraction are you most excited for?

    Since I have been and always will be a fan of the original Disney Mickey shorts, I'm most excited for Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway! Animation in the style of the original shorts, Mickey and trains. I'm in! Galaxy's Edge would be a close second for me, but sometimes it feels like...

My brief resume includes being a collector and operator of all gauges (Z to G), Grandfather and Great Grandfather were employees of the B&O, Father was also a model train operator...

    Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

    While I do have nostalgia for some Disney rides and would never, ever see them go away or be changed, I then remind myself of one of the episodes of the Disneyland series, when Walt said of the park itself, it would always be in a state of being and never really be completed. Sure, I loved The...

    Swan and Dolphin look outdated?

    We're going to be at the Dolphin for the first time at the end of this month until August 4 (previously we stayed at All Star Movies, Port Orleans French Quarter and then Pop Century). It was actually a package deal via Expedia, saving hundreds in the process. But from reviews we've read and...

    News Liberty Square Riverboat closing for long refurb

    You may have a hard time finding Walter. I volunteer across the road at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, and when I take breaks, I walk across to the Strasburg to walk around sometimes. A lot of what they bring in isn't really in full view of the public, as far as their restoration shop...

    Where in WDW is your “happy place”?

    For me, it's walking through the gates of MK, hearing the whistle of the train approaching Main Street Station. Then while she's coming in, walking through the arches of the station and seeing Main Street USA unfold slowly. Once in, I sometimes just stop and look around, taking a deep breath...

    Hello!

    Not at all! I had mentioned it in a post over in the WDW General Discussion, but even though we've always wanted to return, lots of things financially got in the way. This past January, my father (also a huge train collector like me and also a great admirer of Walt Disney) passed away after a...

    Disney Train Set still available?

    Thank you so much for confirming! It's weird - I bought the gold 50th Anniversary one when we were there in 2006, and I ordered the Disneyland 60th one online before, as well as getting the Christmas version from Toys R Us, but realized I never got the standard one! This will be a perfect...
