And in the spirit of full disclosure... ...the only reason they did this was to open a second front in Britain's existing war with France to divert resources and attention. It was never France's goal to do anything more than make Britain's life hard. And remember they provided naval...

Of course Candians say that out of pride... ...in the role they played however Canada never had the committment to WWII of the US with less than 60% of eligible males in uniform. Yes Canada played a role in the liberation Italy where half of its 95,000 casualties occured. However the US...

As a seasoned traveller who also had to induct... his wife into the Disney way of life here are my suggestions: 1. spoon feed things one step at a time. Don't overwhelm her by dumping a ten stage itinerary on her. 2. focus on getting to the hotel - use DME to expedite the process 3. the...

Thanks... for sharing the photos - very cool!

There are so many things wrong with RC by today's standards 1. Long trip to/from by bus to/from parking lot. 2. Long walk from bus to park (toward Pioneer Hall, past Davey Crockett Tavern to the left and straight on 'til morning) 3. Small with few attractions = LONG lines. 4. Shared water...

I can understand your frustration... however I hardly equate the wheelie shoes with in-line skates, roller skates or skateboards. For one the speed and distance are limitted and the correct position has to be held rather precisely. Second despite my concerns in airports I have yet to see one...

Just so you know... GM owns a large percentage of Toyota (not a controlling interest, but the largest single shareholder through a series of corporate firewalls and holding corporations). The NUMI plant in California is GM owned and built Toyotas for years. It used to assemble the Geo...

From what I've witnessed it's not Imagineering... ...it's the WOW factor constraint. Leadership, primarily under Eisner, wanted thrills at the lowest cost (hence going outside of Disney for major design components for the first time in history, even buying ready made rides). The budgets...

That would be amazing but... ...they have been looking at the Matterhorn in Florida for decades. Imagineers said it couldn't go in the MK because it would be dwarfed by the castle and eventually other "mountains" (nobody explained why it couldn't be made larger...). Then when I was casual...

Why? So only the super sick can use it? Or did I misunderstand that your point was accessibility? Make it into a conf room...there are never enough of those in any company.

Pretty indicative of how crazy things are... ...in the world of litigation. The settlement appears to be a joke and if so then the lawsuit is a joke. I'm guessing that A) the resort fees weren't exorbitant, B) people would have paid if notified and C) there was no way to opt out. How sad it...

Great update! Thanks for taking the time to show us all the changes - very interesting.

Thanks! Appreciate the heads up.

The basis and premise sound great but... in essence it makes Tomorrowland an extension of Fantasyland. Is that bad? Well TL hasn't been very tomorrow'ish since the late 60's so I suppose it's not bad. It could have a futuristic theme based on automation, AI, space, and such. Too bad...

I don't think Michael likes mirrors... ...after all they never show his reflection :)

I am not holding my breath... ...but I am holding on to the hope that Disney comes through with an expansion. Come on Iger - make it happen :D

How about an environmentally concious ride... ...along the lines of Buzz Lightyear. Powered by solar cells and methane gas from the decomposing waste of nearby bathrooms, the ride vehicles are themed after animals on the African plain. Each vehicle moves as it's animal does, loping for...

Being a snob requires something more... ...than the simple action of staying at a nice hotel. My guess is she interpreted your response to mean you wouldn't consider anywhere else which isn't true I gather, if the amenities were on par. Having the monorail is a GODSEND when you have young...

Once upon a time I used to focus only on the big ones... ...and then I had kids. And they discovered nothing is more fun than to ask Dad which ride he doesn't want to go on and then drag him to it to ride not once, not twice, but three times in a row; once with each daughter. So I now ride...

Depends on the phase of my life... As a kid we'd always hit the Disney Village on the last day to take it easy, get in some last minute shopping. With my kids the last day is spent at Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach. We aim for the car at 3pm which puts us home at midnight. Works like a...
