I can't agree The pictures are awesome, and it certanly does look questionable. The key visual element that makes it look fake is the castle. However, I've never seen an Imagineering model that depicted the collection of dirt on the roof around air ducts, conditioners, etc. Look at the...

Satellite View Here is another version of ariel photos. Click on this <a href=" http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.aspx?t=4&s=8&x=8924&y=62778&z=17&w=2">link</a> and you can view WDW from a satellite view provided by microsoft via terraserver. The images come from the USGS.

Perhaps this helps... As I learned during hurricane Elaine in the late 1980's the original design guidelines were for buildings to be able to withstand 90mph sustained winds with gusts up to 110mph. The subsequent design guidelines based on updates to related codes are 125mph sustained winds...

Interesting point that underscores it's the individual's responsbility to be respectful of others in a crowded environment. I don't think banning tripods resolves anything. There are plenty of weapons left: strollers, cigarettes, camera bags, backpacks, wheelchairs, running children and...

If Disneylands policies are an indiciation of what's to come at WDW, we will no longer be allowed to bring tripods into the park. For the few that don't know, tripods are used by photographers to hold a camera still during a picture (commonly used for night shots, self portraits, high zoom...

I travel all over the US for my job (sales) entertaining clients at nice, but not over the top, restaurants. My wife and I loved Fultons when we started going during our honeymoon in 1995, however our opinion is that as the prices have gone up the quality has dropped as quickly. We visit WDW...

Shortly after it opened... Disney had intended the park to be completed in a single day however guests expressed their expectation of a multi-day experience like EPCOT and MK, despite the common complaint at the time that EPCOT took too long to experience! Shows that people do not necessarily...

Not uncommon I wouldn't read much into it. It could have been more than a dozen things from casual conversation to discussion about a problem like shop lifting or a car that was broken into (the most common events that involve the police). I think Disney has done quite a good job of...

I Share the Same Feelings I'm 6'2" and about 280lbs, built like an NFL linesman. I used to hate it on RnRRC where the shoulder harness would barely go down looking more like a face guard than a shoulder harness. Finally last year I complained but the next day my eyes were opened... I rode...

Perhaps it would be too soon I understand how difficult it is to balance retaining the memory of those we lost, who included friends and a fraternity brother of mine, with the pain of those who lost loved ones. I suggest it's too early; that the emotions felt by many Americans are too strong...

Sponsored. FedEx no longer sponsors Space Mountain; all references were removed from the attraction quite some time ago unless I missed something which is always possible.

Blame the economy if anything... The answer is cost, ROI (return on investment) and association. In revese order, as Disney has gotten larger over the years and moved into the more radical side of the movie business (Miramax), the racier side of TV (ABC's NYPD Blue) and controversial...

I'm not sure if the two events were related, but the crews started dismantling the Med within a couple weeks of the statement that Disney would not continued to pursue 5 start rating for the GF. The understanding in Resorts was that the Med was meant to be a 5 star, as was the GF, and if they...

Construction started once before... I was working at CRO in 1990 when they started prepping a site between the TTC and Contemporary (around the start of summer I believe). I asked around and found out they were getting ready for construction of the Med resort. The GF was going for its 5 star...

Did anyone read my original post? I'm surpised at the responses - it's like people didn't read the posting. Exposed electrical wires - disney village marketplace and Journey Into Imagination. Broken sidewalks - Disney West Side (or whatever it's called) by Cirque du Soleil. Splash Mountain...

I returned from WDW this past Thursday (2/26) and found my trip disappointing. Guests were among the most friendly in recent history, cast members were decent (no sniping) and even funny in some cases, but maintenance is poor. I counted 6 major maintenance items on Splash Mountain alone in one...

Hit mousesavers.com Doesn't sound like much of a deal. When are you going? Look at mousesavers.com. I am an annual passholder and use the discounts often and have NEVER been asked to show my annual pass as proof (however they could look up the name I suppose).

Don't Judge a Book... I have read alot of emotional response to the Comcast offer, but very little in business analysis. The reality of takeovers is multi-dimensional. 1. 80% of takeovers fail to achieve stated cost savings goals espoused by executivesl. Comcast is focusing on the synergy...
