    Forget The Parks!!! I.....

    So many people spend so much time rushing to the parks, getting in early and collecting fast passes, planning out where every last second they will be standing in which ride in which park. There is so much to enjoy outside the rides, and even outside the parks themselves. It's too bad Disney...

    Types of guests at Disney

    Has it ever occurred to anyone that maybe the thing a lot of guests hate about Disney is that they have to do all this planning just to survive, let alone have a good time? When you are shelling out several thousand dollars to go get pummeled by Disney Marketing, the last thing many people want...

    Two Days - is it worth it?

    I may be able to head down to Orlando in a week and a half. I would have to basically pay for everything - airfare, hotel, eating, etc. And also tickets. The problem is, I am only going to be able to spend two days there, max. I have already been there plenty of times, so it's not like I would...

    New SSE Narrator

    Della Resse. Whoever it is, has to have a timeless, kind of spaceish voice. I think Jeremy Irons is too dark - makes you think you are going into a haunted future. What about the guy from the peperidge farms commercials, or the guy from Emprire Carpets?

    Strong euro makes U.S. homes a bargain for Europeans

    Seller beware: Home prices plunge http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/orl-homesales1107apr11,0,5418846.story?coll=orl-business-headlines Maybe those condos aren't such a good investment right now.

    The TTA

    What I am most worried about is that they would try to transform it into some other ride, probibly a showcase for their latest animated feature, and really destroy the idea of it being a ride through the future. I could stand a few plussses to it, but it still has to relate to being a ride...

    Strong euro makes U.S. homes a bargain for Europeans

    But are real estate prices down there still going up? Even if they are a relative steal compared to what they pay in Europe, if the value is going down, they are still going to loose money.

    Spur of the moment trip. Advice needed.

    Will you have a car? If so, I might suggest taking a trip to Orlando proper - they have a good science museum up there. You can also check out Winter Park, which is a pretty nice town with a lot of shops and places to stroll around.

    Muppets and Disney

    Disney an Henson were in discussions to sell the Muppets to Disney just before Henson's death in 1990. Almost went through, and there were rumors to them playing a bigger role in Disney MGM Studios. However after his death there was some kind of disagreement between Henson's heirs and Eisner...

    Ok, I REALLY do hate Soarin' (No I really do)

    I have to say that it does sound to me like it's a movie. For all the hype over it, from what everyone has described, it's just like some of the other IMax movies I have seen, the only difference here being you are suspended. I don't see what the hype is. On the other hand, I also can see where...

    Two day park hopper?

    Never mind. A) wrong folder b) I was looking at the ticket pricing link off of the front page. If you actually go into the booking screen the option is there (albeit very expensive!)

    Two day park hopper?

    Is there such a thing as a two day park hopper ticket? I want to head down there for a weekend. I only have two days to spend there at the parks. I will be alone, and there is really no way I would want to spend my entire day in one park, let alone one in and out. But looking on the web site...

    Ruined...POTC

    People who liked it would call it plussing. But the fact is it IS changed - listen to it - it's the same melody, it's not the same tempo, same volume, not as robust, and very much in the background. It is much more moody. And that's it - minor little changes can and do have very major effects.

    Epcot wand?

    I am hesitant to post a reply to this topic, as there are already several others already active on this subject, and I don't want to incite any more bickering. I did want to stress, though, that while I certainly DO have an appreciation of Spaceship Earth from an architectural standpoint...

    Can you ESCAPE reality at WDW as an Adult?

    Time for a little blasphemy again. I started going to Disney when I was in college, on spring break. That was a good 15 years ago, I have been going down ever since. I don't know if I would say that I ever got "lost" at Disney, but then again I never would feel comfortable doing that. But at...

    Are you a Disney or a WDW Fan?

    I honestly had thought this would turn out very different. I expected a majority of people to be big fans of everything Disney. I never imagined that this post would generate this interesting a discussion about being a fan. I too wish I had simply done the whether you are a disney fan or a WDW...

    Ruined...POTC

    Really? Capt. Jack Sparrow talked to you in the old version? I don't think so. They changed it. Used to be mostly a cycling music track with special audio effects and a few dialoues here and there. Now it's a whole storyline soundtrack - much darker, much more subtle. Doesn't have the rhythm...

    Are you a Disney or a WDW Fan?

    Wow. I am really surprised about the results! I had kind of thought we would find most people Disney Fans, and then find a big split between those who liked the wand and those who didn't. But it looks like things are neck in neck, really.
