    Disney planning a new Western Beltway Property

    As presented? Not at all. I do think that there could be some benefit to a DTD2 if it was done with a more urban theme to it, something like a minature Harvard Square or European City or something like that. With more quaint alternative shops, cafes, and such. But a shopping plaza with a...

    Disney planning a new Western Beltway Property

    But to be honest, how many people are going to go shopping and carry everything back on a crowded bus? If you are really aiming for that, then the guests will likely rent a car, and then why not head up the street to Winn Dixie or Goodings? HOw accurate is this rumor, and also, is this eing...

    Disney planning a new Western Beltway Property

    That's what I am thinking. I can't for the life of me figure out why Disney would WANT to enocurage development on that side, but perhaps this is what they think is a chance to get in at the ground level on that kind of development. Perhaps we are thinking a little too big on this - again I...

    Legends of A DTD Boat Driver

    Hey - I had that boat driver a couple of weeks ago! Just goes to show you you can't trust everything you hear. They are about as interested in good scoops as you are.

    Disney planning a new Western Beltway Property

    Something just doesn't seem right about this. Disney already had Crossroads - which is more or less exactly what they are talking about here, and that failed. And that was in a more accessible spot! The property is not hurting for hotel rooms anymore, and if they were, they could quickly...

    New monorail purple skin

    I have to concur that it looks much better in person. It really is not that bad. They did apply it oer only the first car, so that looks a little out of whck - it should have extended for more of the whole monoorail. They also should have dones something to over teh strip up - that looks a bit...

    night and day....

    I am a lighting person, so I think the whole MK is just that much more special fter dark. Same with Epcot. Any ride that is outdoors is usually better, although I do find a few of them could use a little more lighting. In paticular I like the Riverboat and TTA at night. As far as Kilimanjaro...

    Nemo in Epcot

    What storyline? I figured wnough that Nemo went missing, but really there was no cohesive plot, just a bunch of images. Perhaps a better understandable dialogue would help, but nothig actually happens. The ride itself is almost all projected images. Yes, they ue multiple projectors so that...

    JetBue?

    You will almost always get a better price (or at least the same price) by going through their website. That really holds true for almost any airline.

    Nemo in Epcot

    So I rode the new Nemo ride in Living Seas. As a ride it was pretty good - not really huge, but more than just a short ride. It resembles Horizons vehicles in that they sit sideways and have a central opening door, although the vehicles are not suspended. The story line lacked a bit. Quite a...

    JetBue?

    JetBlue has been labeled as a low cost carrier, but they are really more of a high-service carrier than most of the other airlines. to start with, they offer more legroom - everything aft of the exit rows offer 34" of legroom. They also have direct TV, and on the smaller Embraer planes also...

    What kind of car did you get?

    I think there are a number of people who are at least somewhat interested in what kind of car they can expect when renting in Orlando. Each rental company offers different cars, and each location offers something different again. So, I am proposing that we note what kind of car we got when we...

    Boardwalks - Outside of Disney

    We may have to vacate the Disney property for a day or two, and I am looking for something interesting to do. I am intrigued with some of the more natural Florida landscape - anyone know of any good parks in the area, particularly ones that might have a boardwalk and/or river/spring?

    Res system going down this week

    It was. Or at least thatis what she told me. Of course, I just tried again, spent another 20 minute son the phone only to get someone who told me the system was up but now down again. So far I have spent at least $45 in long distance calls to Disney trying to make reservations. I am going...

    Res system going down this week

    So if none of the stuff from Thursday on is entered into the system, come Monday when it is back up, are we to expect everything is going to be booked up? I need to make resies for the week following, and the only way I can afford to stay on property is a room only or AAA discount. Bu that is...

    The Thrill of TTA

    Simple. TTA is one of the best theme rides in WDW. How's that? Almost every other ride in the parks is a ride in and of itself. You enter a building, the ride takes place within it's own environment, and then you exit. Even those rides which are outdoors are essentially isolated. TTA and...

    What is the fate of Carousel of Progress?

    How exactly does a ride become "unprofitable"? That seems to be a catch phrase lately, but I don't understand it. I know there is a cost associated with running any ride, and if there are not enough people riding the ride that it would be more cost effective to replace it with something more...

    Palm Parkway - Weird Request

    This is a wierd request, but it bugs me every time I try and make travel plans. Here is a Google Erath image of Palm Parkway. Can someone please identify which hotels are which along the route? I know that Embassy Suites is the one in the far right, and Comfort Inn is the big one just up from...

    Spaceship Earth Refurbishment Progress

    Well, considering one of their sister divisions (or however they organize themselves) builds people movers and transportation systems, I would imagine that they would want to create a bit of an impression of how good their products are.
