    Top 10 most technologically advanced Disney rides in the world?

    Well, no, if that's the criteria they don't. But Real Time Animation, in my opinion, "out-techs" any sort of ride on a track or robotics. Just sayin'. :)

    Top 10 most technologically advanced Disney rides in the world?

    Nobody mentioned MONSTERS LAUGH FLOOR or TURTLE TALK! And while not technically "rides", they are more technologically advanced than anything else I've seen.

    Oops!

    Near Miss! On our last trip, my daughter brought her sacred "Doll" with her, which is like a security blanket to her. We had all agreed that she couldn't take it into the parks for fear of losing it, so no problem there. We hadn't been at POR for much more than an hour, when we went to look...

    What's the point of LEAVING NEW JERSEY??? Let me count the ways..... ;) Sorry, couldn't resist! I have relatives in new Jersey and the New Jersey Football team beat the Patriots, so I'm with ya! Honest! :) But on topic, I guess I found Living with the Land a little "dry" and Spaceship...

    Disgusting! Stories

    Most of the stores I go to have employees who don't look like they know anything.....so I understand why they may have confused you for one of them! :lol:

    How old was the first time you took your child to WDW?

    That's a common argument and of course, you pretty much refuted it yourself by pointing out that the Zoo, library, park and beach do not cost thousands of dollars. (Unless you have to fly to the beach, in which case I would wait for that, too) I mentioned earlier that if you have older...

    How old was the first time you took your child to WDW?

    Then for your next poll, I suggest you say something like "Please answer the question, but do not provide any reasoning or opinion on the subject"

    How old was the first time you took your child to WDW?

    I'm sorry you took umbrage. I made the mmistake of thinking all opinions were welcome. Sorry about that. If you recall, I also said that if you want to take an infant, go right ahead. Not everyone is so fortunate as you to go multiple times in a year. I'm very glad you had a positive experience.

    Has anyone ever thought you'd be better off not visiting these boards?

    I completely understand. There is a good deal of information available here, but also a large dose of negativity from....well......a good number of folks. My advice is to search for the info you need, ask a question if necessary, respond to a question if you can help and let the freaks...

    Terrible experience just now

    Reason #25 to book through a Travel Agent! (And I am NOT one) There is no way I would have allowed some phone operator to talk to me that way. She's be feeling some "magic" from me pretty quickly and so would her supervisor, no matter how high up I had to go.....

    Port Orleans Riverside

    With respect, I'm not sure this is true. I stayed at Parterre Place last April and LOVED IT!! It certainly is no more than a 5 minute walk to the main building and bus stop, but if you look at a map, it is still not exactly the closest building to the main complex. Because of the necessity...

    How old was the first time you took your child to WDW?

    Oh, this is such a highly opinionated topic.... I read all the posts so far and I think it's very telling that the first two used the word "dragged" when referring to very young children on their first trip. And about half the other posts indicated their kids don't (or probably don't)...

    BIG Ratings News

    Well alrighty then. I had hoped you were kidding, but one never knows. (And actually, it's sunny and the roads are all clear) :)

    BIG Ratings News

    Maybe so, but the fact is that bad weather usually INCREASES viewership. Furthermore, the trend is not specific to my market. This is well documented in the trades. I have been a fan of the show in the past and I still watch it. Don't be so defensive.

    BIG Ratings News

    I'm so glad you brought this up, because TV ratings are what I do for a living. IDOL is indeed, still pulling big ratings. HOWEVER, it is also true that the show is down considerably from last season and in fact, is on track to have its lowest season in 5 years. In my market (one of the best...

    I really thought of taking it back, but we were so flabbergasted that someone would have such nerve....we just wanted to get out of there. I wish I had it to do over again... :)

    ADR at Rainforest Cafe

    This is incorrect, unless it has changed from last year. We made ADR's through Disney to Rainforest AK and also to Puck's. No problem. They did tell me that Rainforest wasn't on the dining plan, which I knew, but they still made the ADR. Would not go back to Puck's again. Okay, but...

    In your case, I would have done two things: 1) write the word "cash" on the credit card receipt in the tip line so they would know to look for it. 2) And if that guy had followed me out, I would have gone back inside with him, shown him the cash on the table -- then put it back in my wallet...

    This reminds me of a great example of people "expecting" a tip... We were in a group of friends (about 8) that went to a comedy club for dinner and a show. At last call, the wives figured out how much everybody owed (Yay! I didn't have to do it) and the husbands did as we were told and threw...

    This is a topic I find interesting and am always thinking about. Disclaimer #1: I always tip Disclaimer #2: I almost always hate doing it Mostly I hate doing it because I always feel I am being judged by the amount I leave (which is always at least 15% or more). I hate figuring it out. I...
