    The Spirited 11th Hour ...

    Wonder if you could thread Tron in, around, and through Space Mountain launching from the Arcade?

    I'm A Believer: The New System Works

    I love MB. When I was at DL last year I really missed it. Would have greatly improved the experience.

    OS: Phones, not MagicBands, will be the Future of Disney's MyMagic+

    How's that supposed to work for families? Kids need phones too?

    WDW Permits 2016

    Sure. 30 story office building near my office was built on foundations from a hundred year old building (granted the poured a raft slab over it). The monorail footings (should they really exist) would be in no worse shape than the footings of the active monorail system. NB: I'm an architect.

    WDW Permits 2016

    Huh? Footings don't have expiration dates. I suppose any exposed reinforcing could be corroded, but there are ways of addressing that. Otherwise they should be in the same condition as the adjacent footings that are in service. Not that they'll ever be used

    Earfell Tower to be removed

    When one of the water towers in our town was decommissioned it was carefully dismantled and sold to a community down state. Evidentially it was cheaper than buying a new one.

    Disney Quest to close in July 2017

    Really? I'm an architect. Among other things I work in Corporate and Commercial architecture. That is the standard. It's called "Tenant Improvement Allowance" (TIA or just TI) and is negotiated at lease signing. There is also typically additional TI money at lease renewal.

    WDW Permits 2015

    I wouldn't get too excited, it could also be the new "Panel 7B Experience!" (Brought to you by Siemens) (Looking back EER is Electronics Equipment Room, which hopefully is more show related than a simple Electric Room would be.)

    WDW Permits 2015

    EER = Electric Equipment Room. P7B is likely the room number. EXP could be expansion?

    Andy's Room

    Any chance "Andys Room" was the working title for what became Buzz?

    Disneyland vs. Magic Kingdom poll(only those who have been to both)

    DL reminded me of the MK in my youth. Characters just walking around, vehicles driving around. I couldn't get over how nice everyone was (CM and vacationers. There was a family waiting to ride up front in the Monorail when my son asked and they instantly told us to go instead. WDW has...

    Kilimanjaro Safari

    The Simba animatronic in the parade at DL convinced me that Lion King should get a dark ride.

    Things I wish I would have known / Disappointment in DL

    On our recent trip to DL I was amazed at the CMs. They were excellent. When I asked the train conductor if we could get a picture of him with my son (who loves trains it was the first thing we went on, and went around the full trip) he was great - he switched hats with my son so we have pictures...

    Is Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad too scary for a 5 year old girl?

    My son is 6 1/2 and will not do Splash or Big Thunder (he did them once each when younger) my nephew who is just a couple months older loves both. We did rider swap on BTMRR at DL and it worked out well so my wife and I could ride.
