    Nice Article and Photo Tour of Dream

    I found an article I would like to share on the Disney Dream and it's first (promo) cruise which occured right after it's christening ceremony. It's written by Peter Knego who I have been following for a while. He has visited and documented features and details of many old and new ships from...

    Cinderella Castle Suite

    Well you might want to be aware according to the Permit thread they just filed the documents to install a new security system. :)

    Gaston's Tavern

    It's an old Soda Fountain drink of chocolate syrup, milk, and soda water. It actually has no eggs. That could actually work as a replacement for Gaston's Egg Drink. The other thing we're overlooking here - food. Seeing Gaston is a hunter, I'm picturing Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Turkey Legs...

    Gaston's Tavern

    No but that doesn't stop Disney from possibly coming up with something new that could potentially become as famous. Everyone raves about Butterbeer, but how many of us also need a Dole Whip Float on an Orlando trip? (Okay not an original or themed drink, but we all still flock to it!) And why...

    New Fantasyland details/concept drawings!

    Circus Disney would be nice too, but in this age of 3D movie attractions and live shows I really can't picture an all Animatronic stage show anytime soon.

    New Fantasyland details/concept drawings!

    Thanks, Roundhouse it is! Looks like a nice bit of theming. Some might accuse them of doing Circusland on the cheap with two out of three tents staying and barnstormer only getting essentially a coat of paint, but there are some nice things going on here. Also I like the whole idea of...

    New Fantasyland details/concept drawings!

    Thanks for the close ups of the "master plan"! Few of interesting things in this picture. Looks like there will be a water play area near the location of the current TTF playground. Looks like it might be themed to be a Train Roundhouse (has a semi-circular shape, and the train engine...

    New Fantasyland details/concept drawings!

    I have a feeling the Cheshire Cafe will be located where the Enchanted Grove currently sits. That could mean it simply gets the "Mrs. Pott's" treatment, with a facelift to it's facade and maybe a new menu. (Isn't Enchanted Grove just about the only part of "old" FL that's hasn't received a...

    Help Needed...Accomadations

    Don't let the onsite/offsite thing get to you, I've done both and actually prefer offsite for the exact reasons you listed. The Radisson is a good bet, usually a decent rate for somewhere a bit better than the standard hotel. There might be better deals to be had out there on...

    New Fantasyland details/concept drawings!

    The official response from the Parks Blog is there isn't a time set for it's closure. I would guess it won't close at least until Mermaid or something else opens too keep capacity at a decent level. Remember TTF closes next month, that's going to have a fairly decent effect on capacity...

    New Fantasyland details/concept drawings!

    Think the Eiffle Tower at the France Pavilion... similar tricks will be used to make it look in the distance and tall, but really only a few yards away and really only one or one story or so extra on top of the main building.

    New Fantasyland details/concept drawings!

    I know this is concept art, so there are certain artistic liberties happening here, but anyone else notice the first two tents (the store and current princess/fairy M&G) look untouched save a new paint job, but Mickey's judges tent seems to have been replaced by a new more rectangular one...

    Disney Junior begins February 14

    I'm amazed it has taken Disney this long to have a separate channel for young kids in the US. (and it's still not coming till 2012!) We've had Playhouse Disney as it's own full channel in Canada for the last three years, and it's doing fairly well. It's my daughter's favourite channel. But...

    Any new news on the missing Monorail?

    The delay I would say it due to two reasons: First maintenance couldn't do much with the trains until the investigation into the accident was completed, that took a few months. Second, it's been around twenty years since the Mark VI's were built. They are having to fabricate many of the new...

    Where does Cinderella's Castle rank as a landmark in the USA?

    I'm not an American so I'm not really qualified to make a list I guess, but consider this angle: If all of the people in the USA, Toddlers to Seniors were asked the OP's question, now how would the castle rank? My daughter for example knows some local landmarks, but outside this city the only...

    Need hotel one night before, one night after WDW stay

    Can't give you suggestions for the absolute cheapest, I usually avoid those, but here's some fairly affordable places I've stayed over the last five years and have had nice experiences with: http://www.comfortsuiteskissimmee.com/ http://www.seralagohotel.com...

    Planner or Winger?

    Mostly a winger... the only things I usually plan is what day were going to Chef Mickey's and the "tradition" of going to MK on the first and final days of the trip. Other than that, we usually pick which park to go to the night before, or the morning of, decide which ride to go to first and...

    International Drive hotels

    You may have to go further north, closer to Universal rather than south unless you're willing to go south to the W. Bronson Memorial Hwy. Unfortunately I-Drive south of the SeaWorld/Convention Center area is fairly new, and the few properties that are down that way are mainly family suite...

    'Let the Memories Begin' castle projection test video

    Hate it if it means we're going to see a projection screen hanging in front of the clock/balcony every night, all night while this thing runs. Not too mention this will end up being yet another show that reduces the already limited time you can walk through the castle.

    Official "Let the Memories Begin" Poll

    They could have done better, but I'm not totally against the idea of the photo show. I just don't like how the test video shows a screen will be placed in front of the Clock/Balcony area. I assume it will not be present all the time, but judging by similar events in the past, how long will...
