    WDW Permits Part 4

    I'm curious about Project 2011-1A, which I haven't seen anyone talk about. They're installing three construction trailers, a new parking area, hardscape, utilities and a surface water management system (ie, a retention pond) near the current trailer compound next to the Stolport.

    Columbia Harbor House has restrooms both on the first floor (to the left of the service counters) and on the second floor (at the top of the stairs, in the back near the CM entrance/exit doors).

    Triton Installed on Ariel's Undersea Adventure at Disney California Adventure...

    The Disney Parks Blog has posted a video of the Triton statue being lifted to the roof: http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2011/02/king-triton-joins-cast-of-characters-at-the-little-mermaid-ariels-undersea-adventure/ The blog also answered my earlier question. It is the same Triton...

    Why Disney Doesn't Want Real Reporters ...

    My first cruise was on the Dream and I wasn't disappointed. But I did experience some of the problems that other people have reported. Was your first dinner in Animator's Palate? We had the 8:30 seating and our service was so slow that we had to order our desserts to go so we wouldn't miss...

    Triton Installed on Ariel's Undersea Adventure at Disney California Adventure...

    Is this the Triton statue that used to be in Disneyland's Little Mermaid meet and greet area, before it became Pixie Hollow? If it's being repurposed for DCA, then perhaps the same thing will happen at MK.

    New HitchHiking Ghosts Coming to WDW

    Here's a link to the patent: http://www.google.com/patents?id=usXUAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4&source=gbs_overview_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false As disnyfan89 states, the schematic shows that the transfer area would be placed in the turn between the unload and load belts.

    Tom Staggs Confirms Project of "NextGen" Nature

    People here seem to be focusing on the planning portion of Tom Staggs' announcement, which is understandable since that's mainly what he discussed. But he did hint at other plans about guest interactivity that will most likely be revealed later. Here's an excerpt from the Orlando Sentinel: Other...

    Tom Staggs Confirms Project of "NextGen" Nature

    It's a Disney term. For example, the official Disney bio page for Nick Franklin lists him as "Executive Vice President of Next Generation Experience at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Worldwide."

    How many Disney Crazies remember....

    Point of order: It was If You Had Wings, and it was sponsored by Eastern Air Lines. Not long after Eastern pulled its sponsorship in 1987, the attraction was reworked and became Delta Dreamflight. :) I have extremely fond memories of If You Had Wings. I would ride it repeatedly as a kid...

    What can the FLE area hold?

    I'm confused on what you mean by "attendance capacity." I've read that with all ships running, 20K could handle at most about 1800 guests per hour. The best guess estimates posted here for the new Little Mermaid attraction is around 2328 per hour. Dueling Dumbo would theoretically (though not...

    When does Dumbo move?

    As far as I can tell, they were kept for almost a decade in non-working condition until around 1963/1964. The Daveland web site has pictures of Dumbo from nearly every year since park opening. Here's a picture taken in June of 1963, when Dumbo still had the articulated ears...

    Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Discussion

    Heh. No problem, because DCA's website also uses the shorter name: http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneys-california-adventure/toy-story-mania/?name=ToyStoryManiaAttractionPage As Krack said, the prevailing explanation is that WDI wanted the full name for both attractions, while the...

    It's actually called Toy Story Midway Mania on both coasts.

    "El Pirata Y el Perico Restaurante" name changed to "Tortuga Tavern"

    :ROFLOL: I did the same detective work. It looks like all they did was paint Blackbeard's face and hat over the old pirate's face and hat. His clothing and the rest of the mural look exactly the same.

    "El Pirata Y el Perico Restaurante" name changed to "Tortuga Tavern"

    While there was a pirate with a smoking beard in the first movie, he did not wear a captain's hat and clothing. Blackbeard was well-known for making his beard smoke before combat to intimidate his opponents. Everything about the new mural, from the look of the hat to the wrinkle at the bridge of...

    "El Pirata Y el Perico Restaurante" name changed to "Tortuga Tavern"

    They've changed the mural next to the toppings bar to Ian McShane as Blackbeard, so perhaps more tie-in theming is in the works.

    Press event Tuesday, Jan. 18th.

    Yes, it would be a good idea to confirm your ADR. According to the Times Guide for Tuesday, Tony's Town Square will be closing at 3:00pm and will not be re-opening for dinner service.
