To expand a little on what was said before, yeah, the 1st part of the NYE show is the regular RoE show. Then, they add the NYE tag. At least for last year, the woman came on said something about, "Some of our World Showcase countries have already celebrated their New Year's Eve." They don't...

I'd agree that overall, if you only have one day, you should see DisneySea. The theming is just so amazingly incredible and, assuming you like details as a Disney fan, it's interesting to see their sub technology (20k Leagues) and Journey to the Center of the Earth. That said, I *do* think...

Here, here!! I was so disappointed when I was there for NYE 2005 and it wasn't the same voice anymore. That voice is so monotonous and stale; lacked inflection and definitely made you want to tune it out. I heard several guests comment on how they wish he'd stop talking. I realize Disney...

I agree with everyone. It's enough for me to see the perimeter fireworks and the parade!

As has been posted, they are the same. We here at DL were actually disappointed b/c we were REALLY hoping that WDW would fix the infamous "non 1st row" problem. i.e. the best seat in the house really is the first row of a glider. A friend agreed that there's no design reason why they couldn't...

That was my 1st reaction as well. Except for the colors, looks like stylistic clone of Paris. Very AWESOME indeed! The blue/yellow umbrellas - is that really going to help? I agree they look out of place and I can't imagine that will provide sufficient escape from the Florida...

That would be really cool but think of the maintenance nightmare that would be. Kinda like the initial maintenance of the swordfighting pirates at DLP. I doubt they would do this for the same reason they didn't want to spend the money for our (DL) Auctioneer to crack his whip.

This is the same behavior as at Disney-owned resorts as well. They no longer take them to your room (it's been several years since they did, but I wish they still did!)

I'm curious to see the impact of this as well. While I've noticed some guests being, umm, "challenged" at use of the old machines, it never really reached a problem that I experienced. And the CM's stationed every few machines was enough to keep things moving. What are locals' opinion of the...

Interesting, I've never had that happen to me. Then again, I'm not usually up that early :-) But last time I was, I was making a bee-line to Bear Band, haha, not most people's 1st early morning destination to be sure!

That may be but I'd follow JPVonDrake's advice just to be safe. I have had Security get y with me for wanting ONLY to dine at the Resort without being a Resort guest. I was actually re-routed, told to Park at a theme park and take transport over. He was emphatic that only that Resort's...

This is really a tough one. For me, it depends on what vantage point I want to get in the video camera. - If I want great reflections of the fireworks in the lagoon, or the best view of the sphere, I view it from Italy, to the left of the bridge if you're looking toward SSE, in the corner...

Yes, please see it in person someday before making a final judgement. You know how difficult it is to guage these things from a 320x240 little window sitting in a desk chair. Maybe you'll feel the same way, but as I say, wait until you can get the full effect; with ghost sounds coming from the...

Sorry, 39 years, didn't mean to exaggerate but you get the point :-)

*NOW* I know where I've seen you, haha... go on MySpace much? Aren't we having this same debate over there, haha :-) Anyway, I can't tell if the intent of your comment is w/o Disney parks in general there'd be no Pirates movie, or WDW specifically. I can't imagine you'd be saying the latter...

Hey, that's awesome - congrats! And server experience is always a plus with Disney and it'll make it easier to hire you with past experience. Serving can be pretty decent pay indeed at WDW. So, to quote Whoopi Goldberg in "Golden Dreams", "You keep those dreams alive!" Haha, cheesy I know...

Wouldn't there be good views of Epcot? Seems like you'd get good views of Future World or at least backstage Epcot? And aren't there a few lake-side facing rooms, over where that quiet pool is closest to Epcot?

Also solved by purchasing a rain jacket from B&H (or elsewhere). If it's an attraction I care about, I generally do a left side taping, right side taping, forward taping, and zoom shots taping, minimum. For Splash, I also did a ride through with the rain jacket on so I could get every drop in...

And for a while this was widely rumored to be on the drawing boards for Disneyland Paris since it would have themed well nicely next to Phantom Manor. I think that was more of an Internet rumor though. Before the WRE rumor was the Splash Mountain rumor, which was serious, until EDL's fortunes...
