WOO HOO - by this time tomorrow... (I *need* this getaway!!)

This was the Sentinel's writeup. The info here seemed plausible, in stating that the 350 acres were non-contiguous and therefore likely to be used for infrastructure or existing Park expansion. I think it says, or my assumption was, that the real wetland offset is development of existing...

OK, hadn't heard that, thanks. Now THAT'S exciting!! So it basically really is a DCA-caliber makeover, then. I know some like to rip on EPCOT, but I've thought for years that DHS needed help WAY more urgently than EPCOT. Glad to see that happening. Now please just update rather than get rid of...

Because I can't help getting nostalgic... (from 1989, my 2nd trip ever to WDW)

I think that Disney raising its stake for DLP is the best thing that could happen to it. It's SUCH a beautiful Park, and deserves so much better. DLP was saddled with so much debt from its inception, with everyone patting the money-men on the back for devising such a complex financial structure...

Please tell me that "whole new experience" won't be carted over from Paris' Toon Studios. I mean, for Paris, that's better than nothing at that park, but the last thing we need is another "Dino-Rama". Semi-related, I also don't get why Disney is so eager to replicate Toy Story Playland at the...

Sure, sure, but I'm guessing they still have the pattern around somewhere... or a "oh look, we found 500 more"... or print them on a different colored background... ;)

I'm *really* hoping that at Destination D, they sell those cool Maelstrom shirts I saw people wearing the last few weeks it was open... *Loved* those shirts!

That's one word for it... ;)

Well, I could see them using the theatre space as a finale scene, with the ride vehicles sort of arching around it.

My sense is that OLC didn't really take the whole multi-day destination resort thing seriously until Disney started making every location a "Resort". I mean, Disneyland didn't really get into the hotel game either until it bought the rights back from Wrather Corp, and then leased the Pan...

Beyond time and budgets, if we assume the original design intent of World Showcase still holds :ducks:, no single country was ever supposed to have more total acreage available to it than another, partly to avoid disputes and partly to express the optimistic ideal of parity among nations. I...

Mom has been spoiled by Disneyland Hotel and so that's where we always stay, but we *have* stayed at Sequoia, too. Frankly, I liked Sequoia a lot. I mean, sure, it's not the Disneyland Hotel, but I thought it was quite nice, and I liked the theme. If you end up with a room with a view of the...

GoofGoof, IMO, international visits have always been a *huge* value. I did the following analysis for a friend I took with me to Tokyo Disney this past May, because she was curious to know what we would have spent on the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel... We were there 5 nights, Tues through Sat. I'm...

Fascinating analysis, GoofGoof! (Lemme guess, your 2nd favorite character is "GusGus"?? :)) Makes me want to check GCH... As I was telling some friends: with the maintenance fees I paid, I got to take a friend to Tokyo Disney, her first international Disney resort, where we stayed at the Tokyo...

I've had 2 friends buy from the Timeshare Store, and both report positive experiences. For them, the primary consideration was cost, and they did not ever plan to use the Cruise (much has been said about the cruise not being a financially sound use of your points), or stay in non-DVC resorts...

To each his own, respectfully, but I'm pretty excited about this event, actually. My main reason for going is the Fair stuff. I had occasion to be in NYC a couple of months ago, and made it a point to head out to Flushing Meadows. I'm so glad I did, and came away with a different experience...

I know personally of 3 different people for whom this deal is affecting: 1) Was going to go before summer anyway, but is now scrambling to make sure she/her family can take advantage of the deal 2) Had vague plans to go to WDW "late next year" but is now also scrambling to take advantage of...

The AA figures in MMR are pretty bad. I think the animation in SWSA might actually be better. I'm tellin' 'ya, I don't think they've even touched the technology since it came over from FL.
