I am shooting to have him at 1,999 before the parade. Then there will be the meet & greet after the parade, and then time to walk over for the big SW2K. I am guessing between 4:00 & 4:30.

Got a call from one of the Dream Team yesterday - they want to put us in the VIP spot in front of the fire house for the 3:00 parade (I'll have to check to see what time that parade happens ;) ), and then afterward take us to City Hall for a private meet and greet with Snow White and some of the...

Ah, thanks for bumping this and reminding me - SW2K is still on for March 8th, but I don't know the exact time details yet. I got a call this morning from the area manager for entertainment at the Magic Kingdom, telling me that they were "planning something momentous for the occasion" and that...

Heh. I just re-read what I typed yesterday. To be clear, the certificate was *signed* by Snow White and Dopey, it was not singed. I am pretty certain there was no fire involved....

We just got back from the Magic Kingdom, Ben's first time there in over a month, and went on SWSA a dozen times. (Long story, search this forum for SW1K if you want the background). As near as I can tell, the rehab was primarily for safety upgrades. I did not see anything different in the...

Ah, good, it is back open! I thought about taking my son yesterday, but didn't want to risk going to the park and having the ride closed. That would be very bad. We will definitely head out today. Regarding the cascading backups, it used to be (before they did the major rehab a few years...

Through pure random chance, I happened to meet the Area Manager for entertainment at Epcot last night. That is, he is the area manager for entertainment at Epcot, and I met him last night when he joined the community choir that I sing in. He is a heck of a nice guy, and when I told him about...

With SWSA closed for rehab for the next two weeks, that has pushed back the date. It looks like the big day will be Saturday, March 8th. If management wants to contact me directly, just PM me and I will send you my contact info.

Oh, BTW - with SWSA being closed for rehab for the next two weeks, that will delay SW2K until probably March 8th.

*bump* Just checking to see if any of you heard back from your CM friends.

My son is autistic. We first took him to WDW in the spring of '02, and the minute he set foot in the Magic Kingdom he was a completely different kid. His language exploded, and he became more focused and present than we had ever seen him. After seeing similar results in a second trip a year...

For those of you contacting management on our behalf, thank you so much! If they need to speak to me directly, please private message me and I will give you my full contact info.

Ok, so my autistic son of SW1K fame (search the board for threads from '05 about SW1K) is now rapidly approaching 2000 rides on Snow White's Scary Adventures. My best guess is that he will hit that on or about February 23rd. Back when he hit 1000 rides, a couple of people on this board helped...

We have had our anniversary dinner at V&A for the past two years, and really enjoyed it. This last year there were no children in the restaurant, but I do remember the year before that there was a family dining with two grade school aged children. I must say, they were extremely well-mannered...

For all its worth: the 27th is my son's birthday, and a couple of years ago we planned on having a birthday dinner for him inside the Magic Kingdom. We had dinner reservations, and there were several people coming from different locations. The park closed for capacity that afternoon, and none...

Most of my time is spent in the Magic Kingdom with my (autistic) son, and certainly SWSA lost its luster for me a loooong time ago. That's kind of a specialized issue, though. Aside from that, the main thing to me is that spending time in the parks is just generally a lot more relaxed since we...

First of all, some background: folks who have been around the site for several years might remember SW1K, the day my son rode Snow White's Scary Adventures for the 1000th time. If you do a search on SW1K you can find the threads on the topic, and maybe even the video if it hasn't moved. In a...

Distance-wise, it is less than five miles from the AK parking lot to the MK parking lot. The bus drop-off and pick-up at the MK is actually right near the turnstiles, so you don't need to factor in monorail or ferry travel time. The taxi stand at the MK, on the other hand, is out at the TTC...

I travel on business several times a year, with MCO as my home airport. I can't remember the last time I experienced any kind of real delay there. Seattle, Las Vegas, Dallas/Fort Worth - all of those I have had lengthy delays getting through security in the last year or two, but never any...

If you are worried that your friend's daughter will see the kind of outlandish and sometimes obscene behavior that you might see at a San Francisco gay pride event, you needn't be. While there are certainly events that inspire that kind of thing in participants, Gay Days at WDW is not one of...
