    Tour?

    Lunch is included in the tour price. They don't allow any cellphones or cameras out when you're backstage. They also limit answering certain questions until they're backstage (incase anyone overhears and it spoils the magic)

    Terrible Disney Stories

    My sister went walkabout in WoL once. It was retrospectively quite funny because of course everyone was walking around the pavilion the same way so it took ages to locate her!

    This is why I hate college!!!!!

    That's not entirely true. If someone is deemed to be disruptive then they can ask them to leave. An example is that late students can be deemed to be disruptive to the learning environment and many lecturers will lock the door to the room once the class starts.

    This is why I hate college!!!!!

    Unfortunately, stereotypes don't just dissolve away. Perhaps you should read Marx because it seems to me that a lot of people might be surprised by what he actually wrote. Oh, and Einstein and Newton did teach and like most college lecturers they were primarily specialists in their field but...

    Take kids out of school for $1,200???? Y/N?

    My parents used to take me out of school when I was that age for an extra week attached to a regular vacation break, and yes when I was at WDW (or wherever) I enjoyed it, but catching up was hard (oh and for the record I was a straight A student) and I think in the long term I wished that they...

    This is why I hate college!!!!!

    First of all nationalized health insurance is irrelevant if there is nationalized healthcare. I live in a country with a nationalized healthcare system and government supplemented college fees and I'm not living in a Socialist country - SHOCKING!!!! Wait - isn't the US education system (up...

    Renting DVC and internet??

    They changed their policy in May-ish of this year so that DVC members get free internet when staying at DVC resorts. It doesn't apply when staying at the others. Neither does it apply for non-DVC members. Otherwise it's about $10 per contiguous 24 hours. (i.e. if you get it at 5:03pm Tuesday you...

    Old MGM Soundstages

    I remember they were using the Soundstage that had the corridor for filming stuff (it always used to be filled with sets) until Millionaire moved in.

    disneyland-to staty or not to stayoff property

    If anyone is a DVC member then don't forget you can use your points to pay for your stay at Grand Californian. We did so it didn't cost us a penny. Storytellers Cafe is great for breakfast and dinner. The chefs are really chatty (I had a nice conversation about Heroes) as are the characters...

    Hibachi Restaurant

    Personally I loved Teppan Edo. The food is great and it is an entertaining experience. In fact it is the one WDW restaurant my entire family loves. Give it a try.

    Pop Century is sold out for my dates.. ;( Should I go with all-stars ?

    Save the planet - take the bus. Actually, the great irony about the value resorts is that the buses are far more reliable - go figure

    disneyland-to staty or not to stayoff property

    I haven't stayed off-site per say (although I did live in LA - technically off-site I suppose). I also stayed at the GC. Staying on-site definitely made life easy and I thought that the hotel was AMAZING. Keep in mind that DL is surrounded by busy roads which you never see if you're staying on-site.

    Rope Drop/Magic Kingdom Opening

    The buses can get you there in plenty of time but make sure you allow extra (because of having to wait for the right one to arrive). I recommend avoiding the EMH park because most people from the resorts will be heading there

    First Time with 4 Year Old Questions.

    Be aware that you can still only take a maximum 3 ounce container of liquid through security so it's often better to buy drinks at the airport (after security). If your child is prone to motion sickness (i.e. car travel) then I'd recommend taking some anti-sickness medicine. If it has a...

    Just collecting dust

    Yeah, it was open at the Flower and Garden Festival back in April and it did look a bit like they'd gutted the whole place. The general shapes of everything were still there i.e. the Making of me theatre etc but no trace of WoL theming to be seen.

    How far in advance for massage reservations?

    I've had massages (and other h&b appts) but at SSR rather than WL. Each time we book after arrival and they're usually pretty free. they usually say that they've got availability every hour of the day! I should point out that I'm only ever booking 2 or 3 days before the day I want an appt. I'm...

    Song of the South

    As I was trying to say before that's the PROBLEM people have with it, rather than the film being racist. It gives the wrong impression of inter-racial relations within a community. Imagine if Disney made a film about concentration camps and showed Nazis and Jews being all happy, happy, happy...
