Pizza memories I don't think so. I think the Mickey pizzas were at Electric Umbrella, after Pasta Piazza closed. What I remember from Pasta Piazza (and earlier from the predecessor to Electric Umbrella) was the rectangular pizzas. They were deep-dish; I think each was one of six...

Reality check But keep in mind there are hundreds of applicants - internal and external - for any salaried job. Chances of landing one of those positions without being a College Program/Intern first are, in my humble experience, infinitessimal.

Craig's List If you have no family or pets, you may want to consider renting a room, or a "carriage apartment" (room over a garage). These are fairly common in downtown Orlando, which is one of the nicer places to live. Both provide more privacy, peace and quiet than an apartment. If you...

In anticipation of "Sourcerer II" it would be fantastic if they would move The Hat from the Studios and The Wand from Epcot to some prominent place along World Drive, and then stick a billboard between them advertising the latest and greatest "down under" production. But I dunno. Soon it...

Amazing how "not show ready" that area looks. Granted, it is temporary, but before directing guest traffic in that direction you'd think they would have put a second coat of paint on the ceiling. Spots between the sprinklers are really bad, then the vertical spaces surface above them has bare...

Awesome One thing about our cultural decline. It is at least consistent.

History (and cm1988) repeats... Mr. Iger, tear down that wand!

Hazards of the job Very nice pictures. Snow White, possibly? Whatever you choose, do not let them cast you as Tinkerbelle. They throw you out the castle window as fireworks go off all around you.

Why golly yes, it did. And it seems to authenticate what my transportation host said. Did yours mention Fire Mountain at the Magic Kingdom, the Swiss "Matterhorn" pavilion out in World Showcase, and the "Star Tours - Pod Racer" enhancement? Thank you, SambaHat, for reminding us of these...

Yawners How about the movie upstairs in the Land...whatever they call it now? It is slightly more entertaining than Symbiosis, the original film that was re-edited to include Simba and friends. I agree it is too bad what they did to cute little Figment; brought him back as a brat. Too...

Waaaay back when I swear, "O Canada!" goes further back than 1981. In 1967, Montreal hosted the best world's fair, ever - Expo67. Near the geodesic dome of the U.S. Pavilion on St. Helen's Island, the Bell Canada film featured a Walt Disney Circlevision 360 film about Canada. I remember...

Stitch for the Holidays I heard that the Cast Holiday Sale included a lot of Stitch merchandise. Sorry, not a cm anymore and so did not get to see for myself. Next time at the MK, it would be interesting to check the "post-show" store to see if it still has mostly Stitch items... or if they...

Would suggest asking if they'd like to join you for the late dinner you have planned (8:00 pm or later). Then (after they accept) say great, it will be fun, and of course we won't hang out too late... understanding it will have been a long day. If they say they'd like to meet earlier in the...

When friends who are new to Dinosaur want to ride, I'll sometimes warn them "Keep telling yourself - no one has ever been injured by a mechanical dinosaur at Disney." Or if they're the less-fragile type, I'll keep my mouth shut and let them experience the fear. But honestly, that's what I tell...

FYI to ambient/space/minimalist music fans... similar music is to be found 24/7on XM 77.

Very good, I hear the melody now, but still don't recognize it. Currently, they're playing the awful holiday music in Future World... other times, the loops are pretty familiar. I worked in Future World 7 years, and now am an annual passholder. Still lurk about. So back to that melody...

So its all about the money I guess the message here is, if it makes financial sense, it makes WDW a stronger company and a better place for Guests, right? That's the society in which we live. The dollar rules. Oh, we give lip service otherwise, but actions speak louder than words. We're...

Now for some unsolicited advice (but on thread, at least) :sohappy: Kudos for that post, MouserMerf People get stuck many places. You see them at the local grocery, at the regional mall, even in office buildings downtown. Wherever you are, if you don't like your job, get a plan. Don't...

What were they thinking? Gosh, I wish they would remove the blinkin' wand. SSE is a unique, beautiful work of architecture. The wand looming over it is commercial symbolism of the most trite, contrived order. While they're bringing in the crane to do the noble deed, let's have them...

Giving it up Ok, I wasn't supposed to divulge this secret information, but few people will see this, anyway. Both the Hat and the Wand are moving to the new Villains park to be constructed along Western Way, (and accessed via monorail extension). The wand will no longer say Epcot, of...
