Buzz predated MIB, I'm pretty sure...

IT Roles at WDW Here's what I hear from (usually) reliable sources... Most of the networking roles have been outsourced... and further outsourcing continues (though I honestly do not have the details). IBM is indeed the major vendor, so far. Ride systems, such as the software running...

My friend Minnie I had stopped to call a friend back home, from one of the phones outside Innoventions. In the middle of the conversation, a gentle tap at my shoulder and there stood Minnie, big as life. She pointed at the phone and extended a hand, so I passed it to her. Over the phone, my...

Thank you for the verbal picture!

Hey, you over there. Hail! Hail to You! Wow! It's so great to know our prez makes frequent appearances here in town. And he poses for pictures, too! ;) Maybe I can get him to autograph my Ted Rall book.

You probably figured this, but just in case, I'd like to point out that groups don't have to rent an entire park. Often one will rent a single attraction - for example, American Adventure; serve food in the rotunda, then maybe have special entertainment and/or character appearances as well as a...

Kudos Kudos to Rcoaster809 and parents for helping so many people enjoy their WDW visits. It sure helps to have a little savvy about what's available, and how to make best use of time, etc. Nice of you to share!

The HM Cast move from place to place throughout the attraction; sometimes at the queue, sometimes at load or unload. In any role, you have to make your own opportunities for interaction. Doing so appropriately is an art; saying the right thing to the right Guest.

Beware frequent trips My first visit was in '76. Stayed offsite and made two day trips to the Magic Kingdom, the only park then. Enjoyed it, but would not call it a life-changing experience. Kind of expensive; the ticket book was like, $7 plus an extra 50 cents to park. In '79 I returned...

Another Sonic If you happen to be on the "East-West"... which is Route 408, at the Southern edge of Downtown O-Town... head East 7 miles or so to Semoran (which is 436... takes you down to the airport.) Anyway, just North of that 408/436 interchange, you shall find thine Sonic. Or you could...

I would add that with the Cast, Stitch merchandise is a top seller... at least as evidenced of the mechandise that keeps running out at Company D stores. Latest is the lanyard with Stitch holding a nametag (a bite taken out of it, of course). The pin with similar design remains in stock...

Thanks for your thoughts, StitchFan712. I'm with you. The movie brought us the best original character since Simba... and even more versatile. The Simba character looses something because there are three of them... the cub, the youngster and the mature lion. But back to Stitch. He can...

Ok, nothing wrong with this post, but it needs to be moved to the General Discussion thread. natahrumor...

Gobble Bingo, Mike Thomas! Recycled is exactly the word for it, and what a pity to waste the latest truly original all-Disney character - also last (for a while) great hand-drawn character - on this half-baked turkey.

Directions to this Publix... Turn right at the end of Hotel Plaza Blvd, heading towards I-4. As you proceed towards the I-4 exchange, head towards the left lane. Go under I-4, then turn left at the next light - Vineland Avenue. That's the intersection where you see "Bahama...

Egionet, above, hit the nail on the head. I'd just add that your semester at WDW will be real-world, ground-level experience. You'll see a major corporation from the perspective of the hourly personnel who sustain it. That may cause you to appreciate the opportunities provided by a college...

Bring your wooden shoes I haven't stayed at the Grosvenor, but walked through quite a bit of it recently at a conference. I was surprised how old and battered it seemed! Much need for paint, fresh carpeting, and fixing of nicks and dents everywhere. The only part of the hotel that seemed...

Belgian Meat Skillet (with a side of wings) Please add my vote to the 'H's. It seemed like every effort was made to effectively recycle Alien Encounter show elements, but little effort spent on an original concept and script. Stitch is a great character with huge potential, and so deserves...

I think so. And I think that Roger still appears in SpectroMagic. Also, the huge Jessica sign that once adorned a Pleasure Island gift shop (selling lingerie, among other items) is now at the West End of P.I. I think that gift shop was replaced by the current games area, b.t.w. I don't...
