    Area of DAK closed (5/27)

    Yesterday (May 26th), I was at Disney's Hollywood Studios waiting for the 4PM Beauty and the Beast show. Some audience members near the front began waving towards the back of the theater, like they were trying to get attention to something happening up front. Two dancers came on stage to start...

    Car Tags

    For my personalized Florida license tag, I chose the Aquaculture design, because it features two clown fish that could be Marlin and Nemo. Also my "number" on the plate is THM PRX, meant to stand for Theme Parks.

    Water park shoes question!

    I wore sandals on one visit to Typhoon Lagoon. Kept them on in the lazy river and one got sucked into a drain. Never did find it. I had to buy water shoes at the gift shop so I could drive home!

    what happened to Have a Magical Day?

    I was at Disney's Hollywood Studios today, and as I left the Hollywood & Vine buffet, a cast member told me to have a magical day. So it's not completely dead.

    Favorite cancelled project/attraction?

    I'm curious about this book now. I looked it up on our local library's website and they don't have it. Amazon has it, but it's a bit expensive. Maybe I'll put it on my wish list.

    Orlando sanford airport

    I-4 is not a toll road, but you may be better off taking a toll road. I-4 has frequent accidents and traffic jams.

    Favorite cancelled project/attraction?

    I read a booklet about Epcot (when it was new), and it said Spain and Israel were coming to the World Showcase. I think one other country/area, too, but I forget which one. I saw on an old special on Epcot, Alex Haley talking about not a country in Africa, but a region coming to World...

    its gonna rain all week.. when do they put up the dome..

    I often go to the local theme parks (Disney & Universal's) on Saturdays, but cancelled the last two weeks because of the rainy weather. Ended up just going out to eat, and this past Saturday, to the movies. No big deal, I can wait, but I do wish all this rainy, cloudy weather would go away for...

    What got you hooked?

    We've been going since I was a baby, so I don't remember when I was hooked. My Mom says when I first saw Cinderella's Castle, my eyes went so wide. Maybe that's the moment! ;)

    Being Drunk in the World

    I've been on here a couple of years and haven't read a lot about instances like these. So what if it's been covered in other threads before! It's still interesting. And besides, who has time to research years worth of back threads to see if a topic has been covered before? Besides that, if...

    CM's Who Lost It

    I've had many pleasant exchanges with cast members. Then there are some that are awkward. I've decided to thank parking lot employees for helping me park at just the right spot in my space. When parking by myself in my everyday life, I often park too far behind or too over the line separating...

    Anyone going to be at HS when TSL opens?

    Although I'm a local, I have no plans to be there, the reasons being crowds. I may let the noise die down a little before trying to go on the rides, though I am anxious to try the sandwiches at Andy's Lunch Box.

    Best sit down restaurant at Epcot for young children?

    Garden Grill for the win! Teppan Edo is fun, too, but I'm afraid the little children would burn their hands as the stove/grill is part of the table.

    Where / What is this Building?

    Looks like the old Gourmet Pantry at the Disney Village. I don't know if it was there when this photo was taken, though.

    Treasure Island/Discovery Island

    I was there several times, along with my Mom. Some kind of small animal, I think it was called a capybara, had free roam of the park. There was this free flight aviary with scarlet ibis flying all around. It makes me kinda sad when I see the scarlet ibis at Animal Kingdom who don't get to fly...

    How did they enforce the long hair policy at Disneyland back in the day?

    Just for the record, Big Phil, I knew you were talking about guests. See, they made a joke a couple of times on the sixties' show "The Monkees" about not being let into Disneyland because of long hair. As for the answer to your question, well, I'm interested in finding that out, too.

    Why no Australia Park?

    I've thought about this myself. They could call it "Disney Down Under", and they could have multiple theme parks.

    Best Epcot Restaurant to View IllumiNations Fireworks

    I've heard that Rose & Crown (UK pavilion), Spice Road Table (Morocco) and La Cantina de San Angel (Mexico) are good for viewing Illuminations. But that's not first hand knowledge on my part.

    Thoughts on Fantasia Gardens

    A friend and I played at Fantasia Gardens one day, and it was fun. Unfortunately, I guess my body is not used to the kind of movements needed for miniature golf, and I was sore the next day. I've wanted to try Winter Summerland, but I'm afraid of the same thing happening to me. I got half off...

    Unmagical Day at the Magic Kingdom

    Was it the same rant, or was she complaining about something else? Do you have any links to share?
