Thanks, Sorry I guess I didn't notice it the last time I was there, and I was looking at some park maps online the other day and didn't see it on there. Must have been an outdated map.

Thanks Jekyll, I had imagined that they would need to count some of those things in order to achieve the 999 count, since there clearly aren't 999 animatronics on the ride.

One trivia question I've always wondered about: Are there actually 999 ghosts as they claim?

I'm really hoping that Everest becomes one of those classic attractions that's beloved by many. From what I've heard and seen, it doesn't seem too crazy of a roller coaster, so I do think it will have more appeal to a wider audience. My thinking is the wildness of the coaster will be faster...

I heard on Inside the Magic this week that the website will be information on the ride, as well as information on Mount Everest once the opening of the attraction gets closer.

Do you guys know how long the Christmas version is up? We'll be in WDW from Jan 1-8, and I've never seen the Christmas show before. Was just wondering if it'll be up while we're there.

I really hope MousePlanet is off by a little bit. We're heading out to WDW on January 1-8, and we were really hoping that there was an outside chance at a soft opening sometime while we would be there. The coasterradio.com interview with Joe Rhode seemed to suggest that there might be...

Thanks for the trip report. We're heading out in January, and I can't wait! It's so weird to see that Soarin' was the only place you encountered a real wait; it's good to know that the fastpasses were gone early, so we'll have to make sure we get one in the morning.

Hi Macsmom, I listen to Inside the Magic, Mouse Guest Weekly, and Mouse Tunes. I think they're all informative, and each show has a different slant to it: Inside the Magic: Up to date goings on at the WDW parks, and there's usually a pretty long segment on different Disney collectibles...

Great new pics! It seems like almost all of the scaffolding on the outside of the attraction is down. Are we to assume that they are ahead of schedule and will be opening the ride sooner than expected? I really hope they do, but it's also difficult to say how finished the inside of the...

I've loved Cranium Command since it first came out. I just thought it was so funny for adults, and a lot of fun for the kids too. I think I was able to see it 3 or 4 times during it's run, and I was glad that my wife got to see it with me once on our 2002 trip. I'm sad to see it shut down...

Every time there's a construction update, this ride just keeps looking better and better. I think I'll freak out if the ride's open for a soft opening when I'm there in January '06.

Updating Star Tours would be really great; my dream idea would be an update made with CGI that included different ride experiences depending on which simulator you were in. You could have 2 different ride movies from the prequels and 2 from the original trilogy. I think the technology is old...

I totally agree with you about renovating WoL with a relaxing atmosphere. I think Epcot's kind of lost its focus on educational attractions over the last few years, and has gone more of the thrill ride route. While I love M:S and TT, I do miss the days of the huge animatronic dark ride...

I don't think I'll miss WoL too much, except for Cranium Command. Although campy and outdated, it really was a fun show for little kids and a funny show for adults with all of the good-natured humor. I loved all of the involvment of SNL cast members. I was glad that my wife got to see it...

Very cool. Thanks again for the info.

That's really interesting. Thanks for the distinction on this. I never knew how separate Walt kept the Walt Disney Company and WED. So what eventually happened to WED? I'm assuming that it evolved in to Walt Disney Imagineering, but do the company lines still exist the way they did? If...

Those really are some awesome pics. Until now, I'd only seen pics inside the mountain that looked like the rock wall, so it's nice to see the ice/snow theming carry over inside the structure. Do you really think it'll take 8 more months to open? We're heading out to WDW in Jan. '06, and we...

Yeah, the public service announcements, or "moral", at the end of each episode are great. It's the next best thing to "...and knowing is half the battle."

Yeah that's what I meant. I was reading a few articles recently, and it seems like they might patch things up. Here's hoping...
