Wondering if any CM's can give insight on this. I am 100% convinced that the "Wait Time From This Point" signs are almost always exaggerated. For example, Mission:Space will say "45 Min" regardless of whether the line is outside the door or only filling half of the inside queue. My recent...

AndyMagic writes-- "And yes, it is already far off the ground. The only thing left is construction." Yes, construction. And chosing whether its going to be electric or diesel-powered engine. And creating workable blueprints based on what type of power they use. And getting the...

Can someone please describe what goes on at those free wine seminars at Epcot's Food and Wine Festival? (I'm talking about the 45-minute programs held at the Odyssey and the Terrace) How many samples do you get? Are they worthwhile? Etc. Also-- how does that new Australia "Wine Walkabout"...

On a recent visit to The Living Seas, I noticed a few changes. 1. There appears to be a new dolphin in the tank. (Back in May 2002, one of TLS dolphins died. Now there are two again. Anyone know when the new dolphin was added? I never noticed it until recently.) 2. The long-shuttered...

When you say "Pavillion" I take it to mean the entire building/pre-show/attraction/post-show/experience... not just the "attraction" inside. Unfortunately, the concept of an Epcot "pavillion" has erroded a bit over the years. I WOULD have voted for "The Living Seas", since, as a whole, it...

AndyMagic-- You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. "There is nothing Jed Bush can do about it." Actually, he already has. This summer, in a very visible attack on the high speed rail amendment, he cut nearly all of the train money from the state's budget. (He later...

What I remember most about the old EPCOT CENTER was the opening-year publicity and nationwide anticipation. In late 1982, it seemed EVERYONE was talking about EPCOT. There were books, newspaper articles, and magazine features. Besides the opening day TV special, there was a weekly show on...

Why is Jeb Bush against this? The high-speed rail is going to cost 3 BILLION dollars. 3 Billion dollars Florida does not have. 3 Billion dollars that should be diverted to overcrowded classrooms and other problems in the state. Just like every other rail program that's been proposed in...

As you may recall, about 3 years ago Disney installed CD-burning kiosks all over the parks called "Walt Disney World Forever". (You would select 10 tracks of attraction songs and sound effects---stuff that can't be found anywhere else---and the machines would burn you a custom CD) About a...

X2 is right about Mission:Space's music. In fact, I think "Destiny" has the same stick-in-your-head magic as Epcot songs of the past. (Part of Epcot's musical success in the early days falls directly on the shoulders of the late Buddy Baker. He often talked about creating the "Disney...

(I decided to re-post my comments from another thread using a different subject title, hoping to spur new debate. Sorry for the repeat!) For crying out loud... Mission:Space DID NOT REPLACE Horizons!!! Horizons had begun its death an entire DECADE before M:S opened its doors-- and...

For crying out loud... Mission:Space DID NOT REPLACE Horizons!!! Horizons had begun its death an entire DECADE before M:S opened its doors-- and five years before anyone even dreamed up M:S. According to Disney publications and Disney's lawsuit against the M:S contractor, the idea for a...

According to people who have seen Big Thunder Mountain trains taking test runs around the track again, it appears the smokestacks have returned to the front of the engines (for over a year the smokestacks have been missing. Rumor is they had deteriorated and had become a possible safety hazard.)...

I choose Canada only because the architecture is more pleasant to view while touring the lagoon counter-clockwise. For example, as you cross the bridge into France you can see the "city" sprawled out in front of you (and the Eiffel tower in the background-- if they ever replace it!) Also...

Pointless but fun poll: Where is your favorite place to begin touring World Showcase: Mexico, Canada, or Friendship boats?

I'm going to be taking a SERIOUS steak fanatic to Le Cellier. We're talking someone who even finds Ruths Chris a bit lacking. (Charley's is his favorite) How will the Canada steakhouse stack up?

I was hoping someone would put a video of the M:S Grand Opening online! It's certainly not the same as being there in person, but it shows what an incredible event that was. Again, great job Steve!

I noticed there had not been any updates in more than a week. I figured Steve was up to something like this! Great job!

So Disneyfan 2000-- you think that Mission:Space, Expedition Everest, the Stunt Show Spectacular, and Soarin' Over California have absolutely no appeal to teens/young adults????? (Cue the other Disney naysayers who say that all the park ever builds is thrill rides) Jay Rasulo was quoted in...

Yep-- I forgot the poll. Look above for "AE/Stitch poll (THIS ONE!)" My deepest apologies!
