    New to Disneyworld

    If you're looking for some honest advice --- I think you've scheduled WAY WAY WAY too much... especially for a first-time visitor. Walt Disney World is WAY larger than any first time visitor could imagine. For example, it can easily take an HOUR to park your car in the Magic Kingdom lot, buy...

    The War Is Over.. Congrats Roy Disney

    It appears Roy has just saved HIMSELF from a suicide mission-- but he's still walking around with a black eye. Roy should have stopped when he achieved his goal-- ousting Eisner. Whether it was ego or vindictiveness, the moment he attacked Bob Iger, the game was over. While Iger was...

    Helicopters at WDW

    I've posted about this topic before. Just about every one of the above posters has it WRONG. The flight restriction applies to ALL aircraft (including helicopters) that fly at 3000 feet or BELOW. The 3-mile "flight restriction" is actually centered at the Magic Kingdom. That means a...

    The Living Seas/Nemo Overlay

    After spending several million on the recent "Nemo" upgrades, I find it hard to believe they'd shut down the entire pavillion. If they were to re-do the "front" section of the pavillion (queue, theaters, SeaCabs), I think they'd find a way to keep the "back" section open--- either by routing...

    Mission: Space tragedy

    To those who say "I'd never take a 4-year-old on Mission Space" ---- You're posting on a Disney message board. That means you are at least AWARE of what MS is, and have probabbly been on it (maybe numerous times). Therefore, YOU are not qualified to make that statement. Imagine you're...

    EE opening early? New rumor sighting!

    Keep in mind that Mission:Space officially opened in October. But people were riding it as early as June.

    Soarin' FastPass return times?

    Just wondering what the average FastPass "Return Time" has been for Soarin' (i.e. getting a FP at 1pm allowed a 5:30 pm return) Are the tickets "selling out" fast?

    WDW Media Announcement 5/5 @ 12:30

    What the heck are you talking about? You've got it all wrong. Here is the OFFICIAL press event schedule (from happiestcelebrationonearth.com/media ) --------------------------- “What’s New, What’s Next” News Briefing - Disney-MGM Studios (4:30pm) Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme...

    "Soarin" Moaners and Groaners

    The reviews are in--- and they are almost all overwelmingly positive. With few exceptions, people seem extremely happy with "The Land", and are absolutely blown away by "Soarin". So, now it's finally time to ask---- why did so many people get their underwear in a wad over this addition...

    Old Disney Souvineer videos.

    I'm trying to track down a copy of "Kraft Salutes Walt Disney World's 10th Anniversary". It was a TV special starring Dana Plato and a few other 80's TV stars.

    FastPass at "The Land"

    Just wondering if anyone's heard the future plans for FastPass at "The Land". I wouldn't be surprised if "Soarin'" steals the FastPass machines from "Living with the Land". I just can't believe they'd have FastPasses for both attractions. As you'll recall, when "Living with the Land"...

    ography at POFQ

    That Sun article was pretty terrible-- but as someone mentioned, it's the Canadian equivalant of "National Enquirer". Most of the mainstream media (CNN, Orlando Sentinel, TV stations, etc) seem to have done a respectable job covering this. One thing people are forgetting-- this story was...

    ography at POFQ

    Where did you see an article quoting the rates and the views? I can't find one report that lists those!

    ography at POFQ

    Isn't this website for an Orlando TV station? It makes sense they would mention Disney since its their hometown. If the photos showed the Ritz Carlton in New York, I'm sure those news stations would mention that.

    "Stitch" already falling apart!

    I decided to give Stitch's Great Escape another try this weekend, and was amazed to see the attraction is already broken! Most unbelievable--- one of the two laser cannons was frozen! It didn't move throughout the entire show! Also, it appears that the corresponding visual effects...

    WDW in Hi-Def

    I recently purchased an HDTV and was lucky enough to catch "Walt Disney World's Ultimate 10" on DiscoveryHD. For the most part, I gotta say that the show was STUNNING! I know this may be a stretch, but WDW in Hi-Def may actually looks BETTER than being there in-person! The colors and the...

    Seven Seas Lagoon-would Disney do it again?

    TheDisneyGirl02--- In all due respect, the Seven Seas Lagoon is NOT exactly "what Walt wanted". Need proof? http://www.waltopia.com/images/drawing.jpg http://www.waltopia.com/images/map.jpg The first image is Walt's hand-drawn map of "Project Florida". The other shows the area in...

    Seven Seas Lagoon-would Disney do it again?

    After taking a spin on a Sea Raycer recently, I came away with a deep appreciation for the Seven Seas Lagoon. First of all, being man-made, it's a stunning piece of engineering. More importantly, it's simply beautiful. Besides giving each resort a scenic beach, it provides another layer of...

    Electrical Water Pageant *LITE*

    While watching the Electrical Water Pageant the other night I noticed that several of the floats are missing. Once the turtle lit up, they played the music for the octopus but it did not light up. Then the patriotic finale began. They totally skipped the octopus, aligator, dinosaur, and...

    Guard Shack removed

    Maybe this is somewhat old news, but I noticed yesterday that they completely removed the guard shack that used to sit on Vista Blvd, just east of Ft. Wilderness. Although it added an extra layer of security to the Magic Kingdom resort areas (you had to pass through either it or the MK toll...
