;) Stars & Motor Cars is, in my opinion, the most uninspired parade I've seen at Disney World in all my years of going, and I'm staggered it's limped on for so long. Delighted to see it replaced by something else. I hope there are lots more new things for DHS in the coming years, what's...

That's all various film themes. One of my friends has a full list and I'll ask him for it. From memory, it includes: Air Force One (Jerry Goldsmith) Medicine Man (Jerry Goldsmith) Rich and Famous (Georges Delerue) Out of Africa (John Barry) Space Camp (John Williams) Far and Away (John...

Sight - driving under the "Walt Disney World" gateway on the way onto the property. Gives me a buzz every time. Sound - "There's a great big beautiful tomorrow" - always has me singing it for the rest of the day Taste - Le Cellier's cheddar soup Smell - the dark ages section of Spaceship...

MGM, no doubt. Even though it's (by far) my least favourite park, there's still a lot about it that I like - but it's only a "three meal" park if you do stuff like the hideous Narnia attraction and the once-is-all-you-need Lights, Motors, Action show. I'd probably try to park hop if I were in...

I was there on one of the first days they were in use and nobody was using them, despite reasonably large lines at the staffed positions. I couldn't use them, sadly, because my girlfriend wanted a burger without cheese, and you can't do "personalised" orders at them. I bet over time they will...

Even at really busy times, the lines in the fast food places would go so much quicker if people actually spent the 10 minutes they are standing in line deciding what they want, instead of getting to the front before giving it a thought, and asking their kids to run and ask mom whether she wants...

The 5 minutes in the video was also preceded by the usual ROE show - I videod the whole thing and it's nearly 20 minutes. Hands down the best fireworks I've ever seen. I felt proud to be American after it, even though I'm British.

Two weeks ago I did Epcot EMH in the morning, stayed till after IllumiNations and then went to MK EMH in the evening. 8am-2am in the parks. It took me a while to get over! I don't think I'll do it again.

That depends when you go, doesn't it? At peak times you probably get less done if you go to the parks featuring EMH than if you spend the whole day at a park with no EMH, which would be far less crowded. Even at off peak times, when it's easy to do every ride/attraction during the opening...

I love the China and France ones, both are extremely beautiful. I'm looking forward to the new Canada one (the current one is too dated) - but think the Norway one is awful. How such a beautiful country could inspire such a turgid film is beyond me.

Oh, believe me, I do enjoy myself! This is just a minor irritant on otherwise almost completely magical days. It's just that it's a growing problem which may become more than a minor irritant unless a solution can be found, which is why I think it touches a nerve. Your suggestion that people...

At DAK a couple of weeks ago:

Of course there are many people who need to use wheelchairs and I feel terribly sorry for them, and getting on theme park rides a bit quicker is no compensation for their disability, but I agree with a couple of the earlier posts that this is a growing problem, particularly with the motorised...

I stupidly lost my camera at MK during my recent trip - in the Main Street Bakery, buying a coffee and a cookie, I put it down to get my money out at the cash register, forgot to pick it up - realised about 90 seconds later, but it had already gone by the time I went back inside. The person in...

Having been to MGM twice in the last couple of weeks, I went to the second show on both nights, turned up about 10 minutes before it started, and ended up sitting in the Mickey section (ie right in the middle). Theater maybe 1/4 full on both occasions. I've been in September before and there...

Epcot was crowded on the 4th, but not unbearably so. It probably helped that the weather wasn't that great. The extended IllumiNations was INCREDIBLE. I saw MK's 4th July fireworks on the 3rd and they were good - but boy, Epcot's were something else.

Much to my relief, the tickets have finally arrived, a day before traveling. I don't think I'll be using themepark-tickets.com again - but I can forget all about that now and look forward to visiting the World tomorrow!

153 pounds - so about $290 (each)

The saga continues. It's now only four days until we fly to Florida - I should be very excited, but still the WDW tickets haven't arrived. I phoned themepark-tickets.com again today and they have now changed their story and say the tickets won't be despatched until Thursday - using a courier...

Apparently Bruce Broughton (who has written music for many Disney attractions) recorded his music for the new film some time ago. He has also recorded a new score for Spaceship Earth.
