    Concepts For New Fully-Themed Experiences

    I'd love to see the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland locally, perhaps next to the Indy stunt show, to make a mini-land.

    What are your favorite sounds at Disney?

    Fave attraction audio: The American Adventure. I wish they had the whole show's soundtrack out on CD. Not just "Golden Dream", although that is stirring in itself. I managed to get a few tracks around the turn of the millennium when they had a create your own CD feature near where Mouse Gear...

    Test Track or Soarin'?

    If they still had the original version of TestTrack, I'd vote for that, but they changed it, so my vote goes to Soarin'.

    Whispering Canyon Change

    I didn't get a chance to experience Whispering Canyon! Oh, well. I did try to go at Christmas time a couple of years ago, but got lost and ended up eating supper at a Bob Evans restaurant in Kissimmee. The purple signs failed me!

    Anyone done CRT solo?

    I also have done plenty of character meals solo, as I prefer going to the parks alone. One time, at Garden Grill, my camera broke down, and they didn't have one of the Photopass photographers there, either, with their extra camera. (I think this was before magic bands and annual passholders...

    I'm 50 years old and about to go to the Magic Kingdom for the first time

    Any restaurant there should be able to work with you to get some vegetarian grub, especially the table service ones you reserve online. If you read all the notes and regulations the official Disney dining site sends you when you reserve, you'll see more info on this. As for your age, just...

    So....Any guesses?

    How about a Disney resort (with perhaps multiple theme parks) in Australia? They could call it Disney Down Under. They should have a Disney on each continent except Antartica. Also, I think having a park on a privately owned Caribbean island would make a better port of call than just a beach...

    So....Any guesses?

    I'd love to see Shanghai's and Hong Kong's Disney, but besides not being able to afford it, I'm afraid of being imprisoned for my Christian beliefs if I go there. And if I did go there and tried to hide the fact that I am a Christian, I'm afraid of the guilt trips I'd put myself through.

    Rivers of light seating

    I came without a FastPass, and only about a half an hour to spare, and the cast members directed me to a spot on the side, but near the front.

    Fear of Roller Coaster

    I spent most of my life afraid of roller coasters, though I could handle "kiddie" ones like Barnstormer, and Primeval Whirl. Then my parents started talking about moving from Orlando to Costa Rica. I didn't want to leave Disney World and was very upset. Finally, Dad said he would stop...

    Any point in staying at the All Star Sports Resort?

    If you do book the Residence Inn across from Universal, do NOT try to walk to Universal from there. It's a heck of a walk, a lot longer than you would think it would be.

    There is a test seat outside of Flight of Passsage.

    Who Has Been Picked to Ride During a Soft Opening?

    I don't remember being polled. I was just glad to have experienced the ride, since I don't know when I'll be able to get back out to California again.

    Who Has Been Picked to Ride During a Soft Opening?

    On a vacation at Disneyland resort, I got to ride the Monsters Inc. ride before it officially opened.

    Your very own stupid funny moment at Disney

    I've had a couple of moments out at Animal Kingdom which I find extremely embarrassing, but maybe someone here may find them amusing. I was sitting at a Christmas song show--it was out at Camp MinnieMickey, if I remember correctly, and one of the singers was saying how much he enjoyed caroling...

    Any info on slinky dog.

    A lot of Disney news sites, including Disney Parks Blog and this very site here, posted a short video showing the ride, some of it from a distance and some of it from rider's point of view. I hope the ride is longer than the video--that was less than half a minute.

    How's the German Restaurant at Epcot? Food and entertainment?

    This is my Dad's favorite restaurant at Epcot, maybe at all of Disney. We've gone there several times. The food is buffet style. My memory's fuzzy on whether we went for lunch or supper. Dad likes to get a big, glass mug of beer. You sit at a long table with other guests--hopefully they're...

    Unpopular WDW Opinions

    I liked the other unpopular opinion thread from a few months ago. That was mostly people expressing their opinions without much flak back because just about everyone seemed to understand this was their chance to vent an unpopular opinion. It was a fun thread. Personally, I have never had an...

    Watch out for the birds at WDW!

    Because if someone started a new thread on birds at WDW, some other poster would no doubt say, "There is already a thread on this subject" and include a link. ;)

    Watch out for the birds at WDW!

    I used to feed the birds sometimes, until one day I was feeding some grackles popcorn at Animal Kingdom. I thought it was okay because grackles, like gulls, will eat about anything, and they're wild birds, not Disney-owned that are on special diets. But a cast member accosted me and politely...
