DAY #7 – Thursday March 3rd 2011 “Disney’s Hollywood Studios” We were surprised how long it took us to finally get to this park. We have already repeated Magic Kingdom, taken a day off, and gone to Universal before seeing Disney’s Hollywood Studios….crazy. But we are glad to be here...

DAY #6 – Wednesday March 2nd 2011 “Morning Off / Universal’s Islands of Adventure (Harry Potter)” Took the morning easy. Slept in, the girls went down to the pool, did some laundry, and Dan and I went to Dunkin’ Donuts for some breakfast sandwiches! Headed out for Universal’s Islands of...

DAY #5 – Tuesday March 1st 2011 “Animal Kingdom / Magic Kingdom” Woke up to a little rain today. It’s supposed to just rain this morning and then be mid-high 70s. Arrived at Animal Kingdom at 9:15am and parked in Unicorn. We had to……wait for it…….TRAM IT! Even though it was raining, we...

DAY #4 – Monday February 28th 2011 “Epcot” Another gorgeous day with 80 degree temperatures, sunny, and a light breeze! Headed out at 8:30am and arrived at Epcot by 9am. Parked in “Amaze”. Still no tram ride by this point….which kinda bummed us out…..we LOVE trammin’ it! 1.) Spaceship...

DAY #3 – Sunday February 27th 2011 “Day Off” Change of plans. We aren’t as young as we used to be. Travel day and a long hot day at Magic Kingdom has kicked the crap out of us. So we are going to take a day off. Slept in and lounged around the room until noon. Took a nice walk around the...

Yes, I'm most defanitely sure my times are correct. Magic Kingdom was the only park open until midnight and it wasn't open that late every night, only the nights I mention in this thread. You can't go by times posted in brochures or even online. You've got to check the times when you get to...

DAY #2 – Saturday February 26th 2011 “Magic Kingdom” Woke up at 6am to sunny skies. Forecast is for mid 80’s today….no need for long pants or sleeves! Drove through the Walt Disney World entrance, watched the highway signs turn from green to purple……yup, we’re back! Got off the monorail...

I was reading one of my Imagineering Field Guide books and I was reading about the Haunted Mansion. It was talking about the famous debate we all know about between Claude Coats and Marc Davis over whether to make the Haunted Mansion creepy and dark or whimsical and funny. It said that in the...

DAY #1 - Friday February 25th 2011 "Travel to Florida" We couldn’t believe it was time to go back to Walt Disney World! The day had finally arrived! Disney World, here we come! Let me introduce you to our group. There's me (Jeff), my wife Carisa, my twin brother Dan, and his wife Faith...

Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, TTA, Carousel of Progress, and Forbidden Journey at Universal.

Hello to all my fellow Walt Disney World fans! We are so excited to report that we were fortunate enough to just enjoy our 8th trip to Walt Disney World! And as always it was a beyond perfect, magical vacation! We really wanted to share it with all our friends here on WDWMagic.com! We...

Thanks for casting your votes! Anyone else want to chime in? I know there are more of you out there with opinions.

In your personal oppinion, if you had to lean one way or the other, do you think the new Haunted Mansion queue helps or hurts the attraction?

I love how people here on this site are just like me. Me and my brother love those shields too! Our memories of those classic shields go back to when we went in 1986. Fantasyland queues as we knew them are going away. Back when Small World, Peter Pan, Mr. Toad, Snow White, all had classic...

I don't agree. Whenever we see the attraction we always say that it should be manditory that all WDW guests see this attraction so that they can appreciate what one man was able to dream, visualize, and build. It is a very good tribute to Walt Disney. Because at the end of the day, none of...

We just got back from Walt Disney World (February 25 - March 6) and our biggest best suprise of the trip was "The Magic, The Memories, and You" show on the Castle! It is really amazing and unlike anything you've ever seen. Our question is why aren't people talking more about it? It's not...

We just got back from our trip to Walt Disney World (February 25 - March 6) . . . . YEAH! We really wish we were still there! Anyway, our favorite ride of all time is the Haunted Mansion and we were very curious to investigate the new queue. When we were in line the construction wall was...

Here are some other traces of BK at Animal Kingdom. Let's start with the entrance, there is a Dragon's head on the left hand side of the entrance! There is a Dinosaur head on the right. They obviously intended on fulfilling both those creatures in the park. There are also unicorns...

Just thought I'd chime in on the status of Expedition Everest effects since I was just there on March 1st. We rode it 3 times that day and the effects were the same all 3 times. Only 1 waterfall working, the one you can see from the entrance. No steam at loading area No mist up around...

Thanks for the info. I actually know about WDWMagic's list and Disney's list on their site. I guess I'm more wondering about work around the parks like construction walls, scrims, scaffolding......eye sores of that type.
