The ride currently runs 2 minutes and 55 seconds. Throw in 60 seconds loading and we have 3 minutes and 55 seconds. So that would be three cars in the ride while one car loads. I do recall from when I rode it that there was always some waiting for a car to get to the station. Adding a 5th...

In promoting biodiesel - as the EU, the British and US governments and thousands of environmental campaigners do - you might imagine that you are creating a market for old chip fat, or rapeseed oil, or oil from algae grown in desert ponds. In reality you are creating a market for the most...

I'd say it makes it even more likely DVC goes to the Contemporary. Eagle Pines has been rumored as a DVC spot and the good news is it won't be now.

It seems that Disney has tried to put characters into the countries that they belong like Mulan in China, Snow White in Germany, which helps with the combining of the old Epcot and the new Epcot. My daughter enjoyed talking to Mulan while waiting for the movie in China to start . To me this...

I like that name, Walt Disney Studios. You could then have a specific land for Pixar called Pixar Studios with Toy Story Mania, move Laugh Floor there, plus add another Pixar addition for this section. I think they want to push the Pixar name as much as possible, thus why they will choose...

So we agree an upgrade was required. You don't like the choices, I disagree. By taking adult subjects like Mexico and the Seas and adding in features that kids enjoy as well you end up with something that the whole family enjoys. Its no different then my daughters Vsmile videogame. It...

If it was real and inspiring it wouldn't of needed to be changed. I saw it once then never went back into the pavillion. It was a small slice of Sea World. Now it has a show(Turtle Talk) and a ride(Nemo) and it still has everything that it did before. I'll be back visiting the Seas once...

Exactly. I've read they will tweak the plot to make it seem that you are entering the real pixar studio. Once inside you see that the toys are running the place with each toy having its own game. Obviously not as perfect as Midway Mania at DCA, but still a decent fit, plus WDW gets it first.

The theming of the outside of Toy Story Mania is supposed to look like the outside of Pixar's studio, I believe. Combined with the change in the park name and any other additional Pixar additions(maybe Block Party comes to WDW in 2008) should help kick off the name change. Who knows, maybe...

On the major prizes Disney states that they are paying the taxes on the winnings thus making the prize completely free. Not sure about the suite. Obviously someone gets hold of Merf's login and password and starts posting because the merf we know gives us great info and photos, not this.:)

WDW is geared towards the family. Many posters on these boards don't post from the family perspective, but from their own perspective, which is understandable. But they do need to understand that just because 60% of posters on a forum don't like something doesn't mean its not popular with the...

BWV is my vote due to the access to the boardwalk and Epcot and all the restuarants located there. Plus you have some nightlife there as well which is great for the adults if you don't want to go to Pleasure Island. If you plan on going to Pleasure Island every night, then choose SSR.

Do you want to stay onsite or offsite? Thats a big question you have to ask yourself. I've done both and felt onsite made for a more enjoyable vacation and eventually joined DVC since my wife likes 1 bedrooms more than hotel rooms.

If you stay at BWV or BCV you can walk or take a boat to Epcot and Disney Studios. VWL has boat access to the Magic Kingdom.

For comparisons I'm an AP holder for the DLR and go about twice a month. I like to take mini-vacations there where I stay a couple nights and will be doing so at the Grand Californian in June using my DVC points at 24 per night. I'd love it if they put DVC there and a studio only cost me 13...

I imagine its dispatching that will need to learn the computer system, not the drivers.

Nothing wrong with making day to day reservations. They keep your ressie open, you call the next day and reserve your next day. Do this until you have your vacation completed. Takes 2 minutes in the morning. Considering less than 1% of the owners have the points that you do I don't see...

I own DVC. If you don't go to WDW at least every other year then don't consider it. If you usually stay offsite then don't consider DVC. If Pop or All Star are great for you, then don't consider DVC. If you like staying onsite at WDW in a moderate or above, then definetly consider DVC...

Its pretty much only woods view. If you ask for "near elevators, top floor" and actually get your request you might be able to see part of the pool and lake.

Its difficult trading into DVC. If you are willing to accept any DVC at WDW such as SSR or OKW then you will have a greater chance of getting in. Put your request in now as it could several months. September is a slow month thus you have a chance. Tickets are purchased on their own through...
