    Tower of terror

    That sound is from The Shining. It's playing right after Wendy locks Jack in the pantry. Jack tells her to go check out the snow cat and its playing as she runs outside to the garage. Sorry, this is one of my all time favorite movies so I pretty much know it frame for frame. It truly is one...

    Tower of terror

    I know what you're talking about. It is a very strange sound to describe. I heard it as well. Kind of like a constant "clicking" or "clanking." Kind of reminds me of something you would hear in an Alfred Hitchcock film. It's in my head now. Just can't describe it.:shrug:

    Advice for UK Visitors (Don't wear tops at Disney)

    Years ago I wore a t-shirt that had a cartoon oyster on the front. It read, "Shuck me, suck me, eat me raw!" They made me turn it inside out. So I can understand why they would flip out at .

    America's worst?

    Hello. We have never stayed there. I suggest you look at tripadvisor.com. My wife and I swear by this site. Apparently this hotel used to be called Hawaiian Maingate Inn. Some of the reviews are pretty positive. Others will make you want to run away and scream. Either way, I am sure you'll...

    Comfortable Beds?

    As is the case with about 95% of the hotels in this country. As a former manager with Starwood Properties (Sheraton, Westin, W) I can guarantee you that the top covers on the beds are washed about 4 times a year. My advice to everyone: 1st thing to do when you check into a hotel (whether on...

    Ice Station Cool?

    A couple of years ago I witnessed a family filling one of those sip bottles. A cm politely, but sternly told them to stop. It is intended for sampling only.:(

    Crowds in October

    We always go at the end of October. We'll be there ourselves the 21st thru 28th. The crowds are decent. The longest I have ever waited for something this time of year was Soarin' last year and that was a 30 minute wait. Good choice for extra magic hours at MK on the 22nd. There will be...

    Meridian Maingate

    Has anyone ever stayed at or heard anything about the Meridian Maingate located on US 192 in Kissimmee? I think it was The Sleep Inn at one time. Just curious if it is a decent place.:shrug:

    What Disney characters do you want to see more of?

    We've seen Mary Poppins in UK at Epcot every year we've gone there since 1997. It will be nice to see her in MK with Bert. My DW's favorite Disney movie. "Spit Spot."

    Cryo Walt

    Never understood this one. Just freeze your head and dispose of the rest of you?:shrug: I guess if in 10,000 years they have the technology to revive your brain from 500 degrees below zero, they'll be able to sew your head on a new body. I wonder if that procedure is included in the yearly...

    Celebrity Spotting..

    I don't know how famous this guy is. I had no clue, but my wife knew who he was. His name is Andrew Dan-Jumbo and he was on that show "While You Were Out." We saw him at Epcot in October 2004. He was with an older lady in the Japan Pavillion. A few people were hounding him for an autograph...

    Went to IOA and Universal today

    I guess we've just been lucky with low attendance. The 5 times we've been to IOA the wait was shorter than the time it took to walk all the way up. And on several occassions, my wife got off one coaster and immediately boarded the other. Now watch, when we're there in October the wait will be...

    WDW Tap Water

    I don't know how true this is but I was told by a local a few years back that Florida's fresh water supply is basically from the swamps. As you know, swamp water is full of bacteria and other assorted microscopic critters. Thus, the high level of chemicals used to treat the water to make it...

    Travel Channel Disney Marathon- Sunday, September 23rd

    I love those Great Hotel shows. Since we never stayed at any of the ones featured, it'll be just like being there. We'll be watching. Thanks. :D

    Which do you prefer- Drive or fly

    I love driving from IL. About 1200 miles give or take. I have done it many times. However, my health is not the best right now so flying is the best choice for us. Would love to do it again soon.

    Haunted Mansion - Just got back...

    I noticed that as well. I haven't been there yet to ride, but from watching the posted videos on this sight I caught it right away. Do you think it was archived audio or someone elses voice, since the man who voiced the original ghost host has passed away.

    Swan? Dolphin?

    I worked for Starwood for 5 years and stayed at The Swan in 2000 and 2001. In a nutshell: the hotel is beautiful. Certain rooms have a beautiful view of Illuminations. The proximity to Epcot is perfect. Easily reached by water launch or foot. The bus stop is right in front, no long walks...

    Question about Physically disabled child?

    That sounds so sad. I was wondering. My sister took my mother to WDW in 2004, three months before she passed away. She was completely confined to a wheel chair. Unable to leave it. However, she was able to go on many attractions without leaving her wheel chair. I know you said that this...
