    (Silly question) Will GMR be open tomorrow, 8/12, for sure?

    It should be. I have a general question about closures for anyone to answer. When Disney says an attraction will close, say on August 13th, does that mean the 12th is the last day of operation or will it close after operating on the 13th?

    My Unpopular WDW Opinion - post yours!

    I think the children, more often than not, ruin Turtle Talk with Crush.

    My Unpopular WDW Opinion - post yours!

    I actually really enjoyed The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management more than the original. If characters disappeared from the parks it wouldn't matter to me at all. I don't care about the new Star Wars land. Sure, I'll go see it the first time I'm there when it's open but I'm not...

    Stupid moments you got really excited for

    Driving onto property and seeing the first Disney Transport bus and DVC tower.

    Lance Armstrong At The End Of American Adventure

    I'm surprised there isn't a short clip in the montage showing Team USA celebrating after beating the Soviets in 1980. I think it'd make a great fit.

    Flash Photos on Dark Rides

    Even if people adhered to no flash it wouldn't totally solve the issue. People will still whip out their smart phones, turn off the flash, and try to get the best pic they could all the while people behind them will still see the bright and annoying screen.

    Anniversary Dinner - BOG, Citricos, Narcoossee's, or Cali Grill?

    My wife and I had dinner at Citricos on our honeymoon last week. They let us keep the menus which had a 'Happily Ever After' message on them. We were treated to free champagne and also had the gelato sampler for dessert where they gave us an extra couple of samples with hearts made out of...

    Disney Security?

    I was not aware of the events in Manchester when I was at MK on Monday and DHS/Epcot on Tuesday. Security was streamlined. Sometimes everyone has to go through the metal detector but sometimes it's random. I was a bit concerned though when I went through the metal detector forgetting I had...

    Birthday Dinner

    Try searching the cake thread in this forum. It's called "WDW Takes the Cake - Official Cake Talk" or something very close to that. They have ALL the details you need to know about ordering cakes.

    Strangest Issue on an Attraction

    On Splash Mountain once, the scene with Brer Bear tied up in the tree, the hand of Brer Fox that was holding the rope was on the ground...

    Retired Attraction Effects

    It wasn't a sound effect like the knockers. There was one door where you could see skeletal hands trying to pry the door open from the other side. One hand on top and another on the side.

    Retired Attraction Effects

    I always wondered why they got rid of the hands on the doors. The effect kind of lacks without it because it's in the same position and you can see where the hands were.

    Roy O. Disney Steam Locomotive Broken Down (repaired) and Liberty Belle News

    This definitely confirms I've lost it and have gone senile...I'm not worthy of my avatar :oops:

    Roy O. Disney Steam Locomotive Broken Down (repaired) and Liberty Belle News

    As others have said it controls the steam flow for locomotion. Some just call it the throttle. However, the Johnson Bar is the actual lever that controls the throttle.

    OLD KEY WEST- QUICK SERVICE?

    Unfortunately, no. Even though we always stay there we only get QS food if we are spending time at the pool or taking it to go back to the room. Because of pool crowds at certain times of day, it can be very busy and slow.

    What's up with Roy (MK steam locomotive)?

    I feel like it's just a rotation thing. Surely Lily will get the most work after being absent for so long. Does anyone know if the WDWRR has to comply with any FRA regulations? As for the poll, I voted Roy. Hands down the greatest sounding locomotive of the fleet.

    Contacting a specific engineer at Disney?

    It's extremely difficult to get that hands-on experience in college unless you're doing a co-op or already working part-time. I had no hands-on whatsoever. In my labs, we were not allowed to touch ANYTHING. Everything was performed by the TA grad student which was pointless to me. Do your...

    Contacting a specific engineer at Disney?

    While I cannot help you with your specific question, I do have some insight that may possibly help you get your foot in the door. Disney offers professional engineering internships. I recommend looking into that. I know of someone who started as a professional intern in mechanical engineering...
