I was wondering what the process is and who specifically suggests presenters and who makes the approvals. My interest is not entirely in passing. I have it on good authority that the SpaceX company would seriously consider providing a display for Innoventions if asked, but that they won't make...

In light of the recent events at Six Flags Texas and Cedar Point, I thought it might be a good time to discuss ride safety at WDW. I recently found a website that lists injury statistics by park and ride. http://www.amusementsafety.org/park_safety13.asp I found it interesting and informative...

I didn't see a thread on this in a quick search, so I hope this hasn't been covered. I looked, but I fully admit to being blind as a bat sometimes. ;) CNN posted an article yesterday about why some people love Disney and some hate it...

I thought this might be a fun discussion: I had watched something on travel channel about high rollers at the casinos in Vegas. The term for these guys is "whales". They are called that due to the huge amounts of money they drop on every visit. When they show up, the casinos comp them rooms...

I thought something was wrong with my computer until I saw this: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/earth/HcTE-usdXGY Has the mouse yanked the 3D for some reason? Is anyone seeing the buildings still?

I was just wondering how others utilize this popular option. My DW and I, for instance, like to start at least one day at DHS and have lunch there. Then at some point in the early afternoon we ride the boat past all the Epcot area resorts and spend our afternoon/evening at EPCOT. We have also...

The day before yesterday the official Disney blog posted this http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/news/2012-planning/ but I didn't see a thread under news about it. Aside from the name of the new annual marketing campaign, the biggest news item here seems to be "a special surprise announcement...

I am a big fan of soft serve Ice Cream. I know I have seen folks with soft serve cones in the parks before, but can't recall where. Would someone be so kind as to list all the places in WDW I can get soft serve Ice cream? And please SPECIFICALLY SOFT SERVE not regular scooped. THANKS!! :wave:

I"ve been going to WDW for years, and on these boards for a long while. I don't know anyone in management and have only met a couple of former employees. Basically I am pretty unaware of the business side of operations, and what their priorities are. I love the parks, but over the years I...

I'ms sorry if this is already somewhere, but I couldn't find it. I am considering purchasing an PAP next year. I am trying to do my math on the potential savings. I have read about room rates discounts of up to 40% on specified dates for AP holders. What I want to see is either a calendar of...

Does anyone know who are the top 10 shareholders of the Walt Disney Company and the size of their holdings? I know Steve Jobs became number one when Pixar was bought, but I was wondering if he is still number one, and about the holdings of others such as Mr. Pepper (the COB), Mr. Iger, (does...

I have been seeing the ongoing discussion between various factions here regarding PI and its redevelopment into HW. It is obvious that TDO has set its collective mindset on the HW project, but I was wondering how much support it truly has among WDW Magic readers. I realize this is a source of...

I always get turned around by the stretching room, I know you enter on one side and exit the other, but I've always wanted to know for sure which wall opens so I could stand near it and beat the crowd to my Doom Buggy. Somebody told me the exit is always under the picture of the lady with the...

While minimal, it looks to be quite edible. My twisted mind thought couldn't help wondering something. I saw: Empanadas de Queso 10.50 - Fried corn masa (dough) filled with Chihuahua cheese topped with green sauce, served with corn chips. Ummm...ok...I cant help it.....how many...

I am always amazed at the work they put into making WDW so beautiful. I got to wondering theough, how it is organized. Do the parks, golf courses and resorts all have separte organizations for this? I imagine they are all under one umbrella department, but what is it called and who heads it...

I logged into the WDW website just now and after going to "My Disney Vacation" and "Backstage Pass" I found the following paragraph under the heading "Magical offers January 2008". Any one know what this is all about? Receive a special rate at Walt Disney World® Resorts where you can...

MY DW and I drive down from Atlanta every year for our week at WDW. We dont believe in wasting time stopping anywhere and instead try to put together a cooler with a variety of tasty treats so that food will not be a reason for stopping. Also, we always bring enought so that we have extra...

Hi folks! Here is the deal: Im going to Epcot all day on Sept 18th and leaving after Illuminations. The DW and I are going with my mom (67) and my neice (10) and nephew (12). We are gonna have some tired and cranky folks by then, So getting back to the Poly (i.e. off the feets) is...

Howdy folks! I know HM is slated to re-open Sept 12. I will be visiting MK Sept 17th. I am wondering whether I will have a long wait to get in HM. After an E-Ticket opens after a major refurb does it always have horrendous lines for weeks after? On that day I have to check into the resort...

Heya All! I understand they are putting in computers in the rooms at the Contemporary, where I will be staying in September :D . Is there a charge for internet access? Also, can you hook a camera to those computers via a USB cable and download the pictures from your camera to it? I'd like...
