Maybe I’m biased but I felt this deserves its own thread. :D

Got this e-mail today... Over a month seems like quite a long time for track maintenance. Anyone know what's going on?

Bad news, superhero fans: Last weekend was your final chance to see the Avengers monorail. Monorail Red is now in shop to have the wrap removed and will be back in service in its classic look soon.

Hey all, I've decided to run the Walt Disney World Marathon in January 2013. I'm a generally fit person but did not start running until the beginning of this year. My goal looks achievable on paper if I train consistently for the full year leading up to the event. I started the Couch to 5k...

Registration is now open for the Florida Project trade event on September 9 - 10, 2011. http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/event?id=53049 Admission is $100.00 per Guest until May 06 and includes both days. Extra-cost breakfast and dessert receptions ($40 each) will be held...

The old tram shelter at International Gateway, which did not get new green canopies when the rest of the structures were upgraded, appears to now be in preparation for demolition. The old red canopy has been removed except for a few tattered strips here and there and the top part of the roof...

Perhaps someone has experience in this area. Due to a last minute change in class schedules, my traveling companion will not arrive until the day after check-in and will leave several days before check-out. 1. Will she be allowed to utilize DME on the day after check-in? 2. Will it be...

There are construction walls up in Mousegear around the main register bank near the old outer hallway. Anyone know what's going on here? New registers with better crowd control perhaps? There is also a new(ish) wall outside of the store in front of the old Communicore entrance. No idea if...

Hello! :wave: I'm still a DVC newbie so I apologize in advance for making a thread about what is most likely a very basic question. We would like to book at one of the EPCOT resorts (Beach Club or Boardwalk) sometime during the 2011 Flower and Garden show. We will most likely end up on a...

I am off to WDW next month and I've been anxiously wondering about taking my photography gear on the attractions. On past trips I spent part of the day just doing photography and left my gear in the hotel room while "riding the rides". Unfortunately we are staying at an All Star Resort this...

Got to see this little gem of a DTV today... I won't give away much but there some good news and some bad news. The good news is it is a cute and suprisingly well scripted piece of work. The bad news is it is barely over one hour in length (unless I looked at the clock wrong :lol: ) so some...

This is just a reminder that most Disney Store locations are currently accepting part-time sales associate applications for the back to school/Halloween/Christmas sales season. Rumors abound about the demise of the chain but so far there has been no order to suspend hiring so we expect it will...

I got a little creative with my birthday cake this year. Check it out! :D http://www.mapored.com/cake.html

I am working on a special project and I need as much monorail audio as I can find, especially recordings of the spiels. The only one I have now is the Epcot spiel from the WDW 25th anniversary. Please help me find some others! Thanks!

I'm feeling the urge to get out of this area and I wouldn't mind moving back to central Florida if I can find a job there. So, what is the hiring situation like at WDW in these rough times? Does a former College Program participant, former Casual Temporary, and current TDS cast member have a...

There is a really neat article by Bob Gurr over at Laughing Place. If you are interested in monorails, industrial design, project management, or just like insider stories from the glory days of Disney you should check it out!

The Disney Store will soon be rolling out new Park Hopper Plus tickets (5, 6, or 7 day) that act kind of like gift cards. The cast member will scan the appropriate UPC, collect the funds, and then "activate" the ticket media. This will be a huge improvement over the old system of selling plain...

Pretty soon I'll be interviewing for the position of part time lead at my Disney store. Since I know there are a few leads and managers reading this board, do any of you have advice for a good interview? I love the Disney store and I'd really like to be a lead because I fell there are some...

Today instead of doing any actual work-type things I spent a large part of my shift demoing the Buzz Lightyear Transmobot (WOW!) by driving it around the store and into the mall and stuff. Kids love the thing because it can spin in place, transform, shoot missles, and is an all-around cool toy...

Thank you for editing my post, chowderpants.
