    Tinkerbell Meet & Greet?

    With the upcoming return of Ariel's Grotto and Storytime With Belle, has there been any news or rumor about when Tinkerbell might return to the MK on Main Street next to Mickey?

    U.K. Pavilion at Epcot - Alice and Mary Poppins

    I know that both Alice and Mary Poppins are appearing for socially distant photo ops in the tea garden at the U.K. pavilion, and have randomly encountered each of them. Does anyone reliably know if they are appearing on any kind of a set schedule, or if it is completely random? I am asking...

    Snow White's Scary Adventures - Five Years Later

    Hey all! In honor of the fifth anniversary of the closing of Snow White's Scary Adventures, I have made my book free on Kindle for the next five days. That final night was truly amazing, and I hope you enjoy reading about it. https://www.amazon.com/3500-Autistic-Ten-Year-Romance-ebook/dp/B00BFTDHV4

    3500: An Autistic Boy's Ten-Year Romance with Snow White

    Regular visitors to WDWMagic.com may recall that when Snow White's Scary Adventures closed permanently last year, I wrote a series of blog posts about my autistic son and his experiences on that final night. I have written a book about his entire experience, and as of this morning it is...

    A couple say visiting Disney World helps unlock their autistic son's closed world

    Yesterday's Orlando Sentinel: A couple say visiting Disney World helps unlock their autistic son's closed world I thought you folks might enjoy reading this story, since it was people on this message board that made SW1K and SW2K possible.

    At WDW in the next week? Please support Autism Speaks

    Hi. I don't know if this is appropriate for this forum or not, but I assume the moderators will move it or do whatever else is appropriate if I am overstepping my bounds. Many of you will recognize me as having an autistic son who has ridden Snow White's Scary Adventures more that two...

    Snow White's Scary Adventures - Pressure Mats in Action

    So, I posted a few weeks ago that the most obvious result of the recent rehab of Snow White's Scary Adventures was the addition of pressure mats throughout the ride path. This afternoon I saw them in action. (It was bound to happen eventually, as much time as I spend on that ride...) We...

    SW2K - The Full Story

    Before I start the actual story, I need to specifically thank three people who made this all happen. Carl Bond is the Area Manager for Entertainment at Epcot, and it was his initial involvement that got the ball rolling. Without his help none of this would have ever happened. Scott Cook is...

    SW2K - The Plan

    (Short summary, for those who haven't seen the earlier threads: my autistic son will be riding Snow White's Scary Adventures for the 2,000th time on Saturday, March 8th. This thread is for those people who have expressed an interest in that event.) I just spoke to one of the lead Dream Team...

    SW2K - Calling for help from MK Cast Members

    Ok, so my autistic son of SW1K fame (search the board for threads from '05 about SW1K) is now rapidly approaching 2000 rides on Snow White's Scary Adventures. My best guess is that he will hit that on or about February 23rd. Back when he hit 1000 rides, a couple of people on this board helped...

    SW2K Approaches

    First of all, some background: folks who have been around the site for several years might remember SW1K, the day my son rode Snow White's Scary Adventures for the 1000th time. If you do a search on SW1K you can find the threads on the topic, and maybe even the video if it hasn't moved. In a...

    Ring removed from pavement at Haunted Mansion

    So, I was at the Magic Kingdom today and discovered that the Bride's ring embedded in the pavement as you exit the Haunted Mansion had been removed. Where it used to be, there is a fresh concrete patch. I proposed to my wife on that spot, and so I have kind of a sentimental attachment to that...

    "Thank you, Len Testa" or "Hey, that's my kid!"

    So, I finally picked up a copy of the 2007 edition of the Unofficial Guide today. I have to say, I was one seriously proud papa when I turned to page 481 and found the following paragraph: In 2005 we had the good fortune to experience Snow White with Ben, an autistic tyke who, with his...

    Thank you Len Testa and the folks from the Unofficial Guide

    This morning Benjamin had a very special treat. He was joined on his rides at Snow White's Scary Adventures by Len Testa and several other folks from The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World. (For those of you keeping track, as of today Ben is up to 1139 rides on SWSA.) Len was very nice...

    Snow White's Scary Adventures update

    Ben pretty much took the summer off from going to the park, for which I can't really blame him, but tonight he asked to go take a tram and see Snow White, so off we went. (Anyone who is lost, just do a forum search for "SW1K" to understand Ben.) The big news: Dopey and Sneezy are finally...

    SW1K Redux

    As previously discussed here, here and here, my son rides Snow White's Scary Adventures rather frequently (which is kind of like saying the ocean is rather damp). On April 16th he went on his 1000th ride, which was made very special through the efforts of several CMs and members of this board...

    Lokheed's SWSA Update: 4/30/05

    Just got home from another Saturday afternoon at the Magic Kingdom with my son Ben. Twelve times on Snow White's Scary Adventures today, bringing his grand total to 1025. Personally, I've kind of reached the Zen of Snow White at this point. Anyway, the weird malfunction this afternoon is...

    SW1K - The Plan

    For anyone interested in witnessing SW1K (see previous thread here regarding my son reaching 1000 rides on Snow White's Scary Adventures), the current plan is for him to hit the 1000th ride at 12:15 tomorrow, give or take five minutes. We will be arriving in the park at about 10am and stopping...
