    For fun, if you were adding on more points where would you try to buy in?

    BLT owner- and very pleased there (overall convenience is invaluable IMHO). That said- were we to add- it would first be at VGC (or a dream Disneyland 4 Diamond Hotel DVC) to also have the 11 month window out there when I visit my sister (and nephew & nieces) in LA. Second would be AKL b/c wife...

    Nasty incident outside Club Cool at Epcot tonight

    Semper Fi Love that on any given day there seem to be a fair amount of military and recent ex-military in the parks (for all our sakes). Hope Disney keeps it that way (military discounts, etc.)...

    Would you live in Disney World?

    Golden Oak looks very nice- and I am sure that I would enjoy living there as a certified "Disney nut" (as most of us are). That said from a million dollar plus "investment" POV I feel the jury is still out on whether there will be enough celebrities, South American jet-setters and Americans "of...

    Music that reminds you of WDW

    HAHA. Me too. Along those lines- any time I hear Van Halen (1984 was on the radio 24/7 right before my first ever trip to WDW as an 8 year-old in 1984) or Guns N' Roses [saw their two "recent" shows in Orlando (Amway 2011 and House Of Blues Orlando at DTD in 2012) while on Disney vacations]...

    "Der Rhein" - a new boat ride at Epcot's Germany pavilion

    Good point about Wagner/Leopold and Hitler Sam4D23. The more and more I think about it- perhaps something like this could "skate by" if Wagner and Der Ring des Nibelungen was only one of several different "idyllic" German "scenes" set to music from the true masters (Bach, Beethoven, Wagner...

    "Der Rhein" - a new boat ride at Epcot's Germany pavilion

    Very tough nut to crack with Germany's checkered/controversial history in the 20th Century. Personally- I would love to see a "Rhine River Cruise" set to Wagner's Der Ring des Niebulungen (The Ring of the Nibelung). Such a ride would build off a concept that's been in the drawer for a long time...

    'A Frozen Holiday Wish' to begin November 5

    I am pretty sure WDW stays in "holiday mode" through the end of business on January 6th/7th (i.e. Epiphany/Eastern Orthodox Christmas) and possibly even a day or two later. Also- as has been stated- Frozen obviously has a "wintery" theme to it that could argue continued use a few weeks longer...

    If you could build your own ride at Disney...

    This a million times over. Would be great if they could wedge it into Liberty Square (though no idea how feasible that would be) somehow. I would also love to see a ride at DHS (or whatever it becomes) just dedicated exclusively to the Battle of Hoth from Empire Strikes Back. It has been my...

    30 Days of Disney - Day 22 - most underrated movie

    HAHA. Well- I guess I really mean the Greek setting/motif more than anything. The animation style itself is "ok" for me- but nothing spectacular.

    Have you ever been evacuated off of a Disney ride?

    We got evacuated off Splash Mountain at DL last March during one of their huge/crowded "Spring Break" days. They took us out through the dark sets. It was definitely a bit unnerving to see all the animatronic characters still blinking and moving their mouths as if they were singing- even though...

    Hilton Head renovations

    Live very close to HHI- and it's a beautiful resort. We use it for overnights if/when we do a night in the town on Hilton Head. Strongly recommended- particularly for "offseason" (as long as you don't have your hearts set on the beach, etc.). Much easier to get all the restaurants and golf...

    The stroll down Main Street

    Gotcha! Disneyland kicks butt. Was just there last March. Totally get it. My sister lives in LA. Hope to visit DL with my nieces and nephew very often in the years ahead!:cool:

    The stroll down Main Street

    Very understandable. The "history" and charm of DL's Main Street is undeniable/unparalleled. Personally- I prefer the larger scale of WDW- and as an East Coaster- that's where the vast majority of my Disney vacations occurred (made it to DL once in my youth). Always going to have a special...

    30 Days of Disney - Day 22 - most underrated movie

    Yes music is fantastic- as is the animation/scenery (very reminiscent of the "Pastoral Symphony" scene in Fantasia IMHO)...

    The stroll down Main Street

    Even though Epcot is my favorite park- I consider Main Street USA my favorite "location" of all. I will always try to linger, take it all in and search for a detail somewhere that I hadn't noticed yet. Ideally- I end up with a popcorn, a soda and a bench/seat somewhere in an and around Crystal...
