    Goodbye Kryssa... hello Stacy

    .. Oh God no. :( I can't understand all of the rancor toward Kryssa, one of the hottest Disney girls. Even if you found her grating and missed the old WDW Tour, if you're a Disney fan, you've got to respect her enthusiasm for Disney (albeit possibly feigned, heh). This would be a...

    I Hate this Thread!!! (news from the Dr.)

    Hm, what lousy news for me. I do occasionally stay at the Swan and Dolphin -- however, more frequently, my family will use the Swan and Dolphin parking lot as our Epcot / MGM parking lot. We simply find it more enjoyable (and usually more convenient) to park the vehicle at the resort and walk /...

    Photos from inside Soarin'

    I think it looks great -- more futuristic and detailed than I had anticipated. The design itself looks like an interesting amalgam of airport terminal designs; the blue neon reminds me of O'Hare International. The lighting and arched ceiling are nice as well.

    Norway Ride

    I love Maelstrom -- it's one of the highlights of the International Showcase, and the trolls, oil rigs, and vikings are great. Now, as for the movie, I was among those who instantly sprinted for the exit the moment the doors opened. I shall do so no longer! During my most recent Epcot visit, I...

    December Meet -- Official pictures, posts, etc.

    Hrm, I hope not -- that would mean that I'm mocked during my WDW vacations for this: <img src="http://calamar.dnsalias.com/images/florida/2004-11-24/P1010057.JPG" width="50%"> (Note Stitch's head poking out of camera bag.) I'm certain your Stitch would be treated with great respect, rather...

    WDW tour still on WDW resort television

    I'm torn. As a Disney fan, I'm shocked by the disappearance of the old WDW Tour, and I initially was drawn toward the Spanish alternative. Of course, as a guy, I can't stop watching Kryssa's WDW Tour. She's a hot Disney girl and acts like a complete loon -- she meets my criteria. :P Har...

    GRizz & Jim Hill Round 2

    I'm disappointed that Jim Hill's article has quelled some of the fervor for the integrity of the Land Pavilion. Firstly, like others, I find it difficult to believe that the movement could be used as ammunition to cut the Imagineer's resources. More importantly, I take issue with the...

    Captain EO

    Awesome! Although I find Michael Jackson disturbing today, as many do, I've got to respect his earlier work. I've recently viewed the Captain Eo video on #disney-central, and I'm highly impressed. I remember enjoying the attraction, too, though my initial response wasn't entirely positive. I...

    New music for RnRC...

    New Audio on RNRC! Actually, Disney has tested new audio on (formerly Aerosmith's) Rock 'n' Roller Coaster! Back in early May, I experienced this first-hand. Although Aerosmith's "Dude Looks Like a Lady" was playing as the ride began, the audio abruptly stopped after a few seconds. It was up to...

    What is your LEAST favorite Disney Resort?

    <img src="http://68.158.66.244/images/mardigras.jpg"> I AM FRIGHTENED. Heh, my previous trip, earlier this month, included my first stay at POFQ. I loved the resort; it exceeded my expectations -- however, it's probably my least favorite. My first choice was actually the much-maligned...

    El Rio De Tiempo

    Strange. I distinctly recall finding the lyrics somewhere on the Web, but now I'm unable to find that page. Heh, I love the 'El Rio Del Tiempo' theme, and I had always wanted to learn its lyrics. Fortunately, I also acquired the tune off alt.binaries.multimedia.disney, so here they are. This is...

    Suit: Disney Fired Woman Who Wore Hijab

    Yes -- I'm strongly opposed to the widespread anti-beard sentiments among employers. I probably would have enrolled in the WDW College Program if I had been allowed to keep my beard. I can understand why Disney wouldn't want its cast members to grow a filthy five-foot beard or patchy stubble...

    no june emh

    Hm, no extra magic hour -- does this imply a change in the 'WDW Tour' channel? Kryssa generally explains the extra magic hour on that channel ('sounds pretty cool, right?'), and this could lead to some confusion among guests unless it is removed. This seems like a fine opportunity for the...

    Mission:Space Race Game Online

    Heh, I actually spent a moment in front of an Epcot Space Race kiosk a couple of days ago, but I was too impatient to actually play -- I had more attractions to see ..! Now, playing the game at home, I find that it is rather addictive, though it isn't the most sophisticated game. The Epcot web...

    Not Over California?

    Personally, I've found it ridiculous that the Soarin' ride is planned to be "Over California" -- a little inappropriate for Epcot's Futureworld, in my opinion. I'm glad that "Over California" was dropped from the name, but unfortunately it seems that the California ride video will be used...

    Staying on Disney & using facilities of all resorts

    When I visited Walt Disney World earlier this week (3 days), I faced this problem as well. I was unable to reserve a room at my first choice among resorts, so I was interested in using the facilities of the other resorts. The cast members at the resorts informed me that it was possible for...

    Epcots empty buildings?

    I suppose the discussion is limited to the pavilions of Futureworld, but consider the design of International Showcase -- it is also organized into pavilions, and it's thriving. I don't think the pavilions are to blame for the state of Futureworld, but the content. The history and culture you...

    Beastly Kingdom Concept Pictures

    Hm, I didn't know that -- but the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park opened in 1964.

    Finally...Star Tours Update?

    Yeah, absolutely -- but don't forget my favorite Star Wars location: Coruscant! I want Rex to wildly fly through traffic at night in Coruscant, past all those high-rises. Toward the end, maybe he could nearly crash into the Jedi Council's tower, only to be directed away by Yoda's use of the...

    Animals on Everest?

    Hey, you've just inspired an excellent idea -- the parks are filled with cast members portraying humanoid fantastical creatures, such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. Shouldn't the Critter Cast Members have similar obligations? Add a horn to horse, and you've got a unicorn! Perfect for a Beastly...
