    Medical Help at Disney-Going with Cancer

    I've been a long time fan of these boards, and I've weathered more than a few WDW trips. I've always been at the peak of health every time I've gone and I'm used to moving at a frantic pace-commando style. I just got some terrible news. I've been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer-all at the...

    Is the 2009 Park Soundtrack CD out yet?

    Every year I go out of my way to collect the latest soundtracks from the parks each year. Last year's (red casing) was nigh impossible to find-only one shop had it during my trip in September.... Anyways, does anyone know if the new CD is out and what tracks are on it? Thanks, A.

    Disney Soundtrack Mystery

    Every year that I hit the parks, I tend to grab the latest CD filled with park music. Last year had that awesome 2-disc set (I even got the one from Disneyland too) with the blue packaging. Last week, I hit EVERY store on property looking for this year's CD. Only a single store had a copy...

    A Few Observations

    Just got back from the World and had quite a bit to mentally digest. I really can't believe that I'm back home...sigh. Here are a few things I noticed: 1. With the exception of yesterday, the waterfall/Davy Jones effect in Pirates was broken deteriorating by the day. Saturday, it was...

    A Touching Moment

    Last Wednesday in the American Adventure at Epcot, there was a strange little occurrence that we had stumbled into. We first noticed a number of Disney VIPs in our general vicinity, and a solemn family sitting on one of the plush chairs. A special dedication to Randy (I think Bright was...

    What Are the Odds

    We returned from our 1-week stay at WDW last night, enjoying the Dining Plan throughout the entire experience. We only had 3 reservations set-up, so we had to wing it for the most of the duration. We'd always wanted to get into Le Cellier in the Canada Pavilion at Epcot (Center), but despite...

    Just saw Wall*E and...

    I believe the early take for this movie will be terrific, yet I have a feeling that the revenue is going to drop quickly. Unlike all the other Pixar movies, this is one that I have no intention of ever seeing again. I know of quite a few others who've seen Wall*E feel the same way. I wonder...

    Another DHS-Indiana Jones merchandize question

    OK, I promise this will be my last question about Indiana Jones merchandise at Disney Hollywood Studios (Must resist the MGM...). My Halloween costume is nearly complete. I've got a whip (which might be replaced by a better one bought at the parks, we'll see...), shirt, webbed-belt, gun belt...

    At Disney Hollywood Studios- Do They Sell...

    Quick question: Do they sell Indiana Jones-style whips at Disney Hollywood Studios? I know they have oodles of rubber snakes and stuff, but do they have whips that at least look similar to that of our film favorite archaeologist? I'm getting my Halloween costume ready so I don't wind up...

    When is the time to sign up for the new Trip Planning DVD?

    Normally around this time of year, these boards are buzzing with the news that Disney is offering new trip planning DVDs. Last year's combo with DisneyLand and WDW mashed together with more people talking than the parks displayed was a major letdown. I want the new one to help me convince the...

    A belated Halloween picture... opinions please

    Here is a costume, mostly scratch-built for a Halloween contest at work. The prize was a trip to Hawaii, but sadly I got beat out by a store bought costume. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    Any chance of another free Dining Plan offer?

    This last September, the wife and I really enjoyed the Dining Plan. It was a great lever with which to convince the wife to let me go back to WDW this year (considering we had to buy all-new siding for our house). We had a great time and trying all the different types of food defined our...

    Darwinian Thought and POTC

    During our last trip, the POTC had a steady cycle of people heading into its entrance, past a couple switchbacks and into the first real section of the cue where it splits into 2 lines. Everyone ahead of us kept going to the left, following the crowd. The right side was never barricaded, but...

    Trip Report- 9/22-9/28 A Week of Mousing Around

    Greetings everyone, I finally got to return to WDW after family, job and health concerns kept us away for 2 years (although we DID sneak off to DisneyLand last year... heh). Here are my views, subject to your opinions, and welcoming your responses. Let me preface this with this simple fact. I...

    It's been awhile, and now I need advice

    In preparation for my trip in September, I've been wondering quite a few things. Please keep in mind that I'm no slouch when it comes to WDW. I can make my way through the Magic Kingdom and Epcot (Center) blindfolded, and can point out more hidden mickeys than most outside of these forums...

    Coronado- better than C. Beach?

    My wife and I have stayed at Caribbean Beach for every one of our trips. She expressed interest in Coronado and was wondering what the pros & cons of staying there are. How are the pools, distance to bus stops (and the lines to get onto those buses...) My wife said no to a trip this year...

    Disney booking blues

    Hi there everyone, the wife and I tried to plan a trip to WDW this year. We've gone 4 times since our wedding in 2000 and have always stayed at Caribbean Beach Resort. As recently as 2004, we were able to get a room with a king-sized bed and a parking lot view for $110 in October- which was...

    Parade questions...

    I have a friend who's going to WDW over the New Year, and her daughter is hoping to see certain personalities. When and where would one be able to see Hanna Montana/ Miley Cyrus. Is she there for a specific day or show? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Do you think Innoventions will be seeing Xbox 360 at all?

    The Innoventions at Disneyland is getting a Microsoft makeover, likely with 360 consoles set up. This reminds me of when Sega was at Epcot. In fact, I actually have a prop display from that in one of my game rooms. Being the gaming nut that I am (I'm probably the most intense player on...

    Does anyone know when the new planning DVDs are out?

    I love those trip planning DVDs and often use them to get my "Disney fix". They're also useful for convincing the wife to let me go on a trip. So... when is the next one coming out. The last one I got was pieced together mostly from the old one- with just a touch of Everest and that annoying guy...
