We are all familiar with Imagineering's "Ride Salutes" like the Nautilus carved into Pooh's Tree House but how about Old Props used in other attractions, hotels or parks at WDW? I found a diver from the 20K ride, now painted white, in Sid Cahuenga's truck! DHS has lots of these things, what...

Look at this - This is a rendering of the finished Sao Paulo, Brazil Monorail Service depot. currently in the land clearing stage. Yes, that's 30 7 car Bombardier INNOVIA 300 trains with walk thru cars! Dag gum that there's a lot of Monorails! Well so much for the too expensive argument...

What is the new construction just AFTER the stretching rooms but BEFORE the Ride Load? The walls are opened up and inner walls covered up in black cloth. There is matching construction in the exit corridor. It looks like the old private bypass hallways which had doors and theming are being...

This may be just "new to me" - Fresh made potato chips with cheese, ranch and bacon! Can't go wrong with bacon! Got my new Fantasyland favorite.

As much as I like the front half of Tomorrowland, I keep wishing the Entrance Tower Fountains were still there. Between PeopleMovers rolling in and out, the Astro orbiter spinning, the fountains would bring the action right out to the hub facing entrance. Growing up from the rocks with texture...

The Bengal Barbecue is a cool "grab 'n go" food location in Disneyland's Adventureland. They serve skewered chicken (spicy), beef and bacon wrapped asparagus plus the always drooled for Tiger Tail bread. It's located in a thatched open air building, very themed. The grilling is in a faux...

Does anyone know status of the five AK Discovery River Boats since the attraction was closed? Where are the boats currently located? Are they being used for something else? Just wondering.

Now that Monorail Teal has hit the beam running, and looks great, does any one know about the 12th monorail? (Please do not name a Color to avoid a 2000 message discussion which some other brave soul can post!) Here's the question: Is WDW rebuilding the 2 damaged end cars locally OR will they...

Has TDO cut so many corners that the 3 deaths are a reflection of neglect vs legitimate savings? Is this the point Disneyland reached several years ago during their rampant penny pinching that reduced park maintenance to the point where guests died on DL's Big Thunder Mt? Afterward DL...

I heard the Body Wars simulators were removed some time ago from WoL and salvaged for a future HKDL Star Tours. Does anyone know if this is true or what actually has happened to the simulators. I was thinking one simulator could be reused for Monorail training. Removing the existing...

Tonight is the last night for Top 7 and Stacey.........and now, introducing the latest tour program "Must Do Disney" starring.........(wait for it)...........Stacey-lite now only half as irritating! It's nice to finally see new material and a fresher look. Granted some of the material is...

Remember the Empress Lilly Riverboat? The Baton Rouge Lounge? For 18 years Denny Zavett performed to a packed house! Well he's back and appearing at the Port Orleans Riverside "River Roost" on Saturday, June 21st from 8:30pm - 12 midnight. Sorry that's all the details I know.

Does anyone remember these steam powered rocking beam side wheelers? There used to be two of these boats that cruised Bay Lake and the Seven Seas Lagoon. One was the Ports-O-Call an the other one was the Osceola. They were used between the MK and Discovery Island (formerly Treasure Island)...

Last week Bedtime Stories stopped airing every night at WDW. For those of you not familiar with Bedtime Stories it used to air each night on Channel 14 which normally is the Radio Disney channel. Each night a read-a-long program of 6 or so stories aired from 7:30pm to just after 10:00pm. This...
