I've always thought that Disney deliberately created it's next potential log ride or flume/coaster ride with the Incan (I think) pyramid in "The Emperor's New Groove." There are elements in the movie where it literally is a thrill ride. And that would take care of storyline for a new...

Storytellers is only for breakfast. We did it. It was fun. Chip & Dale, Mickey, and Br'er Bear were the only ones there. Maybe Goofy, too. I can't remember. Ariel's Grotto is quite good. Food is fixed price, includes soup or salad, drinks and dessert w/ entree of your choice, and a...

Thanks for all the responses. The thought was to possibly have the girls design one. Problem is, how do they justify earning it? That's why I posted the query/thread...because we need some ideas, particularly if someone out there has been able to earn a patch for scouts.

Just to clarify... So if I buy from Disney Store 4 Day Park Hopper Plus tickets, the card they sell me will be good for entry to the parks, including park-hopping...plus admission to the "plus" features like the water parks and Pleasure Island?

Has any of you ever pre-bought your WDW multi-day passes at a Disney Store? I know they offer them for sale. Is it worth it? I've been told that if you do buy in advance at Disney Stores, you get a discount from what it would cost if you bought them at WDW ticket booths. Is this true...

Has anybody out there ever been able to earn a Girl Scout patch that had anything to do with a visit to Walt Disney World? If so, how did you earn the patch? My daughters--a Brownie and a Junior Girl Scout--have been trying to formulate a way of earning one or making one for our upcoming...

We're only planning to do 6 days at the theme parks, using the other days for the water parks and Kennedy Space Center. On our theme park days, we were thinking park hop, but the reality is both MGM and AK can pretty much be done in one full day apiece, leaving MK and Epcot two slower paced...

Expect crowds anywhere from moderate to insane. Use your Fast Pass like your life depended on it. We went to Disneyland on December 27th two years back and it was so crowded you could barely move. Getting in line for something...anything...no matter how long the line...was bliss because...

The new ticketing system is creating anxiety at our house. Pros to old tickets are that a Park Hopper Plus included just about everything we needed...or at least thought we'd need. My family is planning to go to WDW in June--two families total, one from Atlanta, one from Los Angeles--for ten...

I think you nailed it on the head by calling these attractions "fillers." They aren't sexy in any way to Disney brass, just bland attractions to Disney Brass that can eventually be replaced. Problem is, a lot of them just go dark and sit dormant. So for the CBJ to Pooh Bear...

Now wait a second. I just did the Pooh Bear ride for a second time--first time was last December. As much as I seriously miss the Country Bears (particularly at Christmas...I mean I just can't hear "Winter Wonderland" w/o singing it like Big Al), the Pooh Bear ride I consider a lateral--a...

What are you guys talking about?!!! This attraction is open. I just went on it on July 4th. And it doesn't seem to be in any kind of doom or danger of closing. If anything, the entire area--pre-show and show--looked pretty spiffed up to me.

I was at DL on the 4th of July. Took the wife and kids to celebrate good grades and to do something special for the holiday, and went anticipating horrible crowds. We weren't sure what to expect, and warned the kids that we may only be able to do a few rides since we weren't going to arrive to...

So if Disney is posting MK hours as 9:00am to 10:00pm for every day during the third week of June, you're saying E-Ride Night hours doesn't happen until 10:00pm? Does that mean it goes 10:00 til midnight or 1:00am? Seems kind of late to me.

Excuse this query if it's been asked and answered before (but not by me). I'm confused about operating hours at MK during E-Ride nights. Looking at the official WDW website, they list the same park hours for almost every night (at least consistent hours). And they don't refer to the...

Space Mountain is closed until sometime well into 2005. I know a lot of people recommend riding Matterhorn first--not a bad strategy, but only if you want to hang around Fantasyland and get on some of its rides before the real lines start. I know you can pretty much do Dumbo, Peter Pan's...

No you won't. You'll be standing in line (and its usually a long line) and the freakin' ride will break down. Or you'll trek through the park to Toontown and find the doors shut and a CM making apologies--both scenarios happen every day at DL. And Fast Passes are moot for this one. The...

When exactly are you thinking of going? And define "one full day." If you're going during Chrismas Vacation, Thanksgiving weekend, or the week before or after Easter, expect Disneyland to be packed to almost sick levels. Popular rides will have 90-120 (or more) minute waits. Fast Passes...

I hope they add some Roger Rabbit themed ride(s), but please don't make it a copy of Disneyland's. Not unless they work the recent bugs out of it. Since the accident with the little boy and the renovation that followed, this ride breaks down multiple times daily. The last four times I've been...

I think you guys both made my point. As far as 1 day passes go, both WDW and Universal are similarly priced. Problem is, there are only two Universal parks, and four Disney parks--plus two water parks, Disneyquest, etc. that they factor into "Plus" passes. To take full advantage of the...
