I highly recommend: Walt Disney Imagineering : A Behind the Dreams Look At Making the Magic Real

The forums aren't very forgiving for long URLs I guess. I put the image on my Yahoo album for ya.

Yes, they make a nasty sort of hiss and it's not a sound I like to remember.

I would feed frozen chicken to Egrets and Herons when I lived in Florida, until I realized that it seemed sort of cannibalistic.

I would have to say it is more of a State Fair food. I've had one before at the fair and it didn't seem to bother me as much since you can walk around looking like a slob while hanging out with farm animals. At Walt Disney World I would let something like that bother me and there is a little bit...

I am about 225 pounds and slightly barrel-chested. I have to say there have only been two rides I have ever felt uncomfortable on. Montu at Busch Gardens and Misson:Space. They both have overhead restraints which press down firmly on your chest making it very hard to breathe while not moving. I...

Last October I stayed at the Caribbean resort and actually got a downgrade from a King to two doubles. It was late so I didn't want to bother going back to the front desk to complain. After I got home I received a refund check for the difference in price without even asking. I assume I got a...

Has anyone used the Disney Investment Plan (http://disney.go.com/corporate/investors/shareholder/faq_investmentplan.html). If so are you happy with how it works? Is it better than purchasing through a broker or using an online service? I was considering signing up for the program and I was...

I agree, you can sort of get that feeling. I had thoughts of doing in the first night we were on our trip, but since she was in a bad mood I held it off. You can tell when it's right.

I proposed to my girlfriend toward the end of the Wishes fireworks show with no special arrangements. She seemed to love it and was VERY surprised. I had been planning the trip for months, but my plans were messed up. I planned on going to MK and proposing to her on the first night during the...

WOW, that is quite a blast from the past. Thanks for sharing!

Ok, this is getting a little off topic. However, I actually found the goal of saving up some funds for a Disney trip in an interest bearing (low, but something nonetheless) money market account a great goal and a way to get caught up financially. After saving up the money and NOT using credit...

I know this isn't exactly a villain, but these are the most frightening things I've seen at the Magic Kingdom. The trumpeters in the Spectromagic parade. The glowing masks just gave me the creeps.

I'm not sure about the Publix in Orlando, but one of their stores in Venice had a sushi chef. You could ask them to make a certain roll for you just like a sushi bar. And get this, it was actually good! That was enough to get me there. I miss their Cubans (sandwiches that is) and getting malt...

Amen to that! You know Target is from Minnesota, so it can't be that bad. I can't stand going to Wal-Mart here. After the last time I was there I told my girlfriend I'm NEVER going back. You know what's more depressing than shopping at Wal-Mart? WORKING THERE!!! Especially when it's your first...

To answer your last question concerning crime rate and school performance, I move to Florida from Iowa a couple years ago (since then moved back). I don't have any kids, but from what I gathered while living there. Florida has the worst public schools in the country. They have a 0 budget, the...

I moved to Florida about 3 years ago from Iowa. Although I moved to the Gulf Coast (the town of Venice), I was a little shocked by the cultural differences :hammer:. From my own observation, a lot of the problem seems to lie on the aged population (who often gets taken advantage of), naive...

I agree, when you finally figure out how to do it, there is a lot of music to be found on #Disney-Central. I am also amazed at the quality. I mean where do people find this stuff? This is just music somebody recorded off a camcorder in the attractions, this is like the original music. In a way I...

I checked it out at the risk of getting myself into trouble at work. :lookaroun You need to install mIRC or a similar chat program on your computer. Then you connect to the "Newnet" server, join the #Disney-Central channel, type !list (which will show all the people sharing files, copy a trigger...

I have no bias to the site. I just knew it was a place to purchase items from the park. I have never used them so I couldn't necessarily recommend them. I agree, it is a way to take a second look at what's available. I would be very surprised that Disney would have a website to purchase items as...
