    Fire breaks out Enchanted Tiki Room

    That's my assumption as well. I would think Iago 2 would be the scorched one (not that there's a difference any more :lookaroun) that shows up over the exit door.

    Book Recommendation

    I concur with Nick_A's suggestions... both very good. Also surprisingly good is Lee Cockerell's Creating Magic. It's essentially leadership advice... but a lot of tidbits about the "zen" of Disney as well.

    Ariel's Undersea Adventure to be a submarine ride?

    Oooh... Martin's Question Time. "The right honourable gentleman from Manchester." *misses the days of watching Betty Boothroyd and Paddy Ashdown hash it out on BBC Parliament via C-SPAN*.

    Ariel's Undersea Adventure to be a submarine ride?

    Presuming they're referring to Disney Files magazine, I'm not seeing anything about subs, but there is an interesting note that since Ariel's hair is supposed to behave like it's underwater, her hair will be animatronic, too. As in, her hair will be animated.

    Dining Discounts now in times guide

    As others have said, this is very smart discounting... does anyone remember "surprise fastpasses"? Back in the stone age days (you know, before Soarin' :lookaroun), if you ran right over to Mission: Space or Test Track and got a fastpass right at rope drop, you also got a "Surprise Fastpass" to...

    Interactive cakes coming to a park near you?

    One thing we're quite perhaps overlooking is the future potential once the technique is perfected. We're fixating on "that big ugly projector," but the usual case with patents/invention is that when you're doing early research, the first step is to make it work, no matter how unwieldy it is...

    Interactive cakes coming to a park near you?

    Obviously they'll use this to achieve the interactive video/photo aspect promised for the nightly castle show when they turn it into a giant cake for the 40th annivesary next year. :lookaroun :lookaroun :drevil:

    Will Disney World be celebrating 40 years next year?

    Very neat idea. Shame I'm not local (yet :lookaroun)... I'd love to go and geek out with the crew.

    Yep. I ended up getting several shirts and so forth earleir this month, and I had seen online that it was out several months before. Didn't see the ornaments though.

    Disney, Universal win insurance waivers.....

    Civil discussion is typically allowed as long as it directly relates to the topic at hand (with a focus on Disney). It's when the feces starts flying or it turns into "Donkeys stink" "no, elephants stink" that things get mod'd. Or sometimes the mods will determine that it's stayed civil for...

    Will Disney World be celebrating 40 years next year?

    Totally forgot to mention the flashmob... for July 16th and 17th, it temporarily replaced DVC as Disney's best kept "secret" :ROFLOL:

    Disney, Universal win insurance waivers.....

    I do not disagree with your basic tenents here... my point is that the same decision (medicine or electricity) could also have to be made if increased premiums result in lower take-home pay. Premiums at my company have skyrockted, along with increased deductibles, lower payouts, and more...
