Wow! Those were neat! Thanks! - Skip "Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor mantenganse alejado de las puertas." :D

You're welcome! :) I'll have to remember to catch the "Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor mantenganse alejado de las puertas." line the next time I'm on. :) Here are some recent pictures I took in the front of one of the monorails...

Wow! Anyone have any indoor pictures of the ride, similar to pics of Space Mountain with the lights on? I bet the room it's in must be cavernous! I really like Rock 'N' Roller Coaster, probably because I can't SEE what it actually looks like before I get on the ride. Very nice touch. And...

ToT scared the b'jeezus out of me my first time riding it. My friend and I had never been on a dropping ride before, and he was thrilled. I was so scared I actually screamed "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" during the drop sequence. After it was done, I had that usual rush of euphoria "I survived" and I...

There's a part of me that wishes that they would rehab our Space Mountain (WDW). Even on the outside it's starting to look a bit run down. http://www.skippypodar.net/WebGallery/WDW-05092004-web/images/DSC02101.jpg - WDW Space Mountain It'd be cool if the WDW Space Mountain (SM) was more like...

Hehehe, I see it too. Great picture! - Skip :)

Here's another recent projection on timings and windspeed: Frances is a much larger hurricane than Charley, so most of the state will start receiving rains and moderate wind several hours before the eye arrives. It's tough to say how much this will effect the Orlando area, as Frances will...

Yeah. And looking at this recent satellite image, I have a feeling all the airports in the state will be closed this weekend: :( For more information on hurricanes and how they work, visit the following link: http://science.howstuffworks.com/hurricane.htm/printable - Skip :(

Thanks! I teach a leisure course on using Adobe Photoshop here at UF, and I like to "show off" every once in a while. :) In light of all the gloom and doom in this thread, I had to post a picture of "Skippy" wearing his Mickey Mouse hat. :D I think it's oddly appropriate that it's Skippy...

Yep, they generate up to 40% of their own electricity for the property and I believe all the resorts have backup generators. Furthermore, since all the electrical wiring is underground, the primary source of power outages (downed powerlines) is not a problem for WDW. - Skip :)

I wouldn't say "dumb". I too was planning on being at WDW when the hurricane arrived. If you check out the Hurricane Charley threads, WDW has a very good Hurricane preparedness plan and everyone seemed to be safe and sound. In my situation though, I was also planning to attend a wedding in...

Skip's reservation follow up! Well, it's not the dream weekend I had planned, but I guess it's close enough. The folks at WDW Resort reservations let me shift my reservation from this weekend to the weekend of FRIDAY, SEPT 17 - SUNDAY, SEPT 19. My deposit for this Friday night was...

Hurricanes suck. :( I actually have reservations for the Port Orleans French Quarter resort this weekend (Friday, Sept. 3 - Monday, Sept. 6, 2004) and I was going to surprise my girlfriend with dinner Friday night at the California Grill (atop the Contemporary Resort Hotel). :( Even as I...

Gee... 6 seasonal passes to WDW would be... expen$ive! Thank you! :D I teach a course here at UF on using Adobe Photoshop, so it's great when I get to do stuff like this at work and get paid for it. :D...

Oh, you definitely have to see Wishes! I saw it for the first time when we took my Dad to WDW for his 61st birthday and it makes me teary eyed everytime I see it. So, give us a report when you come back! Oh... and when you get back... AND ONLY WHEN YOU GET BACK, click on the links below...

The many views of Wishes Two places that I'm going to view it next time, from Main Street, and then from the top of the Contemporary Resort. Here are two videos I shot of Wishes. 1. From the bridge leading to AdventureLand (near the Crystal Palace)...

Hmmm... nope didn't work I guess. Apparently it stripped out the "img" tag. - Skip :(

Hmmm... like this? - Skip :)

I like the 80s because the of the Rubik's Cubes. They look so cool lit up at night. Here's a link to one of the pictures I took of them: http://photoalbums.wdwmagic.com/showphoto.php?photo=9988&size=big&password=fbf924d1279d120e565a09995eab26bf&sort=1&cat=3106 - Rubik's Cubes However, the...

Watch for Hidden Mickeys - fun with Adobe Photoshop Hi all: When I entered our office building I noticed they had the "Caution: Wet Floor" placard out, so I decided to have some fun with Adobe Photoshop. I grabbed my digital camera (which I carry everywhere with me) and took a picture and...
