Perhaps go to the NASA space center? Or Daytona Beach for the day? -- M

Radios... We also love using the radios... we have the kind with the SubCodes (we have some of the older Motorola ones). I paid about $25 each for them, and we have 3. If your party is outside a ride building, and you're in the ride, you can talk with no problems. When you have issues is...

I believe the recycling was part of the originally announced plan. It was like "bring 5 expired discs back for recycling and get one for free" or soemthing like that. But I agree with the previous poster... they really need to get to the price point of $2-$4 before these'll sell. -- M

I believe Jeb Bush is trying to start a movement to have the Florida constitutional amendment passed a few years back mandating the gov't in Florida to build the rail system repealed, which would cancel the whole shebang. One of the main contention spots was Disney wanted the train to run...

I wouldn't count on the Sea Cabs coming back... the attraction still doesn't have a sponsor after losing United Technologies more than 2 years ago. Disney didn't want to pay for the rehab of the cabs themselves, and without a sponsor to defray the cost they just walled off the area. It's my...

The Value resorts have interconnecting rooms. We were at Movies last week and had two rooms with an interconnecting door. We had a 9 person party. We had 4 in our room, 1 in the adjoining room, and 4 in a room 3 doors down from us. This was done by Diney themselves - - we did not request...

The ride portion of the Living Seas was closed when I was there 2 years ago, and was still closed last week when we were there. It's got a permanent looking wall blocking it off (as opposed to a temporary "rehab" like wall). My understanding was that the ride mechanism needed maintenance at...

The ride actually only uses the cartoon characters from that movie... you never see or hear Uncle Remus. The cartoon character voices sing the songs. They avoided referring to any of the movie's elements altogether that were decided to be controversial.

I had also heard that HMH was delayed because of the Stitch update in Tomorrowland. Last I heard it was planned for 2005. As for Time Racers, Jim Hill had a pretty detailed description about a coaster-like ride that launched at ground level on the Universe of Energy side of the...

Got my DVD on Friday... We got our DVD on Friday and watched it with the kids yesterday. It's all updated with the "Magical Gatherings" info. I thought it was rather well set up. It's got chapters for each park, Pal Mickey, FASTPASS, etc. Then they have a section where you can see promos...

To follow up on another point... I don't think the goal would be to make "heaps of money" for Disney. If I remember correctly, didn't the article mention that Disney likely makes more with the flat fee than if you added up all the rides a typical "family" would ride? As much as I'd like to, I...

I believe the point of the article was to show how recognizing income in their accounting system on a per-ride basis may encourage them to simply make better rides. I wouldn't expect they'd keep the income within each ride's "account". But don't you think they might budget ride construction a...

Orlando International... Actually, the rumor was part of a larger plan to increase the monorail's reach to the parks and resorts. In the plan, there would be a light rail system (i.e. not monorail, but more like a traditional train) that would run to Orlando International.

It was basicly a slow dark ride. You moved along past scenes, and then towards the end a panel lit up in front of you where you could pick one of a couple endings for your ride, which was projected on a screen in front of your car.

There is no high-speed internet access in the resort hotel rooms. You are limited to dialup access via the in-room phone like mntioned above. But even then, you get reamed with the phone use charges....:eek:

It's my understanding that the ride has been (and continues to be) massively delayed by a monetary dispute regarding who should pay to upgrade the projector and sound system in the ride vehicles....

You may have misunderstood... Your source, when saying "Between Living Seas and The Land" for the Hurricane Sim, is likely just referring to the empty lot, and not an actual plan to link the buildings all together.

Rates... I can get the AP through my AAA membership... but my question was more if anyone had the AP rates for the All Star Movies resort for last year. In order to figure out if the AP is going to be worth it, I'd like to use last year's AP rate at the All Star Movies (seeing how this year...

Very nice year round... I've been in WDW in January for a conference before, and the pools at the Carribean Beach resort were GREAT after a long day. If those pools aren't heated, they sure dud retain their temp well! The best part was that with the cool air and the warm water, the pool had...
