    Park at the TTC, take the resort Monorail to the Contemporary. Take the resort Monorail to the MK after breakfast. Take the resort Monorail from MK back to TTC after your day in the park.

    4/3 MK Photo Update

    The "path" that the water "jumps" sets off the motion detectors in that area (the "Laughin' Place"). Before they put in the motion detectors (to catch guests getting out of logs and running around inside the mountain), there wasn't a problem with keeping the jumping fountains operational. But...

    Should CMs allow you to return after your Fastpass time expired?

    Yes, we accept FastPasses late, but that's usually the exception; very few guests will show up late for a FastPass time. When I worked out at Splash, I accepted late FPs at FP Return. There may be extenuating circumstances: you got held up by breakfast/lunch/dinner; got held up by the...

    Tom Sawyer Island paintbrushes

    That's correct ;) Just bring ONE back to the raft driver, and you'll receive a "FastPass" sort of thing to use at either Splash or Thunder. My story when I was a raft driver: "Ol' Tom 'n Huck were paintin' the fences over by Aunt Polly's, but they got lazy and wanted to go explorin' the...

    Vintage Disney World Photos Online

    Uhhh...no. The pre-"redone" Tomorrowland is the *real* Tomorrowland. The pristine white...the spires towering over the waterfalls...Mission to Mars...If You Had Wings...Grand Prix Raceway...The Skyway to Fantasyland...the WEDWay PeopleMover....now *THAT'S* the REAL Tomorrowland. Over at...

    3-25-06 MK Park Update

    Main Street vehicles usually run in the mornings with the trolleys, but if we have a (later) Spectro (9pm or so), and we have time between Flag Retreat and the night parade meetings, some of us will actually run the vehicles in the evening. As for opening the hood *onstage*, as a Main Street...

    For those who live within shouting distance of the kingdom.

    I can see Wishes one way from my place...see Illuminations the other way...and see the Pleasure Island fireworks to the east (when they had them). I can hear the train whistles...I can hear the race cars over at the Speedway (the BIG track for RPDE, not Tomorrowland...LOL), and a GOOD clear...

    Some of the coolest simple things to experience at WDW Theme Parks

    Raspberry or orange Dole Whips?? There's no such thing ;) The "raspberry" you're referring is probably the Strawberry Swirl over at Enchanted Grove, next to the Mad Tea Party in Fantasyland. The "orange" is more than likely the Citrus Swirl over at Sunshine Tree Terrace, at the exit to Tiki...

    Some of the coolest simple things to experience at WDW Theme Parks

    Dole Whips are found in only one location: Aloha Isle in Adventureland. It's almost right across from Swiss Family Treehouse and Bwana Bob;s merchandise cart, walking from Main Street into Adventureland. Another overlooked "gem": the Main Street vehicles. Guests *LOVE* when they can catch us...

    is being mickey the top job??

    Did you know that that was what Walt originally wanted the Tiki Room to be? Marc Davis talked him out of it, because he (Davis) suggested that guests would not leave the restaurant because they couldn't eat and watch the show at the same time; he figured that guests would stay after eating in...

    What was planned to go into Adventureland instead of PotC? Lee? Corrus?

    Wow. That pic of "pre-'73" Mk got me to thinking, and I found my answer - and again, I came up with it on Widen Your World: <table border="0" cellpadding="3" width="556"> <tbody><tr><td colspan="3" align="center" height="50" valign="bottom">The Original Frontierland Railroad Station 1972 -...

    Tinkerbell

    So much for character integrity, and keeping this "secret" magic. Thanks for ruining it for us REAL Cast Members who aspire to keep Walt's vision of *magic* alive. :mad::mad::brick::brick: A friend of mine just put it so eloquently. Some Cast Members just don't deserve an ID. I mean...I...

    Tinkerbell

    Nope, DL's will not be coming to WDW. Oh - and for all you so-called "Disney geeks": "Tinker Bell" is spelled just like that; two words, capital "T", capital "B".

    A good for every bad.

    Ummm...wow. That's...I don't know. I'm an engineer myself, along with conductor - and a conductor trainer. I really don't know what to say. If I have a guest ask to take a picture with me/us (as engineers), I'm more than happy to, unless we're just about ready to pull out - which I will...

    EE being vandalized before Grand Opening...

    And you wonder why there's a Web site called "StupidGuestTricks".com. This sickens me to no end as a Cast Member. A *brand-spankin'* new attraction, that ain't even *officially* open yet - and kids (or it *could* have been adults, who knows) - have already ruined the *FANTASTIC* detail in the...
