    Complimentary WiFi Internet access pilot extended to more resorts

    Another thing to think of is international guests...... WDW receives a large portion of international guests. Without Wi Fi or internet connection, its cost prohibitive to go online. Last October, I was at WDW and tried to stay off the net on my Iphone, but still had a £300 ($450) data...

    Question about DLP Castle

    But look at the trees surrounding the Paris Castle also. They are cut and styled exactly as in the movie Sleeping Beauty. All the orignal concept art work for the castle is done in exactly the same style as Sleeping Beauty.

    New Star Tours Video

    Apparently it would cost a lot of money!! George Lucas is quoted as saying any upgrade would also have to include upgrading the projection system and film to digital to increase the resoultion and quality. A good move, but I read somewhere that it would push the price in excess of 100 million...

    Harry Potter interest from abroad.....

    I understand that the rummor is that Disney is in talks with J. K. Rowling to get the theme park rights? While I agree that this may be good for the parks such as MGM and the studios in Paris, my only worry is the actual look/theming of the attractions and characters. While the books have...

    So what's up with the muppets?

    I read that when The Walt Disney Company aquired the rights to the Muppets, after years of trying, the first plan was to test the waters with the Wizard of Oz TV Movie. That was considered a flop, especialy after the ammount of advertising it was given. After much discussion, the exec's...

    TDS TOT Storyline

    That will make me so happy if it is! I love the Twilight Zone theme, the music gives me goose bumps everytime I hear it since riding the two US versions. How does that fit in with the themeing of the park though? With it being a "working" studio, without the themed areas such as Sunset Blvd...

    TDS TOT Storyline

    I read the ToT for DSP was to be themed around 1920, not 1930. This was so it matches with the theming of the Studio section it will be built in. Also that the theme will be again a movie production. This means that the story will be based on the building being a film set from the 1920's, with...

    DLP Spash/WRE Question

    Without wanting to put the park down, Tot has to be bottom of the list. It is a fantastic attraction, one of my altime favourites. But...... a) its a clone, so its nothing new. b) Because they havent themed the studio area's like WDW I hear the ride story is not going to incorperate the Twilight...

    DLP Spash/WRE Question

    Sorry, that should of said "needed"! I love DLP, the themeing and attention to detail is what makes it so special. While I get excited about any expansion to the studios, I just hope its more in line with the themeing at WDW, Hollywood that every one dreamed of, as opposed to the cold back lot...

    DLP Spash/WRE Question

    Thanks again Jrriddle!! On one hand you made me really happy with that link, on the other..... Wow that sounded a fantastic twist on the ToT. The toon town theming is just what the studios needs to bring in a little escape from reality.

    DLP Spash/WRE Question

    Now thats an attraction!! Thanks for the link. Why oh Why can't they build that! All I hope is that ToT at the studios is simillar to the WDW version, not the DCA clone. The one at DCA has none of the lateral "5th Dimension" section. When I asked why I was told it was due to ride problem, but...

    Disneyland Paris - Just Got Back

    I have read twice on here today that DLP is on 4800 acres. Is this all the land, or just the land within the circular ring? I just seem to remember early artwork and advertising around 1991/92 that showed a projected EPCOT style park aswell as MGM Europe. I was pretty sure that the land that was...

    DLP Spash/WRE Question

    Guys, im really sorry to sound dumb, but whats Geyser Mountain? Is it a flume ride simillar to Grizzley Rapids @ DCA? If so,and if it was cloned to the same standards, without watering it down as they seem to these days, it would be a good addition to the park! I was at DCA this year, and that...
