It was 1972, and was the first of our annual trips to Florida. It all started by accident...my grandparents were already in Florida, and lost the keys to their car. My dad decided that he'd hand-deliver the keys, and might as well take the family as well. I was only 2 at the time, and the...

I really can't see skipping Epcot...even with kids. I've always enjoyed it, right from opening (age 12) to now. As for kids, my daughter's favourite ride in all of WDW is Test Track, and has been since she was 3. Future World has always been exciting for her...any ride is fun for a kid that...

While I wouldn't worry too much about the bankruptcy in the timeframe you suggested, if they do go down completely, you would be 100% out of luck. Other carriers won't honour the tickets (they didn't get paid), and you are well down the list of creditors (who fight to get 10% on the dollar)...

I ONLY go to WDW in September, and have been for twenty years now. I recall Labour Day 1986 very well...it was so quiet. I can't remember how many times I went around the Magic Kingdom, and was able to hit my favourite attraction, the Haunted Mansion, 22 times (yes, it was excessive, but I was...

In regards to Outsourcing..."Go for it!!!" I will be more than happy to start up a "Fungineering" (thanks, Futurama) company, hire the best talent from WDI and do things with less overhead. Can it be done? Yep, I've been convincing clients to outsource non-core functions for a decade now...

You know, I wrote a whole piece on why Gate 5 wasn't going to happen...then I deleted it...this thread is "2010...Imagine a Gate 5". Kudos to the people suggesting "Star Wars" with different planets as "lands" or even the stepped-theme of "Lord of the Rings". That's using the...

Not only is this attention to detail, but just good business sense in HK. An office building that the geomancers saw "wolves in the marble" was deemed cursed, and nobody moved in. The marble was stripped, and geomancers were brought in to clean the place of spirits. Afterwards, the building...

The materials and specifications for facilities to resist something as powerful as 200+ mph winds would be very cost-prohibitive. Not to say that it isn't possible, but unlikely. In addition, the natural scenery or "street furniture" simply wouldn't last, and would, in fact, become projectiles...

You said "little girls", right? Well, don't forget about the Princess character breakfast at the Norway pavillion. My friends just took their daughters and loved it. In that way, they get up close to the princesses, and are in prime location for many of the attractions. I saw pictures of...

Living Seas incident In my travels, I've heard some amazingly funny things...my favourite however, happened at The Living Seas. A mother and son (approx. 8 yrs old) were looking into the aquarium and spotted a diver. The son asked "Is he real?"...wait for it...the mother replied "Honey, this...
