    Disney World Buses Go Green

    Biofuels? I may be mistaken, and someone with more direct insight may be able to provide more information, but I noted earlier in the year that the trains in WDW were converting to biodiesel, with significant savings in terms of fuel costs and large numbers in reduced emissions. If I'm not...

    Oh My! BIG NEWS!!

    Patience Well, I must admit, the admins have shown a lot more patience than I would have. :lookaroun I would have already sent the young person packing simply for the butchering of the English language. If the age of 13 is correct, I have some serious issues with a teacher to discuss...:confused:

    Port Orleans R or FQ?

    Having stayed at both, my family and I preferred FQ. It seemed a bit more intimate, and had a closer feeling than RS. I definitely remember the long walks at RS. Also, there has always been some type of youth group staying near us when we've been to RS, and that has never happened at FQ...

    Free WiFi at the world

    No, no, didn't kill it, just made it interesting. Hmmmm, that would be some network to poke around in. Not that I would think about it my next trip down, after being asked to pay an exorbitant amount for broadband access in the Boardwalk... Of course, if $tarbuck$ and McDonald's can offer free...

    What have i done???

    Well, of course!!! That's why we booked the Beach Club for our trip in October, and plan on spending the entire first day at the pool! Unwind, relax, and hit the parks that night. You'll have a great time, as long as you... well, hakuna matata, I suppose.

    NSSHP and the Headless Horseman

    Does anyone know when the Headless Horseman rides at the Not-So-Scary Halloween Party? My DW says that there are 2 parades, and that she cannot find whether he rides at the first, or the second, or both. We know that he doesn't ride if there's any chance of rain, but our dining reservations may...

    How Often

    I live in TN, 10 hours away, and we will be making our 4th trip this year in October. We drive overnight since we have 4 kids, and they sleep on the way. According to the WDW reservation line, this will be our 16th trip since 1998. We've been averaging 2-3 trips per year over the past couple of...

    Western Way Open To WDW?

    More than the Castle If you look carefully, when you come over the long rise heading towards WDW, you can see, all at once, the Castle, Space Mountain, the Contemporary, SSE, the water tower at MGM, the Swan and Dolphin (I think), the Tree of Life, and I believe Expedition Everest. My children...

    Anyone know a Disney cast member in IT dept?

    Hmmmm, good luck. I've been in IT since the 80's and have applied for many of the IT jobs that have been posted online. I have the experience and meet the requirements, including the desired qualifications, and have only had 2 responses, both of which said, "Thanks, but we've chosen someone...

    hubby or family?

    My wife and I just got back. We left the kids here (all 4 of them), and after 15 trips in the past 7 years, we finally got one by ourselves. It definitely wasn't long enough, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. You need the time away. Go for it.

    Boardwalk - How's the Pizza?

    Pizza, mmmm, good We were there in May and had pizza from the takeout window one evening. Very heavy on the cheese, much better than the pizza at other food courts. Mind, that's not saying that it's great, only that it's better. The toppings were limited in choice, if I can remember correctly...

    Help! AKL or Beach Club???

    Hmm, decisions, decisions.... With our 4 kids, the DW and I have stayed at both. The 2 boys preferred the AKL, while all of the girls preferred BC. However, if it tells you anything, we just booked a Halloween trip last week and it's at.... the Beach Club. Something about the combination of the...

    Jobs @ Disney

    Add-on questions I was perusing the board and noticed this question. I just applied for a Learning and Development Consultant position through the Web site with the Disney College Program, but wonder if there is more that can/should/needs to be done as well. Disney recently revamped their job...

    Important people visiting Disney....

    Mr. Jordan should not have had to duck. IIRC, he's 6'6" or 6'7". I'm 6'8", and have never HAD to duck on BTMRR... although I still feel like I need to from time to time. :rolleyes: Oh, yeah, forgot Michelle Kwan, David Robinson, Takeo Spikes, and Karl Malone during the ESPN weekend back in...

    How Often

    Since 1998, we've taken the family a total of 14 times, from 700 miles away, after expanding from 2 kids to 4 total. And trip #15 is less than 4 weeks away. You gotta love a job that sends you to seminars in Orlando...

    Line Cutting

    I have noticed it at Soarin' more than any other attraction. I have 4 kids, so the last time we were there, we spread across the entire line and didn't have too much trouble with people trying to push by. It could also have something to do with me being 6'8" and 275 lbs. and standing slightly...

    Is Staying on Property Worth It?

    May will be the 14th time since 1998 for my family, and we have pretty much decided that we will never stay off-property. All of the benefits have already been listed, but it's the joy of arriving for vacation, parking the car, and not using it again until vacation is over that brings the smile...
