So, I just wanted to speculate a little bit about the "Fantasyland Rule." Must ALL Fantasyland attractions only draw their theming from a palate of characters completely owned by Disney? I was going to say created by, but of course then why would Pooh be there. And, perhaps, must they have...

Score Here's my only reservation: The score was originally supposed to be written my Alan Manken, not Randy Newman. I believe the success of the animation renaissance was not so much the 2-D art form (which I do prefer because the characters move much better), but the music within them. The...

Capacities: Parking Here's my tidbit: Although it seems exact capacities are not known for the parks for full staffed days (to us at least)...I think the best clue we have is the size of the parking lots. If you look at them on Google Earth, EPCOT's is the biggest, with MK as a close second...

When I went a few years back, all of us pretended to pick out noses coming down splash mountain. The cast member in the photo shop afterward thought it was hilarious; it was something she had never seen before. They actually kept it up for the day.

On New Year's eve 2002 I was down with my Marching Band, and it started to thunder and lightning. For some reason, the band parents tried to round us up so we could leave (but why! Disney is still fun in the rain!) However, two groups of students did not hear the announcement, and were still...

Don't worry, I found it really hillarious...I was just afraid how some might act on this site...being huge Disney fans and all.

Did anyone see the Saturday Night Live skit tonight that attacked Disney? They chastised the Song of The South, communism, Disney World, the cyrogenic-freezing of Walt, and Disney's past corporate issues under Eisener's administration. Thoughts?

Anyone get the Howard Hughes reference? Practical Joke 101

I hope this goes well, but I'm a little skeptical about how the theatre audience might take this show. First of all I have credentials: I was on Broadway a few years ago and am currently majoring in Musical Theatre (I know you guys get snippy when people talk about things they don't know much...

Just speculation, but if they are keeping those cranes up...and there is a big Media event for the official opening of Expedition Everest very soon...could they serve to aid that press event? To hold large banners? To unveil the next 'big thing' for Disney World?

Well, although Disney is not mentioned here, consider that the Travel Channel does provide many hour and two-hour long specials devoted solely to the Disney parks and resorts. And I think Walt would have hated his parks to be considered 'amusement parks'

You know, that E-Ticket would have really been useful this year, with the celebration and the recent record attendance levels... P.S. That grass is blindingly green.

First of all, thank you all very much. Primary sources are key. Second, I wanted to assure "landauh" that both sides of my argument are equally represented in my paper, and that I make a misleading point in my previous message that started this post. What I meant was, "Don't worry, I'm...

Alright, I have to ask this question: <O:p Why Disney? More specifically, why Disney Theme Parks? What is your inherent interest, and why then have you joined this online community? <O:p</O:p <O:p While I realize this question may carry the sentiment of a "Thank you Captain Obvious" response...

It seems they've been running these two specials for the last few months, but I haven't seen one about the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, or MGM, only Animal Kingdom, Imagineering, and the 'Behind the Scenes' Special. Has anyone seen the ever elusive specials on the first three parks?

Well, I guess someone was just trying to use a sense of humor...

Don't you just love the use of alliteration?

The Grand Floridian is just a little more expensive than any of the other delux hotels...It also strikes me more of a vacation resort than the Swan and Dolphin, which I think appeal to a more business orientated audience.

Ok, I understand what you're saying. They'll only hire equity performers for 6 months at a time. It makes sense from a business point of view, however it would have been nice to make some money in the park over the summer!

Question: I'm a musical theatre performer with my equity card, but I'm still in college. I was wondering what the likelihood for getting summer work would be if I were to audition at their NYC open call. I heard that they prefer 6 month contracts, but do they offer students real summer...
