Like many people, I love to listen to music from WDW to lighten my mood and bring back memories of more magical times. More magical than sitting in front of my laptop, anway... There is some WDW park music available, but not alot of the atmosphere music. I would really like to get a hold of...

Skip It I went there with my wife ONCE. We were staying at Dixie Landings and took the boat from there to downtown disney, which was nice in itself, and I figured this would be a very romantic meal. The atmosphere was enjoyable enough, of course, but my wife ordered the Australian lobstaer...

Rented a House With members of my immediate family I rented a 6 bedroom "executive" style house (heated pool, hot tub, etc.) for 3 weeks from Dec 21, 2002 to Jan 11, 2003 and it cost less than $3500. We were minutes away from WDW and enjoyed a private, yet luxurious setting. Obviously, a...

Thanks Erika! Animal Kingdom also has terrific restaurants. Tusker House is my favorite themed restaurant. But even more I love to go the Flame Tree Barbecue and eat behind it in the outdoor seating. They have gorgeous water garden back there, and if you sit in the right spot you're...

Many people also don't realize that there are hundreds of varieties of plants that have been transplanted onto the grounds that represent the native vegatation of the ecology being represented. These plants are constantly being replaced when they die because of climate differences between FLA...

The CD is called "Music from Disney's Animal Kingdom Park" and contains the background music heard in the entrance garden and around the Tree of Life. I bought mine at the Animal Kingdom, but I think it is available at other WDW shops and downtown disney. I don't believe it is available...

There is some truth to that, and more attractions- if well done- would only enhance the experience. From my perspective Animal Kingdom is a park to slow down and take in all the fine detail. To appreciate all the carefully chosen plant and animal life in one day is impossible. The...

In reading numerous posts I've got the sense that Animal Kingdom is generally not as well received as the other WDW theme parks. Am I alone in believing that it is a masterpiece of theming? Yes I wrote MASTERPIECE. I must have listened to the music from the Animal Kingdom CD hundreds of...

I frequently dream of Disney World, but like other posters the place I am at never looks like Disney, I just know it is. The dreams are always the same... I can't seem to get into the park!

Snooty As beautiful and posh as the Grand Floridian is I don't think it is rarified enough to have truly snooty people...

They weren't there in January of 2002. Maybe they removed them and people complained so they put them back. More likely they were probably rehabbing them.

Kilamanjaro Safari In addition to removing the rifles from Tom Sawyer, I seem to remember the Park Ranger at the end of Kilamanjaro Safaris holding an automatic rifle. Now they just wave a walkie-talkie at the captured poachers. Menacingly, of course...

Tom Sawyer gun I thought they removed the guns from the fort on Tom Sawyer Island months ago...

I agree I agree. American tourists are the WORST.

Disappointing seating All I remember from the time I had a meal with reserved seating for Fantasmic was that the reserved seating had a terrible view tucked away on the end of the amphitheatre. I resolved never to do that again...

I feel empathy coming on... a little anyway MKCustodial, Your explaining the situation to some extent explains the worst case behavior of Brazilian tour groups. Obviously, not all are loud and obnoxious, but those that are leave an indelible impression. But, the next time I'm trampled or...

Crowd control Basically, if you're park hopping- as many regulars do frequently- you've already paid admission (annual pass, etc.). If you're on the road travelling between parks that's less time that you spend in the park taking advantage of park facilities. I'm sure there's statistics in...

Two points Obviously, more monorails equals more fun. I'm for any plan that adds them. However, did you mean for the monorail to loop through the AK? I don't think they could do that. It would probably be too much real estate to loop around it. Perhaps the loop could be built through the...
