    Orlando area toll?

    Howdy folks! I’m driving back to WDW from Arkansas for a week starting Saturday and staying in All Star Music. I remember a toll booth/turnpike off of I75 somewhere before you get to Orlando. I haven’t dealt with paying a toll in about a decade. Do they take debit or credit cards now, or do I...

    PHOTO - Sounds Dangerous removed from park maps, replaced with ABC Sound Studio

    It just hasn't been the same since it was The Monster Sound Show with Chevy Chase and Martin Short back in the 90's. http://www.studioscentral.com/column/remember-when/monster-sound-show

    the Biggest Moments in Disney World

    Yes, this was a horrible idea. They should never cover up this beautiful icon, no matter the occasion. We only go every few years, and the one time we went during this period the 'cake' was only halfway assembled, and the rest of your view was graced by a big ugly crane. Can you imagine what...

    Looking for the least noisy on-site hotel

    Just curious, but does anyone know if the All Stars have such a clock radio? We stayed there a few years back (All Star Movies), and I don't remember anything like it. We are staying there again in Feb and it would be nice to have (I normally sleep with the noise of a box fan.:hammer:

    Any good deals for a shorter stay?

    My sister and myself have been going to Disney world every few years for over a decade now. We used to take our nephew, but he is now an adult and won't be going with us anymore. We typically go around the second week of February (before the resort rates go from lowest to highest), and usually...

    epcot wand....

    I started going to Epcot long before the wand appeared, but I kinda liked it. It was sparkly in the sun, and also looked cool after dark.

    Disney looking at using Nintendo DS systems as an interactive guide map?

    I think the reason most of us are hoping for that option is because we want to use the ones we own instead of having to rent another.

    Disney looking at using Nintendo DS systems as an interactive guide map?

    I had one of the original DS 'fatty' units, and I bought a DS Lite when they first came out. The DS game card slot is in the top of the unit, and DS games are about the size of a small flash card. In the bottom of the DS is the Game Boy Advance card slot (for playing any GBA game). It is larger...

    This site helped Universal make a sale!

    Eh, troll thread. A lot of people like both parks on this board, but heaven forbid folks on a Disney board favor the Disney parks. It's unfathomable! Good trollin', though. :wave:

    Disney please update Star Tours!

    I was just there this last week and rode it again. This time the film looked really clean..I couldn't see any junk flashing by on it like a couple of years ago. I wonder if they did anything to tidy it up (regular maintenance?) or if it was just a different screen or something. Didn't look too...

    Disney please update Star Tours!

    The special effects used in Star Tours were done the old fashioned way - optically (like the original trilogy), not CG. Back in '87 ILM weren't using computer graphics like they are now. They used actual models and pyrotechnic effects integrated with blue screen. These special effects had to...

    Disney please update Star Tours!

    I'm sure they have discussed it with Lucas, and they are probably waiting on him to do anything with it. I'd be happy with just a cleaned up film, but they'll probably base a major rehab on the new prequels if they do anything at all.

    2006 Operating hours

    I am going to be there staying at All Star Movies and going to the parks from Feb 6-9 (next week woohoo!), and I notice that in addition to mentioning that Extra Hours is for resort guests, it also states some jibberjabber about the new 'Magic Your Way' tickets being required. Is that the...

    POP Century and the 'net

    In that link it says: Resorts with HSIA: All Star Movies Resort - expected by 12/6/05 So can anyone confirm it at All Star Movies at this point? I'm going a week from now. Did it get done? I assume you have to bring the LAN cable if so, since I wouldn't presume to be able to get wireless...

    Checks?

    I'm not sure how they handle checks. I figure most people just use their check cards at WDW. Is this the case?

    scary rides

    That would be scary and messy. :lol: :wave: For me, I'm scared of heights and/or dropping. I haven't gone on Space Mountain since I was younger (and don't really remember it), mainly because I'm afraid of coasters and being on one in the dark. I truthfully think it probably wouldn't be that...
