OK, I'll add my two cents. I am a long-time WDW veteran but visited DLR for two 4-5 day trips in recent years. Here are some of the major distinctions: The Locals The DLR locals are frequent and passionate visitors, and they know what they are doing (unlike most of the guests at WDW). They...

This is exactly what happened with us. I posted the e-mail for everyone else's info, but I do not own a smartphone and didn't get the e-mail until I checked it that evening. We had to ask a cast member at Splash about what to do, and he pulled up a screen on the FP+ kiosk listing out all of...

This exact thing happened to us during our trip in early December, when Splash was down during our FP+ reservation. There was no need to schedule a different FP+ experience or time - we simply walked right up to Big Thunder's FP queue and used the bands replacement/wild card FP+. The FP+...

We were at the Studios today, and Disney also added a second showing of Fantasmic! at 8:00.

Agreed. Luke's performance was so over-the-top and obnoxious, it's hilarious. We still quote him. My personal favorite is his discussion on the merits of Everest: "And it's in Asia, which is SWEET!!" :lol: I mean, Asia is cool and all, but really? :shrug:

Hahaha - I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of that first! :wave: "Of course I shouldn't tell you this but she advocates dirty books." -Gossiping woman "Dirty books?" -the Music Man "Chaucer....Rabelais.....BALZAC!" -Gossiping Women

Just an anecdote that I think applies to this situation: When my family and I first visited Disneyland back in 2007, we chose to stay in the Disneyland Hotel because it was Disney-owned and operated and was next to the monorail stop. We planned on taking the monorail to and from the parks...

I only saw two trains when I was there a couple weeks ago (orange-red with blue windows, and blue with purple windows). Do they have more than two trains? I do have to say that I love the Disneyland monorails - both their design and experience, though it's obviously a ride and not a...

Glad to hear someone had the same idea :lol: Pops: Hey, how you guys fixing to pay? Kermit: What are our choices? Pops: A) cash, B) credit card, C) sneak out in the middle of the night. Fozzie: We'll take "C." Pops: Very popular choice.

How bout this? http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/The_Happiness_Hotel

Hear hear! Love those purple pants!

Something that could potentially make the bus slightly more fun and would cost next to nothing: theme each bus individually to some Disney property - ride, film, character, etc. It doesn't have to be anything over-the-top or expensive, just something simple. Not a huge paint overlay on the...

Hey, me too! :wave: The "Celebration" segment of Illuminations ROE definitely makes for a good ringtone. Glad to see someone agrees.

My understanding is that most skyway systems were taken out of theme parks/amusement parks/zoos/etc. all over the country following several safety incidents. The most famous is probably the one at Six Flags St. Louis, where one of the gondola cars fell off the cable and three people were...

Me too! I loved it as a kid. I just don't want it in Frontierland :) I love your idea for the riverboat dinner cruise though. It would be an amazing restaurant experience, especially with a jazz band playing. And it wouldn't destroy the ride - just enhance it. Heck, it could even just be...

Exactly! I agree with Martin on this one. Losing the kinetics of the riverboat here would be a big loss. I don't usually like to get involved in WDW vs. DL debates, but when I first visited Disneyland a few years back, I was blown away by how active and amazing the Rivers of America was...

It depends how you look at it I guess. :shrug: Thousands of photos is definitely overkill if all you're looking to do is capture some snapshots of your family in front of some park icon so that you can show your friends (and then look back on it years later and laugh about people's funny...

For those of you who can't find someone to take them (or are too shy to give them to a stranger), I suggest leaving them on top of a fastpass machine instead of throwing them out. I found unused fastpasses for Space Mountain on top of a fastpass machine for BTMR that someone else had left, and...

On my last trip (8 nights in June 2010), I took 7,891 photos. That number doesn't include the photos taken by other members of my family. In August 2008 (7 nights), I only took 2,149 photos. In June 2006 (also 7 nights) I took 2,227 photos. And on my 4 day trip to Disneyland in July 2007...

Ha. My family once got two free character T-shirts on the MK Gay Day. It was unseasonably cool and we had gotten caught in a torrential downpour, so my parents decided to buy new T-shirts at the Emporium. My brother and I were already dry, so we didn't want new shirts. Apparently, the CM...
