The Centorium at EPCOT was a much better store than Mousegears. It had 2 levels and a better variety of merchandise.

Make sure you let the restaurants know you're on your honeymoon. One place brought out a special chocolate Mickey for dessert and another brought us some free souvenir glasses. Not all places did something but we had alot of fun. Hopefully things are still the same - ours was in 1997.

That's the BEST trip report I've ever seen! Great Pictures - even better captions!

We made the trip 5 years ago with a 3 day cruise followed by 3 days in the parks staying at the Wilderness Lodge. We were living in North Carolina at the time and made yearly trips to the World. It was our first Disney Cruise. Don't get me wrong - we love the Parks but it was somehwat of a...

The burgers are very good at the Sci-Fi. They're not listed on the dinner menu but if you ask the server they can bring you one anyway. Has an excellent atmosphere and makes a great photo sitting in your car.

The last time I looked, there was a flag in front of the Grand Floridian that had the large D with the globe and mickey ears.

Try asking again when you check in. The worst that can happen is that nothing changes. We had asked for a water view at the Boardwalk and was told none were available when we made the reservations. We asked again when we arrived and sure enough we were able to get a water view. Things can change...

I was at the Disney studios this AM for the beginning of Star Wars Weekends. For those of you there last year, it was a little different. The Fastpass machines for an autograph are now the ones outside of Star Tours. This made it very confusing for folks trying to get to the gift shop for...

At first , the only place to get them was Once Upon a Toy. Now they're everywhere. i saw them at MGM at the registers at the main gift shop just 2 days ago. I wish they weren't so expensive. Five dollars for three figures?! They are pretty cool though.

Try to do things that you might not do normally with a group. One example is "Turtle Talk with Crush" at the Living Seas. You might think that it's just a show for kids but it is definitely worth catching. I think the adults get a bigger kick out of it than the kids. Going by yourself is a...

The system is in place so that no one else but you can use the admission ticket. It has been in use for annual passholders to make the ticket nontransferable to anyone else. Now that all tickets use this , you will likely be unable to use someone else's hopper ticket if they have already used...

Here's how it went last year : The Millionaire Star Wars edition were the first two shows of the day only. It then became the regular show for the rest of the day. The guests this year are listed on Disney's site. Notables are Daniel Logan, Peter Mayhew, Jerome Blake and Warwick Davis...

I saw them at Downtown Disney about 1 1/2 weeks ago. FYI - The Disney At Home store is now closed. That was my favorite store at Downtown Disney. I talked to a CM who worked there just before it closed and they said that most of the merchandise will be relocated to other stores like World of Disney.

I have the ones for Spaceship Earth and Journey Into Imagination. These videos are very well done and have a lot of "extras" like audio and video. Once you buy one you are entered into the club and can then get future videos with a member discount. The problem is there are so many it can get...

We bought the meal plan back in 1998 for the three of us on a trip. I forgot the exact cost but it turned out that each of us had 50 dollars a day to spend on food. That meant 3 sit down meals a day and we still couldn't spend the 50 each. Way too much food. We weren't hungry for 2 out of the 3...

I was at Space Mountain in the standby line and asked the CM how he determined how many people in the standby line to go through. He told us the ratio at the time was 15 fastpass to 5 standby. It probably changes according to ride and crowds.

Old Key West since 1998

I happen to like Phil Sears' site. He has some neat stuff and is very friendly to deal with. His site: www.phil-sears.com

My wife was a CM and helped open up a brand new Disney store in 1996. We were at a mall yesterday and walked into a Waldenbooks which had taken over a Disney store site. The carpet and wall colors were still intact. Even the structure for plush mountain in the back was still there. Very sad to...

I've seen it twice now. Once in the back row and once in the front row. If you can swing the extra bucks the front row is awesome.
