    The Whole Security Thing At Disney

    A few years ago we were chatting with a favourite cast member at the Barber Shop in MK who knew we were Canadian and said she loved ice wine. The following trip we brought a bottle of ice wine with us and we were able to bring a bottle of wine through MK security without so much as a glance...

    Best way to get from DHS to EPCOT?

    Unless it is super hot or super freezing, I would definitely vote for the walk. However, the path is at points not super well lit, and does go under a roadway which makes a bit of a dark part, so if anyone in your group is nervous of walking a slightly dark path at night, then I would avoid it...

    Pop Century pools

    Hippy Dippy Pool by the 60's and main building Bowling Pin pool by the 50s Computer Pool by the 80s. I have been in them in January and they were heated. I doubt they are heated now since they wouldn't need to be in July. I live near Toronto Canada and my pool is 85 without heating, so I...

    If YOU were in Disney right now, what would YOU be doing?

    6:17pm - Probably, having had an early dinner, on one of the Disney buses riding back from the hotel to whatever park we're headed to for the night. Unless it's one of our rare visits to the Beach Club, in which case probably walking into Epcot via the International Gateway and taking in the...

    Whats that big green glow we see watching Wishes outside of the park?

    Man, if only the Kingdom Keepers could just buy her some Tums or Rolaids, I'd make a much shorter book series...

    Garden Grill

    We have done every character meal at Disney, and would put this one at the bottom. I didn't find the character interaction any better than Pooh, Chef Mickey, etc and the food was pretty blah. We had a table on the outside facing the overlook on the Living with the Land boat ride, and I actually...

    It has a mobile version too, so you can have it with you on your trip. Better than the times guides they hand out in the parks....

    Just made reservations! Boardwalk question...

    When the Luna pool itself was closed, they bused people to Stormalong Bay, but I dont think they are doing that for just the slide refurb. The page on WDWMagic regarding the pool closure last fall mentioned the use of Stormalong, but the same page for the slide closure does not mention it at...

    Park Music for Eternity: Which would you choose?

    As much as I love so much of the MK music, I think I could listen to nothing but the EPCOT Entrance Loop and An Evening At Epcot on D-______ radio and I would be just fine....probably throw on each at least once a week... Edit: Apparently I can't say D - C O T Radio, despite Mouseworld Radio...

    Cinderella Castle looks bigger than it really is

    Its all about Forced Perspective. As the castle gets taller, the windows get smaller width-wise and taller, which makes the eye perceive it as taller. The buildings on Main St. USA do it too, although to a much more limited extent. It is part of why the trees that used to fill the hub got cut...

    Ohana booked...what to do?

    We had a kid-free trip last summer for 3 days, and went to Ohana on my birthday. We didn't get a reservation online when we were booking, but I checked online every day or two, and eventually called dining again, and was able to get a reservation that didn't even show up online. I assume they...

    Celebrities at WDW...

    This is totally an aside, but my wife met Carrie Underwood last week in a grocery store. Her husband, Ottawa Senator's Mike Fischer, is from our hometown (Peterborough, Ontario, Canada), and they were visiting. I just think its weirder meeting a celeb in the produce aisle than WDW, but just me.

    Searching for the location

    They used to have a temporary home just down from where Toy Story Mania is, which is I think why people have a tough time remembering where they are, as they have moved. As said, they are now in the Streets of America. If you are coming from the main part of the park, walk between MuppetVision...

    MSEP Extended

    Must say, I was surprisingly underwhelmed by MSEP a couple weeks back. The floats were good, but the music does get old after a while (it just repeats and repeats...like Small World only with synthesizers...) My kids were less interested in it than in Spectro (ironic considering they've seen...

    Tinkerbell Meet & Greet

    Was just at MK last week, and spent the mid-afternoon thunderstorm in line meeting Tinkerbell and friends and the Princesses in their same old spot in Toontown Hall of Fame. Only big character location changes I saw were Pooh and Friends were in Town Square beside City Hall, and Ariel and...

    Low crowd trends? Is this true?

    I have been at WDW since the 5th, and I can tell you the crowds are not light. We have come every July for the past few years (although usually a week or two later than this) and the parks are as busy as I have seen them on any of our trips (except when we came during Christmas Break). I don't...

    Pal Mickey?

    I took our last July, and he still works, but he doesn't know about any of the new rides, and doesn't seem to talk as much as he did about park stuff. He tells more jokes than he ever does about ride information. He also doesn't seem to know about when the parades and fireworks anymore. I...

    Anyone ever fly to Orlando just to go to Disney for a day?

    My wife, two daughters and I spent 9 days at Disney last July, and then we left them with friends and flew back 6 days later for 2 1/2 days with just the two of us for our 10 year wedding anniversary. And we live about an hour north of Toronto Canada....do I win?

    Need Help Garden Grill vs. Le Cellier

    I would choose Le Cellier any time over Garden Grill. The food at Garden Grill was acceptable, but as character dinners go, I would rate it the lowest of the ones we have done (which is almost all of them...). I actually did find the slow movement in a circle strangely nausiating as well...
