    Weirdest thing to happen to you in the parks.

    Yes, it was indeed Dean, and he was the nicest, kindest CM. We got a chance to chat before the parade and he told us some stories about picking the guests, and what guests have done to try to get picked. He even mentioned that he had thought about writing a book about it when he retired, so I...

    Weirdest thing to happen to you in the parks.

    Maybe not weird. but certainly surreal.....Many years ago my wife and I were picked to be Grand Marshals of the 3:00 parade. Totally random encounter that led to it....and definitely the most amazing experience I have ever had at WDW...

    News Buzzy’s been stolen?

    You're absolutely correct. I intended to say that was before Youtube gets its cut. I sort of forgot that part :)

    News Buzzy’s been stolen?

    Sadly people won't stop watching. But I'm sure this isn't about making money for him. It's about the attention. I used a calculator I found that estimates payments per video views and even his most popular video (ironically not a WDW one) only generates $261. So he's not getting rich on...

    News Buzzy’s been stolen?

    I guess that's the thing that's bothering me most about guys like Matt Sonswa. It's bad enough to trespass onto "abandoned" (actually just closed to the public) areas of WDW, but he's escalated to going into active, open areas of the theme parks. Granted they may be closed for the night, but...

    Tutto Italia Ristorante

    Keep checking back. It's totally worth the effort. We stumbled upon this place due to not being able to get in anywhere else one night. Walked in, got seated, and had an amazing meal. Great staff as well. We highly recommend it.

    SOARIN (different versions)

    I found myself somewhat disappointed in the updated version when I saw it last year. I thought the music wasn't as stirring as the original, and I felt the new show felt like it had been enhanced with CGI. I walked out wishing that they had kept more of the feel of the original to be honest...

    Sonny Eclipse Ascending

    Ha. I just noticed in the first pic there's just this one cord plugged into an outlet nearby. Sonny runs his whole show on one plug... :rolleyes:

    Ever see someone get busted at Disney?

    Many years ago on a large family trip my niece saw two boys shoplift some hats from a kiosk at Fantasmic after the show. She told us, we told her to tell the CM and give a description of the boys. The CM radioed someone about it, and about three minutes later another CM appeared with the...

    A Spirited Valentine ...

    Welcome back, Spirit. Nice to see some new info, despite the fact that most of it depresses me...:rolleyes:

    POLL: Favorite Disney Parks Song

    While I was tempted to go with Grim Grinning Ghosts, I had to select Area Music. Some of my favorite pieces are the Tomorrowland and Living Seas Area Music. Always takes me back to those places. But I have to admit that GGG is probably my favorite ride music.

    Epcot's "Off Kilter" Released Three New Music Videos!

    Very very cool. I was in the "super upset" crowd when they were cut from Epcot. I had been a fan of theirs for years and have all their CD's. I participated in their kickstarter for the newest release they put out. I have to say that I think they blossomed quite nicely and seem to be doing...

    NEED HELP FINDING A SHIRT!

    My last trip down to the Mouse House was late September and I was able to find some nice Disney polo shirts in 3XL on Main Street.. I really wear a 2XLT but I agree that tall sizes seem to be something they don't carry. I did have to ask a CM about having larger sizes in the back. He checked...

    AKL vs YC

    I'll chime in with AKL as well. If a "no parks" plan is in order, then the relative remote feel of AKL helps and you really cannot beat the theming. The pools are great and the restaurants there are top notch. Plus they do offer some nice programs and activities for kids.

    WDW is canceling Jan. 31st reservations at CRT to hold event for more $

    Interesting side note. I wandered through the thread on this on "the other site" and someone mentioned that this new event was for 10 or so guests. The DPB announcement for this indicated that each dinner would be for "no more than 60" guests. There was no reason given by the poster on that...

    POR or CSR?

    Lots of people have a preference to one or the other of these resorts. Personally I have stayed at CSR once and POR twice. We absolutely loved POR, stayed in Alligator Bayous, and cannot wait to stay there again. My one visit to CSR was less than great. Not bad, but not awesome. I didn't...

    Are Disney cruises justifiable?

    I can sum up DCL like this: My girlfriend cruised out of Port Canaveral for years when she lived there. When we booked our first DCL trip she was skeptical of the cost considering what she had paid on other lines. I had done DCL before and assured her it was worth it. I didn't go into a lot...

    Favorite Resort Restaurant

    Jiko is amazing, as is Boma. California Grill is excellent as well. If I had to pick just one I think I would go with Jiko. Go early and explore AKL. The resort is simply breathtaking.
