A lady in the seats behind me on the monorail was telling her group what EPCOT means. She said it stands for “Environmental, uh... People, uh... well I’m not sure of the rest, but I think it’s something about the environment.” :brick:

Thanks for the info. I didn't know the bands weren't playing at the West End Stage. No fireworks and a bar/bowling alley instead of the R&R Beach Club! What's this world coming to? :hammer: :brick: :hurl: :lol:

I think I read the Pleasure Island Jazz Company was closed and a restaurant opened in its place. Say it ain't so! :( If so, how has that worked out? Is PI - with the Adventurers Club and Comedy Warehouse - a lot of fun? Do they still do the fireworks at midnight? Is the City Walk at...

Back to the point If it became too crowded in the "off-season," that would stop me from going back to Disney. I guess the company would be very successful and able to pick up trash and have less deaths on the rides, etc., but I still wouldn't like it. :wave: :lol:

Sounds great! I can't wait to read the rest of the story. :D

Last year I wanted to be a WDW bus driver like Invero. (Is he still around here?) Now I'm thinking I may put in my application to sell ice cream at Epcot one or two days a week. But the quality control idea of testing the rides and the resorts also sounds pretty good! :lol:

Here's a recent news story about Disney's Celebration Co. "negotiating to sell the downtown core." I wonder what this means and whether this is a positive or a negative for the future of Celebration.

Great enthusiasm for your topic. Slight problem with the facts: it doesn't matter whether you push the button or not. :lol: There's also a fourth "responsibility." But I'm pursuaded. :sohappy: Maybe you might want to time how long it takes to tell it out loud and then add some more reasons in...

I'm only 296 behind. :lol: But I can't prove I rode it 4 times. How can Kenneth prove he rode it 300 times? :animwink:

It'll be on Saturday. :lol:

The Walt Disney Company's stock has gained over 50% since last March: http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/charts/charting.asp?Symbol=dis What to do now? Buy, sell, or hold? I like their long-term prospects, but I've stayed away from owning this company. They may be in disarray right now...

Re: Re: Re: Should disney really change thier rides to not scare kids? I could be wrong, but I think ladydancer did understand what you wrote. It seems you want to be scared and feel fear ("excitement") when you experience an attraction at WDW. But you may not want to feel those emotions on...

But you'd be bringing back useful data. There have been perhaps one or two third-person accounts of someone being denied a refill of their refillable mugs in WDW. If you could show your old mugs to Cast Members and report back here whether or not you were denied a packet, that would be something...

I thought it was great. Some of the different types of launches, as I remember, are those white parallel synchronized streamers from the sides. I watched the show from in front of the Crystal Palace, and I saw the fireworks going off to the left of the castle from my vantage point. From where...

I think I read it was 1.5 G's. Real astronauts have said it is not very much different from the real thing. I'm glad I'm not one of the people who get sick on it. It was fun! The first time was the best. As I wrote on another thread, please follow the instructions. It's not rocket science...

Where will they be posted? I know I could look here and the mousesavers newsletter is coming out tomorrow, but does anyone know where they are posted first? Is it disneyworld.com? :)

At Cap'n Jack's last month I was asked (since I was alone) if I wanted to sit at the bar/counter area. They have a special name for it there but I cannot remember what they call it. I immediately said, no thanks, I'd like your best table with a view of the lake, please. :cool: This was the...

On Wednesday, October 22, the Carousel of Progress broke down during the show. The seating area did not revolve as it was supposed to so we saw most of the first segment twice and missed most of the second. Finally we were escorted out.

I went on the "ride" four times with senior citizens and also children. Afterwards, I saw nothing but smiles and heard nothing but excited (somewhat relieved) laughter. I feel sorry for Disney, since most of the time I walked on and there was no one waiting in line. They spent millions and...

I'm wondering about the music. Does anyone know if there will be music played from speakers hidden in bushes along the walkways? Will it be "themed" to correspond to the 50's, 60's, etc.? :lookaroun
