    Does anyone remember Donald looking this way?

    I remeber on my 1996 trip that donald at WDW looked...strange. This is not me, btw, but the only image of the "strange" Donald I could find. Why the change? And why the change back?

    Animatronics

    The original Journey into Imagination was a beautiful ride. There was this paper carosel that was amazing. Tons of effects. What's funny is that my first visit was Oct 82, the month the park opened and the JII ride wasnt open yet. But all the Imagine Works games and stuff was open, so we did...

    Animatronics

    It's funny, when walking into Wonders of Life for the first time, I was blown away by the size of it! It was massive. I was thinking it was going to be this little, throw away tent with a motion ride in it. I was wrong, thats for sure. I do think that it is important for Parks to have...

    Animatronics

    What's funny, is that whenever I watch the Horizons ride/any Disney ride on YouTube, it just pales in comparison. The attractions are built in 3 dimensions, as are all of the animatronics, and are meant to be seen in person. It simply does not work in 2D. You have to experience the ride to...

    Animatronics

    May have to modify this list after next weeks trip, but this is how I stand right now: 1) My all time favorite animatronic was S.I.R., hands down. (Alien Encounter) When his eyes turned into "stars" i was floored. Just awesome. 2) Easily the most complex would be Epcot's American Adventure...

    Housekeepers still pose toys in hotel rooms?

    Here's one for you guys: Do you know if the housekeepers at the resorts still pose kids toys in the windows/beds? When the kids get back from resorts they see a fun scene in the main window of your room. We had fun with this last time we went in 2007, can you give me an update? Thanks!

    Turning in Mining Certificate at Town Hall

    My daughter and I played the Mining "games" at the 7 Dwarves Mine Train Web site and we got to print out our "mining certificate". The site said you can redeem your cirtificate for something at Town Hall, Main Street at Magic Kingdom. Has anyone done this? What do you get? Thanks again, we...

    Help me identify these Epcot robots?

    I have to assume (cant see pics) that you are talking about the terrific Epbots. I saw them in 1996 as well, they were just great. Loved the constant sound effects. From a former thread, here is the definitive link on them: http://www.thedroidz.com/page3.html

    How Long is the new Seven Dwarves Mine Cart Coaster

    Hi, just curious if anyone knows if this is like "Goofy's Barnstormer" or more along the lines of "Splash Mountain" I really hope it is the latter. I have no problems if the "coaster" part of this was just the end and most of the ride was inside the mine. (Yes, I know there is a ride thru...
