I do believe it was Song of the South,


how do you handle planning a trip and other family or friends may want to go also, while all along you really want to go with your immediate fammily.?

[PoohsFan1]

I just don't bring them for the trip that I am planning for and then plan another trip that would include them.


What is the one thing that gets overhyped on these boards that you tried that you later said was not worth it?

[sexyravenfan]

Turkey legs.


What are 3 countries you would like to see added to World Showcase?

[PoohsFan1]

1) Belgium
2) Switzerland
3) Turkey

If you had all the money in the world, what would be your ideal Disney vacation?

[PoohsFan1]

bumping because it got to page 2 of the thread.

[TinkerbellinLouisian]

1) Belgium
2) Switzerland
3) Turkey

If you had all the money in the world, what would be your ideal Disney vacation?

WOW ! That's a tough one! I would start at the cheapest Value Resort...begin my trip there....and work through EVERY RESORT until I had stayed at each one and tried restaurants/pools/experiences (like piano bar guy at Port Orleans) at each one. I would end my trip of course at Grand Floridian.

I would mix in visits to the parks between Resort/Pool days and (again) try every restaurant and tour in every park.

Since money is 'no object' ...I'd invite each of you to join me... LOL!

Then I would run for President (and since I brought you to WDW you would vote for me) and win...then I would work on the "World Peace" project and make sure no one ever went hungry.

Okay - I'm tired now... Night NIght!

OH! My Question !

QUESTION: WHICH LAND at Epcot's World Showcase is YOUR Favorite and WHY !???

Hugs,
Mary

[BenA81]

QUESTION: WHICH LAND at Epcot's World Showcase is YOUR Favorite and WHY !???

My favorite country at WS is China. I went to Epcot with just my Grandma in 2002 and we had a wonderful lunch at Nine Dragons. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes, I loved going to WDW with her. She passed away in 2007.

Will you be making a trip to California just to see World of Color?

[Clare Voince]

Will you be making a trip to California just to see World of Color?

No. Although it looks very cool.

What is the best thing you ever bought at Disney?

[BenA81]

Mickey Mouse baseball player bobblehead that I have on my work desk. Whenever I pound my fist in frustration he starts nodding his head and helps me get into a better mood.

What is the longest you have spent at one park?

[PoohsFan1]

When we were there in March we spent an entire day in MK, and I mean an entire day. We were there at RD and didn't leave until park closing which was at 3am. We were so exhausted but we had a blast doing it :banana:.


What is your favorite Disney resort and why?

[PoohsFan1]

bump

[RhodyJim]

What is your favorite Disney resort and why?

I most prefer POR and the most honest answer is that it was the first one I stayed at on property and holds a lot of magic for that reason. But, I should say that I love the transition upriver from Magnolia Bend to Alligator Bayou. The landscaping is amazing and the river runs through the resort, not on the edge.

TNP, What is your favorite "quiet spot" in all of WDW?

[PoohsFan1]

I love going to Tom Sawyer's Island and just sitting in one of the rocking chairs (preferrably the one that is facing BTMRR) and just listen to the sounds of BTMRR go by or even just the park being alive. TSI is such a relaxing place to just sit and let your mind wonder.

What is your top 5 must dos whenever you are in Disney?

[skiingfast]

1. Eat a Mickey Icecream Bar.

4. Make a CM laugh.
5. Ride all the mountains in the parks.

Of all the times I have been to WDW, I am still DYING to meet Belle :goodvibes

If you could buy only one souvenir next time you visit disney, what would it be?

[TPG]

Of all the times I have been to WDW, I am still DYING to meet Belle :goodvibes

If you could buy only one souvenir next time you visit disney, what would it be?

Lotso. Tore apart every single theme park store looking for him. But no luck! I know I can get him at an offsite Disney Store, but I want to get him in the parks.

What is your favorite thing to do thats not in the parks?

[skiingfast]

What is your favorite thing to do thats not in the parks?

Eat at one of the monorial resorts for dinner or lunch on a day I'm at MK. It's nice to wander a bit in a hotel I'm not staying in and find this an easy way to get out and about.

Which All Star resort do you find the most preferable?

[PoohsFan1]

ASMovies....even though we have never stayed here, we have visited it. I have always said if we ever stayed at a Value, that is the place I would stay at :goodvibes

What is your favorite CS restaurant in all of Disney?

[RhodyJim]

What is your favorite CS restaurant in all of Disney?


I love Pinocchio Village Haus. The food is fine, but I take a seat by the window to IASW and wave to everyone as they go by. I actually really like to have a Mickey stuffed animal wave to them (Pal Mickey was good for this). It's fun to watch the kids smile and wave, or the parents try to get the kids' attention to see what is going on.

TNP, it's you last night at WDW...what are you doing?

[skiingfast]

TNP, it's you last night at WDW...what are you doing?

Either walking around World Shocase taking in the views. But if MK has EMH I'm trying to get in a few extra laps on the mountains until the park closes.

What view would you want at the CR?

[TinkerbellinLouisian]

Hello Skiingfast!

What view would you want at the CR?

[TinkerbellinLouisian]

What view would you want at the CR?

HM... How did I miss that?

Well - I have yet to stay at CR ( I suppose you mean Contemporary Resort as opposed to Coronado Resort). DS and I ate at Cali Grill May 10th 2010...so I did get to visit and see the great views from the observation deck...so I suppose I would (of course) choose the view of the castle if it is available.

I hope to one day be able to say I've stayed at ALL resorts... however my next 2 on radar are WL and AKL...so no plans for CR In the foreseeable future.

QUESTION:

Ty Pennington shows up at your house... and will EITHER RE-DO your entire house... OR GIVE you a Disney trip every year for the rest of your life.

Your boss is on board with the promotion and will give you an 'extra' week to accomodate your Trip Prize....

WHICH DO YOU CHOOSE !????

Re-do the house! With the repairs that need to be made, if the house was re-done, we'd have the money for more trips. Besides, we already go once a year (at least!), anyway.

TNP: If you could ride any ride at any park, but could only ride that one ride for your entire trip, what would it be, and why?

[skiingfast]

TNP: If you could ride any ride at any park, but could only ride that one ride for your entire trip, what would it be, and why?

Probably the Kilimajaro Safaris, it long and the animals move around so it has it's constantly dynamic. But I wouldn't mind the Jungle Cruise so I could get to know each skippers speal and figure out some good followup jokes to theirs. In the end I will pick TSM at least that way I could try to hit all the easter eggs and get the high score.

TNP: What resort pool has not the best pool or slide but the best view of the area around the pool area?

[wdwfann]

:goodvibes The Grand Floridian Pool. You can see the boats on the water and the monorail zipping by it's awesome!!:love:


TNP: What is the best resort to stay at during Christmas time?

[PoohsFan1]

We were at Disney once for the holidays and we stayed at BC, which was great with the chocolate carousel and the smell of Ginger Bread as you walk into the lobby. The other resort that I loved to go visit was WL, it is just so festive there with the big Christmas tree in the middle of the lobby.

What is your favorite shop at DTD?

[skiingfast]

:goodvibes The Grand Floridian Pool. You can see the boats on the water and the monorail zipping by it's awesome!!:love:


TNP: What is the best resort to stay at during Christmas time?

WL It just fits in with Christmas the best. Warm fire and it is from a setting where pine trees exist.


TNP: Have you ever found a hidden mickey that you didn't know existed before hand?

[TinkerbellinLouisian]

Favorite Shop at DTD?

Love the Lego SHOP ! LOVE the "Dollar Store" ! LOVE the "Disney apparel" store... I think my favorite would be the Lego shop... I LOVED lego's as a child...and while I did not buy anything there.. it was like an attraction in and of itself ! FUN!

Hidden Mickey that I was not aware of?

YES! One time at WDW the family was "Extra Crazy" about Hidden Mickey's... we found a lot of them...and even though I had done a lot of research about them we found some (especially in the Solarium at BC) that we were not aware of. I though I found one in the water bubbles at "Finding Nemo" at AK...in May... but DS18 would now 'allow' those because he didn't beleive them to be "true" Hidden MIckey's.

QUESTION! ("courtesy of my DH")

"What is the BEST JOB at Disney !????"

Hugs,
Mary

[Birdman1511]

Great question.. I'd like to have Mickey Mouse's job;)...

jk:hippie:.. Its pretty much a tie, one is "behind the scenes" and one is "on the scene".. I think it'd be a lot of fun to be an imagineer.. to help create the magic at Disney and be part of a team that comes up with all the brilliant ideas for attractions, resorts, parks, restaurants, everything.. that would be so much fun. As for the other job, I'd definitely have to be in entertainment.. whether its being a character on set or in a parade or right down to the guy who hi-jacks the great movie ride, i think it would be so much fun to help entertain the guests:thumbsup2

Question:

Did you see Toy Story 3 today??

[skiingfast]

No, and I am upset about it. I live in a small town and the same person owns the three theaters. The advertising in our paper changes on Wednesday and they will print then what is coming on Friday. They made such a big deal about how much they were spending to upgrade a couple screens to show 3D films this winter. So what are they showing according to thier add? Shrek.

Tonight I checked their website because it shows what movies they have ordered. The website shows that TS3 is indeed playing today. I wish the paper would of shown this.

Anyway I wouldn't of seen it tonight anyway because I don't have my son. But will on Sunday so I have Father's Day plans to see it then.


TNP: Would you want a Disney job that is behind the scenes or one where you encounter park guests?

[PoohsFan1]

One where I can encounter Park Guests

If you could be any Disney character for the day, which would it be?

[skiingfast]

Funny I was talking to somone about the merits of being a face or fuzzy characterearlier today. I ultimately think I would like to talk to the guests a bit. If I was shorter probably Peter Pan.


TNP: Some people take annual disney trips, some take every trip to Disney, and some go once in a liftime. How is it for you? Why so?

[Ariel on Land]

Lately it's been every vacation has been to Disney (about once a year.) No real intention on annual trips- it's just worked out that way. In 2008, I needed a break from my 18 month old twins and time to spend alone w/ DH. In 2009, the military offer was so great that we had to take the boys. In 2010, DH's deployed and this was the only place we could think of that all FOUR of us would really enjoy spending a vacation after he returns. Who knows when or what our next reason will be! :goodvibes

TNP: If you could take any one person (not in your immediate family) to Disney, who would it be and why?

[PoohsFan1]

My Girlfriend and her family because they have never been able to go before, they never had the money to do it. They have two kids ages 9 and 7 and we would treat them like kings and queens for a week.

If you could bring 1 celebrity with you to Disney for a week who would it be and why?

[skiingfast]

Michael Isner so I could rip him about all his mistakes developing the world too fast.

TNP: Do you have any friends who are way into Disney?

[PoohsFan1]

Yes...just one. She is a DVC member and we have often said that we would go into business together, she would sell DVC and I would be a Disney planner.

How old were you when you took your first WDW vacation?

[dazednconfused]

I had just turned 35. This was in 2008. We live across the world (literally) from WDW, so it's a BIG trip for us. Loved it so much, we went back again in 2009. :goodvibes

How many days will you be spending at WDW during your next visit?

[DisDayz]

Eight. We always spend 7 nights, 8 days on our trips.


When is the last time you shed happy tears at WDW and why?

[skiingfast]

I don't think I have. Although I went the during the first summer of Epcot and may of cried then. I'd have to call my mom and verify. Though they wouldn't of been tears of joy when I was little so I guess I haven't.

Do you have a question?

[skiingfast]

Do you have a question?

Sorry.


What tour would you most like to take? Have you done a tour before?

[TinkerbellinLouisian]

Sorry.


What tour would you most like to take? Have you done a tour before?

I would LOVE to try the "Keys to the Kingdom Tour" at MK....

DS18 and I did the "Around the World at Epcot" Tour on May 14th... IT WAS INCREDIBLE !!!!

I would do it again. And again. And again !

I'll NEVER forget our little group...whipping by on our segways... the LAST part of the tour...back to where we started. People were entering the park...and treated us like we were 'officials' or something... one little girl observing us on our segways said "That's Not Fair!"... LOL

Next Question:

What Restaurant do you ALWAYS go back to at WDW? (Park, Resort, or wherever)...

Hugs,
Mary

[squirrel]

Next Question:

What Restaurant do you ALWAYS go back to at WDW? (Park, Resort, or wherever)...

Hugs,
Mary

I would have to say Chef Mickey's. Out of four trips so far I have been 3 times. We missed one year as we booked it for our check out day and we were running behind and missed our ADR. Tusker House is tied with Chef Mickey's as I have been there 3 times also. Twice for breakfast and then once for lunch.

Question: What are your top 3 rides without height requirments?

[PoohsFan1]

1) Pirates of the Carribean
2) Haunted Mansion
3) Spaceship Earth

What are your 3 favorite character meals?

[dazednconfused]

1) Crystal Palace
2) Cape May Cafe B'fast
3) O'hana B'fast

What's your favourite on-site resort at WDW?

[skiingfast]

What's your favourite on-site resort at WDW?

Probably the Poly I like the dining and the pool but I also like POFQ, it's small so I don't spend lots of time getting to the lobby or buses and it's close to DHS and Epcot. To be definite the Boardwalk because I love using the side entrance to Epcot and the entertainment on the boardwalk itself.

[squirrel]

What's your favourite on-site resort at WDW?

Since I have mostly stayed at values, I'd go with Pop. If I'm allowed to choose any resort that I'd like to stay at I'd go with either GF or BC.


What restaurant will you not go back to?

[skiingfast]

What restaurant will you not go back to?

Probably Restrauntosaurus, It was spure of the moment last time and I try to avoid pizza and burgers when I can. Nothing was wrong with it though.


What is the longest wait you have had?

[STEAMBOAT209]

longest wait was 75 minutes at Toy Story, this was when it first opened.


how do you handle members in your party always being late for meals or meeting up at planned locations.

[PoohsFan1]

That had only happened to us once and it was for a ride, we gave them ample amount of time to get there but when they failed to, we called them and told them that we were going in and we will meet up with them later. If someone was late for food, we would probably still make our ADR time and they could eat later...my family doesn't like to wait for anything when it comes to Disney :goodvibes.


What resort have you not stayed in but want to someday?

[mullii5]

What resort have you not stayed in but want to someday?

Polynesian!! We were going to stay there on our last trip but money talks...we got a pin code for free dining and switched to POR. Had a great time at POR but we WILL stay at the Poly on our next trip.

If money were no object, which resort would you chose to stay at for a week?

[skiingfast]

Probably the GF since it is the priciest. I would consider the POLY again I like the themeing and dining more.

Are you particular about the airline you fly to WDW? Do you book it as part of your passage?

[squirrel]

Are you particular about the airline you fly to WDW? Do you book it as part of your passage?

No, I go with the lowest priced one that has a red-eye flight to MCO. I don't think I can book it as part of the pkg as I'm Canadian, even though I fly out of a US airport.

What is your favorite Disney treat/snack?

[matt314hew]

What is your favorite Disney treat/snack?

Hmm.. this is a tough one, as I really don't get too many snacks in the park. But I will have to say Peanut Butter fudge from the Candy shop in Magic Kingdom.

What is the one ride you must ride when you go to Disney?

[leebee]

Spaceship Earth, although I liked it WAY better before they changed the ending. On the other hand, my BIL is a CM there (at SE) now, so it's always fun to go when he is working!

Do you have any relatives/friends who are CM's at WDW?

[squirrel]

Do you have any relatives/friends who are CM's at WDW?

No, that would be nice.

Do you buy a guide book each year you plan a trip to WDW?

[squirrel]

Sorry, I got a message the boards were down for maintanace and so I hit the back button and re-posted.

[skiingfast]

Do you buy a guide book each year you plan a trip to WDW?

No, I bought one at a used book store for one trip. They had two and I flipped through each and figured one was richer than the other. Got home read it and found it a complete waste. Ever the internet in 1997 had more information.

Do you book your trip through a TA(travel agent)?

[mullii5]

No, I bought one at a used book store for one trip. They had two and I flipped through each and figured one was richer than the other. Got home read it and found it a complete waste. Ever the internet in 1997 had more information.

Do you book your trip through a TA(travel agent)?

No way...to me, half the fun of a trip to WDW is the planning. But I do that with all of our trips...I just enjoy planning and looking for deals.


What is your favorite counter-service meal at any of the parks?

[PoohsFan1]

Actually have two and they are both at the MK....the first one is Pecos Bills, love the Taco Salads and Fixing bar. The second one is Columbia Harbor House (just started going here in March), love the seafood basket and the upstairs dining area, so peaceful and quiet.

What is your favorite alcoholic beverage in all of WDW?

[kristina87]

The margaritas in Mexico in Epcot, SO good!!

What is the best character signature you've ever snagged?

[skiingfast]

I've never got one. I don't want to carry the book and rarely ever take a bag unless I expect rain.


What is your first park memory?

[squirrel]

What is your first park memory?

My first trip was a one park (DL) trip with a youth group. We rushed around trying to go on rides in about 5 hours. The nun that was in charge of our group, won a special ticket and got to spin the wheel-I think she won a pin.


What special thing happened on your last Disney trip?

[kristina87]

Well my last trip was my very first and staying at the GF for 8 days was awesome in itself, but I really loved eating at CRT in the window seat that looks out over the carousel. kinda dorky but being my first time there it was really special to me

What character greeting do you think they should do away with?

[MollyMcDaniel]

Hmmm....my daughter is 6 and she was clueless at AK when we were standing in line for Terk....(or is it Turk??? see, I don't even know!) Is that a Jungle Book character?

Thought it was meant to be that I answer your question...we are neighbors.

Here's my question:

Why do the monorail cars always smell like urine?

No, seriously....If money were no object, what resort and which type of room would you choose?

[kristina87]

haha how nice that we're neighbors!! i just moved here about 3 weeks ago actually!

I dont know why they always smell like urine but you're right!!

and i think terk might be from tarzan? i'd be clueless too when i met him (her?) haha!


What is the best Disney souvenir you have?

[squirrel]

What is the best Disney souvenir you have?

That's a hard one. I really like the Magic Kingdom Event Party CD, but I might have to go with my Animal Kingdom hat-I still have it after almost 11 years. Does it count if I bought it at the Disney Outlet Mall (in Orlando)?


What animal would you like to see in the next Disney movie?

[kristina87]

Haha sure it counts!

I'd like to see some mystical creatures, unicorns and all that, i think it'd be fun to see what they do with them.

What celebrity voiced the best character in a disney movie?

[Ariel on Land]

Oh that's easy- Robin Williams as the Genie!

Regardless of your physical attributes, which character would YOU want to be in the parks?

[kristina87]

I'd LOVE to be Belle if I could, I also think it would be fun to be Nala if she were a character! and any villain

What character would you NEVER want to be?

[skiingfast]

Lotso, IF you see TS3 you'll know why.

TNP: How do you decide when to book your trip?

[PoohsFan1]

Mostly when my DH gives me the o.k. to, but sometimes it is just me suggesting and showing the great deals that is going on at the time.

What is your favorite memory that you have at WDW?

[njprincess601]

the Wishes cruise that we took last month.

when is your favorite time to go to Disney?

[kristina87]

I've only been once (in May) and it was fine but I'd love to go during christmas time! but basically anytime :)

What is the one thing you buy every time you go to the Magic Kingdom?

[squee!! disney!!]

We will always buy a souvenir bucket of popcorn and a bottle of coke in Liberty Square. It's become a tradition in our family.. :)

If you could add a service/perk to the parks what would it be?

[PoohsFan1]

To be able to get into the park 2 hours earlier than everyone else....and I would do it too :thumbsup2

What do you like to get at the Main Street Bakery?

[skiingfast]

To be able to get into the park 2 hours earlier than everyone else....and I would do it too :thumbsup2

What do you like to get at the Main Street Bakery?

If it is breakfast then easily the hams and egg croisant to much on as I walk to an attraction. If just grabbing a snack then I'd like a rocky road brownie.

Are you more likely to goto DLR or WDW?

[Ariel on Land]

WDW- DH goes for the food!

Do you wear an ear hat in the parks? If so, what kind?

[squee!! disney!!]

WDW.

Favorite moment in Disney History. (movie coming out, park/attraction opening..etc, etc.)

[squirrel]

I do not wear Ear Hats in the park. I don't even own one. I hope that they sell the Santa Ear Hat in October when I go, as I have wanted one for a while now.

Favorite Disney moment would be my niece loosing her tooth a few minutes before Wishes started.

Do you collect a Disney item each year? What is it?

[PoohsFan1]

Yes I do....I have to get a Disney ornament from the Christmas shop from DTD each time I am there. The funny thing is, I collect more than one ornament each time :goodvibes

In what months have you gone to Disney?

[Hmbldr]

January, February, April, September, October, December.


Crowds aside...what would be your favorite month the visit WDW?

[webster76]

I think I would visit WDW any month. I've been in June, July , August and Sept. Really like September, but would love to try Oct or Nov.

Would you go to WDW solo? :upsidedow

[matt314hew]

I think I would visit WDW any month. I've been in June, July , August and Sept. Really like September, but would love to try Oct or Nov.

Would you go to WDW solo? :upsidedow

I don't think I would go without my wife.

What is the one character you must get a picture with each time you are there?

[kristina87]

well i went for the first time in may and got a picture with every character available on those days (plus filled up 2 autograph books!!) so i'd say every character! but Belle would probably be the best, and peter pan and wendy because i liked them the best :)


What is your favorite autograph?

[squirrel]

What is your favorite autograph?

I don't think I have any autographs. I plan to get some this year to make a quilt with.

What is your favorite Disney park? (includes all over the world-not just WDW) Why?

[ilovejsparrow]

I haven't been fortunate enough to visit any Disney park other than WDW yet, so I would have to pick Epcot as my favorite. I love the pace, the rides, and exploring the countries!

Speaking of the countries, which World Showcase country is your favorite to explore?

[skiingfast]

Hard to say, I like the Zen garden in Japan, The stores in Germany and Octoberfest are a lot of fun. But Probably Mexico because I really like the look of the interior. The plaza with the resturaunt and the night scence with the volcanos.

How many modes of transportation have you used getting to WDW and inside WDW in a single trip?

[PoohsFan1]

Getting to WDW was 2 (car and plane), in WDW was all forms of transportation.

If you fly, what is your favorite airline carrier?

[kristina87]

american airline or air tran have always been the best

what is the next country you think they should add to Epcot?

[skiingfast]

Brasil, because so many people at the parks speak Portugese, more than Spanish. I never knew this until I learned to speak some Portugese but the monorial message should not be in Spanish. Maybe an amazon river ride could fit in it or something about surfing.


TNP: What are the quietest areas you find at Disney?

[kristina87]

Tom Sawyer Island, inside some of the shops, benches around World Showcase, just depends

Which movie do you think they should make a new attraction for?

[squirrel]

Which movie do you think they should make a new attraction for?

Well there is the idea of the doors with Monster Inc. which is good, but since they have the laugh floor I will pick a different movie. I think the movie Bolt could have a new attraction. I'd really like to see a Bug's Land in AK-like the one in DCA.

If you could choose a new food to be served at WDW what would it be?

[skiingfast]

I have little idea. I think somewhere they serve everything that is good. The only things that I don't see them serving is things like Bear of Whale but I wouldn't want either of those. I do like 7up though.

TNP: How many characters have you met? Are you still hoping to meet any?

[hogwartsdropout]

I've lost count of how many I've met. I still need to meet Marie from Aristocats but she's never been out when I've been there.


Which park has the best music?

[PoohsFan1]

I love the music from Epcot especially in the WS with all of the different countries.

[kristina87]

What is the best experience you've ever had with a cast member?

[skiingfast]

I lost my wallet on RnRC. I talked to a CM who was a lead on the loading platfrom for quite a while as the rest of the line went through when it was closing. He gave me the low down on the college program. But what was way better is I went to a fast food place later that night near CM housing and ate with two girls who were roomates. Having been prepared by the first guy on his take on being a CP I asked the girls more in general about life while a CP.


What did you think the first time you heard or decided you were going to a Disney park?

[STEAMBOAT209]

I thought it was so far away it would never get here. The days were slow to pass and just the opposite once it arrived.


Do you plan on visiting DTD and if so, what is your favorits to do when there.

[PoohsFan1]

Yes, we never miss it. We never miss....Pin Traders, WoD, the Christmas Shop, the toy store, and Trend D.

In the clouds at the end of splash behind the paddle boat. I haven't found it. I'm not sure if it is in the DL or MK version or both. But I'll keep looking.

How far are you from, DLR, TDL, DLP, and WDW?

[PoohsFan1]

Not sure of the exact distance for each of these but we live in a Suburb of Chicago so from Illinois to WDW we are about a 20+ hour drive or a 2 1/2 hour flight, from DLR we are about a 5-6 hour flight, and I have no idea about DLP or TDL :confused3

Yes I think they should have Australia and India.


Do you prefer the original Tiki Room?

[Hmbldr]

Original. Beautiful.


What's the most overated attraction?

[cuddleworthy]

Soarin'!!!! For sure!

If you could have any CM job, what would it be?

[Glendamax]

If I could have any CM Job, it would be as a tour guide on the Key to the Kingdom Tour.

If you could talk to a Disney Park Exec, what would you suggest they need to do to improve the parks?

[skiingfast]

If you could talk to a Disney Park Exec, what would you suggest they need to do to improve the parks?

Staggs would get an earful about how crappy WDW is kept up. I'd march him through DL and then take him to Florida and ask him if knows that Home Depot sellls paint and light bulbs?


TNP: Do you eat three full meals while at the park? Do you eat snacks?

[jlk806]

TNP: Do you eat three full meals while at the park? Do you eat snacks?[/QUOTE]

3 full meals a day?? No way could never eat that much we usually use a snack credit for breakfast like a bagel or something or and then a cs lunch and TS dinner or TS lunch and CS dinner - could never eat 3 full meals esp. in the Florida heat!!


What no-longer-there attraction do you miss the most? (at any of the parks)

[PoohsFan1]

The Skyway from MK....that was always my all time favorite ride, I wish they would bring them back.

What is your favorite snack in WDW?

[kristina87]

anything salty, Caseys hot dog or popcorn

What is the longest amount of time you've seen it go without rain on vacation?

[PIRATEGIRL007]

We went 6 days begining of September 09, it was raining when we arrived, quit as we walked to bus to get to MK in the afternoon (woohoo everything was walk on!) it didn't rain the rest of our trip, but as we pulled out to leave for home it sprinkled in Orlando and poured down the whole next day (SIL and family stayed longer than we did).

May we made it 7 days too, arrived Friday night didn't rain till next friday night around 10pm at DTD, then Sat afternoon at both Epcot and MK for a few hours. It rained at other parks (based on what I heard on my wdw chat app on my phone) but we managed to miss it everyday. It was great, we seemed to have the best luck all week with weather.


What's the longest Disney hiatus you have experienced as an adult?

[skiingfast]

From 22 to 30. Wow it seems big thinking about it I had a lot of other things going on then though.

TNP.... What is the last magical moment you remember experiencing in the parks?

[PoohsFan1]

I've had many of them, but my favorite (most recent) was when we were there in March. It was our last full day and it had rained all day. There were evening EMH at MK so we were there until 3am. As we were leaving the park (at closing) there was no one on Main Street and the way the lights from the buildings reflected off of the wet ground was so gorgeous. We got a picture of our family in ponchos with huge smiles on our faces (mind you it was 3am too), facing Main Street having the times of our lives.

When is your next trip to WDW?

[jlk806]

Aug 29-Sept 7 and not a moment too soon!!!


What is your favorite country pavilion in the World Showcase?

[bellebookworm9]

I really like the UK pavilion. Germany is also pretty cool.

What is your favorite store on Disney property?

[skiingfast]

Probably World of Disney, It usually has a good trinket to take home as gifts. I really like a place called Imaginears in DCA but it is going out soon. It had more crafty type toys.


TNP: When you start getting the itch to go back who do you tell first?

[bellebookworm9]

My mom, as she is generally my traveling buddy.

Have you ever stayed offsite in a vacation home? Would you recommend it?

[Amanda_the_awesome]

I have never done that. We prefer to stay on site and not have to leave the magic. We also like that we don't have to drive at all when we are vacationing.

Have you ever been on a tour at any of the parks? If so would you recommend it and why?

[jusero]

I have never done that. We prefer to stay on site and not have to leave the magic. We also like that we don't have to drive at all when we are vacationing.

Have you ever been on a tour at any of the parks? If so would you recommend it and why?

I did the Keys to the Kingdom tour at the Magic Kingdom and another one at Epcot. I would definitely recommend the Keys tour. I loved both of them, but found the Keys tour to be very fascinating, informative and you get to go behind the scenes as well as down into the tunnels. But it's not for little ones and (as is everything at the World) is a lot of walking.

But you will also LOVE the special pins you get with each tour.

Q: My DH collects napkins with logos on them. What weird or odd thing do you collect (Disney or non-Disney)?

[skiingfast]

Aren't the napkins mostly the same, what condidtion do they make it home in.

I have a bunch of baseball cards still. And some rocks. And a bunch of golfballs.


TNP: What if any Disney art do you have in your home?

[JPGonzales]

My Disney art is my WDW magnet collection on the fridge!

What is you MUST DO on you first Disney Day?

[skiingfast]

I don't really have a must do on the first day. But I could say get up early for Rope Drop.


TNP....Do you have any Disney clothing or Jewelry?

[PoohsFan1]

I have both, whenever I am in WDW I have to buy at least one T-shirt and I love to get the Mickey ears earings or necklaces (the cheap ones, not the expensive kind).

What is the one shop you have to go into every time you are at the World?

[hogwartsdropout]

Emporium :)


Do you like Casey's Corner?

[skiingfast]

Casey's Corner is not bad. I try it now and the. Usually not for myself because I don't care for hotdogs very often.

TNP.... Is the flight to WDW the easiest on your mind that you could make?

[PIRATEGIRL007]

I love flying and the flight to WDW is my get in Disney gear time. DH and I usually reminisce about past trips and what we want to do when we land. I love it and the time flies. :laughing:


Have you ever drove to WDW? How far was it and how long did it take?

[littleangie]

both times i've have gone we drove. we are from the northern tip of Kentucky (across the Rvier from Cincinnati) the drove if we did it all in one day is about 16 hours non stop. But we break it up between 2-3 days and take our time.

IF you could relive one moment in your life that was at Disney, what would it be?

[skiingfast]

IF you could relive one moment in your life that was at Disney, what would it be?

Getting to the top of the waterfall on Splash of course.


TNP....If you stayed offsite where and why?

[kristina87]

I've never stayed offsite and probably never would, I wouldn't want to drive and the Disney resorts are so awesome

Do you collect anything from the disney parks besides pins?

[PIRATEGIRL007]

I collect purses too. Carry them all the time. Funny I used to 'collect' designer bags in years past, that has all shifted to Disney bags only.

Have you ever taken a Wishes or Illuminations cruise?

[TinkerbellinLouisian]

YES! Last trip, on May 14th 2010, (our last night) DS18 and I shared an Illuminations cruise with 2 other families that we met on Disboards...

Illuminations is my FAVORITE "Fireworks" (although I hesitate to call any of them that)... and it's my tradition to End the entire Disney week with Illuminations. It just makes you feel SO GOOD !

It was a surprise for DS18, and this was his Graduation Celebration. We had a GREAT time! The families we met were Awesome folks and one of the ladies had taken charge of ordering Graduation Decorations, and a lovely Cake!

Best seat I've ever had for Illuminations! I want to do this again...with JUST DH and I.

Next Question:

When people ask you "Why are you such a Disney Fanatic" What do you tell them?

Hugs,
Mary

[webster76]

I just tell them what an incredibly happy place it is... my little get-a-way, whether with the family or by myself. I can truly forget all the "stuff "going on back home and relax ( which is why I go!)



Does it really matter where you stay (resort) when at WDW?:upsidedow

[JPGonzales]

I don't think so....

We tried all the different value resorts, and both the coronado and caribean. I think my favorite resort was All Star Sports. Maybe it was because of the wonderful staff and we had a great room close to food and pool.

Which is your favorite park at night?

[skiingfast]

At night Epcot. The World Showcase is many times better lit up. But seriously Disneyland, it is incredible at night. The way it is lit up I like nothing better than riding BTMRR or Matterhorn and seeing the warmly lit park below.


TNP..... Have you ever witnessed the Kiss Goodnight at MK?

[PIRATEGIRL007]

Nope, it was on the agenda for this trip but couldn't make it that late.

Have you ever made it to a RD opening show?

[littleangie]

yes. On our last dayof our trip we were determined to make it to MK rope drop.

If you could have one ride opened to just you and your family for 1 hour, which would it be?

[let'sgo]

Toy Story Mania, or maybe Soarin

Do you visit a water park on your visit?

[skiingfast]

No, Haven't had enough time for a flex type day in a long time.

TNP......Do you ever swim in your resort pool?

[PoohsFan1]

Yes we do, it is one of our favorite things to do in Disney. We always take a break from the parks and the kids go in the pool while my DH and I have a nice adult drink while watching them go down the waterslide.

What is your favorite adult drink in Disney?

[skiingfast]

What is your favorite adult drink in Disney?

I couldn't think of the names without checking a menu. But I did enjoy some long islands.


TNP..... Name 3 rides that are better at Disneyland than there WDW version.

[PoohsFan1]

Can't really answer this question since I have never been to DLR, but from what I have read and heard about definitely HM during Halloween/Christmast....would love to see NBC at our WDW's HM.

What is your favorite Country/food from the F&W Festival?

[skiingfast]

I haven't gone to F&W but have heard of some great things. They had a coke machine at the one in DCA and I would of liked to try some flavors you can't get in America.
