    Just wanted to say thanks to our United Kingdom friends

    True but having said that the majority did/still support the war. A million people protested (50+ million didnt). As usual the silent majority.

    We live in a democratic country. If you dont agrea with the government you vote against them - not blow up a plane.

    What The Next Disney Atracttion?

    Actually although they call it the UK pavillion they also seem to mention the "British Isles" to try and include Ireland - for instance they sell Harp and Guinness in the Rose and Crown. Rather than add new countries I really think they need rides or shows added to the likes of the UK and...

    Will there EVER be a 5th park at WDW?

    I think it could depend on what else crops up around Orlando - They noticed a lot of people at Wet N Wild - so they built Typhoon Lagoon They noticed a lot of people at Pirates golf - so they built there own

    Which countries do most visitors come from?

    That is true - the dollar has been good value for a little while now and will have pushed UK numbers up. That said I can remember loads of UK visitors when I first visited 16 years ago. Would have thought the USA (and Florida in particular) was the about the third most visited holiday...

    Are Touring Plans really beneficial?

    I think tour plans are a good idea in theory but not taken too literally. I for one dont enjoy running between rides and missing out on little things in the park. That said it makes sense to make some sort of priorities list of what you want to do in an a geographically or time sensible order...

    Earl of Sandwich - chain?

    Is the "Earl of Sandwich" a chain in the U.S.? The way they sell t-shirts I thought it might be a British chain but I am sure its not either.

    Which countries do most visitors come from?

    Just on a sidenote on the number of British and accents. I overheard a kid telling his parents he had just been speaking to some "Australians". The people in fact where from Northern England not Australia. I have heard this a number of times and I think through the media/TV etc. people get used...

    Which countries do most visitors come from?

    Have noticed that Disney often quiz park guests where they are from for advertising purposes etc. Has a list ever been posted as to where most people come from? At a guess listening to accents, looking at t-shirts I would guess the following top 5 - 1 - USA 2 - UK 3 - Canada 4 - Japan 5 -...

    Fun places to go in Pleasure Island?

    Have been to Pleasure Island 3 times in a space of 15 years. For me it seems to go more and more downhill... Went to the comedy club and just didnt find the whole thing as funny as it used to be. Maybe its the current "cast". Adventures Club is really well themed and if you havent been...

    Another Water Park Question.....

    Adding to that I am correct in saying (in theory) you arent allowed to bring your own alcohol in either?

    Another Water Park Question.....

    You can bring your own food and drink into the waterparks - I believe they say up to one cooler per family. When in the water most people just leave their stuff on the sun beds - pretty trusting I guess but its that sort of place. I think people notice who's bed is who's and would say something...

    Typhoon Lagoon - songs...

    Just wondered if their was a list of the songs played at TL - you know that endless loop of surf/beach related songs...? Can remember the theme from "The Endless Summer" and "Surfin bird" but wondered if someone had made a list (cant think why!)

    Florida vs. Paris Rock 'N' Roller Coaster

    It was over a year ago now but I cant remember any great differences to be honest - certainly nothing like how much better Space Mountain is in Paris..

    Some Blizzard Beach questions!

    Maybe been a Brit helps me.. Loads wear board shorts and in fact they sell them in BB and TL also.. I noticed in Orlando airport they had a restaurant called "The Outback" which even had Tooheys on draft...
