    Easter Attendance

    I was there last Sunday and Monday and both days were very busy, right up to closing. But from the number of teens I think a lot of schools started Spring Break early. (also a cheerleader competition added to the mob effect) You might get lucky the week after Spring Break. If you see a...

    Soarin Fastpass

    Tough to call. Last Sunday they didn't quite run out that I saw, but at 12ish, (with a 10 am park opening) they were allready at a 2:45 return. TOT and Screamin' were just as bad. And it only gets thicker from here.

    I've been to DL more times than I can count, and I am always able to find something new

    Flag retreat ceremony?

    I saw it today (Sunday, 28 Jan.) and it was very moving. As a veteren, I am rather biased on such matters, but it should put a good dose of American pride in anyone who watches or takes part. The time depends on when the sun sets, so it will vary with the time of year, but it went off around...

    Shortest trip report ever (but link to photos)

    Went to DL to break in our new AP's from Dec. 17th to the 19th. Had a great time. not too bad crowdwise. Stayed at the Anaheim Plaza Inn. (close enough to walk. bad view out the window, but good, clean, reasonable) Here is the link to some pics I took: Monkey Vision

    Walt Disney World Website Question

    It took a while, but they finaly got back to me on it. Saddly it is much as I had thought: "Thank you for contacting the Walt Disney World Resort. The music on our current disneyworld.com website is an original composition written especially for the Walt Disney Company, and thus it is...

    Walt Disney World Website Question

    That's rather new. I think it must be something for the 'year of a million dreams' promotion. But I agree, it is impressive. (one thing I noticed, if anyone out there is not hearing it, you have to select the high bandwith site option at the top of the page.) I went ahead and used the...

    Favorite Disney Slogan

    Sorry, I also love the "started by a mouse" quote, but I think the most important part of the message is in the first part of the phrase, which is rarely listed. " If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse."

    Favorite Disney Slogan

    I have 2 favorite Waltisms that kind of qualify as slogans: "Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world." And: "You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the world, but it requires people to...

    Resturants by USH

    Maroni's Sausage is almost ontop of the park entrance and does a good breakfast, plus I remember a coffee & pastry cart within sight of the turnstyles outside.

    Best dessert item

    My favorite desserts from our trip were both at Hollywood & Vine, #1 is the snickers cheesecake and #2 is the chocolate mousse cups. Both were absolutely delicious and very rich!

    Mission Space

    Mission Space is still one of the safest places on the planet. More movie stars have passed away sitting on the toilet than tourist's have expired on Mission Space. Mission Space did not kill them. They died from pre-existing medical conditions. Although thier deaths were tragic, they were...

    Could you be totally spontaneous at Disney?

    We planned for about 150 days. Pouring over guide books, online trip reports, google earth images, and about 80 messages on these boards before leaving. Oh and the pod casts. 'Mustn't forget the podcasts. Our 6 day trip to WDW was better planned than Desert Storm. And just like most plans...

    mission space phobia

    Hey, the spinning is not for everyone. My wife and I rode the green side to test the waters first and it is just like Star Tours. In fack a bit tamer than ST as you have the shoulder bar holding you snugly in place. There really is no way you could get on the wrong version, unless you...

    How do you pronounce "que" ?

    They say the many dialects of Arabic are the toughest languages to learn. Unless you are Arab, then it's American English. On the whole on line / in line issue, I always though that if you were standing behind the person in front of you, that would be in line, and if you were side by side...

    when will the love bugs be gone?

    A pair of them tried to migrate to California as we left. They were hanging onto the outside of the window of the airliner all through the taxi, and about 1/2 way down the runway before they finaly lost hold. I was kind of rooting for them, in that 'gotta love the underdog' sort of way...

    Mission Space

    It is nowhere near as bad as all the hype would have you believe. Not to belittle anyone's bad experiences, but I think that unless you are truely prone to motion sickness at the drop of a hat, you will not suffer any ill affects. There are no negitive g feelings, or feeings of true...

    Mission Space

    I completely agree. I am very afraid of heights, so roller-coaster with long straight drops are not on my menu, but I loved Mission Space, and rode it 4 times on our trip. The first ride was on the green side, just because of all the warning signs, but then it was orange all the way. My wife...

    Would you still go?

    From the point of view of an ex-serviceman, I may be able to shed a little light on his reasons for wanting to postpone this trip. I was in the Army for the years leading up to and through the first Gulf War. I traveled all over the world in numerious deployments in one of the busiest divisions...
