Does anyone know of any good books about Walt Disney and his vision for Disney World. Or any other books that would be a good read on how the ideas for disney world came about. Thanks, JT

This is correct. During our Keys Tour last week, our guide showed us their system and told us that each tardiness equals 1 pt. After 3 points, you are terminated. Disney doesn't do tardiness. He also told us if any cast member is caught taking any kind of photos "behind-the-scenes", that they...

We encountered our first "undercover" security guy 2 weeks ago. We were trying to get into Magic Kingdom early to get to the Keys of the Kingdom tour (using non-expiring tix from 1997 that wouldn't scan) and right before the park opened, 5-10 security guards came out dressed in their SECURITY...

Many imagineers have left hidden messages on rides as a way to tell people that they were the creators of the ride....Listen closely for "go FSU" right before going up the tall hill on Splash Mountain, and the 3rd Headhunter in Jungle Cruise shouts "I Love Disco!"

There were still walls/tarps on all of the locations listed above this past weekend....The tarps are printed to look similar to the front facades of the buildings.

Besides being a great part of the ride, the waterfall on Jungle Cruise serves an important purpose. They pour brown dye into the water at the top of the waterfall, and it mixes in on its way to the bottom....so, no the jungle cruise water isn't naturally "dirty" but it is dyed to look that way...

Here are some pictures I took at the new Electric Light Parade...

On my post yesterday, that we also learned on the keys of the kingdom tour that they are going to uncover the 10,000 league's pool and use it for new Little Mermaid ride in Fantasy Land. Pretty Cool! (Sorry if this is already known, I haven't been able to read much of the DIS lately) JT

We learned on the keys to the kingdom tour that they just got the OK to start building a new hotel in the abandon lot where they didn't finish the Pop Century. It will be called "Animator's Palette" hotel! They also just got the OK to start a new park in Shanghai. We also got to see the...

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they are going to hit the other parts of the track while riding Space Mountain. I heard a news article about a person who stood up during the ride and hit her head on some duct work, ever since then I've been afraid to put my arms up. Am I crazy...

We rode Expedition Everest twice on Thursday (March 25th) and the first time we rode, we only got the flashing light. The second time we rode it, we somehow got the front row (without asking) and the yeti did swipe. It wasn't as fast, or as far as the "A mode" but it is swiping. IMO, they need...

Sorry yall :rotfl2: I'm from Georgia, so yes ill = mad. I told her we have too much to do and not enough time to do it already, and it would take forever to go back, change, just to go right back to the park.... JT

I'm not sure how to do an actual poll on the boards but, We are packing for our disney trip that starts this weekend, and I showed my wife the schedule I created, and she is ill because I didn't plan on going back to resort to change and take a shower before dinner, at the same park.....so...

I was told that the Glasses for Alice in Wonderland/Avatar etc work because one lense is polarized vertically and one is polarized horizontally, which causes a sensation of depth....and I think this is the same technology they use for Philharmagic and the other Disney shows with the big yellow...

Can anyone give any tips on where to find Devine and the person in Epcot who is dressed as a statue? I was amazed with the statue when I went to disney as a kid, so I'd like to take my parent's back to see her again this trip. Thanks, JT

I was reading the thread about the crowd levels going up and down for some other Diser's...my question is: How does touringplans predict the crowd levels? What do they go by to determine the ratings? JT

We're going down Mar 21-Mar 26th, what's the chances of the Backlot Tour opening early? I love that ride :( JT

We are arriving at rope drop and staying til park closes...I believe on an EMH night... We have lunch ADR at 11:35 and dinner ADR at 5:55. Thanks, JT

I tried using Ridemax to plan our visit to DHS and it could barely fit half the rides in for the day...how do you guys tackle DHS? Obviously we should probably bolt for Fastpass or standby for Toy Story Mania, but should we wait til later that evening for ToT and RRC or should that be #2 and #3...
