    Lawnmower tree

    My sister and I remember it well, because during our 1st trip to Walt Disney World, while staying at the Contemporary Resort, we made a special trip over to Fort Wilderness just to see the Lawnmower Tree, which we had heard so much. I am just glad that both of us were able to see it, while it...

    How do you like your steak cooked?

    Medium rare. Brown on the outside with a little bit of pink on the inside. My father, on the other hand, liked his steaks the rarer the better. You put it on the grill for 5 seconds, flip it over for another 5 seconds, then serve it on a plate.

    Andrew Shvarts' Royal B. . . . . . .

    Meh? From a male point of view, that has some of the most realistic romance I have ever read. The violence is brutal, so that is realistic. Bar fight! Bar fight! It has some great action sequences that'd look wonderful on film. It is quite funny. It has some of the best villains in...

    Underrated Disney characters?

    I'll go back to an earlier era than the Disney films. I'll go back to the black-and-white animated short subjects and the "rubber hose school of animation," as I think both Horace Horse Collar and Clarabelle the Cow are underrated. And a hero is only as good as the villain he faces. Thus, I...

    Star Wars Books

    I'd stick with the books that are "canon." So far, there are 7 of 'em and counting. Dark Disciple which follows The Clone Wars Lords of the Sith Tarkin A New Dawn which follow Revenge of the Sith Heir to the Jedi Battlefront : the Twilight Company which follow A New Hope and Aftermath which...

    Adults Only

    I'm just adding to what everyone else has said, but having taken the "all-adult" tour to Alaska, a couple of years ago, just to see what it was like, it turned out to be just like the tour "with kids," except the kids' activities were omitted from the tour. So, don't hesitate, if you want to...

    "The Professor" is dead.

    Long live the Professor. My favorite character on "Gilligan's Island," and one of my favorite actors ever. He will be missed.

    Video of Anaheim Ballet at DTD

    Thank-you for posting this. I saw it, and I quite enjoyed it, which makes me wonder, since "Frozen" is based in part on H. C. Andersen's "The Snow Queen," and I believe there is a full length ballet based on that work, why wouldn't it be possible to do a full length ballet version of "Frozen." I...

    Driving in America

    I know it is irritating to have someone beep, or honk, as we say here in the U.S., for not turning right quick enough to suit the driver behind you, but I'd say ignore them, till you feel it is safe enough to turn. You are a better judge of when it is safe to turn, then the driver beeping or...

    Here Comes The First Marvel Disney Attraction

    That sounds like pre-Disney Marvel. It would seem it would have been better for Marvel to sign a contract with Universal, allowing Universal to use the Marvel characters for a fixed number of years, then either renewing or canceling the contract, then what sounds like allowing Universal to use...

    Favoriate Book

    Adult or juvenile? Fiction or non-fiction? Too many to name them all. So, let me just name a book that I just finished. Anne Perry's "Bluegate Fields" the 6th in the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series of mysteries set in Victorian London, as the book has one of my favorite characters in all of...

    "Forty Pounds of Trouble"

    The first film to be allowed to be shot within Disneyland. I first saw it when it opened in theaters in 1962, then I later saw it on television. A remake of 1934's "Little Miss Marker" w/ Adolphe Menjou and Shirley Temple. Based upon the story by Damon Runyon. The attraction I remembered...

    tips for guides

    I am sure that he got paid the same, but my "guilt" lies not in how much he got paid, but in the fact, that because of when my flight left, and that was not my decision to leave then, but dependent upon the flight times, he had to make an extra trip just for me. A trip he need not have to make...

    tips for guides

    Yeah, that happened to me, too. I tried to tip the bus driver on the Backstage Magic tour, and he turned it down as well. On the other hand, I tipped the bus driver for the Alaskan trip, when we got to the airport, and he did not turn it down. He said he'd use the tip to buy diesel for his...

    Adventures by Disney - Do the trips have the Disney MAGIC?

    Having been on three of them so far, and looking to go on another one, as soon as I can, let me assure you that they are like no other trip you will ever take. The exclusive, exclusive to that trip, pins the guides hand out each day makes sure of that.

    I do. And the crickets chirpin' . . . but not to any old piece of music . . . but to one of the greatest pieces of operatic music ever written . . the "Sextet" from Donizetti's "Lucia de Lammermoor." And apparently a favorite of the 3 Stooges as well, as it shows up in several of their...
