    I read today Tel Aviv has started burying coils in roadways to charge electric cars and busses as they drive. The same could be done at Tomorrowland Speedway

    Updating the Magic Kingdom:

    There's a lot here but I think the American Adventure needs an update to include more of the immigrant's story. The don't touch it that much. They should have a part of the immigrants story in every scene. Immigration did not stop in 1900. they should also emphasis more the Hispanic story as...

    VWL Groupies & Lovers Thread (Special Collectors Edition 2.0) updated 21 June 2023

    For me it's French Quarter. It's got a great atmosphere and the staff are always great for some reason. The pool with the serpent slide is fun for kids. The landscaping is some of the best at any any moderate resort. I really love that you can take the water taxi from Disney Springs. At night it...

    It is time to electrify Tomorrow land Speedway!!!

    Battery technology is getting close but I don't think there is the energy density to carry a car all day around the track on an overnight charge yet. It could also be that only sections of the track charge the car. Since the cars are so low we can do inductive charging. In that case the center...

    It is time to electrify Tomorrow land Speedway!!!

    It is called Tomorrow land Speedway, not 1960's speedway. I bet Tomorrow land Speedway is the major source of CO2 in out civilization. Cars are going electric, so can Disney. It would be pretty easy to redo the center rail so it becomes two flat conductors separated from each other. You could...

    Hotels within walking distance

    Remember that the area Disneyworld occupies is bigger then Manhatten. Much of it is swamp. There are just no real walking distance hotels close to the parks and off site. I agree that the Disney value resorts are your best bet. You get free on park transportation by bus. There are non...

    Hotels near Disney Suggestions please

    I travel on business a lot and stay st Choice hotels for the points. Then I use them for free hotels in Orlando. I recently stayed at the Clarion at 7675 W Irlo Bronson Hwy in Kissimmee. It was clean and well run. The restaurant was decent too. The shuttle service is only a few times a day...

    Most Embarressing Moments at Disney

    I don't even remember what ride it was. It was one of those where you ride a mat down and race with your partner. My wife forgot she had her glasses on. When she hit bottom at the end of the ride she lost them. Amazingly after I got off my mat I made out the image of them at the bottom. I...

    What TS Restraunts would you like to see closed or changed?

    I agree that Liberty Tree Tavern needs better food. It's the host pavilion for World Showcase but may be the worst of them all. How about some regional themes like New England or Louisiana or even stick to your ribs Midwest fare. Plant Hollywood is outdated and loud. It's expensive, the...

    Chef Mickeys vs Cape May

    I found the food at Cape may better. I also found the staff better. Also at Cape may your on the Boardwalk. It's easy to just take in the atmosphere after dinner or a character breakfast or lunch and just do the Boardwalk. Chef Mickeys is in the Contemporary resort, which I have always...

    Can Someone Explain SW to me

    I fly on business a lot and have used SW priority boarding to Orlando from Chicago. Amazingly there have been times i was the only one. I got to stand first in line with the closest people ten feet behind at the post for numbers 30 and higher. I could choose any seat I wanted. Even when I...

    6 days in Disney and we arent doing parks! Any resort attractions we should see?

    I stayed there for 4 days once and entered a theme park except to walk through Epcot after closing. All rides are closed but shops are still open. People have already talked about many of these but here's a list. Ride the monorail and visit all the monorail resorts Ride the monorail up to...

    WHY do you choose the resort you choose?

    For some reason people never consider the Port Orleans French quarter. If you have kids maybe it's because the pool layout is simple. I do have kids however and they always liked it. The resort is quiet and not spread out like Caribbean or Riverside. You can take the boat to downtown Disney...

    Has anyone seen the Broadway version of Lion King?

    I did see it in Wisconsin. I saw it at the Milwaukee auditorium in downtown Milwaukee. If it's coming back there it's a good place to see it unless you're way at the back. The place is not that big and has been recently renovated. My family loved it.

    Has anyone ever had a "critter" other than bug visit your resort room?

    We checked in at Caribbean Beach resort. I came with my niece and nephew. We checked into the room. On the inside of the door was frog. It was almost pure white. My niece noticed it first and thought it was some kind of message magnet holder or something. She touched it and it jumped. Boy...

    Help me figure out where to stay with my family plus my mom

    It sounds like if your trying to get everyone in the same room you might want to consider Port Orleans Riverside. Some rooms have trundle beds that roll under the bed. It's not good for adults but kids may enjoy it. It theory the room sleeps 5 then.

    Reactions to Are you 23? Announcement

    When I first heard about RU23 I kept getting it mixed up the controversial day after pill RU 487. I thought Disney is really branching out. Actually now that I know what it is I am not surprised. I can picture some earnest pro fan Disney employees first proposing an official community on line...

    what is the most exclusive / coolest Disney place you have been?

    For me the coolest place was back in the power plant back by where the monorails sleep. I work on utility power consulting and did some work for Reedy Creek. I know it's geeky but it was so cool being back where the magic starts. People don't realize the infrastructure it takes to make it the...

    Start Radiation Tomorrow

    Radiation always sounds scarry but don't be. It may make you tired but it does have a lot of side effects otherwise. Science has really progressed on this. The scan machines may seam scary as they do their work but they are harmless. They don't give off any rays or anything like that. They...

    90 minute presentation/tour for good price?

    I have never seen the law. I heard about it from a timeshare person and also on the DIS unplugged podcast. Both seemed like good sources but maybe I misheard. I'll check Florida admin code for it.
