    The New Spaceship Earth

    We were able to experience spaceship earth last week. Wish the old one was back. To me, the narration lacked emotion, warmth, and resonance. Some of the new costumes were nice. But why is the old paperboy so far back and facing away? The whole end of the ride is based on the computer screen...

    New Spaceship Earth - a disgrace

    Some Saratoga Springs, NY photos

    We live near the real Saratoga Springs and couldn't believe it when we heard that would be the theme of the new DVC! We were there when it opened and saw the racehorses, etc. that they had to make it like the real SS. And every time we go there it is an odd feeling to see all the home town stuff...

    We will be at Disney the weekend of December 16-17th. Does the Christmas parade run in the afternoon and not just at the MVMCP at night?

    VB Reconstruction

    We have a trip planned to VB on November 10th. We received a FedEx with a note telling us that the beach will be undergoing beach reconstruction during that time and nobody will be allowed on the beach. I love going to VB-but prefer to go when the beach can be accessed! Is anybody else changing...

    ~~Please read~~ Announcing a BIG idea! ANOTHER UPDATE P4!

    I think anything that can be done with the DVC family is terrific. Although we don't have to worry about kids in school anymore, schools in upstate NY (and probably a lot of the northeast) don't get out until the week after the dates that are planned. Just an fyi. Thanks for your planning.

    Vero beach - just back

    Thanks for your detailed report. Vero is one of our 'homes' and we've tried to closely follow what was happening there as we love it. We are planning to stay there on Dec. 1st just so we can see what is happening. The floor sounds interesting.....

    Got a peek at Osbourne lights

    Osborne Family Lights are one of my favorites-we'll be there to see them the first week in December. Can't wait to see the new display. For those of you who saw them getting put up-do you think the new display will show off the lights as well as before?

    Who here has been on Soarin' in DL?

    The sign for Soarin' at Epcot makes it look like it is a plane vs. a hanglider-shows a plane and a runway. I've been on Soarin' at DL-which is terrific. Anybody hear whether this will actually be a hanglider or a plane?

    Stitch....

    I agree. Stitch did not have any redeeming features. There wasn't the type of creativity would appeal to really anyone; the story was illogical and seemed to just throw stuff in without any cohesiveness. It still gets dark (questionable for little kids) but not funny for anyone else (or little...

    Rich Hyams Eulogy

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings. Many people on the boards have learned a lot from you and the rest of the family, and it is greatly appreciated that you took the time to write and share with us. I'm glad you were also able to see how much of an impact Rich had on so many people...

    I loved Rich's post about the new guidebook in 2003- his description of it was.... "Crsppy, cruddy, near useless new guidebook"

    Sad News about Rich Hyams

    Lisa and family: I was very saddened to hear the news about Rich. I wish there was something I could do to help! His posts always made my day-I started reading them when my husband told me how great his sense of humor and wit were-and how he had a special way of sharing his opinion that kept...

    Any DVCer's from the Albany, N.Y. area?

    We live about 5 miles from the Airport in Niskayuna. We just got back from BCV and plan to go again fairly soon. We love the Southwest flight-we used to take USAIR metrojet as well. We go about 4-5 times during the winter to get out of the northeast snow and cold. On our latest trip we flew...

    VB Beach ramp access still closed.

    We were there in early November and the beach was in great shape! Sorry to hear that the access was wiped out. I'm sure it will be repaired-it was also in bad shape last year.

    member and mug questions

    You're welcome! Hope you and your friends have a great time. We love VB-can't wait to get there ourselves next week. Thanksgiving should be a great time to be there. Just fyi-you can bring your refillable mug to the entrance of the restaurant and just ask for coffee (or soda, ice tea...

    member and mug questions

    Your friends will enjoy the same priveledges as you will while at Vero-so enjoy. The mug is either $9.99 or $10.99...it is a good value if you will be there for a few days as you can also use it in the restaurants. We will be there next Tuesday and Wednesday ourselves!
