Sharpies are great. Clickable sharpies are also great. Please don't get the short ones, though! They are very hard to hold. As a general rule, characters love the sharpies and costuming doesn't, because yes, the ink (not just the green stuff) will stain the costumes. That's part of why the...

I am a strict vegetarian, so it can be hard sometimes, especially because I don't eat mushrooms or the Boca burgers they serve at most WDW locations (Boca burgers taste like meat, which is great for some people, but I vastly prefer Gardenburgers, because they taste nothing like meat), but there...

Exactly - it was the beginning (or rather, the resurgence, since the true beginnings were in the 1800s when women were fighting for suffrage, and they had to fight for a LONG time), and that meant more consciousness-raising, which meant being very vocal about such things. Now there's less of a...

It's interesting that a number of people here have commented that they offer their seats to not only elderly folks and those with young children, but also to women. As a relatively young woman (30) with no children, I see no reason why anyone should give up their seat for me. I've certainly been...

I reread my original post, and I was trying to be circumspect, so I wasn't clear. I didn't mean new characters come out at the teardrop; I meant new friends of the characters. (That was the case when I was a friend two years ago; I don't know if it's still true.)

I'm not sure if it's still the case, but a few years ago the Toontown Teardrop was a main site for new friends of the characters -- which meant, if you were lucky, you could meet characters you might not normally see.

"Okay, we're in Mexico now, so we'll meet you in Japan for lunch."

Wow, that's an unbelievably rude and misogynistic thing to say.

Saratoga Springs Resort is bland, especially when you compare it to such architecturally interesting places such as the Lodges or such beautifully landscaped resorts as the Polynesian. It looks like a cookie-cutter resort; there's nothing special there. I visited it once to see what it was like...

The characters always do a great job, but I should warn you that the Crystal Palace is HUGE and, depending on when you go in November, might be very crowded, which means you'll get less time with the characters. If you go when it's not very crowded, then the characters will have fewer tables to...

I know that they farm fish there; however, much of the seafood they serve throughout the parks is decidedly not sustainable, like the farmed salmon. Or the Chilean sea bass (more properly known as Patagonian toothfish), which is severely overfished and being pushed to the brink of extinction...

Lots of you have probably heard that the oceans are being overfished, and that if things continue, we will lose the fish we now depend on for food. We need to start doing more sustainable fishing, and it is definitely possible. It's just a matter of convincing the industries that it's worth it...

It was purely a monetary decision. Disneyland's TOT was cheaper to build without the Fifth Dimension. Any other explanation is just a rationalization for the fact that Disney didn't want to spend the money. It was a very poor decision, and it makes Disneyland's version look and feel cheaper...

Thank you for the review! The brown cheese you liked is gjetost, and is my favorite cheese! It's goat cheese, as you note, and the interesting thing about it is that it's caramelized - hence the brown color and the slightly sweet taste. I find that it's best when eaten with fruit, especially...

My favorite places are California Grill and Jiko, especially the latter because it actually has more than one thing that I can eat on the menu without alteration! Of course, any Disney restaurant will happily make you a special dish, but it does make things easier when you don't have to...

Hummus, especially at Disney, is a very mild dish, so she might be okay with it. The couscous salad at the cafe has cinnamon in it and is slightly sweet, unlike the couscous that is served at the restaurant, which is decidedly savory. Hummus is very good with pita bread, so you might be able to...

The Hollywood Tower Hotel is a beautiful place. The air of decrepit grandeur, of Hollywood glamour gone to seed, is magnificent. Given that, I think you should at least walk through the queue and the library if you haven't already. The attraction itself is a credit to the creativity of the...

Favorite Character You Have Met: This one is really hard. Probably Clopin ; he's just so funny and charming. Favorite Fur Character: Again with the hard! It's probably easier to say that my favorite character to be friends with is Robin Hood . Favorite Face Character: Clopin Favorite...

Oh, you'd be amazed at what some parents will do. I once saw a woman insist that she should be allowed to sit in the disabled section of the Hunchback theater because she had an infant. I have a friend who used to work Fastpass, and she told a story about this one parent who argued that she...

I never got a definitive reply from Tusker House on whether the corn chowder was vegetarian. Does anyone know? (Oftentimes things look vegetarian, but then they sneak in chicken stock. I hate that.)
