    You've Got a Friend in Me (An October 2011 PTR)

    Our "Mickey Mail" came! :yay: We've also almost got our Halloween "costumes" together. We will be attending MNSSHP as Woody, Buzz, and Andy (hence the title of the PTR!). Ashley already has her Buzz shirt, my Woody shirt is on its way to me, and we are working on making Gretchen an "Andy"...

    WDW version of IASW needs Disney Characters!

    I find the Disneyland version adorable. Or, well, I did until I got stuck on the ride next to the Ariel for almost 45 minutes. And after they turned off the music, all I could hear were her eyes clicking open and closed, and a gear behind her that obviously needed some WD40. But, yes, back...

    "tame" rollercoaster ride

    Another tip: there are some sharp turns on Big Thunder, so if you think your child would be bothered by this, have them sit as far to the right in your seat as possible. :)

    You've Got a Friend in Me (An October 2011 PTR)

    Hi all! I'm new(ly registered) to the board, though I've been lurking for some time! :) PTR duties for this vacation landed on me, so I hope I do it justice! My two best friends and I will be spending 8 days in WDW, from October 19th-26th! We're all pretty busy, so this will probably be our...

    What ride are you scared of? And everyone thinks you're ridiculous.

    It's Tough to be a Bug. I shiver just thinking about it. Won't do it, no how, no way. I hate bugs more than anything. :scared: I'm not scared of Mission: Space, Astro Orbiter, Dumbo, or Primeval Whirl, but spinning like that leaves me feeling VERY yucky, so I avoid them. (Well, M:S green, I...

    To the CM's on the board: what is the one "tip" you can give us?

    Although I am not a CM in the parks, I will say something that goes a long way, at least for me. If you happen to notice a CM's nametag, use their name. Say "Thank you, Joe." or "How's your day going, Annie?" I always do this because it seriously brightens my day when someone takes the extra...

    5 year old and rock n roller coaster?

    My 5yo nephew rides California Screamin' in DCA (while it IS outside, it has an inversion like RnR does) and absolutely loves it. He's a tiny kid, too! But as a previous poster said, the force is definitely a part of what keeps you in your seat. So I wouldn't worry too much about him not being...

    Where's the Halloween merchandise in the Disney Stores this year?

    If you're talking about getting stuff in a Disney Store locally (before heading to the parks), there's not much yet. In my store, we only have 3 shirts: Vampire Mickey for ladies, a black boys shirt (I believe it says "Boo!" and has a Mickey Ghost?) and an orange girls shirt ("So cute it's...

    Random Acts of Magic

    My two friends and I were actually on the receiving end of some awesome CM magic! We were in AK during our trip 2 years ago. We had just gotten off of Everest, and we were having someone snap our picture by the banner out front. As soon as we were done, a CM named Cory walked up to us and...

    Questions about Fast Passes

    Return times are listed on an electronic board above the FP machines, and they'll be printed on your ticket (obviously). There are also some electronic boards around the parks (there are a couple in Epcot, and there is a chalkboard-type one in Hollywood Studios that I think might have FP times...

    How Do YOU Start YOUR Disney Vacay?

    I always fly in super early and head straight for the parks. No relaxation time until I crash in bed at night! Most of my friends that I do Disney with like to start at Magic Kingdom, so I just go along with that. If I go by myself, though, I hit Hollywood Studios first - it's my favorite...

    annual pass question

    I was a CM at the World of Disney on 5th Avenue (that is now closed), and if I'm remembering correctly, I believe we offered a 10% to AP holders. But, the current store in Times Square is a Disney Store, not a WOD, so I don't think they offer a discount for AP holders. Someone correct me if I'm...

    Comparison of jerky rides?

    Mission: Space (green, I've never ridden orange) isn't jerky. Dinosaur and Space Mountain are jerky, but I have never had an issue with either of them. Star Tours is a different story; it was definitely the worst out of all of them for me. I literally got sick after I rode the old version of...

    Anyone buy the Verizon wireless park app?

    I believe right now, it is just for Android. My mom mentioned that they were developing the same app for the iPhone and it would come out this fall. I hope that's true, because I just switched from Android to the iPhone. I was just in the parks in June and will be back in October - I used the...
