Hi it's me. The author of the post on The Disney Blog. Just wanted to clear up a few points. The height requirement is 48 inches. I had to ask as numbers aren't painted on the measuring stick, just lines. The 'practice seat' does have a red/green light. But it's very small and off to the...

Hi This is John from The Disney Blog. It was an emailed report, I get 3-5 of those a month. I don't post most of them. But for this report I had a collabrotive report. Plus with the other Monorail news, it became more newsworthy. Safety first. Best, John / indigo

Ah Ha. Well they did give it the old college try. I tend to agree that this would have worked just as well at Disney-MGM, Fantasyland, or even Epcot (as an 'addition' to imagination pavillion). But Monstropolis is quasi-futuristic and the decor is sci-fi enough that it fits into Tommorowland, if...

What was sad? My report or your impression of the attraction? to be fair this was the very first time it had been shown to the public and was just to see how an audience would react to some of their ideas.

Normally but not always. And actually the rules state that anyone an win, but for a minor to win their parent or guardian must just be present when the prize is awarded: So choosing height restricted attractions reduces the chances for minors to win, despite the rules stating everyone is...

At all four parks they have recently added special wheelchairs just to get guests who can't walk long distances from the handicap parking spots to the entrance (or in MK's case, the TTA). The chairs are turquoise blue and have a blue flag on them so CMs can find them in the parking lot amongst...

Actually, date on the FP can be a reason to invalidate it. Some CMs check and some don't. Do try to use the FP on the date it was issued. As for the OPs question. Sadly I don't know of any work around for this other than this: if it's one ride you really want to go on, get a FP earlier in the...

Another little secret I love about Epcot is how the train village in Germany has decorations that match whatever festival is ongoing at Epcot at the time. Also keep a close lookout for hidden mickeys in the area.

Do you have a favorite Hidden Mickey or inside joke you like to share? How about a favorite menu item or hide-away? I'd love to hear them. My Epcot Secret is when you're riding Soarin' keep a close eye on the golf ball, when it goes flying by you'll be able to spot a familiar Mickey...

There is speculation that the reason for TL's extended closure was less about the damage, although there was probably lots of landscape damage, and more about the theming. Typhoon is another word for Hurricane and Disney probably kept the park closed out of sensativity for Charley's victims...

Hiya, What was your source for this?

I still haven't heard the definative answer as to why Typhoon Lagoon remains closed until Monday? That is probably more than just a debris problem. I know one of the water parks on I-world drive reported losing, as in they don't know where it went, a slide. If I had to speculate, I would...

These look very useful to me. I know my searches in previous trips involved lots of various websites and pamplets to get the material you're presenting in these maps. A suggestion is that you clearly mark the bus stop locations for each resort as well as approximate travel times to the...

That wasn't Marty's exact quote. But it's close enough. He promised to throw himself across harbor blvd if they ever decided to close the subs. Which they have... but still no Imagineer VP Speed Bumps on Harbor.... I know Marty's taking lots of kidding about this one. So let me report some...

Heard that the word went out to Disney Management types yesterday that Pixar and Disney have signed a deal. Official announcement could be as soon as today at the Incredible's presentation at Comic-con or as late as Pixar's 3rd Quarter Profits meeting. I'm trying to get another source to...

Hills Hills and more Hills. My wife and my first trip to WDW, she was just my fiance at the time, she spent 9 of the 11 days in a wheelchair. Not only were the hills a problem, but so were the distances, crowds, and most suprisingly, the textured pathways. Yep. Anytime good 'ol...

The luggage issue is not that big of a stumbling block. Here in Vegas, most large hotels have a service that will pick up your luggage at the airport and have a bell hop deliver it to your room when you desire. Whether by truck or a special compartment in the train, this can certainly be...

First Class Flat envelopes can't have DC. They instituted a new rule that states a First Class item needs to be at least 3/4 inches thick. I think that's so it doesn't get lost in the mail handlers pouch and delivered without scanning. I solve this by adding a few extra bits of bubble wrap so...

Thanks for that. But I was talking about UPS, not USPS. I do use the USPS for free Priority Mail supplies (although they have been real slow about delivery recently). I searched the thread and found the post I was looking for. Unfortunatly I think those boxes are too small for what we ship...
