    Fastpass - shows vs. rides

    At MGM you can FP mermaid and Tower of Terror for the same time slot. I done it last week. Also Epcot are giving bonus passes to Mission space if you get a FP for Test Track. Mind you nobody if riding MS at present queue times are only 5mins

    Cruise Report

    Understand they are paid low wages. I have no complaints for paying tips in general, but to ask for a drink at the bar and pay a gratuity. This should be the choice of the customer and not automatically placed on the bill. I have it on good authority that the hostess can collect between...

    Park tickets from Virgin

    Buy your tickets at the WDW. Virgin and the other ticket outlets are expensive. For my first trip to disney I bought my tickets from a Disney shop. Big mistake 144 quid for 5 days, but at the gate they were only 180 dollars!!!

    Tower of Terror DLP

    According to other non disney sites, it may be spring 2004, but it will not have the opening twilight sequence at the start of the ride which is a shame!!! Also the ride may have a longer drop of approx 20-30ft.
