    What if kids "chicken out" at loading area?

    This reminds me of the time I jokingly asked the CM where the chicken exit was when it was my turn at Summit Plummet. He just smiled and pointed down the slide. :upsidedow

    Cypress gardens

    Is it still around? I thought I read something a while back saying they were getting rid of it?

    Man, was I missing out...

    As you can see from my signature, I'd visited Disney a few times growing up, but we were never quite "rich" enough to stay at a resort on site. We had always gone to the same hotel, the kings motel, which later changed to Howard Johnson. This place was on a lake and it was beautiful. The...

    You prob get this age question a lot...

    Thanks guy, looks like I have some smooching and convincing to do, but I have a feeling I'll be posting in the DL forum for some tips here soon. I appreciate your stories and insights.

    Am I Disney crazy?

    Thanks for all of the kind words, and even the tips on some places to look at. I am looking to go back to school for a specific degree, so my choices are somewhat limited to where I can move to. But its good to know I'm not that crazy, and if I am, at least I am in some good company;)

    Discovery Island

    That's too bad, the memories I have are from a young age, so they aren't very sturdy ones, but I do remember it being something very unique. And I wouldn't beat yourself up over river country, I remember that as not really being worth remembering.

    Am I Disney crazy?

    So I will be leaving the military in a few short years. I'm not going "home" again because Maryland has gotten just plain expensive, so the wife and I are looking at different areas to live. Is it crazy that a large part of my decision is based on how far of a drive it will be to WDW from our...

    You prob get this age question a lot...

    But, every family is different, so let me explain my situation. I've been living in CA for about 2 years now. The first year was my wife being pregnant, and the second is now my son being one year old. The problem is I have now waited two whole years for my first trip to DL, when I'm only 3...

    What's up with the Carousel of Progress?

    I actually think CBJ has gotten the worst of it, much worse than CoP. I was actually ashamed that I brought my wife in there on her first trip to WDW. Eyebrows missing...eyes not opening. If theyre gonna keep some of these around, the least they can do is make sure the very basics are functioning...

    What's up with the Carousel of Progress?

    Bet if it's still around in 15 years, the kids will be having this same conversation about how much they love it because it reminds them of their childhood...

    Discovery Island

    Anyone else miss this place? It was in between one of my trips a while back that I noticed it had been deserted in place of AK, and I can honestly say I was pretty upset. I obviously love AK, but there was something really neat and special about the ride out to the island and how secluded it...

    Help me choose which park to visit twice (other than MK)

    Buuuut, if you insist on all staying together at one park, my vote would easily be AK. It's a huge park, and while you could likely hit most of the good stuff in one day, the animals are always doing something different each time you go and you might even see some one day you won't see again...

    What's up with the Carousel of Progress?

    Seems like it's more of a ride for pure Disney lovers. My wife didn't really "get it" after riding all the other modern rides throughout the park that day, but it will always be a must see for me.

    Aaah....I miss it...

    I was fortunate to get to go to WDW three times in my childhood, once in my adult life so far and once to Euro Disney. It's been about 3 years since my last trip and man do I miss it... Life has taken me to CA now, so I have the opportunity to now see DL, but life has also given me a child...
