    FastPass badge?

    Hello All, I just received this years Disneyworld vacation planner DVD. They mentioned in one of the chapters that there was a FastPass Badge but did not really give any specific's. To me this is a pretty interesting concept. Has anybody heard anything more on this. It has the potential to...

    Pirates of the Caribbean

    I think it would be a very interesting concept if Disney were to close the ride for it's rehab (sooner or later whenever that may be) but kept the boats running, with the house lights on, just for a peek, in order to see the work in progress. It would never come to be, true enough, but it...

    WDW MK Park DVD

    Thanks All, I do believe I can find what I am looking for at the Walt Disney Mail Order site. I did not know this .com even existed but then again it never fails to amaze me how many Disney sites are out there to explore, let alone keep track of them all. Thanks Again.

    WDW MK Park DVD

    Hello everybody, a while back there was a thread about a new DVD that was produced by WDW about the MK park. It was for sale at that time but I do not remember where to purchase it from, it was labeled "Magic Kingdom DVD SKU#0013218014 ". Does anyone know if this can be still purchased and if so...

    Electrical Water Pageant

    The view from the roof top of the contempory is the best viewing platform by far. It's a experience that no other resort can match! I'm not talking from inside restraraunt but outside on either the Northeast or Northwest wing's. Chances are you will have the wholeplace to yourself. Once you view...

    Disney' Wilderness Vs Animal Kingdom Lodge

    IMHO the Wilderness Lodge takes the cake hands down. I prefer the turn of the century Americana that the WL offers ( not counting the air conditioning ) from the rustic cut out of the woods look with a indoor spring and creek ( everybody should have one ) to the waterfall's and gyser. The piped...

    Pirates DVD - 3 Disk edition

    I'm all for more of the movie, hopefully it's the director's "Final cut" scraps that hit the floor. However if it is 8hrs of drop off footage that was meant to be at one time in the movie, it's no wonder that ticket prices are so high and the actors want/need to be paid so much. That’s seems...

    Quality of Drinking Water at WDW

    Both times we went to WDW we thought the water tasted and smelled like sand. First time at the Wilderness Lodge and then at the Contemporary. Yuck! really, really, Yuck! The only time and place we thought the water tasted good was the drinking fountain at DMGM in the a hallway close to the...

    Disney fined over worker's death

    Even tragic things happen to good people. If anything good could come out of a thing like this is that it did not happen in the public eye. My hat is off for Mr Cruz's family.

    Hmmm, save at the Disney Store with the Disney Visa?

    Is there any truth to the rumor about the wings at the CR?

    My family of 5 stayed at the CR for 10 days last year. Granted it is not themed as good as the WL and yes the large room size is a good feature. However CR has many subliminal things to do that can't compare to any other MK resort. The MK fireworks are superior in scale when watched from the...

    Another bogus lawsuit for disney!!!!!

    A dress code is just that. A "Dress Code". You know it going in, you agreed to it at sign on. The point is mute. The frame work is set. CM's attire relates to wear they work. End of story. If they are in a backstage area, well that could a different story. The public at large is not...

    STUCK on Test Track! Anyone Else?!

    Many years ago at DL when Pirates of the Caribbean was new, oh around early 70's I'd guess. The ride came to a bump-bump-bump type stop. Everyone knows the water ride thump as boats ram the one in front of them at full speed. Then the "Oh No, Ride Broke" Well this happened near the entrance of...

    Electrical Water Pageant strategy

    The ABSOLUTE best place to watch the Water Pageant is from the rooftop of the Contempory resort. You get to see the Entire big picture of everything that is going on around WDW. Take the elevator to California grill and then head outside. Chances are you will have it all to your self. You get...

    DISER's Please Help! Thunderstorms during our trip, What can we do?

    Oh these days are great! Just buy a "Self Propelled Road cone", a Disney yellow rain poncho. Wait for the crowd to clear and have fun! We had the MK all too ourselves for a few hours last time we went when it rained and we had a great time. It rained 3 out of the 10 we were there. We road Splash...

    Disney Visa Vacation Package Deal

    When it comes to credit cards and "special deals" , I don't believe there is such a thing that does not have a catch. I would prefer a free night or twenty for the thousands I have on my credit card, now that would be a deal.

    I just got booked at the SOG!!!!

    Just wait till we get out of this current "Situation" in the Mid East. Either by mission end or rotation, there will be alot of Vets needing some family R&R. I hope they take advantage of SOG. That could be a time frame when it gets a little crowed. Our trip is not till next year and I have...

    TVs at the Contemporary

    We stayed in the North Garden Wing last year. Sorry, but from what I remember, they did not. I did not look on the back though.

    Jungle Cruise Movie

    I'm affraid your right, Counrty Bears, that movie was a good example of a bad idea. Maybe if they give JC a budget, good things will come of it.

    I have been watching construction of SOG for 2 years, in person while staying at the Contempory for 10 days, complements of SOG and by keeping copy's of construction photos from their web site cam, once a week for over a year. It makes quite the slide show. It's nice to see some photos from...
