    Main St. Electrical Parade?

    I am confused if the great Main St. Electrical Parade has returned to the Magic Kingdom. On Facebook, I was told that it was replaced by SpectroMagic while others say it has returned nightly.

    Lord of the Rings World ?

    I have heard rumors that attendance is slipping at WDW because they have no new attractions to speak of; while Universal has major new rides. While Universal has Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Terminator, MIB, etc.. WDW really has no new hit film tie-ins except for the old Star Tours. Any chance...

    Main Street Electrical Parade

    Where can I find my beloved Main Street Electrical Parade? It used to march down Main Street about 20 years ago. When I returned, it was replaced by SpectroMagic, which was nice but not the Electrical Parade. Next, I heard it moved to California Adventure. Now, I think it's gone from there as...

    Banned Photography?

    I am confused about whether videos can be taken inside Disney attractions. In past visits, I had problems doing photography at such places at the American Showcase and the China film both at Epcot. What exactly is the policy now?

    No Universal Planning DVD?

    For years, Disney has been mailing-out to guests free vacation planning DVDs including a pocket guide. These are very useful. When I go to the Universal site, there is no such offer. They show videos on-line but not everybody has a PC and to get the maps, you must have a printer. I have no...

    Captain Eo

    Does anybody remember Captain Eo at Epcot? It starred Michael Jackson. I think it only lasted a few years. Didn't we have to wear 3D glasses? Why was it closed? It was fun. I forgot which songs he sang. Maybe Disney should issue it on DVD.

    Photography at WDW

    Of course, how can they stop you from videotaping at "It's a Small World", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Haunted Mansion" or other indoor rides ? They would have to have workers stationed throughout the ride or have video cameras to see who is filming. The cost would be prohibitive and it would...

    Photography at WDW

    Is there a problem with taking still photos w/o flash at "Hall of Presidents" or at "American Adventure" at Epcot? They gave me a hard time there with videos but what about stills? If they're so worried about people videotaping then posting the videos later or even copying the videos, why...

    Photography at WDW

    On my last visit to WDW, I had problems with the staff when I attempted to videotape portions of the indoor attractions. I had no problem with "It's A Small World" and "Pirates of the Carribean". I had trouble in the "American Adventure", "Hall of Presidents" as well as "Carousel of Progress"...

    Carousel of Progress ?

    What is the latest news on the Carousel of Progress at WDW Tomorrowland? On my last visit, it was closed. It was one of Walt's favorite attractions. I hope it has re-opened. I remember it from the 1964 NY Worlds Fair.

    Walter Cronkite at Epcot ?

    When I first rode the attraction "Spaceship Earth" at Epcot, the narrator of the ride was Walter Cronkite. When I returned, the voice was changed. Who was the new voice? I was told that Cronkite was gone because younger visitors never heard of him. Now that he has passed, perhaps his voice...

    Carousel of Progress ?

    I am curious about the status of my favorite attraction, "Carousel of Progress" at the Magic Kingdom. It is un-listed as an attraction currently and fear it will one day be destroyed. It was one of Walt's favorite attractions and one in which he actually took part in the attraction. Most others...

    Vcr

    My sister and I see no reason to stop using VHS VCR's to tape and enjoy films, etc. Since we don't have HDTV, we see no reason to switch to DVDs. A problem has arisen. Several of our VCR's are out-of-commission. Dealers will no longer repair VCRs, either. New VHS VCR's cannot be found for sale.A...

    Alfred Hitchcock Tribute ?

    I haven't been to Orlando for awhile. I notice that one of my favorites, being a senior citizen, was the Alfred Hitchcock Tribute. I see it has vanished. When did it close? What happened to the "Psycho" house nearby? What about the life-size "Statue of Liberty Torch" and the "Rear Window" set...

    Questions About "Cruisin" at Epcot

    I was curious about a new attraction at Epcot called "Cruisin'. It is supposed to be a replica of the attraction from "California Adventure". I am surprised that Disney didn't replicate a flight over Central Florida rather than over California. Does this attraction use the same IMAX films over...

    Rainforest Cafe at Animal Kingdom?

    Back in 1998, I seem to recall a "Rainforest Cafe" located by the entrance to "Animal Kingdom". Could this be possible? The Cafe now has a different location. Am I confusing it with a different restaurant? Can anybody help?

    About Expedition Everest

    I am curious about the new attraction, "Expedition Everest". I know it's located in Disney's Animal Kingdom in the Asia section, but it's not shown on any maps. Also, I'm unable to find any photos or drawings of the Yeti.

    New Attractions Targets the Young

    Have you noticed that all of the new attractions are targetting the young visitors? Many of us old "fogies" cannot ride on "Expedition Everest", "Mission Space", "Test Track",etc. due to physical problems. I welcome these thrilling attractions but Disney is also dismantling rides that the older...

    Kongfrontation

    I bet that Universal is now sorry they destroyed the Kongfrontation attraction. What great advertising it would have been for the release of their new film, the re-make of "King Kong". Universal goofed but good!

    New Disney Movie Classics CD

    I understand that Disney just released a CD with a collection of recent songs from Disney films. Included are "Beauty and the Beast", "A Whole New World", "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and "You'll Be In My Heart". But where is my all-time favorite, "Colors of the Wind"? Why was that left-off...
