Hey! I just noticed that I have finally made it to over 500 posts! I am finally a DIS Vet! Only took me 4 years...

I changed the picture for another where you're not blinking.

When the Villas at Wilderness Lodge first opened the room in question was indeed called the Iron Spike Room. Some time ago they changed the name to the Carolina Pacific Railroad Room. I have no idea why. The new name certainly doesn't roll off the tongue. I personally thought it was a trick question.

Actually Kim, it's Carolwood Pacific.

That was the name of Walt's backyard railroad in his Holmby Hills Estate home. A lot of the items in that room are on loan from the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society, run by Imagineer Roger Broggie's son Michael. I'm a member and hang out with those folks sometimes at Walt's Barn....

Can't wait to see all of you!!!!!!

It occured to me that maybe Tom and I should put up some obscure Disneyland tips....

When riding Pooh (which has a much better theming and atmosphere), make sure to look up and behind you when exiting the big, circular Heffalump room past the harp playing Heffalump. You will see the powerless remains of the disembodied trophy heads of The Country Bear Jamboree's Buff, Max, and (what's his name) hanging above the doorway. An homage to the original ride housed there, but really, really creepy....

Also, don't eat the chimichangas... Never. You'll thank me. Especially the ones in DCA, which are made in DL and carted over..... Blech.

Okay Tom. Your turn...

Whew that's better, thanks. I looked like I was half asleep.

I realized I had the name wrong later and was too lazy to go back and fix it.

At breakfast DH asked, so when are you gone again? I looked at the calendar - one more weekend then I'm off!!!

Anna, hope the snow's all done and it's clear skies. Good thing there's lots of time for them to clear all the roads and runways for you I'll try to hop over to your ptr

Have a fab long weekend all - hope the Easter Bunny is good to you!

cheers,

I'm not sure that I've every seen the movie the whole way through, but I LOVE that scene.

See you all in 2 weeks (and 21 minutes).
