I just got home from my trip to Disney a couple of hours ago. Had a great time, although it rained heavily several days while we were there. I'll be posting a full trip report on the trip report boards soon.
Anyways, I picked up a few tidbits along the way that I thought everyone might be interested in. If any of this information has already made it to the boards, please excuse the repetition--I'm posting without having read the boards in over a week. Here goes:
A Segway scooter tour is now in development at Epcot. They are planning a tour of the World Showcawse on Segways that will include training in how to use a Segway. They are developing a storyline to go with the tour.
In October of 2004, the Haunted Mansion in Disney World will feature the characters from the Nightmare Before Christmas for a few months, like they currently do at Disneyland. They originally were planning to do it this year, but are putting it off a year because of the Haunted Mansion movie--they wanted at least one Haunted Mansion ride to remain the same, even though the movie is based on the one at Disneyland.
The renovations at the Port Orleans French Quarter are moving along well. They are finishing 10-15 rooms a day, and the renovations should be complete in mid-December. However they will be holding off opening the resort until the rooms are needed--most likely during Spring Break time (this decision is due in part to the fact that the Pop Century resort is opening at the same time the rooms will be renovated). There was talk about opening some of the buildings around the pool sooner, but that is being put on hold.
Pop Century is going to cater primarily to the groups of atheletes competing at the Wide World of Sports. The resort was made mostly to add a value resort that was very close to the sports complex.
That's all for now.
