Just some random thoughts, questions and chatter....

* Why did they stop shooting the water out as the logs go down Splash Mountain?

* Why did they also stop shooting the water into the air in the battle ship scene on POTC?

* If I had stayed on M:S for one second longer I would have barfed. All I kept thinking was, "If we have to go back to Earth, I'm throwing up."

* My girlfriend ( 22 ) decided to buy a small tiara at one of the giftshops on our second day of the trip and afterwards everyone kept referring to her as princess whenever she was wearing it. I think its so wonderful that CM's are trained to react to someone wearing a tiara, regardless of their age. I also was referred to as a prince a few times.

* Why is it that at CBR they only play the music on the island a few times a week? It seemed like it was only Fri, Sat, and Sun. Is this due to it being Value Season?

* Definitely do the Kilimanjaro Safari if you are doing the AK EMH evening. The park was empty which meant that there were alot less trucks running, which means the animals aren't as scared to come out. Plus around 5pm its just about feeding time. We had TONS of animals right by our truck. It was the best experience ever!

* I love Walt for giving me this place called Disneyworld.

Splash is going down for rehab.

PotC on th reopening had sooooo much water from the Aircannons that we got wet in the boats (hopefully they are just working out the kinks)

Ride the tame version as I did feel loopy a bit last time i rode the spinning one but in June the tame version with DD was just great.

We like the attention for the birthday pins as well.

Weekends are for Partying ?????

Yes we did this in June and plan on hitting it on our next few trips as well'


I think I got everything covered


Glad you enjoyed your trip and YES Walt did a great job getting it started.

I am so tempted to slip a tiara on when DS and I go in March. He would be so embarrassed. (He is16 and terminally embarrassed where his parents are concerned).

Bless Walt. He was brilliant, and found fantastic people to surround himself with.

Definitely do it! I think I enjoyed it more than my girlfriend. I thought it was just such a special thing for them to think of doing.

I wondered about Splash also. I remember before DD & I loved to stand on the bridge and get wet with the spray when the logs went down - but no longer. Wonder if someone got hurt on the slippery bridge??

Also noticed this last trip that you can no longer open the windows on the ferries operating around the EPCOT resorts. That was tough when we were on one that had no A/C.

DD is 7 so many of the CM's assume that she likes the princesses the best. She did go through that when she was younger, but now she doesn't want to meet them. She would like a shirt that says something like - Don't Call Me Princess! (But no-one ever means any harm when they call her that..)

I am also very happy that Walt needed something to do with his daughters...

In my best little kid tantrum voice and actions

I WANNA TIARA!

Snow White called me princess last year on our trip and it's still one of the highlights of meeting a character!

I haven't been on the new POTC so I haven't experienced that, but it will definitely be a bummer, i liked that and the sound it made!

I rode mission space once and i will never ride it again blech!

WOW--I had this exact question. I thought they closed the all animal related stuff early in the p.m. We are going in Nov., and our first night there is EMH for AK, so we were trying to make up our minds about going there since we wouldn't arrive until about 3. Our stay is short, so one park is going to get the short end of the stick.

Even though EMH was till 8pm, the Safari closes at 7pm.

If I put a tiara on my DD(5), I would have to put one on my DS(2). He aready run's around the house<dragging a blanket on his back, yelling "I PRINESS......I PRINESS"

You can get the tiara at many of the shops. She bought hers at World of Disney, but I also saw them in the gift shop at POR.
