The Disney Store near me in the Sunrise mall, Massapequa actually was closed. I (not in a cynical way) was almost happy by this. I only like to see Disney merchandise and Disney cast members wearing Disney name badges in the parks and resorts, not down the block from my house. Its a feeling that I only get when I am on vacation at WDW. You know the feeling you get when you drive through the gates of WDW and you feel like a kid again. I don't need or want a Disney experience on Sunrise highway at the mall. And I am by no means insensitive by the way, to those who lost their jobs.

Let's see do you mean like when i go thru the turnstyles at MK and leave with there and run down main st with one of my kids yes i do know we always have a meeting place because kids are old enough . Pixies till i become a kid again .

It is the eve of yet another WDW trip. The excitement has already set in, the golf and dining reservations have been made. My bags are packed. But my thoughts are a bit saddened by something I read yesterday. Snow whites scary adventure is closing March 31st. I don't like change. ESPECIALLY at Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom. This ride was (is) a classic. I believe it was there when the park opened in 1971.This is also one of the few remaining attractions that was operational on Disneyland's opening day in 1955. I go to WDW to bring me back to the days of my youth. I love walking down the same paths with my wife and children that I walked on with my parents and siblings when I was a child. To see a piece of the park become only a memory is sad. The ride will be replaced by a princess meet and greet, a chance for the park to sell more Disney merchandise. Other rides have closed over the years and some have changed over the years for in my opinion for the worse (The Tiki Room). They comercialise them based on current movies to make a profit (I am a DIS shareholder so I understand the business angle). If its not broken, don't fix it. I don't think Fantasyland was broken. God help them if they lay a hand on The Small World Ride.

I herd about this to , and i was lucky enough to ride MR.Toads wild ride before they changed it And I so know what you mean We only have the bug since 1996 and bought into DVC in 1999 on our honeymoon this is one of the rides we go on each trip but I'm the only one in my family the can by pass it's a small world but thank god for ipods now i listen to my disney songs when they drag me kicking and screaming on it .
Change is something that could be good and bad should i use one word "Stitch"

I am having a freakout right now. We are flying out of Islip at 7:50 AM tomorrow. There is a weather advisory from tonight into tomorrow night. High winds with gusts up to 55MPH. We have been waiting for this trip for so long. It doesn't look good for tomorrows flight. Last year our flight was cancelled coming home because of high winds on Long Island. Please cross your fingers for us.

We were in the same boat! (well, plane!). It was exactly one year ago tomorrow when we checked out of the Polynesian and while on the Magical Express I found out our flight into Islip was cancelled (wonder if we were on the same flight?). We contemplated checking back in somewhere else, but I had to get back for work and couldn't get a flight until Monday the earliest (but they said most likely Tuesday).

So we rented a car and had an adventure (31 hours to home, including a sleep stop)! We had refundable flights so we even saved some money.

Now we always drive, especially since airfare is just so ridiculous for a family of five. With a mobile hot spot and all the technology we have it's like being at home on the road.

Crossing all appendages for you for tomorrow! Hope you can get your Magic on!

Actualy we may have been in the same boat, plane and bus. LOL, We left BLT and picked up passengers at the Poly and GF (probably you). As the ME pulled into the terminal I received a text from SW saying the flight was cancelled into Islip for wind. We could not get a flight home till Monday. We were traveling in a party of 8 so driving was not an option. We got a cheap room at Days in for the night near the airport. It was very funny because we checked out of a MK view 2BR with 3 baths at BLT. When we walked in the door of the days in room my sons asked, "Where are the other rooms"? Spoiled courtesy of DVC, LOL. We then drove to Daytona and got a flight home Monday. My wife and I both missed work and the kids missed school. On the anniversary (tomorrow) there are high wind alerts and air cancellations and delays are expected. Moral of the story. Don't book your trips around us!!!

P.S. During huricaine Irene last August we spent 3 days 300 miles off Virginia floating in a big circle with aircraft carriers and Navy destroyers because eNY harbor was closed. See, its us!

Hurricane Irene - "It's a Small World After All"!!!!!

After our flight fiasco and our vow to drive each time, we too were victims of Irene. We stayed an extra day at the Contemporary, we were supposed to leave the day of Irene and would have been driving up the coast right along with her. So instead we followed in her aftermath. Bad idea!

When we got to North Carolina to check into our hotel that we had reserved, they had given away our room!!!

We drove up the east coast searching for a room, any room. Every single hotel/motel was booked or without power. It wasn't until northern Virginia many hours and miles later that we found a (disgusting) room. Needless to say when we finally got home we had no power for three more days.

So... when is your next trip? I need to avoid you!

Just checked and Southwest flights are on time! You are on the same flight as a friend of mine. He organized a trip for 7 friends and himself at BWV for a week and if he was delayed I could just hear him now! Have a great vacation!

If the list is still going, this is Lee & John from Holbrook. Members since 2001 at WL and BCV.
