what type of ride is mission space? is it like tower of terror?

what is in the epcot ball?

i heard fast passes will not be available for a couple weeks. will it be available from the 20th to the 27th of august?

how would one join DVC and what does it offer/ what must we do if we are in it?

Don't know.

That's a WHOLE other SUBJECT. And a whole other discussion FORUM, here on the DIS.

Better to post over on the "Disney Vacation Club" forums at the following link.

No, it's nothing like TOT. You go into a row of 4 seats and then the front pannel moves in close to you so if you're colostrophobic (sp) I wouldn't suggest it. It spins but if you look at the screen the entire time you don't notice (at least i didn't). It really feels like it launchs you and you're landing and stuff like that. I love it and didn't think it was too intense but I'm pretty tough skinned.

what is in the epcot ball?
Spaceship Earth. It's a slow moving ride where you're in cars like Buzz Lightyear or Haunted Mansion that takes you through the history of communication.

I cannot help you with the other two. Have fun on your trip!

The question about DVC is very complicated. Look here for more guidance, as well as the link Robo gave you above:

Ive heard Mission Space called a lot of things...UNrealistic is NOT one of them.

I haven't heard anything about Fastpasses being down for a week... are you sure that wasn't for just one specific ride?

DVC = Disney's timeshare

hahahahaha im not talking about mission space, i was talking about the price for just 1 point in the DVC

I think Syntax was referring to DVC being unrealistic... not Mission Space

what is in the epcot ball?A slow-moving vehicle that you ride in and go past different animatronic scenes depicting the history of communication on Earth.

i heard fast passes will not be available for a couple weeks. will it be available from the 20th to the 27th of august?Who knows. I'm so ticked about this that I won't really start.

how would one join DVC and what does it offer/ what must we do if we are in it? There are Disney people everywhere at WDW selling this. They have stands in the hotels and in the parks. All you have to do is stop by and they'll take it from there. Also try the DVC boards. And have your accountant and lawyer look at it before you pony up the dough. It may end up being right for you, but mine said, "Don't do it."

Have a great visit!

oh...sorry about that.

Regarding FastPasses, I read something similar, but I believe it was only during extra magic hours...not during the regular day. there should be a thread here about it.
