That is what most imagineers and executives wear.

I thought the same thing. You screen name make me smile since I was born and raised in Maine. We live in the middle of the country for now and I miss the ocean so much.

My point was that he doesn't seem to really care what "most" wear, so I'm just surprised he's not bucking the trend.

Just saw my first Pandora ad on TV and on NBC of all places.

I saw it last night the 16 sec river video I forget what channel it was on but it wasn't prime time television. Honestly I'm loving the music they have in the video.

I'm glad our trip is before Pandora opens - I think the crowds are going to be scary!

Can't wait to see this. I'll be there in two weeks. I have been at F&G once before and it is incredible to see.

Am I the only one who thought this looked like Fiona from Shrek? I guess it's the green coloring.....

Caribbean Beach dining locations to close in May

Boy that is going to be tough on people staying at CBR, especially if they have resort days planned.

Boy that is going to be tough on people staying at CBR, especially if they have resort days planned.

My fiancee had a slight panic attack, worried about our wedding guests, until she say it was just for May. Hopefully it doesn't get delayed, as we have guests that will be staying there for our late June wedding.

In other news, we just got back from our trip late last night and saw Rivers of Light. It was pretty "ok". As many others have said, it lacked that final punch.

From talking to some cast members that I actually know (they don't work at Animal Kingdom) they've said there are actually a couple different endings that they were testing. Not sure how true that is.

Also, getting glassy eye'd at Wishes for the last time got me thinking...

I'm sure Uncle Bob is a very busy man (and he's on the West Coast way more than the East Coast), but do you think that when/if he ever goes into the parks, and experiences the same thing the guests do, he has an emotional attachment to anything?

Thinking if there was once a time when good ol' Bob was standing on Main Street and getting misty during the fireworks really got my brain going.

We did too, and my 10 yo daughter's jaw dropped. She quickly got her iPad to look it up. I thought she was going to try to book a trip right then

Are we sure its just in May? I am also going in June and figured in May the construction would start and continue for another two years....am I off on this?
