News Round Up 2018

Interesting. I’ve never heard of any young kids having an ID either.

My grandtinker just turned 2 and went and got the State of Illinois ID right before their all girls trip in April. While not technically needed for flying, the airlines love when you check in and they have their own ID. They cost like $15 and you get them at the drivers license facility.

My wife had it playing on her iPad while we were getting ready in the bathroom this morning. It was pretty nice.

Some great wallpaper type shots too. I liked that they had several camera views.

As a long time day shifter (my day starts at 4:45 each morning) I can never sleep past 5:30 so I get a lot of quiet early morning walks when I am at WDW. I always marvel at how serene it is early in the morning and how busy it is when it awakes. Love staying at the Boardwalk and walking around there early in the morning. Loved it when they had the Segway tour in Epcot before the park opened (my avatar).

Might as well get those documents early. My mom actually got us our social security cards (SIN cards here in Canada) when we were kids so we did not have to wait to get them as teens so we could get jobs

In the states, social security cards are issued at birth now.

Rumor

More About the Indiana Jones Ride Rumor For Disney's Animal Kingdom AND Disneyland Paris

That seems like a rather "out there" rumor to me. I just don't see that the IP of Indiana Jones is big enough to spend a big pile of movie changing Dinosaur over to a version of the IJ ride. If I was Disney, I'd look at spending LESS money and just taking the current Dinosaur ride and turning it into a GOOD dinosaur ride. (For instance -have the Dinosaurs actually move a bit and don't have them in the dark all the time since you can't see them and don't have half of them look like cartoon dinosaurs.)

In the states, social security cards are issued at birth now.

Yeah - our DD had her SS card at birth and that was 15 years ago. In fact, I did too in 1969, though at the time that wasn't very common.

Eh, I think Dinosaur is fine as is and with the update they made it a little better.

I would really love them to do something with Dinorama though.

Good to know - we are going the last week of August so will be able to catch the existing show one last time (obviously would prefer the new show but rather the old show than no show as we will have a 4 year old and 3 year old with us)
