Chris, here's a few updates for you, from the one reliable Disney expert this poor thread has:
Topsiders was converted into a seniors-only shuffleboard area.
Parrot Cay no longer has real Parrots.
When you board, and they ask your family name, don't say "Who wants to know?"
A lot of people are interested in dining rotations, but don't take part in it. It is alot easier to eat your food if the plate is not rotating.
Your "Key To The World" card is nothing of the kind. I tried to use mine to access Michael Eisner's ATM account. Didn't work. He lives in this world, doesn't he?? I rest my case.
They don't actually serve characters at the character breakfasts. I found this very disappointing. But they have eggs 'n stuff.
When the horn blows "When You Wish Upon A Star", try not to be next to it, or you will soil yourself and start talking like Bobcat Goldthwait.
You'll feel alot better if you repeat to yourself "5 dollars for a beer is reasonable, 5 dollars for a beer is reasonable"...
If you attend any parties in the Walt Disney Suite, be prepared to sign a waiver.
If you wake up and have no idea where you are or were... you attended a party in the Walt Disney Suite.
Try to be understanding and compassionate towards young, crying children, by realizing that Mickey Mouse is in fact a 6-foot rodent that any reasonabe person would be scared to death of.
And finally, if you see a guy at the port with a lime-green tshirt and a video camera, turn 180 degrees and RUN.
