The Disney Village Thread!

There was a train in June that went around the lake. It's called the Minnie Train - I took a photo of it: http://www.burbling.net/external/londondlrp/20050613/photo49.jpg

We didn't go on it, though.

Oh that's the same one that ran at Christmas. Like Rhiannon I thought it was only in use in the Christmas season - possibly because of this!!!

Nice to know it's there all year.

It was still there in late August too!! I was fool enough to have a go. Lasted a whole 23 seconds and loved it

Well done Steve (if you're referring to the bull and not the train!!! ) - any pictures???

Salford Steve, I'm not as enthusiastic about the train as you. My DH hopped onto it with our 2 children to travel from the NPB and the ride lasted about as long as you say and I can't actually remember the cost but DH was in shock and he's not usually known for being mean with the cash!

I don't think the train is there all year. Unless I just didn't see it, it wasn't there when I visited in March this year. Of course, it was snowing a lot when I was there, so maybe they took it away because of that?

I may be wrong but I think Steve was referring to the rodeo bull

Steve - I thought you were talking about the train too!! I was thinking "what a con!!" - but how nice that you were so easily pleased!!!

It was there in February 04 but seemed to only be there at certain times of day?

My DD loved the look of it it but I was too mean to pay for us all to have a go on it

For me once of the best things to happen a Disney Village is actually at Lake Disney, namely Panoramagique.
And another vote for Annette Diners, Planet Holywood and Rain Forest Cafe

i love annettes diner! not a big fan of planet hollywood food wise,although i thought the film memorabilia on the walls was a quality feature!

despite the fact ive been in the disney village a lot,ive never really gone to the lake i just stick to the long strip and dont look anywhere else,whats panoramagique?

 

[dlpSteve]

Huge air balloon that goes up, well, in the air (!), and gives spectacular views of the resort - so I'm told, that hole in the middle scares me!!!

Thank you for starting this thread . Disney Village has never had much attraction for me, but when you think about it theres actually tons to do. We've been to Planet Hollywood, had a character breakfast at Cafe Mickeys, seen the rodeo bull and been to Buffalo Bills twice - but we've never seen the lake at all or the parade from Buffalo Bills or the little train ....all things to put on my to do list .

Thanks
