[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

Just wanted to let everyone know, I just started my last week of this semester!!!!! Only 1 week to go!!!!!!! (and finals but I don't count finals)

Disney Trivia of the Day

The Jungle Cruise

While waiting in the Jungle Cruise queue, listen closely to the announcements. You'll hear that one of the new sponsors of the Jungle Cruise is "Casablanca Air: The Airline No One Comes Back From".

As you're in the queue close to where you will board the boat, there is a table with a caged tarantula spider in it. If you put your hand close to the side nearest the queue of people and move it, the spider will "run" across the cage, causing it to tip up on its side, as if from the spider's momentum as it tries to "get" you.

(I've never heard or seen either one of these but I haven't been on the Jungle Cruise in a while, def. have to do that this trip, I want to see if these are true. Well I did see a video of the spider so I guess that one's true )

Disney Trivia of the Day

Fantasyland

Ok so I know this isn't an attraction or anything but I like the trivia I have for Fantasyland so I decided to put it in


As you walk through the Castle from the central hub towards Fantasyland, look for a small fountain with Cinderella at the center on the left side. Officially titled, "La Fontaine de Cendrillon" (or Fountain of Cinderella), this bronze statue is named after the fairy tale heroine who became popular in France in 1967, and served as the inspiration for Disney's 1950 animated classic, "Cinderella."
This fountain is known as "Rags to Riches" because if you stand (actually, you may have to kneel) in front of Cinderella and look at the painted mural behind it on the Castle wall, a painted image of a crown appears to be sitting on top of the princess' head. Although an adult may have to get low to see it, this was designed intentionally so that when children look at the fountain, they can clearly see the crowned princess. (it's next to Tinkerbell's Treasures)

Located around the corner from it's a small world, the Pinocchio Village Haus serves fast food and snacks in a restaurant themed to the story of the little wooden boy who just wanted to be human. One of the restaurant's hidden treasures is a window overlooking it's a small world. The restaurant is divided into seven themed rooms, each named after a character in the film. The names of the rooms are: Blue Fairy, Cleo, Jiminy Cricket, Monstro, Stromboli, and Gepetto's Workshop

As you enter the Columbia House Restaurant from the Fantasy Land end nearest Peter Pan's Flight (London), it is decorated to represent England and as you walk through, the decor changes to early American.



I also thought of something, if you guys have any favorite rides or areas of parks or anything that you would like some disney trivia about just let me know, I probably have some about it, I've been collecting disney trivia for quite a while now so just let me know!!!


Oh by the way tomorrow is my last day of class!!!!! Then finals

 

[tink774]

Oh by the way tomorrow is my last day of class!!!!! Then finals

Good luck with finals!! My last day of classes was today, and my finals start Monday.

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

Ugh lucky you. I have one final on Tuesday and one on Wednesday and I'm done, then graduation! Good luck with your finals!


Disney Trivia of the Day

Mickey's PhilharMagic

The long mural that spans the lobby is a composite of imagery from animated classic Disney movies with musical themes: "Toot, Whistle, Plunk & Boom," "Melody Time" and "Fantasia."

Congratulations on graduating! One of my roommates is graduating in a week, and my other roomie and I (we're both entering our senior year in the fall) are so jealous.

PhilharMagic! I love that show so much. It's funny, for years I put off seeing it, because I'm not truly one for the 3-D shows. I like them well enough, but most of the time they're just an excuse to get out of the hot sun. When Rob and I went in May 2007, I said, "Why don't we try it?" because there was no wait. I loved it! So many of my favorite characters/songs/films being brought together! Now it's one of my absolute must-dos for every trip.

Looking forward to more of your PTR!

O.M.G. DisneyFaeriePrincess I think we were separated at birth! lol

I am taking my DBF in August for the first time, too! We are also college students, next week is our last week of classes. Unfortunately I still have 1 semester left then I'll have my bachelors in Biology! I pray every day that DBF will love Disney even 1/10th as much as I do!! For now he thinks I'm insane too lol. I have to get DBF cheesecake for his bday too bc he hates pretty much all other desserts and anything with chocolate.

I also went every year (sometimes twice) as a kid. Unfortunately we didn't have DVC but I am definitely signing up as soon as I get out of school and get a FT job! Still have to talk DBF into a Disney wedding though

Oh and he's a video game lover too so DisneyQuest was a must!

We will be there with free dining the 17th to the 22nd. I wish we were staying at POP but they were all booked up but I keep checking just in case we can switch But for now we are staying the ASMu (Movies only had preferred rooms and I refuse to pay the $80something for that!)

We're flying airtrain, our times aren't as good but I couldn't pass up the deals! It's only his second flight and his first was only from Rochester NY to NYC so that hardly counts! Plus it was eons ago

I'm planning on starting a PTR but probably not until after I'm done with the semester entirely. For now I'm just waiting for the park hours impatiently And using DISboards to procrastinate from doing the ridiculous amount of school work I have to do this weekend

I can't wait to read more and keep posting the old vacation photos... I'm lovin' them!

Haha, I told DBF there simply wouldn't be any other way for me to get married than at WDW. Luckily he understands. Or pretends to.

Sounds like all three of our DBFs would hit it off! They'd all just scamper off to a corner to talk about how awesome video games are and how crazy their girlfriends are at Disney.

 

[Beka]

'K, I saw your link in another PTR, & before I could get through the 1st post, I had to comment! YAY future nurse! Is it this month you get your ADN or next May? I graduate next May with my ADN, & have already signed with a local hospital (we bought a house, so we're here to stay for a while!) I plan on getting my MSN by doing a RN to MSN program, skipping the BSN all together (one BA is enough for me!). I'd also like to be a RD as well, since I want to work with bariatric patients. Do you know if you want to specialize yet?

Know what the best part of nursing is? Discount at Swan/Dolphin!!

I know! Too bad we all missed eachother lol

My DBF said there's no way he'd get married at WDW but I still have hope! He said we could get DVC so that's a start I have a year or two to work on him

Thanks!!! Well don't get too jealous. I'm graduating on May 15 with my AD and then I have one more semester for my BD. But at least now I'll be able to get a big person real job! I love PhilarMagic! I love all of the them together! I especially love the music. I love disney music! My dbf doesn't know it yet but once the trip's like a week or so away all he's going to hear is disney music but shhhh don't tell him yet, he already thinks I'm crazy! Did you have your final yet or was that this Mon. (tom.)?

Thanks for joining!!! OMG!!! You're my long lost sister!!! and our dbf must be long lost brothers!!! I have one more semester after this for my BD so I'm in the same boat but I do get the whole graduation and pinning ceremony (as nurses we get pinned). It really is crazy how alike everything is! I'll be on the look out for your PTR! Yeah I should be studying for finals but I decided the DIS is much more important. hehe. I'm going to try and see if I can scan some of my really old ones onto the computer but that probably won't happen until after my finals are over. I can't wait until those hours come up. I woke up this morning and I really didn't want to get out of bed and then all of a sudden I remembered the August hours might be out and I literally jumped out of bed but alas they are not and I'm really getting frustrated!

haha. My dbf said no to a disney wedding but I think I can con him into one. We'll see how that goes. Gotta wait until I graduate and get myself settled and stuff. I could so see our dbf running off and letting us crazy disney people to ourselves to plan and talk about disney!

Thanks for joining and yay fellow nurse!!! I'm graduating May 15 and my pinning ceremony is May 13 so I'm really excited. After working for a few years (probably like 2 or 3, the school I'm thinking about has a requirment of 2 years of working before you can start the program) I'm going back for my master's and hopefully becoming a nurse practitioner. I love kids and I'm hoping to get a job in pediatrics. Once I become an NP I want to work in a pediatric office. Haha about the discount, I read that somewhere and I got so excited! Def. the best part of nursing! Soon I'll be able to use it!!!!

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

Ok I am furious!!!! I just checked my flights on delta's website and one of our flights is GONE!!!!! The one from PA isn't there anymore! I'm so &%^#@$!!!! So once again my flight dilemma's have continued. I have to get this fixed!

Wow this is really getting ridiculous!!! I haven't flown Delta since I was a kid, usually we flew JetBlue when we didn't drive and no problems as far as I know. Lately AirTran has had better prices. They have switched times around on me now and then but never destination and certainly not erased my flight completely Good luck getting that straightened out. If I were you I'd be thinking about getting my money refunded and looking for tickets elsewhere they shouldn't be able to treat their customers like this!

My finals officially start tomorrow. I have five classes, and four of them have exams and one requires a paper instead. Last semester, my finals were all right on top of each other so it was horrible! This time they're much more spaced out. I have one tomorrow afternoon, one Tuesday afternoon, one Wednesday night, and then the paper due Thursday morning before my last final exam that afternoon. Then I am done until July 6th!

I totally hear you on the Disney music! It's wonderful for getting yourself in the WDW "zone!"

Since a Disney wedding is waaaay off in my future, you don't know how much time I spend lurking over on the Disney Weddings and Honeymoons board, living vicariously through all of those DIS brides! Haha, you could always have a lot of Nightmare Before Christmas theming for your wedding, maybe that would bring DBF around?

Ok I am furious!!!! I just checked my flights on delta's website and one of our flights is GONE!!!!! The one from PA isn't there anymore! I'm so &%^#@$!!!! So once again my flight dilemma's have continued. I have to get this fixed!

I'm so sorry about that! Since I live close to Atlanta where Delta is based, I've flown with them several times and they're not an airline that I particularly enjoy traveling with. Are there any other airlines that you think could get you from PA to Orlando on a similar schedule? Best of luck!!

If I were you I'd be thinking about getting my money refunded and looking for tickets elsewhere they shouldn't be able to treat their customers like this!

The thing is my family and I have flown Delta a lot before and we've never had this problem. It is ridiculous. I'm not really sure if I can get my money refunded, my TA booked them and I'd have to check the details but I was thinking about it. They def. should not be treating their customers like this, it's really getting bad. I emailed my TA but she won't be in until tomorrow so I'll see what happens then.

Wow you're schedule is def. packed with finals. I thankfully only have two, one on Tues. and one on Wed. Good luck with all of them and your paper. I'm too afraid to go over to the Weddings board, I'm afraid I'll get sucked in and spend even more time on the DIS! Yeah a wedding is quite far in my future as well. Hmmm I should def. play the Nightmare Before Christmas angle, could work. hehe. I've flown Delta before and never had a problem but I'm really getting frustrated. I could probably get another flight with a different airline but I'm not sure I could get my money back for the tickets. We'll see what my TA has to say and see if she can fix it. I have to say she's been great with all of my questions and fixing my airline problems so I'm sure she can fix this. I may just stay with Delta for this trip and then never use them again!


Oh and I have to say....

Where are the August Hours!!!!!

I'm going crazy waiting for them!

 

[Beka]

Thanks for joining and yay fellow nurse!!! I'm graduating May 15 and my pinning ceremony is May 13 so I'm really excited.

Congrats! Are you a SNA member? Word is that "they" (whoever "they" is...) is trying to make it so that a NP must have their doctorate! WTH?! I mean, a PA has a 2 year degree! Only 2 years of medical! Ugh!!!!

I'll be doing our pinning ceremony this week. The SNA members get to pin the graduates. I've got one more year left! YEAH! My med-surg final is tomorrow, and pharmacology is Tuesday. I've note even studied for the med-surg. I figure if I don't know it by now, I never will. But I've got a B (and have a baby at home, so yeah, I'm proud of that B) and would have to get a 70 to maintain my B, so I'm not concerned at all. I'll study the pharm stuff tomorrow, since I have the worst time keeping my drugs straight.

Oh and I have to say....[/COLOR]

Thanks!!! Ok that's ridiculous! A doctorate!!!! Well hopefully they won't cause I do not want to do that much more school. I am a member of SNA but our members don't pin us, the head who runs the Nursing department does. If you have an RN in your family then they can pin you which I think is really nice. Unfortunately I'm the first RN so I can't have a family member pin me but that's ok. Ugh pharm is horrible, it's the hardest part for me. It's sooooo hard to keep them straight! I just finished studying for my med-surg final, ugh I've been studying for 7 hours just today! My brain is fryed and I'm done for now. I don't even want to think that I have to study for a my nursing psych final tom. Uh yeah a B with a baby is amazing!!!! I have so much respect for the people who can go to school and have a family. It's amazing to me that they can do all of it. So to you for being able to do all of that. The only thing about the program I'm in is that they don't have a separate pharm course so you have to learn the drugs and the diseases all at the same time which I think makes it harder. But oh well I'm almost done!!!!

I'm going to disney August 9-15 and those darn hours are still not out!!!!

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

Just wanted to let everyone know my flight problems are all figured out. My TA got it all figured out. I know leave at 6:30 am and get there at 11:37 (instead of leaving at 6:00am and getting there at 11:35) so actually it worked out better (it's only 1/2 hr but for me an 1/2 more sleep is worth it!) Plus with the change in flights we got our seats (we had to wait until 90 days to get the ones on the other flight). So I guess everything worked out for the better. Hopefully that will be the last of my flight dilemmas! So onto....

Disney Trivia of the Day!!!!

Peter Pan's Flight

At the beginning of Peter Pan's Flight, you can look down and see Nana barking outside of her little red doghouse. (Not really trivia but I never noticed it before I read this )

On Peter Pan's Flight, in the scene where you're "flying" over London, the little moving car headlights are actually bicycle chains painted with dots of blacklight paint.
