Re: Real Wildlife at WDW?

I work at Animal Kingdom and oh boy, the wildlife. I love the little brown lizards, and we have these MASSIVE cricket-things. Maybe grasshoppers, I don't know, but they're yellow, black, and green and the size of my hand, and like to hang around Theater in the Wild and Everst. I let one climb onto m...

Re: Great Movie Ride - Western or Gangster?

I didn't even know there was a Bandit scene until my roommate told me (she was a GMR tour guide). I lost count of all the times I rode that thing and I only saw the Bandit scene once. It was fun - and I was like "you just blew up the tour guide??" - but I like the common one better. It's v...

Re: SXI - An official WDW meetup : Dec 3-17, 2011

Awesome! I'll still be on my CP at that point so I'll finally be able to meet some of you. :D Definitely putting this on my calendar.
Now the trick. It's right in the middle of the Christmas season so we'll have to see if I can get a day off somewhere in those two weeks...

Re: Disney "Smells"

-The smell of the water spray on any boat ride that has a small drop, especially PotC and Maelstrom. As soon as you enter that first "cave" you know what you're getting into! Also, the smell of the spray in the air from the Fantasmic water screens. And the Fountain of Nations. -The slightl...

Re: Is Fantasmic scary for young children?

I've sat through countless showings of Fantasmic, enough to know that a lot of the time it is the unexpected bangs and/or the menacing music that gets children upset rather than what's actually happening on the mountain. If they got through POTC they shouldn't have a problem with the Monstro or Jafa...

Re: Struck By Lightning

You'd be surprised at some of the regular park decorations that are really lightning rods. You know that pillar at the entrance of the Studios that has Mickey Mouse at the top walking on a globe? Mickey's finger is pointing straight up. Lightning rod. A roommate of mine worked merchandise on that st...

Re: Subsonic Radio on the iPhone!!! :D

I got an unexpected iPod touch for Christmas and when I tried to listen to Subsonic through Safari I was disappointed to see that I basically had to shut down the rest of the browser to do it. I couldn't look at the Now Playing list or anything. Then I found the app and it made my entire morning! Th...

Re: Subsonic Radio wants your ideas for updates.

I love the radio but I don't often feel that I have useful info to contribute to discussions: I settle for my tiny amount of points rather than annoy people by posting unnecessary crap. That said, I love the idea of dropping the post/point system yet still giving everyone a limit. Speaking for those...

I can't request either. It says it's playing 10 seconds of the Golden Horsehoe Revue over and over but it's definitely not. I wondered why the Now Playing page was so empty.

I agree, just outside WoL is very peaceful. In the French pavillion behind the flower garden to the right is nice and quiet most of the day. The bench is in the sun most of the day, which may be why it's often ignored, but it's great in early spring. Aurora walks by every hours or so, too. My favori...

"Now Playing" time off

I'm not sure anyone else is having this issue since it hasn't been mentioned yet, but I've found the "Now Playing" timer is consistantly ahead of whatever is actually playing by about 2 minutes. Subsequently it will say it's playing one thing when the audio is from a track that is already ...

I was a pin-trading CM at Epcot and got a bit addicted myself. :) In a nutshell, a CM will never refuse a pin trade UNLESS the pin you want to trade is not a Disney or Disney-affiliated pin (ie. Rainforest Cafe is Disney-affiliated so their pins are OK - no Universal pins) or the pin you're trading ...

Which songs are in the Animation Courtyard medley?

It's driving me crazy. There seem to be 9 or 10 movies represented in the 24 min. Animation Courtyard area music loop but some I can't recognize. If you could help me fill in the blanks and keep me from going nuts I'd really appreciate it. --- --- (there might only be 2 before Hunchback, I can't tel...
