Re: What have you taken part in at a Disney Park?

The closest I came to being picked for anything was way back in 87 (I think), there was some special promotion on for an anniversary of the park (87 seems wrong but that was the year I went - it was April, so maybe the promotion started after April in 86 and ran for a year to celebrate 15 years???),...

Re: Long Lost Disney Friends Returning

Made my vote, but to honest, I would have preferred to be able to vote for a few of them. All should be at Disney. I think instead of a limited time, they should have a section where they rotate the characters listed permanently. Same number of CMs so no extra cost to the company.

Re: Need some Mug Help

Thanks for the link. I went through the list. I guess Squeezebox guy could be PoC, but the banjo guy also? Doesn't seem to fit.

OK. How do I do that? Took a couple of pics, but I don't see an option to upload them.

Need some Mug Help

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but since we are all Disney fans, thought someone might have an idea. Last year, we bought a mug from Disneyland (just got it now for father's day). This is the mug with many characters and some rides like everyone is on vacation. The gang of 5 st...

Re: EPCOT Character Spot Refurb and Character Changes

Does that mean no more character bus (or is that gone already - haven't been back to Epcot since 2010)?

Re: Disney Newbies....

For most newbies, I try to find out what they do know (even if it is a little) and pick what I think is the most helpful thing that they don't know anything about and just tell them that. For example if they have a basic concept of getting to the park early and going on rides during parades (if they...

Re: Character Meet and Greets

sfein- Thats so cute! When do you get to see all the villains? Do they only come out at Halloween because you don't see them all the time? But I imagine Governor Ratcliffe to be really scary in the parks! This was in 2002. All the villains came out together in Fantasyland. One long line of them. We...

Test Track 2.0

This audio sounds different than the last time I rode Test Track (2010). Did the audio change for the ride?

Re: Character Meet and Greets

My kids loved meeting characters. They had no problems with heroes or villains. They would go up and get pictures. There were two exceptions. My son wanted nothing to do with Cruella De Vil, though my daughter went up and got a picture. Cruella was excellent. Complaining to one parent that she didn'...

Re: Opinions on Caribbean Beach

We stayed there quite a long time ago ~ I would guess around 2000. I stayed there in 2000 as well. Go figure. The ground are large but I found if you learn the bus route, you can shortcut the time. We found we stayed at the first stop so coming back, we got off there, but we would quickly walk up t...

Re: My Favorite Disney Walks

My favorite is the path between the tran station and tomorrowland at WDW. It's a back path very few people go on because there are really no rides over there. Just a nice quiet path to get away from it all.

For me, I'm OK with the loop over generic background. Others can chime in though.

Think you can sneak in the MSEP music at around 9pm EST tonight for when it appears on the feed? :D
