Hooray for the Wonders of Life Loop! That's one of my favorites, too. And it may soon become part of Yesterland...

I'll have to check my personal collection and see if this is really a figment of my imagination...

Just wanted to let you know about my 15 seconds of fame. (Actually it's more like 1 second.) If you're watching the start of any of the Travel Channel specials about WDW, during the intro montage there's a brief clip of a Guest Relations Cast Member walking with a family in front of Cinderella Castl...

Any child over 5 shouldn't be able to use a stroller. I can't tell you how many times I've seen 8 year olds in strollers. Once again, how would you police that? Like I said before, many times parents will go to stroller rental when their children are somewhere else in the park. How does the Cast Me...

I thought there used to be a Jungle Cruise "boathouse loop" on here... but not anymore. Was that my imagination? This must have been back in the spring of '06.

Too bad they can't have Tink fly at WDW like she does at DL. I actually like Tinker Bell's flight at WDW better than at Disneyland, because the scale seems to work better. Maybe it's just because I've seen it so often at WDW, but at DL Tink looks HUGE by the time she reaches the castle. And the ans...

Shame, shame, GhostHost... Don't you know that spirits are frightfully sensitive to bright lights?

That's the problem, they are making attractions too kid friendly and not family friendly. Walt's dream was a place where kids of all ages could have fun. Disney has stopped thinking about what would be good for everybody. A child doesn't need an attraction based on a character to be entertained by ...

Yea did you see that documentary made back int he 80's about the family that showed up at Wally World, and found the park closed? *smile* Not sure if I'd term "National Lampoon's Vacation" a documentary. :wink: But that's a good example of the family vacation gone awry, which is something...

Every so often we were asked this same question by Guests purchasing tickets at the Guest Relations window outside the park. The answer: In order to say operating 365 days a year, every attraction needs to be closed from time to time to ensure the safety of the attraction isn't sacrificed, and the a...

The problem with Stitch is that he isn't meant to be scary. Trying to give Stitch the job of a blood thirsty alien just didn't work well. They should have just kept Alien Encounter, and given Stitch a new ride where he would fit in. Personally, Stitch annoys the hell out of me, so I wouldn't care i...

I worked in Magic Kingdom Guest Relations for three years, and no topic was as hotly debated among front entrance managers and more criticized by guests affected one way or another than this issue of strollers and wheelchairs. The bottom line is that Cast Members--even managers--cannot make the dete...

And I'm lucky I enter Tomorrowland via the Fantasyland Skyway... [sigh] Never mind.

Port Orleans French Quarter is my favorite moderately priced resort. It's smaller size, more intimate setting, intricately detailed architecture, and wonderful atmospheric music put it worlds apart from hubbubs of noise and activity like Caribbean Beach and Coronado Springs. As Esmeralda said, defin...

I think there are very few organizations that respect culture and history as much as the Disney company. Walt was a huge nostalgic himself, and always kept a keen interest in preserving the past. Not only would I argue that Disney, whether it be Walt's-era or the contemporary leadership, would do a ...
