Last year I was up there on halloween night with a group of friends for the weekend doing MNSSHP and then food and wine. We all were in costumes of some type, mine being a simple set of scrubs with a little blood splashed over along with some glow in the dark oil mixed in. We were at HM near the end...

First, I have to say I like the fact that they are finally expanding. That said, I agree it seems like they are gearing most of this towards little girls. Although my niece will love it as she grows, I know it's gonna be just a tad less exciting for me. My hope is that they are realizing they need t...

Free weekends at Disney in the 80's

I'm not sure if this is the right forum but I hope so. Since I've noticed there are a number of floridians here, I'm curious if any others knew members of the state legislature or were family of members when Disney used to do the free weekends for them. Additionally, I'm curious to hear from any cas...

I too have been using torrents for a few years now. It's awesome. I've been able to find a slew of disney music this way. Also, you can find very cool items such as tv soundtracks, which include every song played in a particular season of a show. It can save you thousands in cd's and movies too, whi...

Initially the hotel when we were having lunch they brought candy like that around so we were expecting just your basic mini snickers, hersheys, mr. goodbar etc. While volume was good, the quality was not. We were getting items that looked like they came from the dollar store. Out of the entire bag, ...

How much scaling back is disney doing?

So I was up for the weekend doing mickey's not so scary halloween on friday night and food and wine saturday with a group of friends. Besides the almost non-existent lines for rides and light traffic in the parks, we noticed quite a few areas scaling back. For MNSSH, we understood as a special event...

Sadly they do not serve the half yards anymore, or at least they were not this weekend. We were hoping to get one but were sadly told they don't serve them any longer.

Boilerbabe, my college days are over too, so for us it's all about pacing ourselves. If you start early enough, it's not that bad. Mexico is the way to start, easy and light stuff, even with the margaritas added in. The key is making germany be late afternoon for the heavier beers. And yes, we actua...

Metal, seeing as how it's your 21st, I hope you do the beer crawl around the world at epcot. We do it every year during food and wine and it's a blast.

I miss that ride and was so ticked when I found out it was going to close. As a little kid I went on that before the grand prix cars and thought I really was driving. Not to mention the old school black light styling was very cool.

I like both very much, but I gotta give the nod to illuminations. I especially like the extended holiday edition. I've made a point to get up there every christmas for that. The finale with let their be peace on earth gets me every time.
