Re: Mindflipper's Trip from August 23, 2013

Nice summary of the Steam Train Tour mindflipper. I don't think I remember nearly all those facts from my tour! It really was neat to see the inside of the locomotive :D You didn't get to go up in the cab when you did the tour? BTW you were the one who gave me the idea. This trip was a father-son t...

Are you sure it needs to be AVI? It's not a compressed file format like WMV or MP4. Check YouTube to see what file formats they accept.

Re: Mindflipper's Trip from August 23, 2013

How was the cell service or did you go wifi since it is a data heavy app? I don't have a smartphone. I'm rockin' it old style with my mobile. Having been in the parks with the Mousekecouple and Len90, the one thing I have realized is that cell service for AT&T iphones can really suck in the par...

Re: Mackinac Island Trip Report 9/9-9/13

From my past experience with FB, you want be able to upload there either. I uploaded some small videos with music one time. Only three got uploaded, not the fourth. They sent me a message the fourth was rejected because it had copyrighted music. The other three probably did too, but it was somehow m...

Re: Mackinac Island Trip Report 9/9-9/13

Glad you had a fabulous time at Mackinac Island! Horses are brighter creatures than most people give them credit. If B-dude's horse sensed he was uncomfortable and didn't want to be there, maybe he was trying to find a way to help B-dude not be there and be more comfortable on the ground! ;-) I've n...

Re: Mindflipper's Trip from August 23, 2013

Probably a decent number went back down to reception to straighten it out if they wanted to use the linked card functionality, but not necessarily for that transaction. It probably has the same issue every other high volume service has when it is just starting the roll out, they can prepare for the...

Re: Dive Quest Question

I'm not sure why they say "Observation Deck" b/c if you basically go to the large aquarium, walk all the way to the end, you will see the divers descend/ascend. When they take the DQ crew to the tank, they parade you through the Living Seas. It's a hoot! You hear little kids saying "...

Re: Mindflipper's Trip from August 23, 2013

I love the pics!!! And the pillows look like a wheel of cheese. Yummmmmmm, cheese. Nope, not cheese. You must live too close to Wisconsin. One of the four yellow round pillows actually has a rough sketch of Mickey's head on it. It doesn't show up well on the pic. But unlike the Yacht Club room from...

Sorry you experienced technical difficulties! There's more to technical difficulties with the MagicBands. After doing the online check-in, and then doing it all over again upon arrival, it still didn't work. I tried to purchase something at the Fantasia gift shop on the Concourse and the MagicBand ...
