What have you still not done?

There have been so many changes since 2003 (the last time I was at WDW) that I wouldn't even know where to begin to mention the things I have never done...

We haven't gone to Le Cellier either, but then again, we live in Canada, so I guess we go to Le Cellier all the time....

You were there since I have been, we last went in 2000. I kinda feel the same way!

My in-laws don't live/work there anymore so it's harder to get out there...

I can't believe you hadn't been on Dumbo before you were in your 30's!

I was always more of a thrill ride kid.

Plus the line is always something heinous like 2 hours. So last trip during extra magic hours at 2 am when there was no line, I finally hopped on.

I really want to have tea at the Grand Floridian. I did it once many years ago when my cousin got married there and his wife (then fiancee, obviously) had a "bridal tea" there a day or two before the wedding. I loved it and have begged my husband to go there with me, but we've never gotten around to it. I also want to do the Spirit of Aloha dinner show. Now we're saving these for our anniversary trip in August.

We love the thrill rides, so sometimes we don't take the time to do the little things. We haven't seen most of the shows, parades, Tom Sawyer Island, or Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse. We're trying to visit at least one or two new thing each trip - that's fun. This also includes things that we don't do every trip, like character meeting and Dumbo, for example.

Same here, just add Disneyland and California Adventure to it.

We saw Luxo on our last trip, when you and M-dude were there! We were told the same thing, that he was reitred, and one evening when we were exiting TSM, there he was!!! I was so excited! I took a bunch of pics. and some video on my camera. He was too cool! When did hear he was retired?! Hopefully they will keep him around!

I liked it, but I prefer Carpets. It bums me out knowing they're going to turn Carpets into another Dumbo. For Dumbo, I almost wished I had gone on during the day, so I could have gotten some pictures of Fantasyland from that angle, but I don't ever want to wait.

Matt Hochberg aka Subsonic Quick Gold reported it on Studioscentral.com (website owner). He has the inside scoop on all things WDW Studios and tweeted it yesterday. Apparently it is due to the lawsuit with the Luxo brand lamps. Really silly. They are suing Disney because they used/sold the Luxo lamp. See link below.

You would think they would enjoy the publicity knowing fans like you and me would potentially go out and buy a Luxo Lamp! Of course the suit could be a formality to claim royalties on the profits Disney collects on the brand.

But, that is all neither here nor there and not related to the thread.

I didn't know that! I guess it makes sense and all...I went on the carpets with my brother-in-law and we had a blast! (I let my hubby go with our niece

, but she likes to torment me on Dumbo

)

What a bummer!!! Luxo was so cool! You would think, like you said, they would want the publicity! So, no more Luxo, for good?!

I don't know if it's set in stone, but that's the active rumor over at screamscape.com. Carpets will become the dueling Dumbo once it's moved over to its new area by the Barnstormer. I have no idea if they'll do anything with the space in Adventureland or not.

We've never spent time in Innoventions. I don't know if we're missing something? Or if there's really nothing there worth taking time away from the rest of Epcot (which is pretty terrific).
