James, next time you visit the Magic Kingdom, you should take the Keys to the Kingdom Tour. One of the stops on that tour is the Utilidor system, allowing you to see the underpinings of the park in person. Everyone I know who has taken the tour has loved it.

I also wanted to add that this episode of modern marvels is one of the best specials I have seen on WDW and I thought it was quite thorough.

ok, I should be getting the DVD from Netflix any day now (it's at the top of my queue, I have 2 movies going back later today, and new ones should be sent on Friday). Once I get it, should I record the audio on it to give to Sub (kinda like a Vacation Planner video)?

That would be a 90:00 min. track all together. It would take a while to break it up too. But yeah it would be cool to have it on the request list.

I especially though it was cool how they discussed the construction of the Magic kingdom

it wouldn't be that hard to break up. I made the Vacation Planner video tracks, both the full versions and cut-up. I just played the video twice. once I let the recorder run straight through while watching for cues on where to cut, then on the second pass, I cut it up, pausing the movie and creating a new track before continuing. did the same thing for La Nouba (not the version that's already in there, but one that hasn't been added yet)

That sounds like fun! I have always wanted to do a tour where you got to see behind the scenes stuff.

Disneyland is the best!
