  1. Did I miss it? When did China stop being a communist country?
  2. If you look at the artist impression of the Shanghai Disney Resort, it shows very little detail, except for the castle, which BTW, will be the largest Disney castle. One thing that it will not have is Main St. USA. The reason that details regarding the attractions are not being released is that when they announced the park in Hong Kong, they were specific about the attractions and another company opened a park before the Disney park that just happened to have knockoffs of the the Disney attractions.
  3. What brings you there so early? If you want a coffee even earlier at the MP, there a couple of more places that open before GCC.
  4. The August 16th is the latest target date. The original cast of characters is being blended into a witty and up-tempo show. It will also introduce several new features and choreographed musical numbers.
  5. You can now rent a premium space at Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach water parks. The premium spaces allow guests the opportunity to enjoy a reserved lounging area that will leave them more time to enjoy the water parks! You can take in the rays in your own personal upgraded lounge with an attendant available and you won?t have to get up to get your own meals. Premium space amenities include attendant, locker, all-day drink mugs, cooler with bottled water, upgraded lounge furniture and towels. Premium spaces can be reserved for a full day in advance or on the same day, based on availabili
  6. Gee, back down to 99. How'd that happen? Besides, both of us have way more respect than either one of us deserves.
  7. Internally, nothing has shown up regarding any new DVCs or Poly refurbishment. Not that there isn't anything in the pre-construction or planning stages, but I'll wait for the official release. It would be unusual in these times for Disney to go ahead with everything that is being rumored. It makes good reading for the Disney junkies though.
  8. Florida Hospital in Celebration is the only one we've used as it's very close to us. Don't know how it ranks with others though. http://www.celebrationhealth.com/
  9. Los Angeles Times (Home Edition) - April 05, 2011 - p B-3, Business; Business Desk By David Pierson, BEIJING Disney to build park in Shanghai. Walt Disney Co. will hold a groundbreaking ceremony Friday in Shanghai for a long-awaited theme park and resort, sources close to the matter said. The event could mark the end of 16 years of speculation over when Disney would begin building its first theme park in mainland China. The $3.6-billion project was first discussed in 1995 and would be the company's fourth theme park and resort outside the United States. About 1,700 acres have been designated
  10. Jen, I came up with fourth one and updated the post.
  11. These are diagrams of the four sites. I'm guessing everything out side the lines is comman area and is up for grabs by whoever gets there first. Premium site Preferred site Full hook-up site Tent/pop-up site
  12. Come on people, rides like Mr Toad, Snow White, and yes, Small World have had their turn. Time to move on. You can ride rides like that at most large regional amusement parks. WDW is better than that. They were ok in the 70s but it's 40 years later.
  13. Lightning McQueen is leaving his meet and greet location at HS, April 8, to undergo a makeover for his new movie Cars 2. He will be returning to the Studios with both a meet and greet and an added appearance in the Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show beginning in June. Lightning McQueen will be replacing the Herbie the Love Bug scene in the show. During Lightning McQueen?s absence, Tow Mater will continue to greet guests at Luigi?s Garage through April 17 and will roam the park to make appearances until April 30. Tow Mater will return in June and join Lightning McQueen in their new meet
  14. To me it seems like they've been playing that same annoying music since 1956. It's way over due for a complete overhaul. If I never hear it again, it'll be too soon. I guess after the first hundred times, it gets old. How's that for an opposing and snarky view.
  15. Maris, Mantle, Cash, Colavito, and growing up 30 minutes outside of Boston, Ted Williams. Unfortunately I remember them all. I guess I should be glad that I do remember them.
  16. I'll be right back. I have to go poke my eyes out so I don't accidentally catch a glimpse of a Soft Ball game as I flick to the real baseball games. That goes for soccer too, and I'm a native European.
  17. I'm glad you've seen the error of your ways. Remember when at WDW, the buses rule the roads. Stay clear of them. Seriously though, I get just as annoyed with other bus drivers as I do with regular drivers. Many drive too slow. Many are too timid. Many don't speak english well enough, but that's a whole other subject. And too many are just bad drivers. I wish Disney would spend as much time weeding them out as they spend on making us do non-driving crap. You wouldn't believe some of the ridiculous stuff that we have to do that has nothing to do with driving.
  18. Oh that was you. I swear I didn't see you. The way you described it, they were slowly moving into your lane, it sounds like they wanted you to, as I said before, speed up or slow down in order to get out of their way. If you ever intend to report a driver, not only do you need the bus number, you need the correct time to within 15 minutes because in another 15 minutes, that same bus could have a different driver. So then it could be one of two drivers. Not sure anything would come of it anyways.
  19. They do, but I like to see the peoples faces when I pull into their loop. Actually, I usually stop by on my way out from work. I'm exempt from driving internal Fort routes.
  20. The only buses I've ever driven are the WDW buses. I'd like to test drive one of the Lynx articulated buses. And I'm guessing they have the same policy. Don't get yourself into a situation where you have to backup.
