Re: Share of cruise profit

Re: The World of Color

Thanks Wayne, that sounds great! The lake at Epcot is so large compared to DCA's so it will appear larger just from the fact you'll be closer to the action. I hope they sell the desert premium seating option for this show. Having just visited DCA it really this type of attraction. The crowd that mov...

Re: Trip Report - Disney Boot Camp 2009

Regarding the Mia (the 2yr old), her favorite ride was probably the Hotels slide to be honest. The line was very short and she just loved the fact she could go slide down by herself! Pirates of the Carribean she was saying....no slide....no slide....we found that if we told her a slide was coming up...

Re: Disneyland Resort Restaurant Review Thread

My mother had the Monte Cristo in 87 so when we were in Disneyland Last week she had to have it again. It is the most horific made in america meal I have ever seen. It has a following, almost like an attraction in itself.

Re: HKDL @ Chinese NY?

HKDL ia great, we stayed at the Dinseyland Hotel and i would stay their again in a heart beat. Much closer to the park than the Hollywood Hotel and less tacky. We did visit the hotel just to check it out, it had much less character. The Disneyland Hotel was a magical 10 minute walk, through lovely k...
