OMG! I can't believe how lucky we are. A stranger gave us Fast Passes for Star Tours; just a 20 min. wait instead of 80 min. This has been an awesome day!
On this day in 1928, Walt Disney premieres the first animated short with a synchronized sound track. Steamboat Willie features a promising young character that we have all grown to love. Happy Birthday Mickey Mouse!
Not renewing ours in Dec. Have to wait and save $. Hopefully they keep the payment plan. - DznyHeart82.0 #3257 8-4-10 9:10AMLike Reply
I was told today by the travel company that park hopper prices online will

We just watched an episode of Pawn Stars; they bought a set of Disney figurines that supposedly were made for a Disney theme park in Italy that never materialized. Now I'm wondering if Disney really ever planned to open a park in Italy or More...
Sounded like a line/scam, why would Disney make merch for a park not even built. No markings on it for Italy and I can't believe the old man paid that much for them. - DisneyPhotoFan886.8 #100 7-12-10 8:28PMLike Reply

What a great day. I just found out that my husband ordered me an iPhone (finally I can post wait times ) and WOC picnic tickets for next weekend. Now I can use my iPod exclusively for work. I feel so lucky!
Just got back home from DL. We got to experience the Tomorrow Land evacuation first hand. At first they just closed EO and SM, so we went on the virtual version of Nemo. There were a ton of people in line when we went in, but we think th More...
Yeah, Briana and I and a friend were inside pizza port eating and they shuffled us out of there. We moved to tomorrowland terrace and we got moved from there to the main entry way into tomorrowland outside the Birthday Bash area. We sat there for a while and then walked to the Main Street RR station. The conductor there said it was a "security protocol in Tomorrowland" so the train was not running. We missed our ride on the Lily Belle but we had a great day otherwise! Just a lot of excitement! I noticed that I wasn't even scared during the whole thing even though it was obvious that it was a bomb scare or suspicious package thing going on. I think the magic of Disneyland prevents me from being worried about that stuff while I am there - Tammi1.8 #38379 5-13-10 10:36PMLike Reply
Since the bomb scare did the bag check outside the park change? Do they check more or about the same? Just wondering to get ready for next trip. - Lovetherat6.3 #8779 5-14-10 8:02PMLike Reply

It's nice to see that after being gone for many weeks, MW is still pretty much the same. The new lands are pretty cool! Has anything major happened since late March?
I just saw the promo for DisneyNatures "Oceans"; it looks awesome! It also showed clips of Walt and the True Life Adventures series. I miss those films!

My little boy and I had a wonderful day at DL yesterday. He saw Captain EO for the first time and I had my first Dole Whip (all the talk made me curious). Sadly, I'm dependent on free wifi, so no posting from the park. We saw something I' More...

I rode POTC yesterday and noticed two pirates (standing) where the dirty barefoot pirate used to be. I don't remember seeing them before; when did they move in?
The one who is holding the mug wasn't there for a while, but was back when I was there about a month ago. I didn't notice the second guy was missing or when he came back; it was that pirate-less tankard sitting there that gave it away! - Gruyère18.2 #5255 3-12-10 7:08PMLike Reply
I was on the 25th and noticed that there were 2 of them up there for the first time! I always look for the MIA pirate with the gross foot! - LizardBreath2.8 #36475 3-12-10 7:12PMLike Reply

We are thinking about taking the kids to see Alice on Sat afternoon, but we aren't sure if it's appropriate for six year olds. Can people who see it please post their opinion. Thanks!
I saw it n posted a review. Will find n bump - BLG1049.5 #82 3-4-10 11:03AMLike Reply
I have not seen it yet, but as with most movies, I think it depends on your kids and what u think is appropriate for them.... I say go see it first, then if you think it's okay for them, you get the bonus of seeing it again! - Princessatheart2.8 #36509 3-4-10 11:05AMLike Reply
I tried going to info@mousewait.com to order buttons, but I can't access the site. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Yeah that's not a website. It's an email address. In order to buy buttons you have to have a paypal account. With paypal you send money to someone else and you use email address to tell paypal who to send the money to. Info@mousewait.com is how to send money to mousewait to buy buttons. Paypal is free if
you don't already have it. - Markandmylady86.7 #3194 3-2-10 2:01PMLike Reply

The kids and I went to the mall today. We stopped at the pizza place and I ordered a Greek Stromboli. My kids immediately had to point out the reference to Pinochio, and they server knew we were Disney people. He told us that he just got More...
Did anyone out there ever get to ride the Conestoga Wagons or Mine Train Through Natures Wonderland? I saw some video of these old rides on You Tube; it's kinda sad that there were Disney attractions that I'll never get to experience.
I rode the Mine Trains when I was a kid. Rode the original rockets too. Threw up when I got off and it wasn't the MW sign either. - Coaster9149.1 #1 2-27-10 5:10PMLike Reply

I know we already have a reigning queen, but Ferris did such a good job of promoting MW that maybe he deserves a title as well. Perhaps Lord (no, not D-lord) or Duke or something? Or maybe Town Crier?

I really have to say that the music from Remember Dreams Come True fireworks is my best memory song since it was the first really big thing I shared with my daughter at Disneyland.

Oh yeah, my MR is finally a whole number! I've been so busy at work this week that I haven't checked in here as much as I'd like. I wish I was at DL right now celebrating.
We just dropped off our luggage at the GC, got my bday button. The weather is Beautiful! My sister made a scavenger hunt for our group of four, leaving for that now
