Greetings. Can anyone tell me when It's a small world refurbishment is expected to complete? I noticed it was listed on the front page as being closed. The four year old has insisted. Thanks MW. You rock.
I "think" the 28th of Feb. not 100% sure, I haven't looked at Disneyland website for a week or two - GarnerPhotography321.4 #518 2-6-13 10:28PMLike Reply
So I'm turning the big 40 in February and was thinking about spending it at DL. This would be the weekend of Feb 17,18,19,20th. I know som schools have this time off. Anybody know historically what the parks are like over that weekend? More...
As far as the park goes, I have no idea. Weather should be getting warmer, but too cold to swim, definately sweater weather at night - MJisMM31.0 #4332 1-9-12 1:00PMLike(2) Reply
I'm up on the Central Coast and my kids have those days off. So i would guess it's going to be pretty crowded - MissyluvsDisneyland357.6 #396 1-9-12 4:25PMLike(1) Reply

My family is coming down from Alaska that weekend. The Saturday is forcasted to be the busiest. We are thinking Friday is going to be the lightest traffic we get in the park. Most APs are blocked. There is no way really knowing for sure. - AKMouse376.5 #364 1-9-12 4:55PMLike Reply

It's great seeing all these new MW peeps. Scrolling down the first page of the lounge and I didn't recognize most of the names. Every since the server switch I've been absent. Glad to see all is well and rolling right along.
So it seems like the lounge is sort of fixed except no comments show up on the main page. I suppose I'll just have to click on everyone. Welcome back MW Peeps.
I'm already home and in my pajamas. A little dinnersome MW and maybe an episode of the Wire. What's in store for your evening?

So what did everyone get for Valentines day. Share your special thing. I got the standard dozen roses and a yummy chocolate cupcake. Happy Valentines mouse wait. Love ya!
So when you park at DL do you back in to your space or just pull in? I'm curious as I notice the people who back the cars in are in the minority. Just wondering. Have a great day!

Happy Holidays. Here is a great article in the NYT about lines at the parks. An underground high-tech nerve center at Disney World addresses the most low-tech of problems: long waits.

Some of the near-future tracking measures they are speculating on seem a little unwelcome. Like wristbands that carry your identity and visit history, so characters can greet you by name, and know how many times they have seen you before. Future developments like that remind me of the all-knowing, all-seeing TV network in the old Max Headroom show (anyone remember that?). - mistereeyore78.9 #3299 12-28-10 9:51AMLike Reply

Hello MW. I need to get a great basic pancake recipe. I always have a problem getting them fluffy. Any recipes you could share? Thanks.

I just buy pancake mix at Trader Joes- the healthier whole grain one in a tan box. Yummy and fluffy - sandra_d332.3 #462 10-10-10 11:40AMLike Reply
I use allrecipes.com and there is a recipe for pancake mix. You can make a bunch up and use as needed. Cheaper than bisquick and works well. Self-rising flour is a good tip Butterlina. I'll try that next time. - Suzie-Q434.3 #288 10-10-10 8:12PMLike Reply

They are actually hiring people to start cleaning up. It's temporary but it is work. They r gonna train, pay for flight, food and certify u. Cousin received info on it.

I love it during that time of the year. They have all the decorations out and it just feels special. However, it can be really busy because of the holiday season. Especially during the weekends! I would try to go on a regular weekday if I were you to avoid the crowds. They'll have extended hours all throughout the week too. Dress warm cause it does get pretty chilly, but it's perfect with a nice cup of hot chocolate. - tina1154.7 #70 4-28-10 1:52PMLike Reply
