Here's a clip from the Gears Behind the Ears about the Disney Pyro Team. You can see the air launch rigs, and there's a little clip of the old days when the shells were hand lit! http://youtu.be/eQuR_PBPE4g - NotSoDapperDan313.5 #561 12-25-12 8:20PMLike(1) Reply

Congrats! Just watched Guys Disneyland Christmas special last night where they did a whole segment on the candy canes. The two CMs that make them have been doing it for 38 and 23 years. It's a really amazing process. - buzzlightear31.1 #4405 12-23-12 9:37AMLike Reply

Costco's in Utah currently have a 4 day park hopper for $259.99. It also comes with a $50 Costco cash card. First day must be on or before Feb. 18 2013. fyi those in the area.
We spent last thanksgiving at Disneyland and didn't feel it was to bad crowd wise, we had a lot of fun. Were thinking about going this year for Christmas. Any predictions crowd wise for the the 20th-24th?
It will be very crowded. That's why all APs are blocked except for premium. - ScooterMike1959.8 #37 9-30-12 1:37PMLike Reply

Have you ever been to WDW? What were your thoughts compared to DL? I have the chance to go this summer and am excited, but all I have ever known is disneyland...
Be prepared to walk more than you've ever walked in your life and to experience the highest levels of humidity ever. Otherwise, have a great time! - susieQzee486.6 #251 4-6-12 10:24PMLike(2) Reply
went there last NOv. 2011 and it was good, Christmas decor is UP over there... REMEMBER TO DRINK A LOT OF WATER, DO NOT WEAR JACKET (Loose clothes preferably), AND BRING AN UMBRELLA!... Disneyland and Walt Disney World have their own characteristic so it is hard to compare both... WDW offers more attraction compare to Dland, but at Disneyland, you are like walking with Walt's Footsteps. - otilegna1072.0 #81 4-6-12 10:31PMLike(2) Reply

How do you pay for your disneyland trip? In other words, what do you do for a living? (If your a stay at home mom, i'd count that as a full time job.)

We play 20 questions Disney style. We play it everywhere we go really. One person thinks of a Disney or Pixar character and the others ask only yes or no Q's! It's the best time killer ever. Well aside from MW. - Minnieday300.1 #627 2-23-11 6:36AMLike Reply
