Hmm I wonder why it isn't.... It is a worth it wait so much fun especially when u get highest score in the car hehehe - mickeyat  345.1 #436 6-17-13 8:29AM
At WDW, this is a FP attraction. Once the FPs are out for the day, the wait time is actually longer than DCA's. - BaseballMickey_CM  2993.9 #15 6-17-13 8:53AM
Toy story mania is a fun attraction with everyone trying to get a high score. Im glad its not fp cause in wdw it makes the wait longer, remember fp sets aside a # of seats per day and toy story mania is sorta a low -med load attraction so fp would limit the board # per hour for stanby. The attraction average wait time is 40 minutes then you are good 60 + minutes its a busy day in dca. The attraction advantage is it can be programed to change to new games which we say when they removed the bo peep pop ballons games . - pikarich  677.6 #158 6-17-13 9:17AM Like(4)  Reply

What i CAN share with you is disney left the number 1401 with is the shuttle you board on the spaceport is the same one with r2 and c-3po in the main entrance room. our pre captain rex is found in the queue line but is labeled as defective and if you listen to him closely he will spark every few minutes and speak a line from the old star tours. There are two hidde mickeys in the line , one is from the luggage scanner and the second is on the video moniter hallway every now and then r2 appears and tops ,turns and pulls out two arm and turns them into a circle sideways making a hidden mickey from a few seconds. before officially relaunching disney had a contest to ap to ride star tours and even today even after entering every last contest open to ap have not won yet. they estimated about 100,000 ap previews with cm previews too.thank you - pikarich  677.6 #158 6-3-13 10:31AM Like(3)  Reply

Have to watch the cartoon still. I just love all those old shorts. So much fun. I LOVE the cabanas at the DL hotel! Best kept decently priced secret if you ask me. As much $ as we spend elsewhere in the parks on food and souvenirs, and for the rooms themselves, I just think this is a great deal! $110 gets you a half day rental, either 9-1 or 2-6 pm. I think the full day is $165, from 9-6. We have rented the cabana several times this past year, and never regretted it. Fridge stocked with water bottles, and they bring you a fruit bowl. Ceiling fan, as you mentioned, plus the TV. Also a safe that you set your own combination to, so you can lock up your valuables and not worry about them. (In case you want to wear your diamond necklace to the pool, but not necessarily in it! 😂). Of course, you can order drinks and food. It's nice to have a big coffee table, cushioned couch and love seat, two lounge chairs and a big basket of towels. I definitely recommend an afternoon rental of a cabana if you are staying at the DL hotel. They allow up to 6 people in them at a time, by the way. - meridafan  1099.7 #74 5-29-13 11:16AM Like(3)  Reply

I miss the mine train! While I love BTMRR, I have so many wonderful memories of riding the mine train with my parents. As a kid, my parents and I took road trips every year and the mine train was such a great reminder of some of the amazing sites we had seen. The cave as you enter BTMRR is a tribute to the mine train, with the glowing stalagmites, stalactite (yes, that's how it's spelled!) and springs. The whole area was incredible, with the pack mules and stagecoaches! It, along with IASW and POTC were my mom's favorites....they were entertaining but not roller-coasters! IASW has not been a favorite of mine, although I love it at Christmas. But it was a must every trip with my mom! My fondest recollections involve the later years when my dad and my daughter would nap on it while mom and I sang along with the soundtrack! I vaguely remember the animation building...I preferred rides at that age! - Gia  794.1 #122 5-28-13 11:21AM Like(5)  Reply

Another awesome memory! A few of us who were attending UCI at the time, ditched classes (and right before finals!) to ride Space Mtn. on opening day! No lines back then so we rode it over and over again. We were given free tshirts (I still have mine, just don't know where it is) and bumper stickers commemorating opening day. No music back then, and the queue had windows where those waiting in line could see the "rockets" zooming around. When I was hired as a CM the following year we had a tour of the attraction then rode it with the lights on...which is quite scary! The tracks seem soooo close to each other! The best memories I have are riding it with my dad...seeing him with his hands in the air and laughing made it even better. - Gia  794.1 #122 5-27-13 11:38AM Like(12)  Reply

🎶Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee...🎶 🎶Davy...Davy Crockett, King of the wild frontier! I remember watching the show. Fun memories! I'm pretty sure I saw Pinocchio that first year I was there at Christmas time with my whole family in 1983. I definitely remember that Mickey Mouse theater, too. Loved it, but I love Pinocchio more. So that was a good change. Thank you for another trip down memory lane, Duchess! 😘 - meridafan  1099.7 #74 5-25-13 10:24AM Like(3)  Reply
Wow a triple play Duchess !! I remember reading somewhere that the demand was so high for coon skin hats that they sold out worldwide supply as a result of Davey Crocket mania - polo33  20.1 #5141 5-25-13 1:25PM Like(1)  Reply

I hadn't been there probably since I was a kid, until our visit back in March when we met up with a friend and her son and took the kids over there. They had a lot of fun! It's a great way for them to get their wiggles out and run round lîke maniacs! You should do it. - meridafan  1099.7 #74 5-25-13 10:35AM

I love these early animations. I noticed the animators worked on synchronizing the music and sounds with the animation. This was such a new medium at the time and animators were often in unknown territories of drawing, art, and music. It's so cool to see how this developed into what became Disney animation. Thank you SMK for taking us back to another great day in Disney history!! - MyPark  946.4 #94 5-8-13 7:09AM Like  Reply
From what i read, it marks a turning point in animation style. Beforehand, characters would start & stop almost mechanically. Norm Ferguson (one of the animators) developed a style where the characters never completely stopped, but when one part would stop another part would start moving, making the whole movement much more fluid. Disney liked the effect so much he made all the other animators study Ferguson's style. - Duchess_SMK  3548.0 #10 5-8-13 7:53AM

Did you know that the actual Tower is one of the tallest buildings in Anaheim? Also, because of its height, it would have required a light on top for the pilots flying over if the height went over 200 feet. So, Disney made it 199 feet tall, thus not requiring a red light and to keep the tower in "show". - BaseballMickey_CM  2993.9 #15 5-5-13 9:21AM Like(2)  Reply
