Disney World PF Gathering and Tips for Disney Mania!

  • Thread starter ZapperZ
  • Start date
In summary: This couscous and tagine restaurant is quite popular and usually has a long wait. Try coming at night when it’s less crowded.9. Yacht Club at the Epcot resort – This club has a beautiful view of the fireworks show at Epcot. However, this is a “resort” so it’s quite pricey. You may be able to get in if you call the club in advance and ask if there are any openings.10. The Living Seas – Usually there are long lines for this aquarium, but it’s worth the wait. You get to see all kinds of neat fish and amphibians.

Those are great photos you have. Keep them comming!

OK, here's one more. These are the lighted arches at Epcot as part of their holiday decorations. At various times, it blinks and flickers in intricate patterns to the music being played.

Ooh, they'll have monitors up for guests to see her! We have to see the baby elephant! Awwwwww. The last baby elephant I got to see was over 20 years ago at the National Zoo, and it didn't survive. :frown: I hope this one fares better.

Happy first day of Winter! Brrrr... it's cold over here.

Hopefully, this pin being released today will make it a little bit more joyful.

Moonbie, maybe we'll park the car and meet you in the lobby, since we also want to take a look at this! :)

Wow! Look at this. It's a framed pin set featuring 15 pins with various characters forming the letters "Walt Disney World". Gorgeous! It's also expensive, $175!

Since I've ran out of wall space, both at home and at work, I probably won't get this. Moonbie, you should get it!

:)

Ooooh... now this is different!

A couple of pins will be released on the 23rd. They're gorgeous by themselves, but there's more!

The first one is a picture of Sleep Beauty Castle at Disneyland with Mickey in the foreground.

A second pin with a similar them has Tinkerbel instead.

(she has those eyes again, Moonbie)

But here's the COOLEST part about it. These two pins forms a larger puzzle. They actually fit with one another!

What will they think of next to make us part with our money?

The sad part about this? It's only available at Disneyland!

Looks like I will have to get my "connections" over in LA to go get me these.

This is the CD cover for the Holiday Wishes CD released at WDW. I hope they are still selling it when we're there. I would buy it just for the cover alone. :)

Awww... this just melts my heart!

They're already releasing pins for Pooh's 80th anniversary next year. This one is a cutie. It is out today at Disneyland. Now let's hope WDW will be releasing one there too.

OK Moonbie, I have an assignment for you when we get to Disney World. I want you to stare at every pin lanyard worn by a Cast Member and see if you can find this pin. It is a cast member pin being released on the 27th, and we can get it only via trading.

I want this pin! :)

If you are lucky enough to be on one of the Disney cruise ships over the holiday season, you will have a chance to get this pin. It is being released only on the Disney Wonder and Disney Magic cruise ships.

Here's something you can do on Christmas Day if you get bored with the relatives. :)

"Modern Marvels
Disney World.
Premieres:
Sunday, December 25 @ 8pm ET/PT

Journey underground and backstage at the technological marvel that is Walt Disney World. Enter a make-believe world spanning some 27,000 acres, brought to life by cutting-edge technology. What was once Florida swampland now boasts the world's largest theme park. The ride technology ranges from space-age centrifuges to enhanced motion vehicles powered by 3,000 PSI of hydraulic pressure. And hundreds of audio animatronics brought to life through the power of pneumatics, hydraulics, and electrical systems. Walt Disney World is made up of four separate theme parks, each with its own innovations: the 107-acre Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. The four parks are all part of a megaplex of a resort. Twice the size of Manhattan, it was the final vision and crowning achievement of a man who spent more than 40 years pushing the limits of technology to create entertainment magic: Walt Disney."

Zz.

If you did not miss this program, you'd would have seen a very well-done documentary on the evolution of Disney World. For anyone not familiar with the park, there were a lot of unfamiliar facts about the origin and construction of the various theme parks at WDW, especially on the construction of the Magic Kingdom where the guests area is actually the 2nd level. [Cast members call this the "on stage" area]

This is a terrific interview with Don Grady, who was once one of the original Mousketeers, and now writes music for several major Disney projects. His view on the early days of Disney and his encounter with Walt are just priceless!

Whoa! There's someone in Whitsett, NC who might be a bigger Disney Freak than I am!

It is cute, though. Wish I have a barn that I could decorate like that. :)
