No. Sorry if I'm not being clear on this point. What I meant was, Disney (Walt and the Company) have these "formulas," these ways of doing things, all planned out and in action well before a major social event (i.e. the release of the Star Wars franchise) brings them to the forefront of the...

Actually, I never said or implied anything to begin with. I simply read something that caught my eye and decided to copy it and share it with the Forum members to see what they say or imply. Second, according to the information on WDWMAGIC.com regarding Space Mountain, "Space Mountain...

Today, I received the April 29th, 2002 Time magazine, which covers the newest Star Wars move, The Attack of the Clones . In it, they have a side topic block called After Effects (pgs. 64-65) which details the influence of the Star Wars films on movies and other business issues. In one of the...

Re: Re: What's it Take to Pilot a Monorail? *(Ticking requirements off in head)* Valid driver's license...check; 18 years of age...almost check (7 months!); pulse...double check; minimum of half a brain...um...still checking...hmm, can't tell...i think so...:brick: :hammer: Thanks guys...

Lol, Grizz. My sentiments exactly. I snapped that pic when I was last there in 2000 and FINALLY got a scanner to import it. Not one of my best, though. Perhaps I should post an avatar from Kilimanjaro Safaris...every single one is somehow of animal butts...:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Thought of another one! This one really applies to me: You have the numbers for Priority Seating, Reservations, and WDW Lost & Found set to your cell phone's speed dial buttons, even if you're last trip was two years ago.:hammer:

You know how to perfectly write every character's signature, even though you've never worked there or seen The Book.

Out of nothing more than blatant curiousity, what does it take to become a Monorail Pilot in Walt Disney World? If any current or former CM in Disney Transport can clue me in, I'd be most appreciative. I scoured this Forum trying to find some already-posted info relating to this topic, but...

Once when my family and I were at the Magic Kingdom, my youngest brother, then about 6, asked if we could go see/go on "Big Lightning Mountain." We all figured that he meant Big Thunder Mountain, and was confusing the two words out of a misunderstanding. So, my Dad asks my brother to lead us...

I think that all things considered, Disney Transport does a phenomenal job. Walt Disney World is larger than some cities here in the U.S., and has a matrix of roads, destinations and departure points, all of which need to be carefully monitored and serviced regularly. Needless to day, the...

Even though I doubt that anything like that would ever happen, I'll admit that it got me quite a little bit worried. I mean, it would be complete mayhem and anarchy! Thousands of monorailers standing around waiting for the buses! Hundres of additional rental cars taking up valuable spaces...

My vote goes to Russia. Here's why. First, it would coincide nicely with Mission: Space. Seeing how the focus of Mission: Space is space exploration past, present, and future, and how a part of that is the International Space Station (ISS), Russia would fit in nicely, as it was once the...

The Segway is a great idea, to be sure. However, I doubt that Walt Disney World will really make use of it. For one, how would you incorporate it into a show or a parade? Unless they plan on decking them out with glitter and sequins and other props to hide the sleek design and make it a part...

Re: Chinese Theater???? As I understand it, the Sorceror Mickey Hat is a permanent addition, but like all things in Walt Disney World, it's only permanent until the Guests begin to complain, lose interest, or both. If you've noticed, the Gift Shops all carry merchandise featuring a...

The replica of Mann's Chinese Theatre is an obvious classic and has been for the longest time the prominent building in the park. It is without a doubt the Cinderella's Castle or the Spaceship Earth of the Studios. Disney-MGM Studios is the realized vision of the "Hollywood that never was...
