I took first-timers in December and the dragon got stuck. They had no idea anything went wrong and were incredibly impressed with the production values and the entertainment experience. The show hits on the 'casual' Disney fans buttons of the picturesque nighttime spectacular -- pyrotechnics...

Caveat 1: 'Hollywood accounting' is built to obfuscate the true tallies of such things so that media companies don't have to pay out huge royalties. Companies are going to 'spin' budget numbers to serve an interest that may or may not be reflective of the truth and may either over-inflate or...

The official site said that MSEP is staying on an extended run; can I assume that Wishes will return on August 15th as planned, though?

We've taken trips to WDW in December, February, and late August, so we're familiar with the crowd levels then. In 2011, however, we're planning on going April 2nd through the 10th. In 2011, Easter is on April 24th. Any idea what the crowd levels are like in early April when Easter is in late...

Took half a dozen trips during the 12 years The Timekeeper was operational in Tomorrowland at MK and never saw it :cry:

This is true. Finding Nemo, Shanghai Knights, PotC: Black Pearl, Chicago, and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (perhaps others that I'm forgetting) were added during a 'recent' rehab, which was circa 2005 IIRC, while other film clips were taken out (Cocoon...

I've been there for ESPN The Weekend 4 times (2004, 2005, 2007, & 2009). I watch a lot of ESPN, but I was at Disney for a week to experience the parks and attractions and shows and restaurants and resorts. Our family vacations at WDW just happen to fall during ESPN The Weekend some years. Our...

I have a tough time buying that many of you who express this sentiment sincerely believe it. Raise your hand if you leave the parks in disgust when you're a resort guest and EMH start as a show of solidarity with the people who stay at the Quality Inn on 192.

I live in southeast Michigan and we don't have any snow here (:D), but I watched Toy Story 1 & 2 last night.

FWIW, I've seen this sentiment a bunch of times in this thread, so I'm not picking on you :animwink: ...but Disney has definitely given serious consideration to doing exactly what the OP wants. This is my 2nd post here and both have linked to JHM, so I hope it doesn't look like I'm spamming...

I agree. I don't think a channel many people are describing here has a broad enough appeal for mass cable distribution. There just isn't a large enough market. Having said that -- and I'm surprised no one mentioned it yet given the medium we're all communicating on :D...there's a perfect...
