I just read an online article by Sam Webb in the British Mail stating that Paramount Pictues has announced plans to build a 872 acre, 2Billion British Pound theme park outside of London to compete with DLP. The announcement included plans for the largest indoor water park in the world...

Oct 1st - special suprises at MK? Oh, I'll be there...but I don't expect anything as big as Epcot's 25th. The 40th just isn't really big enough to warrant too much. I do expect them to mention it, however. They will, because they know how many people are coming that day that are aware of it...

Thanks Steve, Notifications like this is just ONE reason this is the BEST WDW site! Paul

Hi Len, While I've been to WDW dozens of times, I'm new to this site and your Unofficial Guide. In the past I've read Burnbaum, etc. but I can't wait for my next trip because it will be the first time I'll feel really prepared! I'd recommend your book and this site to anyone (WDW multi-timers...

Right after the movie came out, my family was at Epcot. They asked volunteers to participate in an experiment. My young daughter (and several others) wore a Virtual Reality headset and "found" their individuals ways through the marketplace in search of the treasure (btw, she was the only ne to...

Hall of Presidents - Hey, its dark to me with my eyes closed as I nap!

Hi Oriolesmagic, Not making fun of you at all! I'm a born and bred Baltimoron now displaced in Indiana (NO, I did not follow the Colts to Indianbapolis - LOL). Go Orioles!!! Paul

Complete with Boog's Bar-B-Que & Natty Bo? And, while they're at it, let's add a dark ride based on John Water's films to DHS. LOL Paul
