Walt Disney World and Disneyland(s) Discussion

[smitty]

Need a favor, anyone that visits DL often know if this book is available? Looking to purchase for my wife if anyone is willing to help.

I ordered a copy on Barnes and Noble.com for around $25, said they'd be shipping in late October. At the park it's $40, but has been selling out. I'll be there next week, I can check for you. PM me if you'd like.

My gf and I are flying to Disney World tomorrow. Assuming our flight doesn't get cancelled because of the hurricane. *fingers crossed*

Yay! Hope all goes as planned.

It did not. She was too nervous about flying down there with the storm coming so we rescheduled for next year.

I'm bummed out about not being able to try the food at Epcot's International Food and Wine Festival. On the bright side we'll be able to check out New Fantasyland and attend Star Wars Weekends next year.

Oh rubbish! I work for a private Jet company in NJ and it would be fine to fly today..just not late night..and once you get to VA its clear skies..plus in a commercial Jet you are well above the storm anyway..you would have been fine with a smooth flight

 

[Apone]

That being said...I would be a nervous wreck no matter what the forcast says..but for Disney I would do it

Aww, sorry to hear but I agree with Apone...Disney baby! Also doubt I could have convinced my wife to reschedule it, haha.

Hope Sandy doesn't knock out the power.

That would be a helluva view.

Cool paintings!

New at Disney World recently are changes to Pirates of the Caribbean. Well... additions actually. Pirates 4 featured Mermaids so they added a spooky moment of mermaids swimming around your boat. You also see a skeleton of the mermaid on the beach. I hear the whole scene is now SUPER creepy which should be pretty cool.

Check it out!


In other Disney news, Tom Hanks is playing Walt Disney in a film about the making of Mary Poppins. He'll be at Disneyland November 6-8 to film on location as Walt. I'm not sure what lands he'll be in but everything will need to look like it did in 1961 or something.

I saw the mermaid video on YouTube and I really like it! I hope they will at it to Disneyland Paris.

A few shots I haven't shared here yet (I think).

Those are awesome!! I stopped by Disneyland a few hours yesterday and gone are all the Halloween decorations. Christmas isn't completely up but it's very much there!

Santa Goofy is already meeting guests.

In support of Wreck-It Ralph, you can meet Ralph and Vanellope Von Schweetz.

Why is she so freakishly scary?

You can also play old school arcades again

As well as Fix-It Felix

Oh and they were taping for the Christmas special... here's The Backstreet Boys

 

[cokebabies]

Oof, Ralph's hands look rough.

 

[Kamandi]

Is the arcade a reworked Flinn's?

 

[Coheteboy]

No, Flynn's Arcade was converted into the MAD ARCADE as part of Mad T Party in California Adventure.

The Wreck-It Ralph meet & greet takes up a section of the Starcade in Tomorrowland.

Disney is costly. I'm not proud of it but years ago it would be nothing for me to get hammered at Epcot. In fact I went there to get hammered and enjoy the worlds brews and spirits at my leisure. One night I was so drunk I passed out on spaceship earth and they just let me ride around in circles until I woke up.

Again if people have the money to go to Disney they have the money to spend $7 on a drink and get loaded. Although I'm sure my stupid behavior is rare. Not some of my proudest years.

just to imagine this made me lmao

Currently at WDW right now. Got to preview the new Fantasyland yesterday. Very cool, I also noticed they added floating candelabras to the stairway/footprint scene in the Haunted Mansion, don't remember ever seeing those before. I can also verify the mermaid swimming next to the boat and the skeleton of one on the beach as well as Davy Jones being replaced by Blackbeard and the eerie mermaids call/song during the whole intro scene.
