Interview the person below you...

The premise of this is very simple. You ask a question, and the person after you answers your question. Then that person gets to ask another question.

Do you rent a car when you go to WDW?

[Stitch]

Never (not yet anyway)

If the family was all planning on going, but staying off site, would you stay with them or book a villa and just meet them in the parks?

[DiZ NeE 08]

Dang that a tough one!!! I think that since I don't have enough points and I have a pretty big family, and my g/f doesn't feel comfortable sleeping in the same bed with me while family is around. I think I would lean more to booking a villa and us staying there alone but I would probably sneak my nephews in. lol! just so that they could see the room and the view!!!

What would be a perfect day at disney to you?

[ghost1000]

Getting onto Toy Story Midway Mania without any wait at all, several times. And throw Tower of Terror and Rock 'n' Rollercoaster into the mix, getting onto those several times without a wait too. (guess which park I'm going to for my birthday Fastpass).

On a completely different subject--

What did you have for dinner last night?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I made some home made pizza and ate with my family.

What is your favorite TV show?

What is your favorite attraction in any of the parks?

[AFMom]

Expedition Everest!

What is your favorite attraction that has been (sniff, pout) taken away??

[DiZ NeE 08]

Horizons. I dont think that many people liked that but I was a little kid and I loved the fact that you could choose what you wanted to do and then see it.

What is your favorite disney cartoon movie?

[ghost1000]

Sleeping Beauty. I'm a real fan of Maleficent.

And I really liked Horizons.

[ghost1000]

Poly.

On a similar note, what is your favorite DVC hotel?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I haven't stayed in any yet! but I have seen, and visited mostly all of the major ones, and I love the Wilderness Lodge and AK. but WL beats AK by a mile because of Whispering Canyon being so close. lol!

Buzz lightyear space ranger ride or TSM?

[ghost1000]

Toy Story Midway Mania


What size DVC room do you usually get?

[Stitch]

Always a studio, due to our meager 150 points and desire to go to HHI at least twice a year.

OK, what if there was no DVC and you didn't own an interest in a vacation home in WDW, what do you think you'd do for vacation? Something completely different? Still go to WDW and find a different timeshare? Buy a summer house in a beach community somewhere?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I would probably still go to disney but stay as I always have in a value resort and then not go to disney for like 1 1/2 - 2 years and stay in a moderate or deluxe resort. lol! I would basically have to save up or spend A LOT more money to stay at a nicer resort.

Blizzard beach or Typhoon lagoon?

[ghost1000]

We've only been to Typhoon Lagoon once, and it was for an evening activity call Goofy's Mystery Tour. But I really like the look of Summit Plummit, so I'll say Blizzard Beach.

[7swans]

Nope

Poncho or umbrella?

Boardwalk Bakery or Starring Rolls Bakery

[ghost1000]

Do you walk from BWV to DHS or boat?

[AFMom]

Walk

Cook Breakfast or Character Breakfast?

[7swans]

Character Breakfast ( I cook breakfast at home! )

Splash Mountain or Space Mountain?

[Niki]

This is a tough one! I'll go with Space Mountain. No wait, Splash Mountain. No wait, Space Mountain. :silly: This is so hard. I'll stick with the coaster, Space Mountain. It is the first ride I always go to in MK.

What ride to you hit first in MK?

[ghost1000]

I don't always hit the same ride each time, but it's usually either Pirates of the Caribbean or Haunted Mansion.


Have you ever ordered the personalized park maps from the WDW website?

[7swans]

Yes
Have you tried a segway?

[ghost1000]

Yes, we did the Fort Wilderness Segway tour in January 2008.

What is your favorite musical group in World Showcase?

[DiZ NeE 08]

What is your favorite musical group in World Showcase?

I have never heard of a musical group but I would like it if someone can tell me about them. I was reading the at BWV now thread and she was talking about off kilter which sounded pretty cool! but never heard of any.

Star Wars or Harry Potter?

[ghost1000]

That's a toughie, but I'll say Harry Potter by a slim margin.

Have you ever done a Grand Gathering?

[kathyseb]

Yes. Did a few different ones the Dec trip with MO's.


Have you ever done any of the tours WDW offers?

[ghost1000]

Plenty of tours. Our first was Keys to the Kingdom, and our last was Backstage Safari.

Have you ever visited a "foreign" Disney park?

[Niki]

No, but am planning a trip to Hong Kong Disney next year.

How many parks are at HKD?

[ghost1000]

There's only one park in Hong Kong. But I think there are a number of hotels.

Are you looking forward to doing the new Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure??

[7swans]

Yes! I am hoping some of the students going on our 2009 trip really get into it too.

Have you ever rented one of the watermice boats?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I have never rented the watermice boats, but I have always wanted to(way too expensive for my taste) on a trip with my brother and his family, we rented a pontoon boat and went fishing.

what is your favorite snack that you must get EVERYTIME you go to disney atleast once?

[Stitch]

Well, it's hardly a 'snack' but an ice cream meal at B&C is on the short list every time.

If you could have your dream job, what would it be?

[KevinZ]

My dream Disney job would be to be CMO!

How old were you when you first went to WDW?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I dont remember this but, my mom told me she took me a month after I was born in 1988.

which would you prefer VWL or AKV? state why if you can.(i'm deciding which one to make a reservation in.)

[ghost1000]

VWL in December is the best. But if you don't own there, don't even try to get a reservation in December.

But we're hoping to get AKV Savanna view for our trip in October.

I know my answer doesn't help, but take it for what it's worth.


What is your favorite experience in Epcot?

[KevinZ]

What's not to love in Epcot?:confused24: I love world show case. England and Germany.

If you were in charge of WDW, what added service would add for guests?

[djplong]

For a small premium, I would allow a guest to order a "FastPass Itinerary" for one park for the day. The guest would check off which FP rides they want to make sure they hit and roughly what time of day (and the size of their party) - maybe a kiosk in the lobbies validated against the 'keys'. You would get ONE FP for each ride you wanted. Multiple keys could be swiped so that groups could go at the same time. This would prevent situations like I saw in another thread where all Soarin FPs were gone within 2 hours of the rope drop.

What's the one 'secret' at WDW that you don't want too many people to find out about (presumably ruining the fun for you with too many people)?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I would say DVC!!!!!!

what did you do the first time you stayed in a DVC resort? For example; did you spend more time around the resort enjoying the fact that you are staying in a Deluxe resort?

[Niki]

My first stay at a DVC resort was HHI. We spent quite a bit of time at the resort, but the thing that made the biggest difference for me was the level of service. The CMs made tee times for me at alot of nice golf courses. I got great discounts for golf and restaurants. The activities were great, like a dolphin cruise and horseback riding on the beach at sunrise. I need to get back there soon. It has been a few years.

What accommodations did you reserve on your first DVC trip, and where?

[DiZ NeE 08]

My first DVC trip is actually this weekend from Feb 7-8, then May 3-10, and then again in Dec 6-13 woot! woot!

What rides have you bought a picture in?

[idratherbeinwdw]

The only one I myself was in that I bought was from Test Track. But I bought pics of my kids from TOT, Space Mountain and Splash Mountain.

Where and what is your favorite Hidden Mickey?

[DiZ NeE 08]

thats funny that you ask that question because my g/f and I purchased the book for the hidden mickeys and haven't found many but the one that we found without the book which we think is cool. is the Mr. Toad statue in the Haunted Mansion graveyard on the way out.

Flower & Garden or Food & Wine festival?

[Niki]

Food & Wine

Which is your favorite Epcot pavilion? Why?

[idratherbeinwdw]

The US pavillion because I love both the American Adventure and The Voices of Liberty.

Other than Walt, who is your favorite Disney Imagineer?

[ghost1000]

I think it's the dear departed Marc Davis.

How many Imagineering Field Guides do you own?

[idratherbeinwdw]

Two and I have read them both at least three times, fascinating stuff. (I have the ones for MK and Epcot).

Other than Stitch, what's your least favorite attraction and why?

[nono]

Grand Prix Raceway/Autopia/whutever it is called now...

What's with the rail in the middle? The cars are already governed...let us loose!!!!! (No fun if I get behind someone who stalls...can't get around 'em. And esp. with the wait time, I'm not getting in line with the kids again).

What's your favorite "small" attraction at DL/WDW?

[AFMom]

The Storybookland Canal Boats at DL.... I love that ride.:goodvibes:

Favorite spot at WDW to watch a sunset?

[idratherbeinwdw]

At the beach at the Polynesian Resort.

Weirdest thing you ever saw a guest do at WDW?

[Niki]

A group of men in their 50's pulled out a jibbie at the BWV quiet pool jacuzzi and asked if we minded if they smoked.

Beer tasting or Wine tasting in World Showcase?

[ghost1000]

I don't like beer, so for me it's Wine tasting.

Do you own any Disney stock?

[Niki]

No

If my paralegal goes to a DVC resort for the first time renting my points, which one should he stay at? Why?

[idratherbeinwdw]

From your point of view OKW since the points are lowest there.
From his point of view BWV or BCV because they are convenient to 2 major parks.

What's your favorite place to view illuminations from?

[jiggerj]

My balcony of course! :D

If you only had ONE hour in ANY park what would you do?

[kathyseb]

Grab a margarita and sit on the bench in Norway staring out at the water with Ron next to me.

Breakfast in your room or eat out?

[ghost1000]

Both.

Do you have a favorite restaurant at WDW?

[athenna]

Jiko.



What is your favorite entree in WDW?

[ghost1000]

Its not an entree, but an appetizer. It's the Bisque de Homard (Lobster Bisque) at Chefs de France. But if you insist on a main course, it's the breakfast skillet at Whispering Canyon Cafe.


What's your favorite attraction in any Disney theme park?

[idratherbeinwdw]

Tie between Haunted Mansion and American Adventure

Other than a Travel/Touring Guide, what Disney related book is your favorite?

[KevinZ]

Charles Ridgeway's Spinning Disney's World.


What's the weirdest character interaction you have ever had??? (keep it clean)

[djplong]

Having over a half-dozen characters posing in a semi-circle around my then-4-year-old daughter (she's now 21) at the Studios. They were headed 'backstage', presumably at the end of their shift, and we got them *all alone* for a picture. If I think of it, I'll have to upload it - I have a scan of the old polaroid. It was very surreal..

What do you hit *last* before leaving for the airport/train station/long drive home?

[DiZ NeE 08]

Toy Story Mania!!!

was anyone at disney this weekend for the american idol preview? (I was there so I will post the video on youtube in the next few days for everyone to see.)

[ghost1000]

I don't watch American Idol, so I didn't see the preview.

Have you ever seen Finding Nemo, the musical? What did you think of it?

[DiZ NeE 08]

well, I have seen the Disney finding nemo show if that's what you are talking about the one in Animal Kingdom.

have you ever been to another park(not Disney) and felt that you betrayed Disney?

[ghost1000]

No. The parks that are "local" to me (HersheyPark, Great Adventure, and Dorney Park) don't have the Disney themeing. And I've been to Halloween Horror Nights at IOA, and we ended up leaving early.

Have you ever listened to the Dapper Dans?

[idratherbeinwdw]

Yes, just recently in fact, last week of january. Adore those guys!

What's your favorite live act in Epcot?

[ghost1000]

It used to be the living statues. But now it's British Invasion.

Have you ever met or seen a celebrity at any Disney park?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I saw the lady that does the disney christmas day parade with that other guy! well, we saw her on "it's a small world" I don't know who she is but my g/f went crazy. lol!

would you rather ride the RailRoad at MK, Monorail, or the bus? (this is just for like a ride not to go anywhere specific.)

MOnorail

[KevinZ]

First it's taking a second and enjoy Main Street and the view of Cinderella's Castle. From there it's off to Adventure Land and Pirates.

What's your favorite counter service in world showcase?

[DiZ NeE 08]

My favorite counter service in World showcase, now thats hard. I would have to say Japan(teriyaki chicken).

if you could go back in time would you still buy into DVC? would you buy more points?

[PoohsPal]

Ummm...In the process of adding on now. COuld not have afforded more points at first buy, though, and had no idea how DVC would make our addiction grow, although we were warned.

If you could go back, would you have a different home resort?

[ghost1000]

I'm very happy with OKW and VWL. I'd like to add on at both AKV and BCV, but it's not in the cards right now.


Have you ever stopped to listen to Sunny Eclipse at Cosmic Rays?

[DiZ NeE 08]

Yup! he's pretty cool! and interactive!

has anyone ever run into or found the little trash can robot? it's the little guy that moves and talks.

[ghost1000]

That's PUSH in the Magic Kingdom. His counterpart at Animal Kingdom is Pipa, although I did see Pipa once at Downtown Disney. Pipa is a trash/recycle bin.

Have you ever seen Wes Palm??

[DiZ NeE 08]

I didn't know that was the name for the living walkin greenery but now I do. I have seen it by the yak & yeti area my g/f loves how they can do they that.

HS or AK?

[idratherbeinwdw]

HS

What new character would you like to see added to the parks?

TTA or Stitch's great escape.

[athenna]

TTA



Wishes or Spectromagic?

[idratherbeinwdw]

Spectro Magic!

What's your favorite live action Disney movie?

[djplong]

I like a lot of them for various reasons but "Tron" is a geek-favorite of mine.

What's your favorite ride/show/attraction that isn't there anymore?

[ghost1000]

It's a tie between the original Journey into Imagination and 20,000 Leagues.

Do you have a favorite restaurant at WDW?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I don't have one favorite restaurant but in MK we love Crystal Palace, in Epcot Teppan Edo, in Animal kingdom and HS none yet, but I would say Whispering Canyon is one of the best.

which is your favorite princess?

[ghost1000]

Long story--

When I was young, my mother made me take ballet lessions. Precotious brat that I was, one year I asked my instructor for the "pretty music ever written." That was the year I danced to the Sleeping Beauty Waltz. Ever since that time, Princess Aurora has been my favorite Disney princess. But I think it's because Maleficent is my favorite Disney villain.

What's your favorite Disney villain??

[DiZ NeE 08]

Chernabog!!! Rawr!

what is your favorite disney prince? if you have one.

[idratherbeinwdw]

Aladdin

What's your favorite Disney Song? (From any source, parks, movies, etc.)

[DiZ NeE 08]

I love the spectro magic and wishes songs

[7swans]

Fantasmic!
Which Female Character do you think is the most beautiful? (to me it is the Blue Fairy in Pinocchio!)

[idratherbeinwdw]

Pocahontas

What's your favorite Pixar Film?

[DiZ NeE 08]

Toy Story!!!

has anyone had interaction with the Mr. Potato head? he was really cool when we went he talked back to you and cracked jokes and actually noticed when someone would laugh at them.

[7swans]

I had to go & look at James & the Giant Peach to see if it was Pixar, and since it is not, I chose Toy Story!

Which is your Favorite Pixar Film?

[Niki]

Monsters, Inc. I think that an inverted coaster based on the scene where they are riding the doors would be great.

If you could develope a new ride, what would it be and in which park?

[DiZ NeE 08]

that's a tough one, my g/f loves the carousel of progress and we have been hearing that they are removing it but don't know what will replace it. I would have to say something of wall-e in that same space.

what is the resort that you think is best for relaxing?

[ffpmme]

Wilderness Lodge, it tucked away so you can sit on the beach and not be disturbed. Far enough away from any park to relax. But easy to get to a prk if you wanted to. Plus since it is a little out of the way, it has to be a destination of people not just a place people pass through to get to somewhere.


What resort is the worst for relaxing?

[ghost1000]

Toy Story!!!

has anyone had interaction with the Mr. Potato head? he was really cool when we went he talked back to you and cracked jokes and actually noticed when someone would laugh at them.

I was disappointed that Mr. Potato head didn't react when we brought potato chips to eat in front of him.

What resort is the worst for relaxing?

Probably one of the value resorts.


Have you ever visited the various resorts in December, just to see the holiday decorations?

[ffpmme]

...Have you ever visited the various resorts in December, just to see the holiday decorations?

Yep, go to every one of the Deluxe resorts, and next trip will go to the Moderate.

I think the worst resort would have been the Contemp. Everybody goes there and, loud and noisey, but vaules would rate that also.

What is your least favorite mode of transportation?

[DiZ NeE 08]

walking! :rotfl2: I think the worst is when you stay at the all-stars and all 3 resorts are one stop in every park and you have to wait 6 buses for you to get on one, and mostly when people with a wheelchair or scooter come and cut infront of everyone with a groupd of like 10 people and they cut everyone. but other than that the buses of the all-stars.

Has anyone else felt the same way about the wheelchair or scooter guests that skip infront of everyone with a HUGE!!! line to get on the bus? I get upset because I have been waiting like 20-30 mins for a bus and then they come with a huge party and then there's no room for those that have been waiting.

[idratherbeinwdw]

Toy Story!!!

has anyone had interaction with the Mr. Potato head? he was really cool when we went he talked back to you and cracked jokes and actually noticed when someone would laugh at them.

I didn't think it was really Mr Potato head reacting, as the voice is that of
Don Rickles and it's recorded in advance. I think it's just a coincidence when it seems he is really talking to someone.

If someone knows for sure that I am wrong please let me know.

[idratherbeinwdw]

I never had a wheelchair party of 10 cut ahead of me. 3 or 4 yes, but not ten. No I don't get annoyed because I would rather be standing waiting than need to use a chair to get around. I have read of people who don't really need a chair using one to get around the lines, now that's just wrong. Karma will get those people. :blech:

What's your favorite time to visit WDW and why?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I would have to say it is the first or second week of christmas, because of the fact that it is not that busy, MVMCP is going on and the Osbourne spectacle of lights is on too. not that many people in the parks with all the benefits.

what is the worst time that you have been to disney? except for summertime.

[KevinZ]

Is there a worse time? I'd say the last time we visited it got down to 40 degrees, so that wasn't good.

Do you take the buses or rent a car?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I usually use the buses but I will use my car if I am either A. running late, or B. Don't feel like waiting for a bus.

MNSSHP or MVMCP?

[ghost1000]

MNSSHP


Have you ever watched Illuminations from the Rose & Crown?

[idratherbeinwdw]

Yes at least 5 times. Most recent time was with JiggerJ and JDVM last year.

What song that used to be in an attraction, but is now gone, do you miss the most?

[ghost1000]

One Little Spark
In fact, I miss the whole original Journey into Imagination



When was your first trip to WDW or Disneyland?

[DiZ NeE 08]

My first trip to WDW was while I was still in the womb, and the first year of birth. I still have the map of epcot of that year.

do you take a camcorder to disney and videotape everything that goes on while at disney.

[djplong]

Don't remember my first trip to DL because I was so young (1960s - we lived in San Francisco and used to go down a couple of times a year).

WDW, however, is a different story. We were down there just after it opened in 1971 - went on a lark flying from NYC when my grandmother in Boston told us not to come up one weekend because one of my uncles decided to take her along with the family to "that new Disneyland in Florida". She was more than a little surprised when we showed up at her hotel.

Who's your favorite character that you just don't see in the parks anymore (but used to see - i.e. the heroine from "Atlantis" who's name escapes me)?

[Niki]

Stitch, other than on that aweful show.

I video nothing.

Anyone still use a camera with film?
Posted via Mobile Device

[ffpmme]

I did. But it was not working correctly and need alot of repair so I sold it on Ebay. Probally shoudl have kept it. :blush:

I would prefer to get an ice cream sandwich, made with fresh cookies at the bakery, but I tend to get a dole whip instead (unless Doug wants to split the ice cream sandwich with me).

What would be a good activity for the DVC News meet in October?

[DiZ NeE 08]

maybe a dinner or it could be a meet up at a park and maybe we could do some kinda of activity like I have read drink around or eat around the world in epcot. or maybe if the group is small enough to fit in a jungle cruise boat we can do one boat. if not then that ideas out the window.


I would prefer to get an ice cream sandwich, made with fresh cookies at the bakery, but I tend to get a dole whip

where can I find this cookie ice cream sandwich? (my g/f is mad because they no longer sell the one in the stands so I would like to surprise her with one.)

I think it would be Canada. We enjoy the movie there, and it would give us access to Le Cellier.


Have you ridden Toy Story Midway Mania yet?

[DiZ NeE 08]

Yes that is one of the coolest rides in WDW I think. Highest score of 297,000

what has been your highest score on TSM?

[ghost1000]

I always score in the 130,000 range, the few times I've done it.

Which attraction do you wish would revert to a previous version?

[DiZ NeE 08]

The living seas! I wish the scuba guys would still go up or down the tube in the middle!

what ride do you think is a must go?

[ghost1000]

It's a tossup between the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. (I'm guessing by "must go" you mean it's something you must experience, and not something that needs to go away.)


On a completely different subject, did someone in your family cook dinner last night, or did you go out to eat?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I went out to eat! I went to chilli's Bar & Grill with my g/f.

What is your favorite type of food?

[idratherbeinwdw]

Japanese

What is your favorite song from a Disney full length feature movie?

[matysgranma]

When you Wish Upon a Star

101 dalmations---animated or live

[idratherbeinwdw]

Animated

Toy Story 1 or Toy Story 2?

[DiZ NeE 08]

BOTH!!!!!! I love them! I even read online that they were going to make a Toy Story 3 so I am happily waiting to see that one also!

the wild or madagascar?

[Niki]

The Wild.

What is your favorite coaster ever?
Posted via Mobile Device

[djplong]

Has to be Space Mountain as that was my first coaster that wasn't "standard". It was my introduction to theming a ride that never really got 'themed' before (I was too young to ride the Matterhorn when I lived in CA). Space Mountain single-handedly raised my expectations of rides and roller coasters.

What's your favorite "dark ride"?

[DiZ NeE 08]

well, I don't exactly know what you mean but, I am thinking The Haunted Mansion! or Rockin RollerCoaster!!!

Splash mountain at night or day?

[ghost1000]

I think I've only done Splash Mountain during the day.


Who is your favorite Imagineer (living or not)?

[newjerseynick]

Who is your favorite Imagineer (living or not)?

If Walt doesn't count, I'd say Marc Davis for his contribution to 2 of my favorites, POTC and HM.

What is your favorite queue?

[kathyseb]

Has to be TSM

Walk from BW/BC to DHS or Boat?

[idratherbeinwdw]

Walk, (one of my favorite walks on property)

When you are there at park closing do you rush out to beat the crowd or do you linger until the park empties out a little? (or are you in the middle of the pack attempting to exit?)

[DisneyGeek]

Linger to exit.

What is your LEAST favorite attraction @ WDW & why?

[Niki]

stitch. It is stinky.

What was your favorite Pleasure Island Club

[djplong]

Oh, that's TOO easy.. The Adventurer's Club - by a LANDSLIDE.

What should the basic theme for a 5th park be at WDW? Villains? Disney's 'America'? DisneySea? Something 'exclusive' like Discovery Cove? Something Else?

[Niki]

Disney Sea. Gotta compete with Sea World.

How many times have you ridden RnR in a row?
Posted via Mobile Device

[ghost1000]

Only once.

What's your favorite color?

[7swans]

Green
Which song do you like better "Biddity Bobbity Boo" (Cinderella) or "Friend Like Me" (Aladdin)

[KNWVIKING 2.0]

Friend like me.

Where is your favorite park restroom.

[ghost1000]

It's the one near Expedition Everest. I've been in that one many times.


How do you like the changes that were made to Pirates of the Caribbean?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I really don't mind the difference and don't see the difference really except for Jack in some parts and in the end room so I really don't see a big difference.

French Fries or Onion Rings?

[Colorado Belle]

Rings

Ever fall asleep on an attraction? If so, which one?

[KNWVIKING 2.0]

Yes, Ellen's Universe of Energy. People laughing at my snoring woke me up.

Do you buy McDonalds fries in the parks ?

[7swans]

I haven't but one of the chaperone's on last years trip did, he was snoring in the Carousel of Progress. When he awoke, he immediately began to sing loudly in his deep voice, "There's a great big beautiful tomorrow...." It was pretty funny. :)

Has anyone you were with ever participated in a World Showcase Players production?

[ghost1000]

Don't buy MacDonald's fries, and no one I've been with has been picked for a World Showcase production.


Have you ever personally ridden Dumbo, and if it wasn't in the Magic Kingdom, where was it?

[idratherbeinwdw]

Yes, rode Dumbo in the MK in WDW numerous times.

What's your favorite sequence in Philharmagic?

[KNWVIKING 2.0]

I like the part where people crowd the doors in the pre-lackofshow waiting area wanting to be first in to get a good seat. My next favorite sequence is yelling at those people, telling them to move their butts all the way to the right.

Do you use the coffee packs they put in your room ?

[DisneyGeek]

Nope- don't (usually) drink coffee.

Do you regularly book DVC @ 11 months out?

[DiZ NeE 08]

we booked out first trip about 2 months in advance, then 4 months for the trip in may and then 10 months for our Dec trip. but then again we just signed up for DVC in Dec.

Jurassic park or Dinosaur?

[Niki]

Dinosaur

What is your favorite background music in the parks and/or resorts?

[7swans]

I love the music in Frontierland.

Do you cry during the One Mans Dream movie?

[KNWVIKING 2.0]

No.

Do you ?

[7swans]

I do!

Have you ever braved Summit Plummet?

[KNWVIKING 2.0]

Yes, several times.

Which do you prefer: TL or BB ?

[DiZ NeE 08]

Umm I don't remember TL but I recently did BB and it was pretty cold but I did Summit plummit 3 times and then I gave up cuz the ride up I would freeze every time!

has anyone done the snorkeling thing in TL? is it any good?

[Niki]

It is very cold.

What is your favorite coaster at night?

[jiggerj]

Splash Mountain

Have you ever run into someone you know at WDW that you didn't expect to?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I have actually run into my brother and he didn't tell me that he was going which was kinda messed up!!! but he didn't want our parents to know.(my parents always try to tag along on trips and they tend to cause A LOT of problems.) an my g/f has run into a friend of hers that went to work for disney a couple of years ago.

Buzz lightyear or Woody?

[ghost1000]

Buzz


Do you have a favorite Disney restaurant?

[DisneyGeek]

Tough one. I have three, but at the moment I'm craving a Cobb Salad & grapefruit cake so I'll pick Hollywood Brown Derby. [the others are Whispering Canyon and Biergarten]

What is you favorite NON-thrill ride?

[idratherbeinwdw]

POTC

How much would you be willing to pay per night if they start opening up the Cinderella Castle suite for booking?

[DiZ NeE 08]

non-realisticly(not sure it's even a word) but I would pay $300. but realistically I think it would be around a couple grand. maybe like 2-3k maybe even more. but I wouldn't pay the prices for the Grand Floridian or actually I think that even the deluxe resort prices are HIGH so thats out of my reach. thats why I bought DVC.

I always do EMH at Epcot and fall asleep last ride on the Ellen ride. lol!
what rides is a for sure rest ride for you? basically what ride do you tend to fall sleep and rest in?

[DisneyGeek]

I don't fall asleep, but DW & LOVE the Tomorrowland Transit Authority and usually ask the CMs to let us stay on two or three times straight! :-)

How much demand do you think there would be for a pets allowed DVC property?

[DiZ NeE 08]

ummm.... not really sure!!!!!!!! but, I would say that whomever takes their pet to disney that would be a good idea and a good thing. plus the fact that they would save money on the kennel things. which is another bonus.

do you think that they will ever extend the Monorail?

[7swans]

No too expensive.

I think there would be a great demand for a resort that allowed pets, but I imagine the Maintenance Fees would be huge!

Do you buy lottery tickets every week?

[KNWVIKING 2.0]

Don't buy lotto tix. In fact, when the jackpot is huge, everybody at work kicks in $5.00 and they buy a couple hundred. I make a show out of taking $5.00 out of my left pocket & putting it in my right one. The morning after the lotto drawing I make a show out of taking my "winnings" out of my right pocket & put it back into my left.

If you do play, what's the most you ever won ?

[7swans]

I do not, can't stand to part w/ $ knowing it is almost certainly for naught. DH plays sometimes & years ago early in our marriage when we were really struggling financially, he got 5 of 6 super lotto #'s correct. He had hand picked them and was 3 numbers off on the last # to be called. He won $1,000.00 which I allowed him to waste. Turned out winning that $ was just enough to put us in a higher tax bracket. It ended up costing us $ to have won!
I will spend money at an event like a reverse raffle or something for a charity or cause, but to me that's a donation & not the same as gambling.

Have you ever been to a to casino?

[KNWVIKING 2.0]

Yes. I live 30 minutes from Atlantic City. Just recently spent two nights at the Showboat for my anniversary. We do gamble small amounts. I don't mind losing $20.00 but I can honestly say that overall, I'm up several hundred dollars. On the anniversary trip I won $85.00. Best part about casinos is the food. I have never had a bad meal. Even the chicken tender platter at the fast food location in the Taj was fantastic.

Are casinos good or bad for state economies ?

[DiZ NeE 08]

lol! I think that if I ever meet you viking it will be an amazing meeting. lol!

I have never played, but when I was 7yrs old I was given a lotto ticket for my birthday and I won 4 bucks with it. which to me was amazing back then I couldve bought a bunch of stuff with that.

if you were to win the lottery whatever amount would you take it all at once knowing that the taxes would cut the money drastically or take it in installments over time?

[DisneyGeek]

Ooooh, two open questions!

Casinos- probably good for the local state. LOTs of people leave Ohio to go to surrounding area casinos; why not keep it all in state.

Lottery winnings- I'd take it all at once. In most economies I think I'd do better paying off debts, buying a few toys (new care, more DVC points:thumbsup2:...) and then banking and investing the rest, assuming it was a BIG win! :yahoo:


If you 'retire' or otherwise move to Florida and were 'close' to WDW, would you sell your DVC and go for day trips only?

[idratherbeinwdw]

Probably yes, I would sell if I lived close enough to visit easily.

What's your favorite non-park thing to do when you visit WDW?

[DiZ NeE 08]

something that I would like to do non-park wise is probably go to the hiking trails at the resorts. that would be cool! I loved going to Fort Wilderness and riding my bike around the whole place, and then going to the night campfire activities.

Dang! sorry I skipped a couple of questions but my internet was messed up! and I am talking about really messed up. I finally got it fixed!!!

rain forest or T-rex?

[DisneyGeek]

I'd like to try T-Rex; I liked the RF in DL and I'd go back but it didn't captivate me.

Rent a bike or a watercraft?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I have rented a watercraft before, so I would have to say that rent a watercraft.
just kidding you see I mixed up the two threads. lol!

dole whip or regular ice cream with toppings at mrs. pots?

[ghost1000]

Dole Whip


How many times have you been to WDW and is there anything that you have not done yet that you really want to do?

[ffpmme]

8, Aerosmith Rocking Roller coaster

What do you regret doing at WDW? Show, attraction, other things. :rolleyes::covermouth::poke:

[DiZ NeE 08]

OMG!!! Watching the High School Musical Street thing. I don't like the music but I do like the dancers. lol! My g/f is really a kid! she has to have been really serious in another lifetime because she's a little kid. I personally think that she never got A LOT of attention when she was a small girl but hey thats me. shes 21 yrs old but not that age at heart.

what age do you think you become when you are at Disney?

[MiNniE 08]

Yes I am a kid at heart!! Thank you very much! I am personally 6 years old at Disney.. lol

What ride are you afraid of???

[idratherbeinwdw]

I am a big chicken when it comes to any Coaster, but I'll say Expedition Everest seems scariest.

What's the most number of times you've gone on one attraction in one day, and which attraction was it?

[DiZ NeE 08]

please don't throw rocks or don't throw anything at me but, in busch gardens theres a ride thats called Sheikra. well, I have been on every seat of every row in that. which is 24 seats!!! lol!!!

what is the craziest ride that you have been on?

[MiNniE 08]

Sheikra!!! Scary stuff!! :w00t:

What ride do you think needs a serious face-lift at MK?

[ffpmme]

Space mountain, but that is geting one. So, peter pan.

What ride/attraction needs to go away. Any park.

[idratherbeinwdw]

Stitch Stitch Stitch--PLEASE GO AWAY :blech:

Who's the leader of the club that's made for you and me? :D

OK, kidding.

The real question is: If you had unlimited funds, but you still had to live wherever you live now, how often would you visit WDW?

[ffpmme]

2-3 times a year. I would like to experience it in the other festivals. F&G, SWW. I have never seen them. Other then that, I would be seeing the world with Adventures by Disney or on the Disney Cruise Line. And I would buy more points. :silly:

Please pass the Disney-Aid !!!! :biggulp:

What ride/attraction that if you could bring back, what would it be?

[djplong]

I'll combine it with another question to answer - Horizons should come back AND be refreshed. Hard to imagine that a pavillion that wasn't open until a year after the park opened was demolished less than 20 years later. Nothing against "Mission Space" - just that "Horizons" shouldn't have had to be erased for it.

How would you improve the transportation in WDW?

[riley70]

For actual transportation, I would extend the monorail to DHS. This may not count as tranportation, but I would build more walking paths (Wilderness lodge to TTC, AKL to AK park, etc). Might not be possible, but I would try.

Question: If you were a CM at Disney for a summer, which ride would you like to work?

[ghost1000]

I would do the Ad-Lib program. That's Adventureland and Liberty Square, and I would like to work at either the Haunted Mansion or Pirates of the Caribbean.

I have a friend who's a Cast Member at WDW, and he's shooting for Ad-Lib.


Have you ever watched any of the Sounds Like Summer performances at Epcot?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I have no idea what those are. lol! but I would like to see what they are. lol!

if you could have one thing from disney right now! what would it be?

[idratherbeinwdw]

Mark, the bass player from Off Kilter

How long is the longest you have gone without visiting WDW since you have joined DVC?

[ghost1000]

We're in the longest time right now. We left WDW on 11/3/08 and our next trip isn't until later this month. We were going in January, for the Expedition Everest Sneak Peak and then the Pirate & Princess Party.


Did you get your copy of Pinocchio yet?

[MiNniE 08]

Yes I did. It arrived in the mail yesterday along with an exclusive Pinocchio Pin. =0)

What ride would you absolutely hate to be closed in all of WDW???

[DiZ NeE 08]

HTH or RNRC or EE if any of those are ever removed I will never forgive Disney!!!!!

if you lost your job and haven't been able to find one would you cancel an entire disney trip? or atleast cancel all your ADR's?

[ghost1000]

I wouldn't cancel ADRs until closer to the trip. If you cancel the trip, just be sure to do it before the 30 day deadline.

But gas is much cheaper than it was a year ago, so driving from Miami to Orlando won't be as expensive. I would keep the reservation. Besides, I have a personal reason--we're going to meet in front of TSMM at 8:15 on Saturday.


What memory of WDW stands out for you the most?

[idratherbeinwdw]

Wow that's a toughie, there are so many to choose from!
I'll go with getting into the hot seat at Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

In a similar vein, Tell us about a time a CM did something above and beyond the call of duty to make your vacation extra special.

[DiZ NeE 08]

I haven't had any real situation the only thing that maybe would count as this would be when I was 13 or younger I was in MK and I was eating a mickey bar and a guest bumped into me and made me drop my mickey bar and I was pissed!!! well, I told the person and they said sorry which didn't help because my mickey bar was still gone(I love those mickey bars. lol!) about 1min later of me watching people step all over it as people lined up to watch wishes a CM brought me another and told me not to worry about people like that. lol!

another situation was my g/f lost her camera and they didn't really do much except give us a manager fastpass to any ride in HS that day! we were upset because it never showed up and we had gone on that trip just to take pictures of everything that said MGM on it. lol!3

EDIT: oh! and getting dream fastpasses!!!!


now someone else tell us about a time a CM did something above and beyond the call of duty to make your vacation extra special.

[ghost1000]

Chad always makes our breakfast at Whispering Canyon Cafe special, but the last time we ate there he made it extra special.

I had asked for Chad when I checked in, but they assigned us to someone else's table. I said that I had wanted Chad, but it turns out he was booked up. But they went to him, showed him my name, and he made room for us (I think we were only a party of two).

And I had a "kissing contest" with someone who was down with us at the same time (it was Bambi from the 1900 Park Fare Cake thread:
http://dvcnews.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2239)

It was boys vs. girls, and whoever could kiss as many people during the week was the winner (the girls won). Not only did Chad let me kiss him (on the cheek), but he brought his Manager and the chef at WCC, and the Manager took me over to the bell captain's desk.


Who is the most prized character that you have ever met while in WDW?

[ghost1000]

I didn't realize my question would be the thread killer.

I've met Tarzan and Hercules, and I don't think they do appearances any more. But the most prized character was Maleficent. I met her at MNSSHP, and I got her picture and an autograph.


Which attraction do you do first at Epcot?

[MiNniE 08]

That is a tough question because I love meeting all of them.. But my FAVORITE CHARACTER has to be Mary Poppins!! I love her! I remember as a kid I would always carry around an umbrella and pretend I was her!! lol

If you could work at any park, in any position, what would you like to do at WDW???

[DiZ NeE 08]

Which attraction do you do first at Epcot?

we always do the ball first.


If you could work at any park, in any position, what would you like to do at WDW???

I would work in either HS in HTH/TOT or at MK in the HM

what ride would you like to work in?

[Niki]

RnRC. I just love Aerosmith.

Are you bummed Spoodles is closing?

[DiZ NeE 08]

Dangit! I can't beleieve that they are closing spoodles! since I have been listening to WDWtoday.com they have been saying that spoodles for breakfast is awesome!!! so I wanted to go there sometime in the future.

When you go to Disney do you change the fries for the apple slices for your kids? since the apple slices are healthy!

[ghost1000]

We don't have any kids, but I always get the fries.

Which WDW attraction would you like to see brought back, or brought back to its original format?

[DiZ NeE 08]

I have to give 2 answers to this. I would say the ride that I think is a must bring back is HORIZONS!!! and the one that they should take back in time is journey into imagination!

which ride do you think should be brought back or bought back to it's original format.

[ghost1000]

I agree with you about Horizons and Journey into Imagination. Figment just isn't the same without Dreamfinder.

I'd like to bring back 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and revert the Tiki Room to its previous version. DH would probably like to see Mr. Toad's Wild Ride brought back.


Have you ever spoken to an Epcot CM in their native language? What language and what was their reaction? (English doesn't count)

[DiZ NeE 08]

I was in the mexico pavilion and there were 3 CM's commenting on my shirt. and one told me that they liked it. it was star wars! and I told them thank you in spanish and that I knew spanish. lol! I also know a couple of japanese words.

have you ever bought a sombrero in mexico?

[Niki]

No, but I bought a wooden turtle once.

What is the best entertainment you have seen at the WS Pavilion?
Posted via Mobile Device

[DAK2005]

The Chinese acrobats.


If you have done the Dive quest in the Livings Seas. What was your most memorable part?

[ghost1000]

Just to keep this moving---

We haven't done the Dive Quest.


If you were to take a Disney character on a ride, which character would it be, and which ride would it be? I should note that you would be on the ride with the character, you wouldn't leave the character on the ride by him or herself.

[MiNniE 08]

I would say HTH or RNRC with any of the Princesses because I want to see if they can keep their character up.. LOL

Besides loving Disney... Why did you decide to join DVC???

[Niki]

I sold timeshares in college. Always thought it was a good idea. DVC points system was great. And I LOVE Disney.

Who is the hottest Disney "prince?"

[MiNniE 08]

lol.. I think Prince Adam (The Beast) is the Hottest when he becomes handsome again..

If you could give disney any idea that you think is great for a ride, or store, or anything you come up with, what would it be???

[ghost1000]

For me it would be a National Treasure ride, using the same ride vehicle as Indiana Jones Adventure/Dinosaur.


What is your favorite time of year to go to Disney?

[idratherbeinwdw]

Early in the Fall

What is the worst thing that ever happened to you on a Disney vacation?

[DiZ NeE 08]

The worst thing that has happened to me on a disney vacation has to be that I didn't pack enough socks. lol! (I'm a sock guy).
but the absolute worst thing that has happened to my g/f is that she lost her camera! and we had gone to MGM and taken all the pictures of everything that said MGM a week before they made it HS.

what characcter do you think you could play the best?

[idratherbeinwdw]

Interesting Question! I think I'd be a good Mickey Mouse. I'm the right height and weight and I know so much about him.

How many times have you been to WDW?

[DiZ NeE 08]

wow! you know I don't keep track but since I have been with my g/f in trip #'s it's been like 10-13.

how many trips have you taken?
