I am from New Zealand and most recently visited DL in March 2013 prior to that it was December 2010. I love DL so much and feel so privileged to have gone 3 times so far in my life. I def want to try for many more.
Hi it's been a long long time since I posted but its now only 7 weeks til we head back to the USA for the LA marathon and our Disney trip. My question is re photo passes. Is this worth getting as I don't remember seeing many photographers More...
Sure why not?! You can get your photos taken, and then view them online. You don't have to purchase them if you don't want to. But it's a nice option. I just purchased one from our trip in December and am happy with it. Good quality and it arrived within three days, standard shipping. - MousekaNinja330.9 #467 1-20-13 10:25PMLike Reply
Yes! Especially the PP+ pass. It's good for all the photos taken at selected rides and restaurants. Just 1 5x7 photo after say, California Screaming would be $14.95. The PP+ is unlimited attraction pics and park picks. Maybe you didn't see many photographers last time because you were too busy taking in everything else, but they're out there. :-) - Donna1988194.6 #1701 1-20-13 10:26PMLike Reply
I actually asked a CM about the photographers last week and was told that during the less busy season, they tend to have fewer working and the ones that are mostly assigned to the "official" meet and greet areas like Pixie Hollow and Fantasy Faire. - JustCantWait778.7 #122 1-21-13 1:36AMLike Reply

So I hear people talking about flavored popcorn in Carsland. Is there a list of flavours anywhere I can drool over??? Need to tide myself over til march 2013.
Two flavored popcorns daily, such as dill pickle and sweet & spicy. Other flavors include bacon and cheddar, nacho cheese, salt and vinegar. - MightyWhitey648.3 #164 6-11-12 12:30AMLike(1) Reply

So I have been thinking about the celebs. Is there a process for the plaid. Can a celeb just wake up in the morning and think I want to go to DL and then rock up and get a plaid or do they need to book one on advance? Also do they general More...
Celebs get there, snap their fingers then plaids run out to be picked. Then the celeb picks which plaid they'd like, kinda like how Emperor Kuzco picked a bride in the Emporor's New Groove. Lots of tears are shed, but one plaid is picked and they wait on them hand and foot. It's quite the process. - JoeDownTheRabbitHole395.9 #336 5-4-12 2:14PMLike(3) Reply
I can't speak for DL but my experience when "celebs" visit a place. Their publicist calls the place first, and then arrangements are made. When I worked at an aquarium Pierce Brosnan(sp?) was to visit with his family. His publicist called us first, when we made arrangements for a guard to be assigned to him. The marketing person also made arrangements for them to have a special tour of the place. - Lelundrial339.6 #430 5-4-12 2:11PMLike(1) Reply

I want Jack Skellington to fall down the rabbit hole, then meet up with the Cheshire Cat. Then the two of them could figure out each others world then fall through another door and end up in The Hundred Acre Wood and make friends with Winnie The Pooh. Then the 3 of them become friends and end up fighting bad guys (there always have to be bad guys). So Oogie Boogie, Maleficent, and Yzma can try to ruin the world. Maleficent is the leader who is always frustrated, Oogie is the taskman, and Yzma is just there for the comedy element. But in the end, Jack, Cheshire, and Pooh end up winning and saving the world.

Ok any runners out there? I want to do a marathon next year and really want to do one in the USA so I get a reason to come from New Zealand to the USA. Does anyone know of any good ones that are in or near LA? or even Cali????
I really want to buy a book about DL and the history of it and or maybe a good one about walt himself. Does anyone have any recommendations and on the off chance any ebook ideas?
Fiction E book that takes place in WDW in the future (and typically free) Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom - Corey Doctoro. I enjoyed it. Not exactly what you're looking for but I thought I'd throw it out there! - Zooter1361.7 #58 4-25-11 1:58PMLike Reply

Reunion. So looking at webcams has made me think. It would be so awesome for all if you going to reunion to get yourselves in a webcam spot at a designated time so all of us around the world and USA that can't come can see you all live. N More...
So I have just been looking at live webcam and there are people on the Matterhorn walking around the track bit and also on the side of the mountain. Do they do this every day prior to opening?
Also is it just me or Does anyone else see a cloud above TOT everytime they look. Is this part of the attraction? Do they somehow emit something to make an eery cloud appear???? - Cath26.3 #4562 4-23-11 7:03AMLike Reply
Me again. So just saw Matterhorn going around with some people in it and the park is not open for another hour . Who are these people? BTW ita 2.15 am here in new Zealand and I can't sleep so this is why I have strange fascination with park goings on!!! - Cath26.3 #4562 4-23-11 7:16AMLike Reply
Yes, they walk th tracks before and after watch day of use. We had a hat blow off once and they told us to come back after closing and one of the track-walkers would get it for us if he could. I think track-walker is some kind of Disney hybrid zombie, though. - Zooter1361.7 #58 4-23-11 7:19AMLike Reply
Hey zooter do you think that's an official CM job title "track walker" . Sounds v important and probably many an attraction to walk! - Cath26.3 #4562 4-23-11 7:23AMLike Reply
Just out of curiosity. How do foreigners get jobs at DL. When we were there we were talking to an awesome CM from Australia at Finding Nemo and I wondered how she got a job.
I'm sure is a college program? At WDW in Epot there is alot of foreign CMs representing each area that they work in. It's really really neat. - Ms.Mouseketeer1000.8 #88 4-19-11 2:12AMLike Reply
Yeah it's a foreign exchange college programme - BLG1049.5 #81 4-19-11 2:40AMLike Reply
That and many CM's in general have different backgrounds and can speak another language other than English. I spoke Tagalog (though I'm not fluent) to guests visiting the parks. - Mulannn108.8 #2915 4-19-11 3:05AMLike Reply

Back checking in sorry I wasn't very clear. Yes it's a brand new event to be announced with some really cryptic clues and I am so hoping its a full marathon at DL the discussions on run Disney keep pointing to another wdw event but that's people interpretation of the really hard clues. - Cath26.3 #4562 3-30-11 5:32PMLike Reply

Send positive thoughts, pray if you pray, donate if you can. New Zealand really appreciates the international support we are receiving for search and rescue. We are such a small country with 2 degrees of separation so are all feeling this and feel so helpless.

Oh my you wonder how many people must face plant daily at Disney I guess everyones looking around at everything. I didn't know the fireworks were about to start and screamed when I heard the first bang which was a bit embarrassing when everyone was standing around looking up.

Hi there, arriving from New Zealand on Sunday and wondering how I would go about getting a prepaid account for my iPhone over there. My home country rates would be too expensive so need some help on this so I can post MW times.
This may seem crazy but I have absolutely no idea what tron is or captain eo that I see people talking about. Is this just an American thing? Also when is your thanksgiving holiday?
thanksgiving is this thursday.... tron is a movie coming out made by disney... and captain EO is a M. Jackson movie from the 80's - vikkimus197.4 #1659 11-19-10 1:07AMLike Reply
