Currently staring at my framed Pirates of The Caribbean poster, let's do this

 

Going to Dollywood this weekend. Love that little place. Hope the new coaster is open.

 

I'll be getting on a plane for a short WDW trip at 5 AM tomorrow morning :P

 

Nice, hopefully making it down there in May, I still haven't seen new Fantasyland and I really want to

 

the seven dwarves ride is delightful

 

I'm so excited to go on it, I got to go on the original the day before it closed and I got very emotional lol

 

Snow White's Scary Adventures was so great. Luckily they still have it in Disneyland

 

True, Disneyland is slowly becoming my favorite park because of that, Indy, Mr. Lincoln, and Roger Rabbit

 

Nice! I'm going for a quick trip on Sunday.
Staying at the All Star Movies resort which is a special occasion since as locals we never stay at a hotel.

 

Not sure if you've been following that whole situation or not, but it seems as if it'll be awhile before it does. Issues with the designers of the launch portion aren't pulling their weight and it doesn't sound like it'll be fixed anytime soon. The coaster manufacturer put a statement out about it... hopefully it gets resolved soon.


Planning on a Hershey Park trip this summer for the first time, as well as Busch Gardens Williamsburg again sometime too before I head off in August.

 

Damn. I'm getting a pass, so I'll definitely get to ride it eventually. Thanks for the head's up.

 

Greetings from a WDW bus

 

I'm so jealous.

 

This thread is relevant to my interests.

 

I miss The Son of Beast :'(



Why did it have to kill so many people and get torn down

 

Magical Express?

 

I'm finally visiting Disneyland for the first time next month! I grew up going to WDW a ton, so it'll be really fun to see all the differences.

 

Disney fans, especially those obsessed with Walt and/or the parks and their history, what are your favorite books on the subject?

My favorites:
The Progress City Primer by Michael Crawford
Walt Disney and the Promise of Progress City by Sam Gennawey
Walt Disney: An American Original by Bob Thomas
Dream It! Do It! by Marty Sklar

Currently reading (and enjoying):
Project Future by Chad Denver Emerson

 

I love Dream It Do It, the Walt Disney biography by Neil Gabler is essential, also the retrospectives of Pirates of the Carribean and Haunted Mansion by Jason Surrell are my favorites

 

Nice, thanks. Just looked these up. Really interested to read that Haunted Mansion book especially.

 

I'm about to start Jeff Baham's haunted mansion book. I need to get all the others listed. WDW Radio is my source for book rec's

 

Nah, I'm with my parents because my dad just retired and asked me if I wanted to join them for a few days on their trip, they always rent a car at the airport.

Also I saw a cat wandering around at MCO

 

I've never read this one, will have to check out. Disney War by James B. Stewart is a good account of how Disney got out from under Eisner in the 90's if anyone is interested in that one as well.
