North Wing of the Contemporary Demolition?

Sunday, December 3rd, 2006

contemporaryd-screamscape1.jpgEven more proof is found for the demolition of the north wing of the Contemporary Resort in Walt Disney World.

Screamscape is showing some paperwork, filed by Disney last month, verifying the request to begin demolition of the north wing.

The rumored Disney Vacation Club Contemporary Wing looks closer than it ever did before, even with an Animal Kingdom DVC coming first!

The first workers to greet many tourists at Walt Disney World will soon be some other company’s employees. Disney World plans to turn over at least 167 bell, valet and baggage service jobs to an outside company in January.

Disneyland Resort Paris trip report: Day 3 “Showtime” (Highlights)

Sunday, August 27th, 2006

TiggerPoohShow.jpgnother early entry today in Fantasyland but without the Peter Pan marathon (just one ride). It is just nice to leisure during the non busy first hour of the day. The rest of the day became a real show day. Although I did try and failed to put record numbers on a Buzz visit, the show took out a lot of the time of this day. Once I met up with Dirk one of the things we went to see was the new Winnie the Pooh show. I loved it. So much better then the previous show. The new location at the Fantasy Festival Stage does the show justice and the story is real fun. The show is so good (I know, I’ll never grow up) that, once we met up with Stefan and his partner Sabine, we had to go again. Tarzan was also on the program. I love this show and is, by far, so much better then the now ended Tarzan show in Animal Kingdom. This show has more acrobatics with some really cool stuff done by the “monkeys”. Visiting DLRP, this is a show that cannot be missed.

No more Pin Trading Events at the hotels

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

DisneyPinWeb1.jpgFor some, Pin trading is part of a Disney holiday while there are others who still wonder what the collectors see in this little pieces of metal. I do collect them myself but narrowed it down to Halloween and the once I like. I used to try to get more, but as I cannot be at the parks all the time missed out on the once I collected or wanted and started to cut down. Sure, Ebay is a place to go if you want to get some, but with some of the prices being doubled I could not bring myself to buying them. As I wanted to keep it fun I now get what I like on my trip, with Halloween being the main interest.

It looks like I am not the only one thinking like this as Disney decided to end most of their pin trading events in the Walt Disney World Hotels. Although Disney doesn’t say why they end the events but they do admit that he number of visitors was going down.

piratesSuite1.jpgIf you can’t get enough of the pirates and you’re planning a trip to Disneyland Resort in Anaheim how about staying at the Disneyland Hotel in the all-new “Pirates of the Caribbean Suite” (formerly one of the hotel’s Presidential Suites).

“This is the kind of experience you could only have at a Disney resort,” says Tony Bruno, vice president, Disneyland Resort Hotels. “Along with our other rooms and suites, the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean Suite’ enables guests to feel they’re really living the Disney entertainment experience.”
