I just got back from WDW and got to do Toy Story Mania 3 times over the course of a 10 day trip. (I was there August 1 through 10). My family and I loved it. When we were there, it was the most popular attraction, and fast passes were gone by 10:30 each morning. We took advantage of morning Extra Ma...

I was born in 1967, so I'm in the group that had to rely upon movie theatres and "The Wonderful World of Disney" to see Disney movies when I was a child. The first Disney movies I remember seeing in the theatres are "The Aristocats" and "Sleeping Beauty". I loved "...

I saw it last Friday on opening night. My sons, ages 7 and 11 were so excited about going to see it and loved every minute of it. The movie truly has something for everyone. It had football and cool gadgets for the guys and ballet and fashion for the girls. I also enjoyed the Elvis music. All of the...

The first movie I remember making me cry was Old Yeller. I was probably 8 or 9 years old when I saw it the first time, and it always was my benchmark for a sad movie. Now that I'm an adult, I cry more at emotional scenes in movies. I can recall shedding tears at the following Disney movies: Tarzan -...

I got to be in the Cheers scene!

My husband and I honeymooned at the WDW Resort in August 1991. When they said they needed a couple for one of the scenes, we were jumping up and down and got selected. When they asked for our names, I automatically gave them my maiden name. :lol: We got to sit at the Cheers bar and tell Woody that i...

I liked the movie. The story was predictable, i.e. father pushing dreams upon the son/son wanting to do his own thing/son doing his own thing/father initially resenting it, but ultimately accepts. I was impressed with Corbin Bleu's physical abilities, and I'm sure it wasn't easy to learn both boxing...

Pocahontas is not one of my favorite Disney animated features, but I like things about it, and it contains one of my favorite songs. In my opinion, "Just Around the Riverbend" is a classic, and Judy Kuhn's interpretation is spot on. I get chills every time I listen to it, and I have it on ...

I appreciate the cast members on the transportation who try to make you laugh when you're tired after a long day in the park. One time when I visited the Magic Kingdom with my parents (probably around 1986), we were riding one of the trams to our car. As we approached our stop, the guide said for ev...

I didn't ride Body Wars because I'm grossed out by the innards of humans anda it is the only ride to date that has ever made me throw up. :lol: I'm glad I'm not the only person who feels that way about Body Wars. I rode it one time in 1991 and knew when I got off that I would never ride it again. I...
