!!!!

When you go to the MAGIC KINGDOM (not "Disney World", as that's the entire property), look for a castmember selling either:

-Popcorn
-Popcorn and Ice Cream
-Roasted Almonds and Ice Cream
-Ice Cream

If he's wearing a nametag that says "ALBERT", it's me!!!

And dont' forget the advice for when you go to the Magic Kingdom:

And if you're lucky enough to see Albert, make sure to do his job for him. I hear he loves that! ;)


Don't really do that. That'd just be wrong!

LOL.

I'm unfortunately going back to that job tomorrow (had a very relaxing 5 day vacation at home with Kram and Jane and everyone else in Jersey). But I'll be happy, because we're getting into May, and it's not gonna be as hot as June, and not as crowded. That party in hell is gonna start in a month.

New attractions since 2003?

Mission Space
Excellent. A thrill ride doesnt get any better than this. Its nothing like you have experienced before and id say its the closest you'll get of knowing what its like going into space. If you get sick easily on rides DO NOT RIDE....lol! Get there early though at Epcot as it can get very busy during late morning/afternoon.

PhilliarMagic This replaced the Lion King show in Fantasyland and its great. Its a 3D show but well its nothing like you've seen before. Lion King, Aladdin, Donald etc :)

Stitchs Great Escape Well i havent actually been on it yet but theres mixed feelings about it. Some say its awful, others like it. It replaced Alien Encounter which closed afew years back. I think they have updated it at least twice already and i know they are currently updating one of the chambers again now. When you go im sure both chambers will be up and it will be alot better than before.

LMAX The new stunt show at MGM just opened. I seen a video of it and its looking good! Be sure to check it out.

Cinderellabration A new show in front of the castle during the day. Its nothing big but its nice and little girls will love it since its about princesses and stuff.

Lucky the dinosaur Lucky is at the animal kingdom! go check lucky out at Dinoland!

I may have missed some stuff! But hey maybe that helped you out abit. And its the happiest celebration on earth remember!!! :D

Dont forget to go on SOARIN @ Epcot!

I went to soft opening for that in March- & it was fantabulous!
(dont go on an empty stomach tho)

Stitchs Great Escape replaced Alien Encounter where my fiance used to work in Tomorrowland. Stitch is cute & its fun, but its not scary anymore like Alien used to be....

Mission Space is sorta new too. lots of fun too-one of the best attractions to come in a long time.

Philharmagic @ MK is fairly new too... best 3D show w/ Mickey, Donald, Ariel, Aladdin, Lumiere, Simba- u need to see it-its so "magical"!

Also brand new stunt show @ Disney Studios & Cinderellabration is @ MK now that is brand new as well.

& if u havent already seen Wishes-thats prob the best fireworks show I have ever seen Disney put on (I know there are alot of Illuminations fans out there who would prob disagree w/ me on this-I love Illuminations-but Tinkerbell is in Wishes & that rocks)


Hey Escapay- u missed a few guestions (AKA tourons in my time there):

What time is the 3 o'clock parade?
Where's the bus that goes to Universal?
Is that a boy or a girl in there? (about Mickey)
Is that really a turkey leg?

Philharmagic - excellent. Dont miss it, in fact dont miss it several times.

Star Wars - George Lucas just let it slip that he was planning on redoing it. Somehow I dont think the redo will be ready for your trip.

Hahaha, no, though I wish I was. But as far as I know, I'm the only Albert in Outdoor Foods (the peeps that run the popcorn, ice cream, and nut wagons). That's why I specified which wagons to check out for an Albert. But we do have probably 5 Jennifers, 3 Amandas, and several Joes.

LOL, how could I forget the infamous "3 o'clock parade" question?

I've never gotten the turkey leg question, though people do ask me "Where do I get the hunk of meat on a stick?" or "Where can I get the hamsicle?".

We do get the gender question a lot in terms of characters, but as we all know, it's really Mickey!

As far as I know, that's still on. But according to one of my roommates who I don't really trust anyway, he said that Carrie Fisher won't be there because apparently she's "banned" from Disney for awhile.

So now I know what all this fingerprinting is about for guests. They just want to make sure Carrie Fisher does not get in. :lol:

I've only rode this once and passed up two other chances to ride it again. I think the ride really is so awesome, but the level of motion sickness I got outweighed how awesome the ride is for me so I don't think I'll go on again anytime soon. I have to really forget how sick I felt to go on again. But if you don't care, definitely get a fastpass! Even that line could be a little long. If you don't get a fastpass, the standby line is enjoyable. Play 20 Questions to pass the time :) .

I LOVE THIS SHOW! The only problem with it is that its too short. I wish they were able to animate more magical musical moments from the features. It would've been awesome to see Donald running with the colors of the wind or singing with the dwarfs in the dwarf mine. You would not be a true Disney fan if you do not see this show on purpose.

Haven't seen it yet, even though we had the chance on our senior trip. Our feet and weariness did not allow us to trek back to Tomorrowland, so we missed it. I haven't heard good reviews from it though, but it should be intersting all the same.
*Andy* wrote:LMAX The new stunt show at MGM just opened. I seen a video of it and its looking good! Be sure to check it out.
Lights! Motors! Action! Extreme Stunt Show, in case your confused. We saw some of it during the backlot tour, but we didn't have time to see the actual show. We had to leave for home at three o'clock! Can you believe that? Making us leave Disney at 3 o'clock! It's ludicrous!
*Andy* wrote:Cinderellabration A new show in front of the castle during the day. Its nothing big but its nice and little girls will love it since its about princesses and stuff.
Saw it one and a quarter times. It's not very long and it would make Joe America barf at the site. Though it's a cute show with fun music and princess appearances. You have to really like Disney princesses to see this. The original Tokyo Disneyland version seems a lot cooler and longer, but due to the limitations of the Castle Forecourt Stage, performing the Tokyo version was impossible (for a plain country pumpkin to become a horse and carriage...lol)

We didn't see him either, but I saw him on TV.

Well overall, I hope you have a lot of fun, Jiminy, and take lots of pictures to share them with us! Picture sharing was the only good part of coming home from Senior Trip.[/quote]
