Or perhaps a copy of the speech that the CM's give (even though i think i have the thing memorized by now!)? I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Originally Posted By DlandDug Just a couple of comments on the above list... The park/island for Peter Pan is consistently refered to as "London Park" by the guides. There is a Hyde Park in London, but I don't think it's supposed to be the same. Agrabah replaced Toad Hall a few years ago. When Toad Hall was in place, we also saw the homes of Mole (in the hill) and Ratty (by the water). The Cave of Wonders was originally identified as the Seven Dwarfs Mine. When the whole Aladdin sequence was added (Agrabah and rose trellises), the cave was changed. There was also, briefly, a reference to the romantic spot where Erik first kissed Ariel. Just before crossing under the final arched train bridge there is a group of trees on the left. The sounds of "Kiss the Girl" were played softly among these trees. Don't forget that before Triton's Palace was placed behind the waterfall, the area was called "Never Never Land," because (as the guides used to say, "We never, never go there." And finally, Ratty's house is still displayed next to the relocated Toad Hall. Unfortunately, the guides consistently misidentify it as Mole's house. It is definitely Ratty's house, as it has a small dock for a WATER RAT. Mole lived in the side of the hill. That's all...

I always felt that Agrabah was a bit more Adventureland than Fantasyland and it stands out because of that to me.

Originally Posted By Loreigh Haha, i was seduced by all the pretty, flashy, shiny (although mostly useless) decorations and things you can make with flash. It was an experiment. I havent figured out yet if it was a good one or a bad one.

For some reason, it seems like *all* of the automotive companies have gone to flash, and it makes looking through their sites a royal pain in the patootie.
Originally Posted By Loreigh Are you accusing me of abusing the flashy shiny things??? LOL I agree, but actually me and and a programmer friend found a way around the bookmarking problem. Works like a charm and it only takes one line of code, that was actually the easiest thing to fix (yes thats right i am a genius)

Originally Posted By CrouchingTigger Sorry, we got OT. Now back to your regularly scheduled Storybook Land-fandom I really like this ride and wish it didn't close every 5 minutes for a parade or somesuch. I want to see Loreigh's photo tour too!
Originally Posted By dresswhites luckily it closed alot less than it used to be. that is one good thing about only offering one parade.
