Is this correct? Has WDW updated "F" recently?

You seem to know a lot about both parks. I am starting to recognize your name on LP as a frequent poster! Anyway if you have any clues to Dumbo I hope you tell LP!

In my opinion it's second only to Haunted Mansion in the MK. >>I agree with lesherb. But sometimes you get a crowd that justs sits there, and nothing registers with them.

A skipper's worst nightmare. It bugs me, but I'm still going to give 110% everytime I give a cruise.

I think it is great show and I like how it highlights some of the more talented CMs abilities. I have been on this ride a ton and I still love it every time.
