Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 <<Dunno if anyone's interested, but I do guided tours of MK restrooms since they are more entertaining than the stale attractions you've seen a thousand times before.

Perhaps, have a cheap frame with Walt Disney's famous 'they can buy Pepsi Cola, but they can't pee in the streets' quote on it? And will you do hidden restrooms? Any CM restrooms (any CM sexual encounters would be just a bonus)? <<Also have a guided tour of Construction Walls. We throw midgets on our shoulders and let them take pictures. Let me know if you're interested.>> I'd be very careful. I hear the folks who take wall pics are very protective of their perceived turf and might get an obese Disney publicist with the social skills of a special needs knat to have you removed from the park. But you could always rework your way into Disney's good graces. Jim Hill is an example of the fact Disney will whore itself to anyone!

Because I have the Finals Game on and am paying almost no attention instead playing with the fanbois. But as to your point, MSUSA has definitely lost a lot of character, soul (I did a thread here maybe a year or more ago about 'Has The MK Lost Its Soul?' ... great stuff, someone should pay me and the repost it all over on that MAGICal realm), but it does still have ambiance. I don't know if that makes sense. It still has a vibe, but it has lost so much of its sense of place, of theme. The entire Emporium side of MS is simply a giant WoD outlet store. << Or Liberty Square.>> <<LS, the JC area, and Caribbean Square are the only areas with ambiance in the MK.>> I'd disagree and say the entire park largely has ambiance, but that isn't quite the same in my mind as character/soul/heart/sense of place. I think it's all semantics, though.

Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 <<Do we get descriptions on each and every walt quote?>> I believe there are only 4-5 Walt quotes and they are placed on each and every construction wall at WDW as part of Stanley's sponsorship agreement ... if you check out any of the regular photo updates here, you'll likely see them ad nauseum as they don't change.

Do you need to get hugs from characters? Do you have more than one pin lanyard? Do you sing showtunes when no one is around? Do you wonder what Tom Staggs looks like in the buff when you're taking a shower? (Oops, last question was one from a questionaire I meant to send to merfie a few months back ... but ...)

Best arrival time: between 6-8 p.m. depending on time of year. <<And look at tomorrowland, tta to be more specific>> I've looked. What am I supposed to see? I've seen the new planter. I am so excited I could squirt (unlike WoC). Anything else?

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer No, to all of the above. I do get the "warm/happy/content/This is DISNEY" feeling with Wishes, though. And I am watching the Tony's. Heh.

You can send me checks or cash for my cut of the business. (I wonder how many fanbois are off watching the Tonys right now.)

Phil Jackson is not a nice man.
