Bear Face Rooms

Ever hear about the 'bear face' rooms at Disney's Wilderness Lodge?

These are certain rooms in the U-shaped courtyard area facing Bay Lake.

Do you see the Bear's Face?

How About now:

Happy Anniversary, ToT !

WDW's Twilight Zone Tower of Terror officially opened July 22nd, 1994.

This remains my favorite thing to do at Disney's Hollywood Studios
(after Who Wants to Be a Millionaire closed in 2006).

Ever wonder what happens if you don't fasten that seat belt?

Confession # 14: My Favorite Disney Character

... is not Mickey or Minnie.

It's Pluto.

Because he does not speak - except for two words* in a 1931 cartoon,"The Moose Hunt", Pluto has to be very expressive in his actions and facial expressions.



And in "Mickey's Kangaroo", Pluto has a voice, although it's just his thoughts:

* Those two words: "Kiss Me"

Tinkerbell's Flight

Tinkerbell has been making her night flight in the MK at WDW since July 3, 1985.

She was originally supposed to fly as only a holiday/seasonal spectacle, but the crowd response was so immediately positive, she has been flying for 25 years now at WDW (at DL since 1961).

When we took our 1st Keys to the Kingdom Tour, our wonderful guide (Matthew) gave us a quite a bit of interesting background info on Tink's flight (like what happens if she meets a headwind).

Pet Power

A  new luxury resort  for PETS will open at WDW.

Golden Oak

Golden Oak  will be "an incomparable community" of million+ dollar homes, located adjacent to the Fort Wilderness area.

The "come-on" states: "Golden Oak offers the opportunity to create new Disney traditions entwined with treasured ones, and invest in your family legacy".

The cheapest (so to speak) home will be $1.5 million, ranging up to $8 million. That will be some family legacy.

Who can possibly afford this beside an oil-rich Saudi sheik or perhaps Bob Iger? Certainly not any of the 'regular' Disney fan-atics like those folks who save for two years so they can spend a week at The World.

I would much rather have seen the increasingly-popular Fort Wilderness area expanded.

No doubt Walt would be rolling at about Warp 6.
