Great idea!

How old is that picture of Mark Hammill? After seeing recent pictures of him I don't think I'd recognize him if I walked past him today.

Also, a number of those photos have more than 2 people in them so there must have been a lot of employees' family, friends, next door neighbors, etc. allowed to break the rules.

Ha! Muppets movie and plot that can't be figured out from the previews don't really go together. The main thing I want to know are all the funniest jokes in the previews?

Just read an interview with Angelina Jolie about the movie in Entertainment Weekly (?) while waiting for my son at the dentist's office. Sounds like she really got into the role as she talks about experimenting with different voices with her kids to see which one they liked and about Malificent's motivation for who she is. Also showed that AJ's then 3 year old daughter played a little girl in one scene because all the 3 and 4 year old actors they tried out were too afraid of her.

Glad to have the chance to recommend them. We rented #2 this past Thanksgiving. We had 2 adults and 3 teen boys. There was enough room but you also have to figure out who is going to be willing to share sleeping space with whom to decide if the bed configuration will work for you. We also felt a little crowded on interior storage/shelf space but we also seemed to have a lot of stuff (5 cell phones charging; 5 idevices charging, etc.). This was our first experience with a pop up, though, as we are used to camping with 3 tents for 5 people. Overall, however, we all loved it and I highly recomm

Beautiful pictures! My parents used to love going to Longwood Gardens during those long NJ winters. Great picture with the fat cat too.

Note to self: Save up lots of money. Stay at the Fort for the duration of the Flower and Garden Festival. Try every single thing on every menu. Seriously, looking at just those couple of menus I would have trouble deciding on just one or two things. Even if I didn't think I'd like them some of the combinations sound so interesting I'd like to try them and find out for sure. And on an unrelated note, was your campsite right near the VIP cabins? i thought I saw the corner of one in one photo.

Then apparently nothing does. Because anything that makes me happy, can't be deserving of a down arrow. IASW provides me happy, nostalgic memories of the first time I enjoyed it in 1974. And possibly I rode a version of it at the NY World's Fair, but I was only 3 when I went to it so I don't have a clear memory. Up arrow for warm and fuzzy feelings. :raspberry:

To each her own. I'm picturing myself drinking my morning tea from that Mr. Toad mug with a big smile on my face. Right now I have several dozen mugs and I only use one of the four Disney travel mugs to bring tea to work each day and at home I always use my Joy To The World mug that has pictures on it that remind me of It's A Small World. Mr. Toad will fit right in.

Way cool. And excellent decision to market that nostalgia factor. Leave it to Disney to find a yet another way to separate me from my $.

But the reality is that a lot of people are going to see the word "deal" and think it is. I'm always surprised at how many people don't crunch the numbers. Or maybe I'm not. It's like when a store marks something with that red "clearance" tag that you can get elsewhere for less, or is total junk, or both. And on a personal note about the latest price increase, I'm really really glad I bought 8-day non-expiration parkhoppers + fun visits from Undercover Tourist right before the price increase last June. Now my investment is worth even more. And it's looking likely they will be the last Dis

Agree. Have stayed in the 2000 loop 4 times and never in any other loop and have not had a bad experience. But we also don't spend much time in the campsite since we are at parks, going other places around the Fort, etc. Definitely worth the lower cost to us. In terms of comparing just the two tent/pop up loops, there would be no difference in cost. But I've been told it's a lot harder to get 1500 because there are fewer sites and it's requested more.

And where do I sign up for this job?

Thanks. I'll show this to my son who wanted to take one apart. Of course he'll probably still want to take one apart.

So was your daughter ok with a coupon instead of a balloon? Because in the picture she looks pretty darn proud of that balloon, as she should be. But if she was ok with the situation then I'd call that a win-win-win. And I''m jealous because I always admire those Mickey and wish some stranger would hand me one someday.

All those people complaining about crowds like it's a new thing. I do remember waiting in long lines. Of course we went during Easter week and in July. But the Main Street photo from 1977 is probably an 8 by today's numbers. Another nice thing about before the internet, we didn't know how miserable we should be.

You're better than I was. My son who most needed a leash did this every time and wore me down enough that I gave up on using it. It would have made things much easier. Enjoying your trip report. And congratulations on your adoption.

Now I'm sorry I already said your son was adorable. I need a new word for him in his Flynn Ryder outfit with the kiss on his cheek - uber adorable. You better watch out when he gets to be a teenager. And be sure to save these pictures. Looking forward to hearing about your HDDR experience.

July 1977: Not marked but I think also 1977:

Photography has never been one of my skills: April 1974

It's funny that the two things I remember best from my two childhood trips to WDW/the Fort in 1974 and 1977 are Space Mtn and River Country and both of them must have been from the 1977 trip. Until I looked at the opening dates I thought I'd done both on both trips. I wish I could remember the details of taking this. And that I'd taken more than 6 photos of WDW during that trip. I even took a few more of Cypress Gardens than WDW. But I'm sure my parents cautioned me because of the cost of developing film. Such a difference digital cameras make.

I put 1979 because it says that at the top of the tickets. But I just now realized they are from Spring of 1982. I found them among things I got when we cleaned out my parents' house after my Mom passed away two years ago and I took all the Disney stuff I could find. I was thinking that I didn't remember going to the Revue, although that isn't unusual for me. Then I realized the tickets were from a trip my parents took with my younger brother when I was a sophomore in college. And how mad I was that they went without me during my brother's spring break instead of waiting until summer when I
