  1.  It's time to move on, but there was something I forgot to mention in the last update that was important.

     

    Something has changed at Space Mountain.

     

    Space Mountain has been closed for several day stretches over the past month or so.

     

    Apparently, they were installing some kind of braking mechanism.

     

    You can feel the rocket being slowed by brakes at various points along the track.  It's not bad like the brakes they put on the Primeval Whirl coaster at AK.  The braking is smooth.

     

    The result is a much, much smoother ride.  Much less shaking and rattling.  Maybe a little slower, but for the smoother ride, I'll take it. 

     

    TCD

     

    So that's why I almost really enjoyed my ride on Space this trip...

  2.  Not Done With The Bathroom Yet & Goodbye Dream Suite -

    The Door to the Thrown Room (I had to stand inside the shower to get this pic)-

    Just playing around with the camera-

    This picture was taken by sweet Concierge Cameron-

    And now it's time to leave-

    Some notes-

    There is a fire escape stair case hidden away behind the panelling in foyer with the glass slipper.  There is also a hidden passage way (perhaps how Tinker Bill gets to his launching platform?).  Sweet Camera gave us some insight into working the Cinderella Suite.  He said that he had to work 2 years in Guest Relations before even being considered for the privilege.  I suspect that you have to be extremely discreet, calm, and patient for the job.... ie, no loose lips.  When working the suite, he is required to stay up all night long.  He said it is full level concierge which means if you want a burger, some stir-fry, sushi...etc they will go out to a resort to find you the food.

     

    It is a small space, considering it's in a castle, but it is bigger than a normal room at the Values.

     

    After seeing it, I'll be honest, I would be slightly afraid of staying there.  Sure I would do it but can you imagine if the shower/toilet/bathtub sprang a leak? You just flooded Cindy's entire castle?  Accidentally broke one of those Milan Glass Decorative Mirrors?  Although that bathtub would certainly be nice to soak in...

     

    They mentioned that in most cases it's not just for rent, so unless they do another give away....

  3. I think you did a great job photo shopping your picture into those pictures you found online! Lol

    I think Throne Room is a perfect name for that room. Look above the stool. It looks like the thing you always see over a King or queen's throne.

     

    can't claim credit.. artsy fartsy is the photoshop genius in our rv

     

    More awesome pictures, Nicki!

     

    We were told by our guide that the hammered copper sinks in the bathroom cost $20,000 each.

    she didn't mention the price of anything but i would believe it

  4. The Throne Room, Proof I didn't Steal the Pics online, You can fit Six People in that thing,

    & Goodbye Dream Suite

     

    We will start with a few pictures that didn't make it into the last update.

     

    Probably the least used phone in all of WDW, just the sight of it caused us all to giggle because it was installed at the time that most people were getting smart phones and getting rid of home phones.  Though it is probably how you call Cameron to get you some food in the middle of the night-

    There is a piece of furniture very familiar to this one in the MK, anyone know where? -

    Yes, that is walnut wood panelling.  Yes, the throne is made from stone.  Yes, there is a mural to contemplate.  Yes, there is a door that closes you into the room all by yourself.
