All Things Disney

[TheQueen]

Discussion thread for all things Disney. Parks, movies, merchandise, if it's by the Mouse, let's discuss it.

[Doug11]

If I were at Disneyland today, I would have taken a spin with Roger Rabbit

[figmentmom]

I've been missing the Mouse big time lately - haven't been there since July. Hmmm...

[TheQueen]

I'm going to Disneyland next week. By the look of things I've got a lot of construction walls to look forward to. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Tokyo DisneySea released a picture for the new version of Fantasmic going into the lagoon.

[BeeJay]

I'd really like to go back to Disneyland later this year, but part of me wonders if I should hold off until the DCA expansion is finished. That's not going to be until about 2013, I think. I don't really plan on waiting that long, but part of me thinks it would be cool to go back and see the park completely different than it was last summer.

Cool! :punk

Sara and Jason just spent a week in Hong Kong on vacation, and they went to Disneyland while they were there. VERY, VERY different. Way smaller than the Magic Kingdom, for one thing, and very uncrowded. Nowhere near as many rides; the only ride that was better than than its cousin in Orlando was Space Mountain, although they also liked Hong Kong's Small World. They both noticed that the Cast Members, while very nice, had a terrible time controlling the lines and crowds at the parades - even when the place was mostly empty! They enjoyed their day there, but had no desire to return for a second day. :dunno

[Christy]

I always hear people talk about Tokyo DL as if it's the park to end all parks :lol I guess if I were going to be in Tokyo I'd give it a go. BUt I don't see myself ever in Tokyo

Cool! A Disney thread.:punk

Their version of the Magic Kingdom park is okay. I like certain parts rather than the whole sum. However, Tokyo DisneySea is a different matter. Best park, hands down. But it's a very different kind of Disney park. I think its closest American cousin in terms of unique theming would be AK.

Sara and Jason have now been to WDW, Disneyland in Anaheim, Hong Kong Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland (they liked that a LOT better than Hong Kong), and Disneyland Paris. Lucky them! :lol

Although I'd rather stay home and babysit Katie for a week than take a 17-month old to Hong Kong :lol...toooooo long a flight.

Just and FYI, since everyone here is used to the old policy. Disney has changed their cancellation policy for 2010 MYW packages by one day. It's now 44 - 7 days prior - $100 cancellation fee and for 6 - arrival date - $200 cancellation fee.

[Regina]

Damn, if the renovations at DL are going to take THAT long, I may hold off on a trip to California. Maybe a trip to Boston to see my cousin or Utah to see Yoshi's cousin might be more practical :)

[aliciakatherine]

I can't wait to see the new Fantasyland!! and Harry Potter? :faint: (oops) ;)
We were going to try to get down there again for May, but I don't know if I'll be able to get time off before the summer. Phil really can't wait to get back down to Orlando! :) :)

Agreed. I LOVE Boston. My sis and I contemplated visiting Boston and then a drive through Maine in the fall. But that trip idea is tied with a visit to Vancouver. Still haven't decided.

Especially this time of year! :whistle

I kid, I kid. :lol Actually, we've had way less snow than usual so far this year, while family members in the Washington, D.C. area are getting HAMMERED. Robert's sister and her family had no power for two days!

I've been there a couple of times, but close to 30 years ago. It's just a really nice city and I enjoyed being there.

[figmentmom]

We went to Mystic, Connecticut and Boston on our honeymoon. Both were a lot of fun, really, although it rained the whole week. :mad

[Doug11]

anyone see the rumor posted at wdwmagic.com that summer at Walt Disney World will include all sorts of fun including the Main Street Electrical Parade and a special fireworks show only previously seen at the Pirate special event nights?

Fun!

Too bad I'm not going to make it to Disney during the summer unless I somehow find myself registered for the Everest run. :lookaroun

Wilderness Lodge was featured on Great Hotels with Samantha Brown on travel channel today. :thumbs

I was watching it with Kaitlyn, and they showed her checking in, and the CM said to have a magical day and I said "SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP RIGHT NOW!" Kaitlyn was worse since she has to wait til all the way in August to go again :lookaroun

Eva and Leah... her sisters are NOT happy, but they have honestly gone ten times as often as Leah will get to. They were all young together, and then got too old together :lol (to go during school that is)

Full length? Size queen!!:tongue Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing Pirates. Although I'm probably going to ride HM more than a couple times. I LOVE that attraction. And of course I will have to pay homage to the corndog gods by eating one at the corndog cart on Main Street.

[Shannon]

Pssstttt....I'm going to Disneyland tomorrow for three days.:lookaroun


If I were at Disneyland with Gordon tomorrow.....

First I'd tackle him in a HUGE bear hug.

Then we'd sneak into Club 33 for lunch.






I am seriously beyond excited about the Main Street Electrical parade coming back. And the new fireworks. And a new drop sequence on Tower. I ride Tower over and over again until I get all the sequences in.

Shannon, when will you be at WDW this summer? :whistle

[Regina]

Main Street Electrical Parade is fine. Spectromagic will be missed.

If they start using the fireworks from the Pirate and Princess Party, I may actually be at MK long enough to see it. Those fireworks are amazing!

[figmentmom]

I'm would miss Spectromagic as well. I really enjoy the music.

Me, too. I have a CD of it somewhere or other. :lol

[TheQueen]

Having seen both shows, I would say I prefer Spectromagic. I like MSEP and it has its charm, but Spectromagic is magical.

[Doug11]

I like them both, so am happy the Main Street Electrical Parade is coming back, but would be disappointed if Spectromagic was scrapped. I like the Fantasia floats in Spectromagic and Ursula in the Little Mermaid section of the parade, among other things.

Main Street Electrical Parade is full of characters you wouldn't otherwise see such as Pete's Dragon, the Bed knobs and Broomsticks Lion King (I can't ever remember his name) and the Alice in Wonderland trippy caterpillar float . . . it is all so cool. :D

[Christy]

I listen to Spectromagic all the time :blush

I'm so excited for our trip now... the drive will suck, and I'm going to "do" virtually nothing, but I'm just going to be glad to get out of Ohio for a while :blush

[Shannon]

YES to all! :flower

July 11-19, then two days at Universal to check out Harry Potter. I'm going to the dark side. :lol

If I were at Disneyland with Gordon today, I would find that cheese pretzel we were talking about, and I would go on California Screamin' :punk


Elizabeth, you are the first person I've ever seen who said she particularly liked those clowns on a ball! :uh :lol


I think they are creepy as creep! :lol

but they are a big part of the introduction to SpectroMagic and I'd miss them if they were gone . . . but they are still creepy! :lookaroun

I would love to ride Cailfornia Screamin' right now.

I still have a FastPass for it in my wallet from our 2008 trip.

[Doug11]

I answered a question in a wdwmagic thread about "What rides would you change?" and suggested some changes in Adventureland. My post was ignored, which is fine, but I am curious what you all think about what I shared that I would like to see, if they decided to change things up.

Good, bad or ugly, I'd like to hear your thoughts:

Swiss Family Treehouse - make it a load area, with ziplines going across the Jungle Cruise River and back. That necessarily means seeing people coming and going while on Jungle Cruise.

Jungle Cruise: Re-do the boats so that it is more adventurous. Instead of going behind the waterfall, go OVER the waterfall! (yee-ha!) I suppose that means boats with lap belts. You'd still have a skipper, but he'd be strapped in and delivering his spiel via a headset microphone.

Tiki Birds: Replace with live South Pacific entertainment. This would steal from the Polynesian luau, and would include dancing, fire swallowing, pretty much anything involving drums and/or a grass skirt.

Those changes, or any of them, would get me back to Adventureland. As-is, I am all about grabbing a Dole Whip and heading to Caribbean Plaza.

but tell me, how far off base am I here?

[Hooker]

Other than PotC, implode the entire land. I wouldn't miss anything in there. Something should be done because those attractions seem, to me, to be outdated, stale, and boring.

Then, put in the Indiana Jones attraction that is in Disneyland.

[BeeJay]

I like your ideas, Doug. Like Hooker says, the place is staaaaaaaaale. Anything to jazz the place up and add a little bit of "danger" or "action" I'd be for.

It really cracks me up (or puzzles me, more accurately) when SirGoofy fights people tooth and nail on JC, saying it's as much of a timeless classic as Pirates, HM, etc. :shrug

[Doug11]

yeah, Sir Goofy is . . . biased. :lol

[BeeJay]

NO, I'll go along with you on all of those. :rotfl (Except maybe the Swiss Family Treehouse, 'cause I kind of like that one the way it is.) You can also replace the Aladdin ride (since Dumbo has that territory covered already over in Fantasyland), maybe with a magic carpet thrill ride simulator or something. :lol

Unless you're three, that Aladdin ride isn't much of a hoot. :lol And the spitting camel? Uh, no, thanks. Time to spice it up in Adventureland. Maybe they'll tackle that next, after Fantasyland.

[figmentmom]

I had heard that one reason for keeping Aladdin is that one of the "cars" is wheel-chair accessible, where Dumbo does not. :dunno

You're right. From www.themouseonwheels.com:

Dumbo This is one of the icon rides at the park. I swear, every Disney commercial has smiling children riding the elephant in it! Then why is there NOT a roll on vehicle like there is on Aladdin?? The wheelchair entrance is next to the regular entrance. Get one of the cast members attention and be prepared to wait your turn as if you were in the main stream queue. For the non-accessible cars you have to step up 12 inches then over 12 inches through the opening about 18 inches to a bench seat.

Magic Carpets of Aladdin "Dumbo done Agrabah style " as you roll aboard a special magic carpet for a 2 minute ride. There is one car that is accessible for regular sized wheelchairs. If yours is bigger, you can transfer to a manual one at the attraction. The back seat of this carpet is unlocked and rolled out. There is then room for the ramp and for the wheelchair to be placed where the seat was removed. The front seat of the carpet remains for a companion to sit in to ride. Non-accessible carpets require a transfer up about 12-15 inches and through an opening to a bench seat. The device that secures the wheelchair goes between the front and back wheels and is about 6 inches tall. Batteries may get in the way.

[Computer Magic]

Like the ideas about Adventureland. I almost forget to ride POTC because I walk through the area so fast. I do wish a better with Aladdin. Such a great movie being wasted by that ride. You can't even hear the music which is such a waste. Oh I also don't stop at the popcorn stands in MK...:LOL

Back from my trip. EXHAUSTED!! Endless walking and standing. Whose bright idea was it to go on a three day holiday? Four if you count Friday. I didn't even get to ride Pirates. Decided I will NEVER ride Space Mountain again. I got really sick this time and luckily didn't upchuck all over the place. Definitely not as fun accompanying a 13 year old girl who didn't want to ride the "baby" rides. So Toad and Peter Pan were out. No go for Alice either. But I'll be back in May for a court reporter convention and I'll get my rides in then.

[TheQueen]

Well, it would have been one thing if it were my niece. I wouldn't have cared what she thought and I would have dragged her on the "baby rides." I wanted her to come along to accompany my judge's 13 year old, but she couldn't make it. Judge's foot and hip were acting up from all the walking so I basically got the kid for the weekend. Which I didn't really mind. I just escorted her from ride to ride and let her go crazy in the single rider lines. She rode Screamin' eight times in a row yesterday. It was all I could do to brow beat her into riding BTMR which is judge's favorite ride. Again, if it were my kid or relative, it would be a different story. But when it's someone else's kid, it's not the same.

Yeah, she's the one adopted from the Russsian orphanage. But yes, a little spoiled to my eyes. But then I wasn't raised on trips to Disneyland every year. So what do I know of spoiled. She's a really good kid with a kind heart. I went to Fastpass Soarin' yesterday and when I caught up with judge I asked where her daughter was. She pointed to a shop and said she was in there. I went in and there she was at the counter buying a Soaring pin with her mom's name on it. Very sweet of her I thought.

I became the "manny" for the weekend and at one point Friday I told judge to just go back to the hotel and relax and watch the Olympics. I think part of the reason why she asked me to go is because she knew she couldn't keep up with Eva and she needed someone to take over. I didn't mind. It is Disneyland afterall. I let her ride whatever she wanted and almost let her eat whatever she wanted. She had a Mickey ice cream for breakfast :lookaroun and this morning I woke her up at 7:00 to hit the parks hard before our flight home. Judge was greatful I took over. With her current physical condition with the bum foot and hip, she couldn't have kept up.

[TheQueen]

So true. You're a great guy for being so patient with her. :hugs

Awww...thanks. Just remember. If any of you ever need your kids watched while at a Disney park, I'll be happy to oblige. Just don't be surprised if they say Uncle Gordon let them eat ice cream for breakfast.:lol

Oh, one more thing. After finally getting a look at the viewing location for DCA's World of Color show, all I can is this, it will TOTALLY suck being a CM in charge of crowd control. I know it's meant to hold 9000 people, but I just don't see it. I really don't.

[Christy]

You'll be spending quality time in Fantasyland, but that's OK. :lol Do you like TTA? That's a safe bet.

We live for the TTA! :rotfl It's a favorite :D MK will be easy, it's the other parks I might have trouble with. I think we'll skip AK altogether. Studios will be lots of shows we never get to because mom is over in the ToT/RnR side constantly :lookaroun :blush

Yeah, she's the one adopted from the Russsian orphanage. But yes, a little spoiled to my eyes. But then I wasn't raised on trips to Disneyland every year. So what do I know of spoiled. She's a really good kid with a kind heart. I went to Fastpass Soarin' yesterday and when I caught up with judge I asked where her daughter was. She pointed to a shop and said she was in there. I went in and there she was at the counter buying a Soaring pin with her mom's name on it. Very sweet of her I thought.

I became the "manny" for the weekend and at one point Friday I told judge to just go back to the hotel and relax and watch the Olympics. I think part of the reason why she asked me to go is because she knew she couldn't keep up with Eva and she needed someone to take over. I didn't mind. It is Disneyland afterall. I let her ride whatever she wanted and almost let her eat whatever she wanted. She had a Mickey ice cream for breakfast :lookaroun and this morning I woke her up at 7:00 to hit the parks hard before our flight home. Judge was greatful I took over. With her current physical condition with the bum foot and hip, she couldn't have kept up.

But Disney is made for spoiling and ice cream for breakfast! :) My MIL used to say we have to know where the line between lucky and spoiled is LOL If she is a good and sweet kid in every other regard, I declare she is merely lucky :)

[Christy]

So I was able to manage to get this trip booked so that it went on my credit card at a time that the payment won't be due until NEXT statement, which means we'll have been reimbursed before I actually pay for it :lol :cool

It's like getting paid to go to Disney! :lookaroun

Hearing more about her, she does sound like a good kid. Having a tough childhood, she should enjoy the finer things. You are such a good "manny".

So I see along with my $500 gift card there are tons of vouchers for various activities (Sammy Duvall, and the marina, etc) but no amount is listed, is there somewhere I can see what that is before we get there? :dunno I emailed Jenell, too, but I am impatient :lookaroun

Can you search those activities on the Disney website?

[Christy]

Jenell got back with me with a link, yes it's on there somewhere :lol I never would've found it myself :goofy

Basically it's 10-15% off most of the places listed. Extra 30 minutes if you purchase 60 at the marina, that sort of thing.

The more I see of the upcoming Tim Burton "Alice in Wonderland," the more I wish they'd left it alone. Certainly, many people will go just to see Johnny Depp, but how do you all feel about the story and the imagery from what you've seen in the trailer?

I may wait until it's On Demand. Neither of the kids want to see it.

Leah said she would watch it except she doesn't want to see "those two little weird fat guys" :rotfl

I just got done making our dining reservations for two weeks (:uh) from now! We could not get into Ohana or the Cali Grill, which didn't surprise me, but the rest were pretty easy. (Mostly due to the fact that they aren't anything really special :lol ) I think the lady who did our reservations for us may have been the most boring person in the world though :blink

Try for the others while you are there (even day of). People sometimes cancel, so you never know.

[BeeJay]

Alice is pretty much critic proof to me, in that I'm guaranteed to see it once. Anytime there's a new AiW adaptation out, I'm there to see what happens, just because I've always been fascinated by the story.

In theory, Tim Burton is perfect for this project. Based on what I've seen in the trailer, I'm not sure, though. I'm not jumping up and down excited over it at this point.

From the little I've seen via the trailers, I can't help but think of American McGee's version of Alice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_McGee%27s_Alice). In that storyline Alice's parents die in a fire and she has a mental breakdown and is sent to an asylum. She is summoned back to Wonderland by the White Rabbit to help overthrow the Queen of Hearts who has taken control of Wonderland. Yes, it's a much darker version of Alice, but it would appear the part of the storyline in Tim Burton's version where Alice has to overthrow the Red Queen who has taken over Wonderland is almost similar.

The Nightmare of Wonderland. Creepy. :uh

[BeeJay]

Gordon, I've thought there were similarities to American McGee's Alice since I first saw the trailers. With Burton at the helm, it was almost guaranteed to be a darker vision.

Anyway, I recant what I wrote a few days ago about not being excited about the movie after seeing the trailer on this page (tried to embed, no luck): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1252091/Alices-weird-wonderland-Why-scenes-row-Tim-Burtons-fantastical-film-disappear-cinemas-fast-Cheshire-Cat.html

It looks like there might be some real character development to go along with all the snazzy visuals here. And I forgot that it's all in 3-D. I'm looking forward to seeing this. :D

[figmentmom]

Me, too. Should be fun. Hope it's not TOO dark, though - some whimsy would be welcome, too. I think that's what I hated so much about the Jim Carrey "Christmas Carol" - dark, grim, violent, without a moment's reprieve.

Okay, I've had this photo on my camera ever since Disney Marathon weekend, but have not somehow gotten it uploaded anywhere. Anyway, this is the only decent shot I've ever gotten of the shot across the lake, showing both Morocco and the Tower of Terror over at the Disney Hollywood Studios. I hope you like it.

How long a drive will it be? We have friends who used to drive straight through from here to Orlando every April break, and it took them exactly 24 hours. :faint

[Christy]

15 hours I believe... I was more bringing food because I can, to have in the room and in the parks. But also for the ride, yes :lol

Andy right now plans to take off at 9 saturday night :faint I said I am good til midnight, then night night :lol He is better at driving long stretches than I am, and is WAY better at sleep deprivation (lots of practice, all my years with babies can't compete with his job :rotfl ) so we're hoping this will make it easy on the girls who can *knock on wood* sleep most of the trip away.

We always bought snacks for the room - with kids, it's the only way to go. :flower

Hmmm, road trip food...when I was a kid, my parents used to buy Raisinets. I liked them until I was carsick one time, and then I could never look at them again. :rotfl It used to take us 12 hours to drive from Long Island to Niagara Falls, including pit stops. I think we broke out the sandwiches and cookies before we even hit New York City. :rotfl

:l love roadtrip snacks!!! We put a cooler in the car with water, soda's and sometimes dip (yes, I sometimes take chips and dip on the road :lol ). For snacks, I must have some sort of chocolate, chesse straws, chips, and usually bake cookies or something for the road. Before Oddie and I had kids, we'd get a pizza and snack on it while driving home from Ok. A box of Krispy Kremes makes for a great road trip snack as well. Oddie likes to take beef Jerky.

[Christy]

I was going to bake some brownies to bring, for the road as well as the room :thumbs

[Hooker]

Large bag of sunflower seeds and an empty water bottle for the used shells. They last me a whole trip and keep me awake driving.

Doesn't make sense for me. I've never even been to California. If I were rich and could fly out the Ca. a few times a year, plus drive down to WDW a few times a year, then it would be great. I'm not, so :shrug

GOD BLESS YOU, HOWARD ASHMAN

www.AshmanDocumentary.com

A feature-length documentary on the life and work of HOWARD ASHMAN, the critically acclaimed and award winning writer, lyricist, and producer. Ashman wrote LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, SMILE, and the lyrics for Disney’s LITTLE MERMAID, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, and parts of ALADDIN before dying of complications from AIDS at the age of forty. The film will be an intimate portrait of the man “who gave a mermaid her voice and a beast his soul,” as the dedication to BEAUTY AND THE BEAST puts it. His work continues to capture the imaginations of children and adults the world over, but few people know his life story.

Using raw, verité style, imaginative visuals, incredible musical performances, and high profile interviews, the film will capture the humanity of the person behind the magical work, the true stories behind the fantastical scenes, and the courage of a man who kept writing music despite the ravages of A.I.D.S.

[figmentmom]

I had no idea Howard Ashman was only 40 when he died. :no He wrote the cleverest lyrics EVER - with apologies to Elton John, "The Lion King" was no match for anything Ashman ever wrote.

I may be mean, but I can only point and laugh at Yoshi's family and thank the good Lord I am not there because they can never sit still and are pretty impatient. I can go at another time, thank you :lol

I always feel some sympathy for those who are inevitably at the Magic Kingdom for the first time when it is in gridlock. That's NOT the magical experience we want to remember! :lol

Our honeymoon was from 3/26/1995 through 3/30/1995. It wasn't crowded during that time. I wonder what changed or did we just get lucky spring break wasn't during that time. Spring Break never crossed our minds as a possible issue. That would have made definite impact with the magic.

[Computer Magic]

I guess it depends when Spring Break is and where Easter falls during that time.

Our honeymoon was April 9th - April 23rd, with Easter on the 24th. The first week it was dead, but the second week, we definitely noticed an increase in crowds.That makes sense. 1995 was a late Easter, 16 April 1995.

[Hooker]

This is also spring break week for public schools in Florida, compounded with Easter Sunday this weekend.

Hey wait a minute... I think I was there at that time for my spring break! Ours was typically the last week in March, no matter when Easter came.

I don't remember the crowds. I was too busy being a 17 year old girl :lol

While I am VERY sorry for their loss, they're rapidly losing my sympathy by trying to make Disney look like the villain, against ALL evidence.

[Hooker]

While I am VERY sorry for their loss, they're rapidly losing my sympathy by trying to make Disney look like the villain, against ALL evidence.

Agreed. Based on all I've heard, the boy seems to be at fault. And, from the pictures I've seen, the bus was not off the road like the g-ma said. And, Disney is not going to say anything to the family because of legalities so that nothing can be used as an admission of guilt.

But, it's a shame any time someone loses a child.

I agree. This is going to be a GREAT show. There's other video that shows the water spraying MUCH higher. I don't think you have to worry about the pipe sticking out of the water. The whole thing will be submerged during the day. Similar to the water effects in the lagoon at TDS.

But I'll say it again. Crowd control for this show will be HORRIFIC!!

Greetings from Northern California. What does that have to do with Disney you ask? Well, the Walt Disney Family Museum is located at the Presidio in San Francisco and we spent a couple hours there yesterday. Very cool place for Disney freaks like you and me. Sadly, there is no discount for D23 members.

No photos, as they prohibit photography. :shrug

Quick report - the museum takes you from Walt Disney's early life through his death in 1966. We got to see several of his academy awards, including the special award for Snow White, with the 7 little miniatures. :D Laugh-O-Gram pictures, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, original drawings from Steamboat Willie, Ub Iwerks, Mickey Mouse, the strike, World War II, his personal home out in the valley including his personal railroad train, Disneyland and the projects he was working on at the time of his death. All VERY COOL - for an admission price of $20.

Why San Francisco? That's where his surviving daughter lives and her contributions of the personal effects make the museum worthwhile.

Next time you are at Fisherman's Wharf, take a couple hours to tour the museum - you won't regret it!

[TheQueen]

Doug!! Could the weather be any better for you? Where the heck is the fog? And I can't believe you made it to the Disney Museum before I did. And I live 15 minutes away from it.

[Christy]

I was going to ask on facebook if you'd made it. Scratching that off my to do list. :goofy Have fun!

Sara and I watched "The Princess and the Frog" yesterday (finally :blush). Predictable story, and a VERY homogenized soundtrack - nothing sounded authentically jazzy or Cajun or zydeco to me at all.

Not that this has to do with anything except you just mentioned his name...

I know (one of) Alan Menkens personal assistant's. Says he's a really cool guy..
I'd like to see Princess and the Frog just because it's the return to cell animation..but it sure was shoved in our faces when we went to WDW in October!

I just love the creepy coolness of these sort of "forensic Disney Stories".

Remember the photos of the water-park (River-Country?) that was all over grown and being consumed by nature? Or the shots of the partially completed Pop-Century area?

I'm not sure what it is, but there's something really interesting about areas that used to be so Disney turning into something reminiscent of a post-apocalyptic film.

That's absolutely part of the appeal to me! To imagine that the brutal, chaotic dance of nature thrives just a short distance from all of Disney's carefully controlled theme park experiences is fascinating IMO.

Plus...going through an abandoned water park, then swimming to an abandoned island? That's just an awesome story!

[tigsmom]

The bacteria isn't just in Florida, it's all over the country. The problem comes mainly down South (you too Elizabeth) in that the water gets too warm and since it's basically still the bacteria lays dormant until somebody kicks it up. It's a real killer, even in my inlaws place they tell you to NOT use any ice that comes from ice makers when you have been gone for a long time. You need to clean it out, run two loads of ice to clear out the pipes and then it's safe. Up north many of the lakes and ponds are stream fed so the water moves a lot and stays coldish.

I know many people in WDW say "I'll take the chance", but they don't understand how deadly it can be and that's why I don't understand the swimming races they've held in Bay Lake. :dunno

There are a few threads over on Magic about this as it comes up every so often.
