I just saw the trailer for the Prince of Persia movie. It looks really promising!
How do you think Disney will incorporate this into the parks? If they will at all?

| ESPN... |
[05 Nov 2009|03:55pm] |
WWOS will now be rebranded ESPN Wide World Of Sports
The site will also get a new broadcast facility, upgrades the restaurant, a new station on the TVs in the resorts, etc.
More details at:
http://thedailydisney.com/blog/2009/11/disney-transforms-wide-world-of-sports-to-pair-it-with-espn/
If all this sounds familiar:
"The new name for the facility, the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, was announced on September 24, 2008, but no date has been set for the transition to the new name"
So the name idea is old, but the details seem to be new.

I'm going back to WDW next month and I want to get a picture taken with the characters from The Princess & the Frog. I know that there is Tiana and Naveen, but how about Louis, the alligator? Does anyone know if he's got a meet 'n greet too? I'd love to meet him.

my little sister's friend and her mom went to WDW last week (i believe...might be early this week). they said there was a sing up in front of the rock n' roller coaster that said something about coming soon hannah montana. any word on if they're reworking the rock n' roller coaster?! and if so how quickly this will happen?
i can't find anything solid and didn't see the sign myself. it wasn't up when i went there several weeks ago though that's for sure.
thanks!

Clair de Lune - Debussy |

I. Thesis
Just a moment enjoying stillness,
giving each other's regard gracious entrance to hearts.
Open mouths link in natural symmetry, overcoming never.
II. Antithesis
Desire enfolds both,
offering relief at hand,
as needed nearness exalts heavy ardor,
before exploding reverence.
III. Synthesis
Fervent oration rebels ecstatically, vanquishing eternal rest.

Why Don't You See Me - Concrete Blonde |
] |
If I am sitting when you meet me, you may not see it. Walking into my second story apartment you will be simultaneously overwhelmed by the brightly colored paintings, books, music & movies, all drowned out by my loud and infectious laugh. I exude vitality and as you make your way through there are framed photographs from the mountains I have climbed, oceans I have dived, deserts I have hiked and endless churches and museums that I have visited.
After a few minutes you might notice that my breathing has become more labored, the sweat is pooling on my brow and my alert posture has started to slump into the couch. I am no long what I used to be and can no longer maintain the vivid presence I used to constantly inhabit. I cannot walk, stand or sit straight for more than ten minutes before I begin to collapse. Or when I do it is despite the pain that is coming on and that will stay with me for days, or sometimes weeks.
You might be embarrassed as we are both confronted by my frailty, so at odds with the large frame that once was legendary for its strength and endurance. As you search for another place to look you might at last take in my shiny red cane, the breathing machine, the regiment of pill bottles and the overflowing folder of medical bills and benefit explanations that are waiting to be filed.
I was an artist, a musician, an actress, a dancer, an academic, an administrator, a muscular therapist, and an unignorable force of nature. With all of these gifts and experiences, when asked my profession now, all I can say is 'disabled.' It's not a question of what I can or cannot do, but of what it takes for me to do it. I have the use of all of my limbs and senses, but now that I have chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia any focused use of one or more of my faculties causes me fatigue and pain that is by many accounts comparable to what one experiences with cancer.
My cells don't make enough energy and my neurons communicate too much pain. We don't know how these illnesses happen and so we who suffer with them are not given the respectable status of a chronic disease. We have syndromes, a constellation of symptoms and conditions that may last for months, if you're lucky, or decades, if you're not. There is no test that will tell us how likely we are to improve or how likely we are to get sick again if we do. So we have to live our lives balanced between a grim acceptance that we may need to plan never to work again and an impossible optimism that today will be a good day.
There is no pride in chronic fatigue, because you quickly learn what overextending yourself will cost. I am currently in a two week flare up of shooting pain in my lower back, hips and legs and aching in all of my joints, staying in bed all day and running a constant low-grade fever. These two weeks of heightened illness and misery were caused by standing for 15 minutes, w/ my cane, when there were no more chairs left, sitting for an hour and walking up and down one flight of stairs.
Harder still than the ongoing failures of my form to function is the sluggish weight through which my mind now operates. Once used to reading dozens of books per year, most days I cannot maintain focus enough to read One full article. And if you find some eloquence in these words that you think belies the gravity of my condition. This post was for Invisible Illness Week, September 14th-20th, 2009.

Hey there! I had a question about the turkey legs.
My professor, who is also "pro-Disney" has mentioned that there is somewhat of a mystery meat in the turkey legs. He said that he found out(he's one of the Disney professors at my college that recruits people for the Disney College Program) that the meat isn't actually what everyone thinks it is.
He said that turkey is a word open to interpretation. That turkey just means "wild bird" and that the meat Disney uses for the turkey leg is a bird called an enui(pronounced enu, similar to emu). I've looked it up online, can't even find the bird. Tried researching what the turkey leg is made out of... nothing.
I'm pretty sure this is false but I wanted to know if anyone else heard of this before?

I'm looking for people's opinions and experiences with Chef Mickey's. We have a dinner ADR for our January trip and I've read a lot of negative things about the place it seems. So I'm trying to decide if we should try something else that night or keep the adr.
