Main Street Trolley

"Main Street, U.S.A. is America at the turn of the century - the crossroads of an era. The gas lamps and the electric lamps, the horse drawn car and the auto car. Main Street is everyone's home town...the heartline of America." - Walt Disney

This picture was in my archives.  I think it's circa 1980.

An often overlooked fixture at the Magic Kingdom, is the horse drawn trolley on Main Street USA.  Guests can board these amazing vehicles at various times during the day in front of Cinderella's Castle, or in front of Main Street Station.  The trolley is also backdrop to the Main Street Trolley show, performed periodically during the day.  Performers sing and dance their way down Main Street, pausing to meet guests along the way.  It's quite cute.

The trolleys are drawn by Percherons and Belgians, both breeds are known for their strong pulling abilities.  Historically, they have been used to pull plows in Europe.  These horses weigh about 1 ton each, are between six and ten years old, and pull the trolley along Main Street about 24 times a day, 3 or 4 days a week.  The horses are shod with plastic shoes to make it easier on them.  When not working, they can be seen at their home, the Tri-Circle-D Ranch, at the Fort Wilderness campground.

In addition to the horse drawn carriage, several different vehicle options are available depending on the day and the crowds.  The suite of Main Street Vehicles include a horseless carriage, a replica of an early fire engine, a jitney, and the horse-drawn trolley.  All the vehicles make stops at either end of Main Street.

The next time you are in the Magic Kingdom, take a moment to enjoy these jewels of Main Street USA.

Disney Resolutions


2012: The Year of More Magic




Welcome to those of you joining me from Mommy Mouseketeer and those of you just hopping aboard. I am the 2nd stop on our Magical Blogorail.


Our Magical Blogorail topic for this month is “Disney Resolutions - what’d you’d like to see, accomplish, or do in the parks maybe that you haven't done yet, or maybe a Disney goal of some sort.”  

This topic was hard for me to write on, as 2011 was my big goal year for Disney.  I started my blog, celebrated by 40th birthday at Walt Disney World, and made a solo-trip to EPCOT in the early Fall.  It's hard to top that.  For 2012, I’m not sure I’ll even make it to Disney World, although squeezing in a trip is somewhat of a goal!  It could happen...

Since Disney has named 2012: The Year of More Magic, I think my Disney-related goal for 2012 is to do "more".  Do more with my blog and write more for others.  I like having my own blog, but I am finding that I enjoy writing for others more.  I suppose I'm not a super creative person.  Coming up with topics is not easy for me.  I have a lot of good ideas rolling around in my head, but trying to organize them is difficult.  However, I am very direct-able.  Give me a topic, I'll research it and write my little heart out.  Which is one reason I enjoy the Magical Blogorail so much.  Everyone picks such great topics!

Even though my goal for 2012 is small, it's something and that's better than nothing.  Baby steps is what I need right now.

Thank you for joining me today. Your next stop on the Magical Blogorail Loop is The Disney Point.

RFID and the future

RFID, what?!?  Yeah, I know what you are thinking, "what is is re-fid?"  Maybe's it's a new internet slang, like LOL or ROTFL or BFF.  Could be, I'm too old to understand that; however, I am a techy type and totally get RFID <insert geek moment>.   RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification Technology.
I've been thinking a lot about the application of RFID technology after is was mentioned this past summer, I think it's impact on park operations could be much more than what it appears to be.  Cue, the maniacal laugh, "mwaaaahhhhh"...
At the D-23 Conference and Expo this past summer, one item that was unveiled was a new wristband embedded with an RFID chip that would replace your “Key to the World” card and could be customized and expanded to enhance the guest’s experience.  While on the surface, this seems like an innocent, benign project, the implications of RFID are huge, and ground breaking.  


RFID wristband prototype
Currently, Disney guests are issued plastic cards, affectionately called, your “Key to the World” (KTTW), which serve as your room key, and contain an assortment of information such as your park ticket, credit card information, dining plan credits, and fast pass usage.  Integrating all this data into an easy, convenient card is something that Disney has done well.  I love the idea that all I have to take to the parks with me is in one card, which I keep on a lanyard around my neck.  So easy to access!  
If Disney chooses to launch the “RFID Wristbands” to replace the current plastic in 2012, you better hold on to your seat, because you won’t believe what RFID technology can do!  
For those of you who aren't familiar with RFID, it's a Radio Frequency Identification Technology that allows a unique code to be wirelessly transmitted if under a close range.  Similar to the tags you may have in your car for Toll Roads.  You drive under or near the sensor, your tag is logged, and you are charged your toll.  Simple enough concept, huh?  
So, here’s some basics that could be implemented by replacing the plastic card with a wristband.  
  • Hotel Room Key – simply hold your wristband to the door and your in.  That would be convenient!  How many times do you have to put your packages down in order to dig out your room key and open the door?  
  • Park Passes – instead of digging for your card, you hold your wrist up to the turnstile.  I’m not sure if we’ll every get past that biometric reader (the finger scan thing) which is really what slows the entry process, but we can hope!  
  • Disney Dining Plan – again, it’s about convenience of not having the deal with that card at all transactions.  Most people I see carry their KTTW card in their wallet, backpack or purse.  Not exactly the easiest to get to when you are at a counter or snack vendor payment station.  
  • Refillable drink program – your drink is dispensed only when the RFID tag is swiped over a sensor.  A similar project was rolled out this year with RFID tags on refillable mugs at the All Star Sports Resort.  In my opinion, I believe this was a concept test for the RFID tag and sensor system, more than a roll-out of RFID on the mugs themselves.  We have yet to see it deployed at other resorts.     
  • Photopass, Fast Pass, and Room Charges – same concept; the wristband will provide a convenient, easy to access solution to the card.  
But all these applications really don’t drive the technology.  It’s what is under the surface of this program that is extremely intriguing to me. 
Disney could integrate the RFID functionality into rides, character experiences and more by personalizing everything that is on that chip.  Prior to your vacation, you would upload information like your name, age, birthday, if you've been to Disney before, your likes/dislikes, etc., and integrate that into your experience.  Imagine your daughter meeting Ariel or Belle, and the character knowing her name, age, birthday, or that she’s been to Disney before.  As you ride an attraction, imagine digital screens coming alive with personnel messages to you or your favorite animated character appearing to address you by name.  And those ride photos?  They could be automatically uploaded to your photopass account.  
In the resorts, guest accommodations could be personalized.  Imagine, Cinderella coming alive in a Magic Mirror to tell your children a bedtime story.  Or Mickey Mouse wishing them a great day or their way out the door.  Food allergies?  No need to speak the chef.  He or she will know your preferences when you check-in for your reservation.
How about lost children (or lost parents)?  RFID tagged bracelets can be easily encoded with the parent’s contact information.  You would need a special sensor device to read the information on the tag, thus enabling cast members an easy way to contact the parents.  The bracelets are bright and colorful and could be customized with your child’s favorite character which will make it appealing to wear.  
In addition to the outward guest experiences, RFID could enhance theme park operations.  A long standing goal of most theme parks is to reduce or eliminate lengthy wait times at popular attractions.  Hence the development of the Fast Pass system and interactive queues, which don’t so much to eliminate wait times, but makes them more enjoyable.  One scenario with the wristband/RFID technology would be allowing guests to select preferred ride and show times and then use RFID scanners at attraction entrances to verify that they are showing up at the correct time.  RIFD tracking could also give Disney much more detailed data about its guests’ spending habits and movements in the park, which could in turn be a powerful tool.  Disney might be able to tell, for instance, that a family wandering one of its theme parks in the evening has no dinner reservations, and so could contact the family by cell phone to suggest nearby restaurants with available seats or promotions.  Even the ability to deploy more buses at park closing to accommodate the crowds would be a perk!  Long term tracking of guests’ movement in the park could enhance crowd flow, parade and event timing, and make park operations more efficient, in general.  
Before anyone jumps me on “invasion of privacy” and so forth, let me say that this program is planned to be optional in so much as you can request the same plastic card that you have today.  If you want to partake of the additions features that may be part of the wristband and embedded RFID chip, you’ll have to use the system.  Walt Disney World is private property and our expectation of what privacy we have to somewhat limited.  Just read the fine lines in park admission and resort lodging.  
If all this RFID technology sounds unrealistic, think again.  The Walt Disney Company’s theme park division has been quietly working a major technology initiative that could radically transform the theme-park experience.  Details of the project, which has been dubbed within Walt Disney Parks and Resorts as “next generation experience” or “NextGen,” are being held secret.  But there is widespread speculation among bloggers who follow the company that part of the project involves RFID technology that could be used in concepts ranging from keyless hotel-room doors to rides and shows in which the experience varies based on an individual guest’s preferences.  The budget for the program is between $1 billion and $1.5 billion, according to former Disney parks executives who have spoken to media sources only on the condition that they would not be identified.  The amount is roughly comparable to what Disney would spend to build two 4,000-passenger cruise ships.  WOW!  $1 to $1.5 Billion?!?  To spend that kind of money would definitely be a game-changer in the industry and one that I am looking forward to.  Will 2012 be the year?  Maybe so.  I’m anxiously awaiting the “NextGen”…whatever it may be, but I’m a techno-geek kind of gal.

Favorite Shopping Experience





Welcome to the first stop aboard Magical Blogorail Black.  Enjoy the ride as we share with you our favorite shopping experiences in Disney parks. 

Just in time for Christmas shopping, I thought I would talk about a unique shopping experience hidden in one of the Walt Disney World resorts.




Located on the second level of the Grand Floridian Resort, just inside the doors that lead to the monorail station, is a bath and body products shop, Basin White.  Basin White is part of the Basin chain with products sold online and at few select locations in the United States.  There is a Basin shop in the Downtown Disney Marketplace. 

Basin White is a premium version of Basin with its product inventory made with higher quality ingredients, as well as unique items that can’t be found in the other locations. 

The store itself is attractive and inviting.  Styled in black and white tile, with the appearance of an upscale Victorian bathroom, the store fits in well with the Grand Floridian theme.  The layout of the store is long and skinny, and filled with an assortment of bath and body products ranging from lotions, salts/scrubs, soaps, and body bombs.  The store is accessorized with sinks, a claw foot tub, white cabinets, and marble counters. 


Basin White offers a large variety of fresh cut soaps, including the popular Mickey ears soap which is sold only at the WDW locations.  Priced at around $6.99 for a slice of approximately 100 grams, these make for inexpensive, unique and functional gifts.  The assortment of fresh cut soaps is amazing, and interesting.  In addition to milk-based and other specialty soaps, Basin White sells fresh cut glycerin soap with a variety of cute designs processed into the soap, most notably being the mickey ears. 
                                                                                                                        

Another product sold only at the Disney locations is the Mickey-ears Bath Bombs.  A Bath Bomb looks like a hardened scoop of ice cream, which when placed in a bath, bubbles and fizzes adding essential oils and aroma to your tub.  The Mickey themed bath bombs include Mickey-ear confetti throughout the product.  Another cute gift at a moderate price for yourself or your favorite cousin, dog watcher, or house-sitter. 

In addition, Basin White sells a variety of spa accessory products, salts/scrubs, lotions, and body perfumes.  Samples are provided throughout the store to “try” the products.  The body salt scrub will make your hands feel so soft and smell delicious!

All Basin White products are made in the US, with no parabens, alcohol, or mineral oils.  Also, their products are not tested on animals.    

If you are a resort guest, you can have your purchases shipped to your room; however, because Basin is not an Disney affiliated store, it will take longer.  Please be sure to ask the cashier.  If you have a concern about what can be returned home with you in your carry-on vs. checked luggage, be sure to ask.  The staff at Basin White are well versed with the TSA rules governing their products. 

I could spend a lot of time and money in Basin white.  The aroma of the store is amazing and relaxing.  If you want an at-home spa experience, Basin White is the place to go while at the WDW resort.  A great place tucked away in the corner of the Grand Floridian, it is definitely worth checking out during a day of resort-hopping on the monorail.

A Different Way of Touring




Every time we go to Disney World, it is the most wonderful experience and I wouldn’t trade it for anything, but I have to admit it’s not a “vacation” in the true sense of the word.  I plan and plan and plan to tour with the least crowds or the shortest walks, but all that walking, all the crowds, the lines, the waits, the getting up for rope drop and staying through the fireworks really doesn’t make for a restful time.

Most dictionaries define vacation as “a period of suspension of work, study, or other activity, usually used for rest, recreation, or travel; recess or holiday”.  How many times have we come home from our Disney trips, absolutely exhausted?  Why do we put ourselves through that?  Because we love Disney so much is really the answer, but I wonder, can you make Disney a real vacation experience?  Taking into account all the restrictions that most people have – vacation time, school schedules, airfare prices, climate, crowd levels, etc., what has to be done to make Disney a “vacation”?  I’ve been thinking and thinking and thinking some more on the subject and here’s what I’ve come up with.  I’d like feedback on if this is how you travel; or any pros/cons. 
Making Disney a vacation rather than a “touring the parks” experience.  Can it be done?   
When I think of vacation, I think of a week on the beach or poolside sipping fruity umbrella drinks, eating to my heart’s content and sleeping in.  Alas, the later is not possible with young children, so I’ll just have to make do with a pool and plenty of kids activities.  Does Disney World have that?  Yup, check one!  However, what I don’t want on my vacation is a day so full of places to go, things to do that I don’t feel rested.  Does Disney World have that?  Nope…well, maybe…here’s what I was thinking.  Is it possible to go to WDW and stay at a resort and only hit a park once or twice during the visit?  I mean, you’ve traveled all the way out there and spent all that money to be located on-property.  How do you resist the temptation to check out the latest attraction at the EPCOT, or have to ride Rock n Roller coaster once?  What if your entire day was spent at the resort poolside, enjoying the many activities offered during the day, and maybe venturing out in the evening for a dinner at another resort?  Sounds heavenly.  Sounds like the makings for a Disney Vacation Club commercial doesn’t it?  No, I’m not advocating or promoting Disney DVC in any way.  We’re not DVC members and, for our family situation, it really doesn’t work; but I like the concept of using Disney World as a “vacation resort” as oppose to a “touring destination”.
The question in my mind has always been: is spending the extra money to stay on property just to enjoy the resort and not focus on the parks really worth it?  Or doesn’t it make better sense to find a vacation destination closer to home for those vacations you just want to use for rest and relaxation?
Coming back year to year just to enjoy certain aspects of the entire WDW complex really appeals to me because, frankly, you just can’t see everything WDW has to offer on one visit.  Combine trying to squeeze everything in day after day, with crowds, heat, sometimes rain, tired kids, and sore feet, I’ve found it’s just not possible.  Focusing on one park each trip would allow a better chance of delving into those Disney details that I just adore.   So, I think taking a step back and looking at Disney in pieces may be a better option.  Just need to convince my husband of that! 
Have you ever done Disney this way?  How did it work?

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

"Hang onto your hats and glasses, folks, cause this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness!"
Although Big Thunder Mountain Railroad opened in September 23, 1980; it's Grand Opening took place on this day in history, November 15, 1980.
I was just 11 when I first experienced Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in the summer of '81 and it definitely made an impression on me.  I adored the ride and still do today.  While it's not considered by most to be a high intensity roller coaster, it suits me just fine.  
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, circa early '80s
Located in at the far end of Frontierland, past Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a wonderfully themed coaster.  Guests board ore cars in the headquarters of the Big Thunder Mining Company for a 3 1/2 minute journey through scenery reminiscent of Arizona's Monument Valley.  Throughout the attraction you will see caves, a waterfall, big horned sheep, dinosaur bones, an abandoned mining town, and sulfur pools.  Speeds can read 24-30 miles per hour and if you are sitting in your mine car by yourself, the centrifugal force as you round the turns will pull you from one side to the other.  As an added bonus, if you ride in the late afternoon the ride is supposedly faster because the grease on the track has heated up allowing less friction between the wheels and the rails.  While I can't attest to the speed, I can say the back cars do experience a great deal more whipping action around the turns.  In addition, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is beautiful at night.  Be sure to ride after dark if you have the chance.
Like most Disney attractions, there is a backstory.  The backstories fascinate me and adds an additional layer of theming to the visual and auditory experience.  The story goes that some time in the late 1800s, gold was discovered on Big Thunder Mountain in the American southwest.  Overnight, the small town of Tumbleweed became a booming mining town. Mining was prosperous, and an line of mine trains was set up to transport the ore. Unknown to the settlers, the Mountain was sacred to local Native Americans and was cursed.  Before long, the settlers' desecration of the mountain caused a great flash flood, which destroyed the mines and town, and the town was abandoned. Some time later, the locomotives were found to be racing around the mountain on their own…without engineers or a crew. The Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was founded in the old mining camp to allow tourists to take rides on the possessed trains.  
I amazed how realistic the rock structure appears.  Special care was taken by the Imagineers to make it appear that the rocks were there originally, and the track was built around the rocks.  The action of the ride takes place completely in and around the tunnels of the mountain.  The thrills on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad are meant to come from the perceived instability of the mine and its threats of collapse. Sound effects of a typical locomotive are piped into the surrounding scenery to add realism to guests, including the steam whistle sounding, even though there is no whistle on the locomotives.
Throughout the attraction you can hear old west songs like Big Rock Candy Mountain, Blue Tail Fly, Red River Valley, Oh My Darling Clementine, among others.  
Interesting facts:
  • The names of the six trains are: U.B. Bold, U.R. Daring, U.R. Courageous, I.M. Brave, I.B. Hearty and I.M. Fearless.
  • During construction, workers used 6,500 tons of steel beams, rods and mesh, 4,675 tons of concrete, 90,000 gallons of water and 4,000 gallons of desert paint
  • There are 20 Audio-animatronics throughout the attraction including chickens, donkeys, possums, a goat, a resident in his long-johns spinning through the flood in a bathtub, and a rainmaker named Professor Cumulus Isobar.
  • Three rusty gears laying on the grass as you enter the station form a Hidden Mickey.
  • The main butte is 197.6 feet above sea level and 100 feet above ground.

Phantom Manor


Welcome to those of you joining me from Delightfully Disney and those of you just hopping aboard.  I am your 4th stop on our Magical Blogorail. 

Our topic this month on the blogorail was chosen by our resident Disneyland Paris expert, Amanda over at Manda’s Disney Blog.  I think this is Amanda’s payback for all the Walt Disney World topics that we, on the Magical Blogorail Black loop, have bombarded her with.  You see, until recently, she had never been to Walt Disney World in Florida.  Thanks, Amanda, for turning the tables on us with a topic on Disneyland Paris!  You go girl! 

Not having been to Disneyland Paris, or France for that matter, writing about the theme parks there is proving to be little bit difficult.  However, the question on the table is “What would you, or do you, look forward to the most if you were to visit Disneyland Paris?”   I should be able to answer the "would" part of that question, right?  I don’t have to go to “plan” a trip in my head. 

So, what would I look forward to on a visit?  Wow, where do I start?  There are so many, that I’ll just pick one. 

I’m going to say I would most look forward to seeing the alternate version of my favorite WDW attraction, The Haunted Mansion.  In Disneyland Paris, it’s called Phantom Manor.  I just watched a youtube video of it, and did a little research on it.  In typical Disney style, it appears amazing; and I love the backstory with its ties to Thunder Mesa and the Western River Expedition.  Thunder Mesa and the Western River Expedition was an original attraction concept developed by Marc Davis, WED artist and former Disney animator who was largely responsible for Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean.  This attraction would have been designed for Frontierland in the Magic Kingdom in Florida but for a variety of reasons, never came to be, so it’s interesting to see that concept brought forward in Disneyland Paris.  



Phantom Manor in Disneyland Paris


Phantom Manor is located in the Frontierland section in Disneyland Paris. Sharing a similar theme with the Haunted Mansion attractions at the other Disney parks throughout the world, this version has a different plotline.

The influence for the story of the ride is Leroux's novel, The Phantom of the Opera, as well as many European gothic legends, which have been altered for the Western setting. The architectural style of the house is Victorian Second Empire, and bears a strong resemblance to Bates Manor from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.

The Story of Phantom Manor:
Henry Ravenswood was a Western settler who struck gold in Big Thunder Mountain and founded the Thunder Mesa Mining Company, thus creating the city of Thunder Mesa (and Frontierland as a whole). Ravenswood became rich and built himself a Victorian manor high on Boot Hill overlooking Big Thunder Mountain, where he raised a family and had a daughter, Melanie Ravenswood.  A series of unfortunate events culminated in a great earthquake which destroyed Henry's family and fortune.  

But all is not as it seems.  Henry's daughter may have been planning to marry against her father's wishes. The body we see hanging from the rafters at the beginning of the attraction may, in fact, be the unfortunate groom-to-have-been. And, perhaps, the Phantom of the Manor is Henry Ravenswood himself, driven to madness after losing his fortune and family. Perhaps the Phantom is doing whatever he can to keep his family together... forever.

Creepy, huh?

The ride mechanism is the same as the other versions.  Guests board Doombuggies, each buggy accommodating two adults, that traverse an Omnimover track through the Manor and associated ghostly scenes. 

In the Manor house guests see familiar sights such as a twitching suit of armor, corridor of doors, a demonic grandfather clock spinning backwards, and Madame Leota in her Séance Room.  Here she summons ghost and dark creatures to a mysterious ball: 
  • Goblins and Ghoulies, creatures of fright, we summon you now, to dance through the night!
  • Esprits et fantômes, sur vos fiers destriers, escortez dans la nuit la belle fiancée! (Spirits and Phantoms, on your proud Stallions, escort the beautiful Bride into the night!)
  • Warlocks and Witches, answer this call! Your presence is wanted at this ghostly ball!
  • Des douze coups de minuit aux mâtines sonnantes, nous valserons ensemble, macabre débutante! (As twelve strokes of midnight sound from the bells, we shall waltz together, gruesome debutante!)
  • Join now the Spirits in Nuptial Doom, a ravishing Bride, a vanishing Groom...    
As guest leave the Séance Room, they are taken into the Ballroom where a ghostly wedding party is taking place.  Drunken ghosts swing from the chandelier and elegantly dressed ghostly dancers twirl around the ballroom.  From the Ballroom, guests enter the Bride’s Boudoir where Melanie (now an old lady) weeps in front of a mirror.  Out the window the Doombuggies go (or were they pushed by the Phantom?) and down into a vast graveyard.  The Doombuggies then travel underground, past open coffins and the famous marble busts of four Phantoms singing “Grim Grinning Ghosts”.  Through a hole, the Doombuggies enter Phantom Canyon, a twisted, supernatural version of a post-earthquake Thunder Mesa.  Guests pass the ruined town hall where a mayor (whose dialogue consists of clips from the Haunted Mansion by Paul Frees, the original Ghost Host) stands, inviting guests to be the Manor's 1000th ghost.

The Phantom then leads guests towards the exit of the ride, where Melanie's corpse is pointing to the way out. The vehicles enter a chamber lined with large mirrors in which the ghostly image of the Phantom can be seen above the Doombuggies. Vehicles travel through the wine cellar, where Castmembers help them disembark their Doombuggies.

As guests walk towards daylight, a tiny figure of Melanie stands to the side of the passageway behind bars, telling guests to "hurry back" and to "bring their death certificates". Finally, guests exit into Boot Hill, a Cemetery filled with humorous gravestones.

So, that’s it for my pick of what I would most look forward to on a trip to Disneyland Paris.  Alas, I don’t see a trip to France in my near future, but I can always dream! 

Thank you for joining me today.  Your next stop on the Magical Blogorail Loop is The Disney Chick.
