Mike surprised Mark by telling him that he had provided the final donation to put Mark over the top in hitting his $4,000 goal (http://www.walkamerica.org/personal_page.asp?w=679795) in fundraising for the March of Dimes.

Mike and Mark provided our Tip of the Week, recommending that you keep a trip log and write a trip report about your trip. It's a great way to remember the small things about your trip, and it'll help you plan future trips. And if you post the trip report to MousePlanet's Trip Report Forums for trips to California (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/forumdisplay.php?f=53), Florida (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/forumdisplay.php?f=54) and abroad (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/forumdisplay.php?f=55), it'll help to entertain and inform other MousePlanet readers.

Featured topic: Kim Button interview and discussion of Walt Disney World's smoking ban
You can buy Kim's book here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0741432684/disneinforguided/).
More information about the book is available on Kim's web site (http://www.disneysurvivalguide.com/).
Mike Scopa also reviewed (http://www.mouseplanet.com/articles.php?art=ms061201ms) Kim's book.

This week's Featured Attraction is Mission: Space (http://www.mouseplanet.com/guide.php?pg=BDA111) at Epcot.

This week's Review system spotlight focuses on Carnation Cafe (http://www.mouseplanet.com/cgi/reviews/do/display.cgi?product-sku=dlcarnationcafe) at Disneyland Park. You can also find Carnation Cafe in our Park Guide (http://www.mouseplanet.com/guide.php?pg=AAE402).

This week's Ask the Kid segment asked Mark's 8-year-old son: What is your favorite snack in all of Walt Disney World?

This week's Magical Moment was a story from Ricardo Ruiz, who shared some humor with an Outdoor Foods Cast Member who was working past the end of their shift at Disneyland.

In Listener Feedback, the suggestion was made that instead of adding a Trivia Question of the week, there should be a Stump the Hosts segment. What do you think (http://www.mouseplanet.com/email.php?type=w&w=pc)?

Well, maybe it's a meet-and-greet for Q from the James Bond movies? :D

But if they had a device that was more than state-of-the-art, then it could remind the person of the number.That sounds like an exceptionally unique device.

I was cringing every time Kim said that....ugh!


According to Websters...

queue - a waiting line especially of persons or vehicles

Sooooo...a "queue line" is a "waiting line line".
