    1 week from today we will be in the air on our way to WDW. 7 days. We've been planning this for at least the past 11 months. Time to break out the suitcases.

    As the afterglow of a wonderful Christmas begins to fade, all eyes turn to our next vacation to Disneyworld. Just 144 days to go until we hit the road. Hope everyone had a very, Merry Christmas.

    Congrats, Dan, but as frequently as you are at DW, why not just pull the trigger and be done with it; come on, Skipper, you know you want to!

    I showed DW that SoG was having $79 rooms again. She stated that we are NOT going back to WDW, maybe DLR but FL is not on the plans in the near future. I think it's just to much walking for her and she likes the smaller footprint of DLR.

    "Although we think it's DOPEY that Pluto has been downgraded to a dwarf planet, which has made some people GRUMPY and others just SLEEPY, we are not BASHFUL in saying we would be HAPPY if Disney's Pluto would join us as an 8th dwarf. We think this is just what the DOC ordered and is nothing to SNEEZE at."

    Hey Dan, congratulations on your new job. I will be heading to WDW sometime this Summer. What are the best places to eat? I see you are a production wizard, I also work in this industry. Maybe we can work together if someone I'm working with needs help. What company did you end up working for, if you don't mind me asking?

    This is a tough question, kinda like asking what's the best song ever. So much depends on what kind of food you like, whether you're more into fast food or sitdown, if you want characters or just a quiet meal. That said, here are my favorites -

    The California Grill, up on top of the Contemporary Resort. Great food, incredible service, and a view of the Magic Kingdom and the Seven Seas Lagoon that's just spectacular. My favorite restaurant on the planet!

    The Coral Reef inside of Epcot. Excellent seafood seated by the windows and looking into one of the largest manmade coral environments anywhere.

    La Hacienda de San Angel in Epcot. A whole lotta great Mexican food with a nice view over the World Showcase Lagoon. One of my new favorites.

    Flame Tree BBQ in Animal Kingdom. Tasty ribs with a nice view of Expedition Everest across the waterway.

    Cosmic Ray's Starlight Caf in the Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland. Pretty standard fast food, but what makes this special is entertainment from the audio-animatronic Sonny Eclipse.


    As to your other question, I'm working for an A/V systems integrator called Whitlock, but I'll be working at Alcon Labs in Ft. Worth. They make all kinds of eye stuff, but I'll still be doing A/V work, keeping their projection and video conferencing systems up and running for their 3500 people on their huge campus. I start Monday - can't wait!

    Thanks Dan, I like ALL food and locations! Your job sounds great, too bad you couldn't find a gig at WDW in their production department. Cheers!
