Buzz Lightyear has his own attraction (sorry Woody). We hopped inside a small spaceship and manuevered it 360 degrees, shooting laser beams at the badguys. So what if most of the badguys don't move. It still requires skill.
My top score was around 19,000 points. I blew Zorg away. (he he he).
Disney definitely has some good restaurants. The Chinese restaurant at Epcot was the best. The General Tsao's Chicken, was rich and flavorful. The Brown Derby(MGM/Disney), originator of the Cobb Salad, provides elegance, class and wonderful food. But the best overall restaurant is Cinderella's Castle. We had wanted to eat breakfast there, but that would have required reserving a table two months previous, so we settled for lunch. The Caeser Salad and Prime Rib was excellent, and the service is the best in all of Disneyland. Keep an eye on the windows for a surprise. (No, I won't give it away (today). But I might tell you tomorrow.)

I nominate Steve at Coronado Springs Resort for employee of the year. Thanks for driving me to the doctor and telling me about the park.
I didn't see Michael Jackson and Webster on Space Mountain. I guess they were feeding the Llamas.
Disney Fast Pass is out a sight!
Disney will let you make a reservation for a ride a couple of hours in advance. When it's time, you get to cut to the front of the line, past all the sweaty people, staring at you in disgust.
The Drew Carey attraction at MGM/Disney studios is a waste of time. Considering the special effects and talent at Disney's disposal, this "attraction" is an underperformer.
Alien Encounter, at Epcot, is a good theatrical experience. A few well placed psychological tricks make this attraction better than a haunted house. Don't take small children. They won't get it. And neither will some adults.
I am back! After a lengthy vacation, Willie returns. Look for lots of Disney World comments in the near future.
