EPCOT Spaceship Earth Descend Video from May 19, 2010

I like riding Spaceship Earth at EPCOT.  The ride has changed scenes and narrators throughout the years.  The most noticeable change is on the decent portion of the ride.  During the current descent, an interactive video is shown in the ride vehicle to answer questions.  From the answers that you give, an entertaining video is created starring you!  The ride takes a picture of your face at the beginning of the ride, and puts the picture in the video.  Here is video of the descent back in May 19, 2010.


Travelling from Port Orleans French Quarter to Downtown Disney on a Boat

For many guests that stay in the Walt Disney World resorts, the normal transportation that WDW provides to Downtown Disney is a bus.  If you stay at Port Orleans French Quarter, the resort offers a shuttle boat that you can ride to get to Downtown Disney.  The boat service is great and relaxing.  On the way to Downtown Disney, the boat trip allows you to see the Tree House Villas at Saratoga Springs, golf courses, Saratoga Springs resort.  I highly recommend taking this mode of transportation if you stay at Port Orleans French Quarter.  Here is a video I took in May 2010 of the boat trip from Port Orleans French Quarter to Downtown Disney.


Magic Kingdom Rope Drop

Each WDW park used to do something special to kick off the opening of the park for the day.  It seems now the only park that still holds a rope drop ceremony is the Magic Kingdom.  The ceremony happens in the area right after the main entrance to the park, at the top of the railroad station.  The fire chief welcomes all the visitors and there is a whole song and dance that is done.  One lucky family is selected to officially open up the park.  Rather than describe it, let me show you a video that I took of it back in May 20, 2010.
