Some excerpts from John Diresta bubbling over from his recent trip to WDW:  >
 >JD> ...then did TZTOT.  Without a doubt the scariest, greatest ride I've

John, I didn't know that they programmed or changed programs TZTOT!  Last 
year I went on three time trying to "feel something".  It was a total bust 
for me.  I hope they keep the bungee program when we return this year!  I 
agree that the alien encounter was a little disappointing, but they could 
easily improve it with some extra special effects.  Part of it, I guess, is 
knowing that this USED to be Man to the Moon and then USED to be Mission to 
Mars.  How many times can you recycle an attraction without losing something? 
 Which Disney resorts did you get to visit on that rainy day? The last time 
we tried that ended with us taking a tour of Disney Vacation Club and getting 
hooked on that.  Thanks for your remarks about doing Splash Mtn at night, 
we'll have to give that a try.  Glad to hear you had a great time!
