I agree. It makes no sense. He posted pictures and the Fast Pass now says "Not able to accommodate late arrivals" and there is a reminder on the Times guide. Why go through all the effort and still let people on late?

I'll go ahead and add my new favorite Hidden Mickey to this thread since it is discussed in this podcast as well.
Last weekend when I was checking into Coronado Springs, I was standing in line bored waiting for my turn and was snapping pics. When you walk into the check-in area, look on the far wall towards the top and you'll see a somewhat elaborate design on the wall with the words Coronado Springs Resort. To the naked eye, it just appears there is faint lighting on it, but when I put up my iPhone to take a pic, what you see below appears. It was so cool, and I guess I made such a spectacle that I drew the attention of a manager type. He came over and asked me what I'd found and then told me they show kids this HM through their phones all the time. I'm such a geek!
So the fact I found this one all by myself and I think it's pretty cool makes it my new favorite.

Well, maybe. But I think this does eliminate those people who were hanging on to them all day to use all at once at the end of the day. How long could you possibly say you were held up for/unable to ride? They might excuse an hour or so past the window, but what if you were there three hours or more later? What then? I'm guessing they run out of sympathy and don't let it slide at that point, when they previously allowed it. So not a big change, but I think there will be some people forced to change habits.

I am listening now. Just heard the reference to the Walt Disney World Explorer CD-ROM. I still have mine. Had forgotten all about it. I will have to toss it in and take a walk down memory lane. Thanks for that!

Ugh...don't have time to listen tonight but it sounds SO good! Back to the Future references, the WDW Explorer CD-Rom (which I tried unsuccessfully to load onto our newest computer...I guess it's too old), PA Coal country references...wait, I can't relate to that at all.
John must have gotten my "finish the podcast" vibes I was sending out telepathically last night. Can't wait to listen!

Well, Sean (Disney Hungarian) just tweeted that it wasn't compatible with his computer either. Boo!

That's right. No luck getting Windows 7 to install it. I will start a new thread in the hopes someone knows a solution.

I do have fond memories of Aquanet.

Listening to the 'Best of" segment right now, and - we had our dates all messed up for when our big group pic was in front of Mission: Space and then when I rode with all you guys.
The group pic you are thinking of John is from December 2003, which was the 5th anniversary of INTERCOT. I don't think you were there at that meet Gary. Or I could be wrong? We all rode together during HGOI in 2005.
And yes, I still contend Buzz Lightyear at WDW is lame. Astro Blasters for the win!

Straight up!
I listened late last night. My personal opinion is that Ian probably got a LAME score on Disneyland Astro Blasters and he is bitter.

But of course!
I'll have to take a picture of what inspired my suggestion of "Best Attraction Vehicle."
I feel famous now for all the mentions on the show.

I listened to the podcast last night in work, and, as usual, I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Also, thanks for the fifteen minutes of fame now that I've been mentioned for two episodes in a row. I feel like a real celebrity!
In response to some burning questions, here are a few facts about Darth Macho:
- My real name is Frederick, but most people call me Fred.
- I'm obsessed with WDW. (duh)
- I am an avid WDW planner, but I make my plans flexible.
- I'm Italian-American, not Mexican.
- When I say gravy, I'm talking about pasta sauce.
- Darth refers to my life-long love for Star Wars and my allegiance to the Sith.
- Macho refers to my all-time favorite pro wrestler, Randy "Macho Man' Savage.
- I've stuck with my current avatar almost from the very start.
- My favorite color is red because I prefer redheads, I love red wine, and I'm a Red Sox fan.
- Ian was spot-on when he made the connection between the location of my favorite Hidden Mickey and my personality, because both are located on the same end of the horse.
- I have to double-check every post and reply to make sure I don't violate the TOS with my usually foul language.
- I also own the Walt Disney World Explorer CD-ROM, but it doesn't work anymore.
- I'm a follower of Gary's Column on Facebook.
- I'm going to WDW in 2012!
Here's a link to some pictures of me. One is a recent Facebook photo (the glasses are fake, btw, but the nose is real), and one is of my favorite Hidden Mickey.
Thanks again for the mentions!
Viva Darth Macho!

No, I wasn't there in 2003. I don't leave the house in December because I'm suspicious of candy canes.

Hey, me too! I'm often shocked that it's always Ian getting edited and not me.
I love that one in Territory Lounge as well. I love Territory Lounge in general.

I am also suspicious of bunnies. What's with all the carrots? Why do they need such good vision? (Nerd alert.)
