Episode 11 - Ours Goes To Eleven
The Cast: Melanie Bounds, Ian Mitchell, Carol Robert, John Yaglenski
Are Gary and Carol the same person?
ESPN The Weekend & Flower & Garden Festival- Mel got up at 4am for Mike & Mike and it was a mess- If you can go down for the event on Friday, crowds were light- Main action went on in front of the Sorcerer’s hat- Curly looks good- Flower and Garden Festival looks lovely, waiting for some topiary to bloom- Tangled tower looks cool
Le Cellier Steakhouse moved to a two credit dining location- Only restaurant at this level in Epcot – supply and demand
Duffy obligatory mention- The St. Patrick’s Day Duffy- Looks like it’s an integrated package – not an outfit- Mel and Ian are sucked into the land of Duffy
Pins, Vinylmation, Collectibles & More
Fantasyland Skyway Station Being Removed- There goes the Horizons mention- Originally closed at the end of 1999- Peter Pan queue extended, improve traffic flow
Haunted Mansion Queue- Installing new showpieces, rerouting queue- We speculate on how this would work and it turns out we were part right and part wrong on the layout. I don’t think we were able to visualize how things would come together.- The Ghosts at the end of the ride – what are their names again?
Phineas & Ferb discussion– Characters and their foamy counterparts
INTERCOT’s Best of – Disney Smells- John associates the smell of damp wood / tropical plants with the Polynesian- Carol says it has to be the water, but her favorite is the popcorn at Downtown Disney in Disneyland- Mel goes with the smells from ‘Soarin including the queue that is a mixture- The smell of ‘Soarin! You’re welcome Disney marketing.- Ian says all of yours are mine… but the bakery smell at the end of Main Street- Slim Jims remind Ian of Spaceship Earth
The Wave of American Flavors now offering a breakfast buffet
Grad Nights ending at Disney Parks in 2011
When to go to avoid crowds?

Hmmmm download is not working
Hey all, long time lurker first time poster. I'm sorry my first ever post is a complaint but I can't seem to download episode 11. It plays fine in the embedded player but the link "download this episode" is to episode 10. http://www.intercot.com/interactive/...episode-11.asp
I then manually changed it to episode 11 and it still downloaded episode 10. I've been reading intercot since 2004 and never felt the need to post, but I love the podcast! Since I'm ranting, can we please update the resort page to include Bay Lake? It has the other DVC properties but not BLT. http://www.intercot.com/resorts/disney/default.asp
Thanks!

The download link is my fault - I'll fix it in a few minutes.
I can pass your note onto Carol about BLT

Ok, so I listened intently to the podcast, waiting for the clues as to what "OCTOBER 2012 LMNOP" means, all I got was a teaser at the very end. My curiosity is peeked. When will we learn more!

I was having the same trouble with episode 10 but I thought my nook was the problem. I love these podcasts and when a new one is posted I can't wait for my son to nap so I can listen.
Thanks for the run down on espn weekend. My hubby is a huge sports fanatic and is a frequent caller on the fan. We have always wanted to go. Listening to Mel's experience makes me know for sure that we have to check it out one year.
I agree with Ian on LeCellier. I would rather use my 2 credits on Cali Grill or Yachtsman Steakhouse. LeCellier is good and I agree they needed to do this because the demand was so high for it and it's so tiny in there.
Horizons was mentioned 3 times. Lol I just want you to know john that Horizons was and always will be a ride that my brother and sisters talk about to this day. We miss it and are glad to know we aren't the only ones so keep mentioning it.
When you all were talking about the haunted mansion queue area again I started to wonder do you think they are trying to slow the line down because of the pushing and shoving that goes on inside the loading area? I am wondering if this is their solution to not packing the room to capacity and then all those people push and shove to get on the ride. It is one of the only reasons that I can come up with for this queue because there usually is no wait. I do know that it has been a complaint of guests about the mad rush out of the stretching room. Maybe this is the solution to that problem.
Great podcast once again! Thanks!

I think when I spoke on this (which I did?) I was thinking more of weekends year round being crazy. That is the case, right?

Not quite. Sundays are still VERY slow most of the year. We tend to go on Sundays as a family, opening time until about noon is typically the "dead zone". In the slow seasons, the entire day is pretty slow. Also, during the busy season, most APs are blocked out on Saturdays, and actually, those Saturdays tend to be LESS crowded than on days where the APs are able to come.
The busiest days, on average, are Fridays and Saturdays. During slow season, Fri and Sat wait times rarely exceed the 60 min mark, on the most popular E ticket attractions.

Trivia for today, who knows where the reference "Ours goes to eleven" comes from?

love the episode guys/gals. loved the "smells" talk, water on the rides and main street bakery are my fav's. especially enjoyed the DVC discussion, and am interested to know if anyone thinks its a bad or breakeven at best investment, or is it a good long term deal as resort room prices are only going to go up.

Feel free to pop up to the DVC forum and look around. There is a lot of information there about costs and expenses.
As Ian and I said, once you've stayed in a villa it is hard to go back to a regular room. That alone is worth it for me. Plus I use my points in Disneyland.
