FROM THE AUTHORS: Eclipses
====================================================
Hi,
{{user("firstname")}}!
How many of you were able
to catch last night's (Wednesday's) lunar eclipse? Here in Ann Arbor the night
air was clear and very, very cold, and the full moon shone very brightly when
not dimmed to a deep blood-orange by Earth's shadow. It was a perfect night for
viewing, and we could watch right from the warm comfort of our living room
window! You can share your experiences here: http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/sunroom-fun-games-chat/151182-lunar-eclipse.html
Meantime, sales of
PassPorter's Walt Disney World 2008 are eclipsing all sales records. Sales at
our online store and at bookstores around the country are up more than 10% over
last year's record performance! Enthusiastic word-of-mouth from our readers is
a big part of the PassPorter story, and we can't thank you enough for your help
and support.
Our 2008 edition of
PassPorter's Disney Cruise Line and its Ports of Call is on track for a March
15 release date. Our press check this past Monday went off like a charm (it's
so cool to see those big presses all loaded up with printing plates for our
book). Now the books are "off press" and waiting to be bound. Just a
reminder that all chapters of this new edition are in an electronic preview
file for anyone who pre-orders through the PassPorter Store: http://www.passporterstore.com/store/dcl2008.aspx
Our 2009 edition of
PassPorter's Disneyland and Southern California Attractions is continuing to
develop (August 2008 release date) and we are still seeking feedback from both
readers who have our first Disneyland edition as well as from those who have
not yet seen the book -- please take our Disneyland Guidebook Survey [ http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=8UdpipuOw0_2bvtFICCJDjCA_3d_3d
] and send us your Disneyland tips and magical memories [ http://www.passporter.com/customs/tipsandstories.asp
].
Our PassPorter.com server
upgrade is 99 44/100% complete (we occasionally find a little something that
needs tweaking). You should be noticing blistering-fast responses from our
message board [ http://www.passporterboards.com
]. Our Photo Archive is also back in service; we hope its absence wasn't too
much of a hardship! We apologize for whatever inconvenience you may have
encountered (the boards were down for the better part of two days). If you
haven't been back lately, check things out -- you'll probably be very willing
to forgive! You can read more about the upgrades here: http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/using-your-passporter-tips-answers/150740-server-move-possible-downtime.html#post1929354

TRAVEL FEATURE: SeaWorld
Orlando: Reflections On A Return Trip Under The Sea
========================================================
by Cheryl Pendry, PassPorter
Featured Columnist
We all know how hard it
can be, cramming in everything that there is to do in Orlando. Not only do you
have the four Disney theme parks, which can easily take up the best part of a
week's vacation time, but there are also the Disney water parks, Downtown
Disney and then there's the world outside of Walt Disney World.
Options outside of Disney
include Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, Discovery Cove, and Busch Gardens Tampa,
and soon that will increase even more with the addition of Aquatica, the area's
new theme park. So perhaps it's no surprise that by the time we returned to
SeaWorld, it had been five long years since we had last visited it. In the
meantime, four whole vacations had come and gone, yet we'd just not been able
to squeeze in a return trip, even though it's a park that we love. I'd go as
far as to say that it's probably our favorite park outside of Walt Disney
World.
Firstly, what's changed in
the five years since we were there last? Well, there are no new thrill rides or
coasters for starters, which I find a bit of a relief. SeaWorld is already home
to Kraken, Journey to Atlantis and a simulator ride in Wild Arctic, which you
can opt to avoid if you're not a fan of such things. Instead, they've opted for
new additions that expand their attraction to the widest range of guests
possible.
Shamu's Happy Harbor gives
the youngest of visitors a great deal more to do with an area of the park aimed
specifically at them. It's certainly something that seemed to meet with the approval
of our six-year-old niece and three-year-old nephew on our most recent visit.
Another new area of the
park since our previous visit is the Waterfront and this was under construction
the last time we were here. Because of where it's situated (unsurprisingly
along a waterfront, hence the name), construction affected a lot of the park,
as it's close to some of the park's major attractions, including the penguins,
sharks and the ever-popular Clyde and Seamore show. The chaos caused by the
construction work was well worth it, as the Waterfront adds some much needed
dining options to the park. The area has a lovely Mediterranean theme and, as
we walked through it, I couldn't help but think of some of the beautiful sights
we had seen just a few months earlier on our Mediterranean cruise. It's just a
great shame that on the day we visited the temperatures took a huge tumble,
with highs only just into the 50s. I could imagine on a warmer day there'd be
nothing nicer than sitting outside on the Waterfront enjoying some food as you
look at the superb views.
One of those views across
the water is another of the newer additions to SeaWorld Orlando - and it's got
to be the most striking one as well. Let's be honest, Shamu has been around at
SeaWorld for as long as I -- and probably most of you -- can remember. On my
first visit to Orlando, when I was just eight, I clearly remember watching the
Shamu show and being spellbound by the majesty of these beautiful animals and
what they could do. That fascination remains with me today, but in keeping with
many other people, having grown up with shows like this, it takes a lot more to
wow me these days and no doubt SeaWorld realized that when they decided to
completely revamp their main show.
The result is Believe and
it's truly spectacular. Obviously designed to be more breathtaking and amazing
than ever before, it succeeds. Perhaps it's so powerful because it relies on
music, images, and the performance of the killer whales themselves. These
animals not only look stunning, but the bond they clearly have with their
trainers is one of themes running through the show, with the trainers becoming
the stars alongside them -- and rightly so.
Whatever money SeaWorld
spent on redesigning the show, it was worth every penny. I came away truly
wowed by Believe and honestly do believe ... that it's something you must see
when you visit. It's by far the best attraction at the park in my eyes and I'd
almost go as far as to say that it's worth the price of admission alone, it's
that good.
The rest of SeaWorld
pretty much remains the same as our last visit here and that's no bad thing, as
the animal exhibits are first class. If anything, we felt that there were more
manatees and dolphins to be seen than on our previous visits, but maybe we just
lucked out and saw more than usual. They pay a fine tribute to life in our
seas, allowing you to take a unique peek into the world of animals such as
penguins and sharks. There's no way you can call this place an aquarium and
perhaps that's why I get disappointed every time we visit one, as they can
never live up to somewhere like SeaWorld.
I always come back from
SeaWorld feeling that there is so much to explore there, with so many beautiful
animals that just don't get the attention from any other park, even though
Disney tries with the Seas with Nemo and Friends at Epcot. It's a shame that
it's been five years in between our visits to SeaWorld and this time, I'm
hoping that we don't wait five years before returning, as it's a great way to
spend a day whenever you're on vacation in Orlando.

DISNEY FEATURE: Disney's
Port Orleans Riverside Resort
========================================================
by Eileen Farnsworth,
PassPorter Guest Contributor
After not visiting Walt
Disney World for over 25 years, my family and I decided that it was time to
take a vacation there. So in December 2005, my husband, his parents, our four
children and I took the plunge. I was hooked! Since then I have been back three
times, and can't get enough. When I tell friends or family members about yet
another upcoming Disney trip, I get strange looks or questions like,
"You're going again?" My sister recently asked me, "Why do you
like going to Disney World so much? What makes it so special for you?"
I gave my sister's
question some serious thought before answering, "You know, I'm not sure
why. While I love the parks, the thing that really makes me love going there
are the Disney resorts. They are so beautiful, and have such creative theming,
that staying at one of them is almost like having two vacations in one."
My husband, Mark and I
have stayed at a different Disney resort each time we have gone to Walt Disney
World. We recently returned from a 6-night stay at Port Orleans Riverside. I
have to say that that staying there truly did make our visit to Walt Disney
World feel like two vacations in one! Staying at this resort, you almost feel
as though you have left Orlando and have been transported to the Deep South.
When you stay at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside, you have entered a place that
has a beautiful and relaxing setting, both by day and by night. You also will
be treated to plenty of Southern charm! And to top it all off, there are plenty
of fun activities that you and your family can enjoy during your time there.
Climbing off our Disney's
Magical Express bus, we headed straight toward the registration desk of the
Sassagoula Steamboat Company building. We checked in, and then walked down the
hallway to grab some lunch at the Riverside Mill Food Court. Right away we
noticed the low-level lighting, the dark wood beams, and the large windows with
a view of the marina that gave the room a pleasant and distinct ambiance.
Before sitting down to eat, I went to the ladies' room to wash my hands. I
think my husband was surprised when I immediately returned to our table and
said, "Give me the camera--I need to take a picture of the toilet!"
In the stalls were old-fashioned commodes, complete with wooden seats and an
overhead water tank with a flushing chain. We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto!
Since our room wasn't
ready yet, Mark and I decided to take a walk on the grounds. We went outside
and saw the large, operating water wheel and the beautiful Sassagoula River. We
went across a foot bridge and walked along the length of Magnolia Bend,
sometimes referred to as the "Mansion Section" of Riverside. The
buildings are beautiful renditions of southern plantations. The large green
lawns are dotted with magnolia trees, flower-filled gazebos and water
fountains. We stopped and watched some boats heading down the sun-glistened
water. We continued our walk through Alligator Bayou (also in Riverside) and
down to the French Quarter, Port Orleans Riverside's sister resort. As we
strolled through each of the areas, I said to my husband, "Oh, I wish we
were staying in this section!" The Alligator Bayou buildings are pretty
with their painted wood railings and shutters. Port Orleans French Quarter has
narrow brick-lined "streets" with names like "Rue D'Baga"
and "Cafe au Lait Way," and beautiful wrought-iron railings on its
buildings.
If walking through Port
Orleans is beautiful and relaxing during the day, then strolling through the
same area at night is simply breathtaking and magical. Whether you're gazing at
the moonlit Sassagoula River or sitting on a bench listening to the clip-clop
of the horse's hooves from the horse-drawn carriage, you can't help but be
entranced.
I had read that the
Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory made something called beignets
(pronounced ben-yays) that were supposed to be good, so my husband and I
decided to try those out. Oh, were we glad that we did! The baker deep-fries
rectangular pieces of dough and then sprinkles them with powdered sugar, right
there while you wait. The beignets are delicious, but be forewarned. If you
don't like getting your clothes or face dirty when you eat, you're in trouble.
Even the most careful of eaters will probably be sitting at their table with
powdered-sugar rings around their mouths and even more sugar dusted all over
their shirt. I think that the cast members who have to clean up after beignet
eaters should get extra pay!
The Port Orleans Resort is
brimming with "Southern Charm." Of course, southern charm can't exist
without the people who are supplying it. The ladies at the Food Court paraded
around one morning and in their own special way (banging on pots and pans)
wished a happy birthday to a young lady. My favorite instance of southern charm
occurred quietly--I may have been the only one who noticed. While riding the
boat from Downtown Disney back to the resort, we came upon another boat going in
the opposite direction. As the two boat drivers passed each other, they tipped
their hats and gave a slight bow to each other. I thought that it was just the
thing that a southern gentleman might do! Whether you're spending a leisurely
day away from the theme parks, or just relaxing at the end of a long day, there
are plenty of fun activities that the whole family can enjoy.
Go to the marina and rent
a boat so that you can enjoy the river up close. Or rent a bike (for one) or a
surrey bike (for up to 4 people), and explore the vast grounds of the resort.
Also, there are playgrounds where your children can play. Even more popular are
the pools. Whether you are a child or an adult, who can resist swimming in a
pool where a giant clam spews water?
Another activity that my
husband and I thoroughly enjoyed was watching "Bob, the Piano Man" at
the River Roost Lounge. Bob involves the entire audience in his performance
while he sings and literally "rocks and rolls" his piano. I think
that Bob is one of the few people who can get grown men to sing songs like
"My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean," "I Got You Babe," and
"Yippee-I-Aye, Yippee-I-Oh!" (The latter was sung while, at Bob's
suggestion, a few guys pranced around as if they were riding horses!) It was
definitely a performance to remember!
Walt Disney World has so
many wonderful resort hotels that it can be hard to choose between them. But,
Port Orleans is so beautiful, so full of southern charm, and so full of fun
activities for the whole family that you simply must choose to stay here at
least once. (That is, "Ya'll just gotta come visit!")

DISNEY TIPS FROM FELLOW
READERS
==========================================
Our readers deliver a
wealth of information! Here are the winners in this month's tip contest:
NOT PIN TRADING, PIN
GIVING!
"I am an older adult
(56), who leaves her husband and takes a 'girlfriend trip' to Disney World each
year. Even though my kids are grown, I just love to watch the little ones at the
Disney experience the joys of the World. During my last few trips, I have found
a fun way to share the magic. I, like many others, love pin trading and (also
like many others) buy some of my pins on eBay because they're less costly. It's
great fun to keep a spare to GIVE to a little person who needs a special lift.
It's amazing how happy I made one lonely little nine-year-old girl that I met
before Fantasmic, just by giving her a pin. She was traveling with her father
and wanted someone new to chat with, so we quickly became friends. Now I make
'pin giving' a part of every Walt Disney World visit. What fun!"
-- contributed by Cindy O.
SUPER SAMPLES
"While planning our
last trip, I would sign up for free samples for shampoo, conditioner, body
wash, lotion, deodorant, and other toiletries. (Many commercials have a web
site at the bottom of the screen where you can request free samples.) They come
in trial sizes (just like in the travel sizes at the store) and as they came in
the mail, I would store them in a box. By the time the trip came, I had almost
all of our toiletries taken care of for free!"
-- contributed by January
S.
SORCERER'S HAT PHOTO SPOT
"If you would like to
get a picture of the Hollywood Studios' Sorcerer's Hat without many people in
it, wait until just before the High School Musical 2 Pep Rally. The main
thoroughfare is roped off, Photopass photographers are available, and you can
easily get a great picture."

Here is this week's
journal entry:
"I feel the need ...
for green! The winter doldrums are entrenched in my soul and I need a good dose
of green vegetation and warm sunshine. I browsed my photos of landscapes,
flowers, and -- my favorite -- topiaries for inspiration today. I came across
an unusual photos of a two bison topiaries -- an adult bison and a calf. They're
beautiful, lush topiaries complete with horns and snouts. They look mighty warm
in their green leafy coats. I want to return to that location, but I can't
remember where I took the photo!"

Q & A WITH JENNIFER
& DAVE
====================================
meghan0106 asks:
"Does anyone know if the Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station is open? We
have attempted to try this eatery on our last two September trips but it is
always closed. Our next trip is this March. Does anyone know if we will be able
to eat noodles?"
Dave and Jennifer answer:
"We consider Tomorrowland Terrace to be a 'seasonal' dining experience.
They seem to open it during the busiest seasons, but keep it closed for much of
the rest of the year. You do stand a better chance of eating there in March
than in September, but I'm not going to place any bets on whether I'm
right."
