========================================================
TRAVEL FEATURE: Globe Theatre
========================================================
by Cheryl Pendry, PassPorter Feature Columnist
William Shakespeare is a name that's known throughout the
world. Regarded by many as the best writer in history, his work has been
translated into just about every language in the world. Many of us no doubt
studied one of his plays at school and perhaps some of us even performed them.
Of course, the plays were also performed in Shakespeare's
day and if you were in London in the early 1600's, the chances are if you
wanted to catch a play, you'd have headed for the Globe Theatre on the banks of
the River Thames, just opposite St. Paul's Cathedral. Now 400 years on,
visitors to London can once again head for the Globe and see how it would have
looked in Elizabethan times.
That's due to the vision of one man. American actor and
director Sam Wanamaker came to London in 1949, expecting to find some sort of
monument to the Globe Theatre, but instead he found nothing to mark the site
where the theatre had once stood. From then on, it became his lifeÕs mission to
put that right. However, Sam didnÕt just have some simple statue in mind as a
memorial to what was there 400 years earlier. He had a much grander vision, one
that involved bringing the Globe back to life for a new generation of theater
goers.
It's often easier to have an idea than make it a reality,
and that proved to be the case with the Globe. I won't spoil the story, as it's
beautifully told in the visitor exhibition at the Globe, but let's just say
that building work didn't start on site until 1987, with the construction of
the theatre only getting underway six years later in 1993. Sam Wanamaker lived
long enough to see that construction start, but sadly he died the same year,
without seeing his project completed.
Construction took another four years, but since 1997, every
summer has seen performances of some of Shakespeare's greatest works in exactly
the same way that they would have been viewed in the days of Elizabethan
England. The original Globe was burnt to the ground in 1613, after a fire
started in its thatched roof. A mere 50 years later, much of the capital
suffered a similar fate in the Great Fire of London. Ever since then, no
thatched roofs had been permitted in the city, until the Globe that is. Just
another example of the faithfulness of this reconstruction is the fact that
there's no roof over the middle of the theatre. So, when you go to see a play
there, you're at the mercy of the Great British weather -- and anyone who's
ever been to London knows that can mean rain at any time of the year. If you're
seated, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but for those standing, they
could get wet during a downpour!
So how does the theatre work? There are seats, arranged in
three semi-circular tiers, costing between £12 and £32 ($24-$64 at the current
exchange rate), or if you really want to experience a taste of theatre in days
gone by, you can buy tickets for as little as £5 ($10) and stand in the
"Yard" in front of the stage to watch the action. Even if you pay for
a seat, you're welcome to wander down and join the standing crowd at any time you
want to, but it's not for the faint of heart.
It's not just the building that's been recreated to how it
would have been in Shakespeare's day. The plays have been as well, and that
means interaction between the actors and those in the standing area. According
to the guide who showed us around the theatre, this can mean some jokes at your
expense, especially if you're near the stage. It's certainly a unique
theatre-going experience. Where else in the world can you get taunted by the
people you've gone to watch?
As well as theatre performances during the summer months,
visitors can learn more about the Globe all year round. The Globe Exhibition is
the most extensive in the world dedicated to Shakespeare and takes you back in
time to give you an idea about the man himself, those who performed in his
plays, and the way of life at that time. Once you've learned about the history
of the original Globe, you then find out about the struggle to build the new
Globe Theatre.
As part of the exhibition, you'll also be taken on a guided
tour of the theatre and this is perhaps the most fascinating part of any visit
to the Globe. Your guide explains how plays are performed and points out how
things would have been in Elizabethan days. Let's just say after hearing her
descriptions, I feel very glad that we have modern restrooms!
Tours begin every 15-30 minutes during opening hours, and
once you've finished your tour you can go back into the exhibition and spend as
much time as you wish. ItÕs a good idea to allow at least 1.5 hours for the
exhibition and the tour. If you're interested in the history of London and
England's greatest writer, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre should definitely be on
your list of places to visit.
The exhibition is open all year, except for Christmas Eve
and Christmas Day. Outside of the summer season, opening times are 10 am until
5 pm, with theatre tours at all times. During the summer performance season,
which this year runs from May 6 until October 9, the exhibition is open from 9
am until 5 pm, but if you want to take the theatre tour, you'll have to arrive
in the morning. During the afternoon, when matinee performances are taking
place in the theatre, visitors are instead taken to the nearby site of the Rose
Theatre.
Admission for the exhibits and tour costs £9 for adults,
£7.50 for seniors and students, £6.50 for children aged 5 -- 15, with family
tickets for two adults and three children £25. For more information, visit http://www.shakespeares-globe.org

DISNEY FEATURE: Unexpected Pleasures & Treasures of Walt
Disney World
========================================================
by Cheryl Pendry, Feature Columnist and PassPorter Message
Board Guide
My husband Randy and I have only been home for one week from
our first trip to Walt Disney World. We still haven't had a chance to organize
the 900+ pictures that we took into a (much) smaller slide show to present to
family and friends. But we are still talking about some of the unknown
treasures that we discovered in Walt Disney World.
Don't get me wrong. We bought our first PassPorter about a
year before our trip, and then bought the new edition when it was available.
(Having two PassPorters made those long planning evenings much easier.) But
even with our careful study of the PassPorter books and message boards, we
"discovered" a few things that either were not uncovered in our research,
or that we thought were undervalued. Read on to learn about some of the things
we think you should be sure to seek out at Walt Disney World.
Future World's "Inventor's Circle"
Why isn't this on any map? As you pass from Epcot's fountain
plaza to Future World West and approach The Land, look down. Set into the
pavement are concentric circles. Within these circles are round plaques
celebrating great inventions, from the wheel all the way through the
microcomputer. There is a central hub with four fascinating quotes from
scientists, and the inventions radiate from there, like planets in a solar
system. We spent quite a while wandering back and forth, with our gaze
downward, exclaiming over dates we didn't know, or even disputing a few
allegations. I am sure we looked crazy to the people who had to maneuver around
us, but we were amazed that no one stopped to see what it was that had captured
our attention so keenly. If you are at all interested in science, you need to
go find this!
The posters in the queue for Mickey's PhilharMagic at the
Magic Kingdom
We had to let people in the queue pass us, because we were
more interested in getting photos of these posters than in getting to the main
event, and later we went back to get a few more! Mickey's PhilharMagic ended up
being one of our favorite attractions at Walt Disney World, and these posters
really "plussed" the package. Imagine old-style theater posters, with
familiar Disney characters spotlighted for musical performances: "Genie
Sings the Blues," "I Pagliacci" performed by Willy the Whale,
and "Ariel's Coral Group." Classic Disney art with tongue placed
firmly in cheek, and not to be missed.
Canadians really are the friendliest people in the world ...
or in the World.
OK, we could be prejudiced on this one; Randy is from
Canada. But one of the reasons I fell in love with him is that he is so darn
nice! We found that the students who work at the Canadian pavilion and its Le
Cellier restaurant were the friendliest group in any of the parks, and particularly
in World Showcase. We actually had one negative encounter with a cast member in
the World Showcase (I won't tell which country), but even in the upscale Le
Cellier, where you might expect some reserve, I saw the wait staff interact in
ways that went above and beyond the call of duty with all the tables around us.
Our server directed us to excellent wine pairings, discussed his upcoming plans
for a road trip to California, and cheerfully took our picture. Who cares if
the Canada film is outdated when the people are so wonderful?
Those fabulous cameos in the ride pre-shows
We were not surprised to find more of Hollywood signing on
to add "plus" to the ride pre-shows (and sometimes into the rides
themselves). Being Disneyland "natives," we already had enjoyed actor
Patrick Warburton as the chief steward in Soarin' Over California, and we were
pleased to see that he worked Epcot also. I can remember the days when Disney
used mostly unknown voice-over actors for their feature animation; now, half
the fun of the movie is figuring out who does that voice. With the ride
pre-shows, at least you sometimes get to see the actors, but even then, it took
us a few minutes to place them out of context. There's Ileanna Douglas as
Aerosmith's manager at Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, and John Michael Higgins as the
head test engineer in Test Track. But the most inspired cameo has to be Gary
Sinise in Mission:Space. Who better to add credibility to your space mission,
than the very man who talked Ron Howard's Apollo 13 astronauts through their
dangerous re-entry procedure?
Port Orleans horse-drawn carriages
Here is one delight that is mentioned in PassPorter, as well
as in the resort literature that you receive upon checking in. But mere words
can not describe the sound of the carriage wheels and the horse's hoofs
clopping on the pavement within the buildings of the resort. We did not have
the time to take a ride ourselves, but we were fortunate enough to be in our
room, changing for dinner, when we heard the horse go right by our door! Our
room in the French Quarter was at the corner of two small streets, streets just
wide enough for the horse and carriage. I had imagined that the carriage ride
would be along the riverbank, between the resorts, but it actually wends
through the resort buildings, and in the French Quarter at least, it was
unspeakably romantic. A carriage ride will go to the top of my list for our
next trip!
Mosaics inside Cinderella Castle
Although Cinderella Castle dominated our experience of the
Magic Kingdom, we did not take the time to walk through it until we were
leaving the park, technically after the park had closed. We were delighted and
amazed at the gorgeous mosaics that tell Cinderella's story. Five large mosaics
composed of small glass tiles, set in arches in the wall of the walkway, tell
the story of Cinderella. The colors are breathtaking and the level of detail is
astonishing. Many shades of blue are used to give the texture of running water
to a stream; the ball gowns have intricate patterns "woven" into the
fabric; the floor of the ballroom is multi-colored parquet. Some of the tiles
are as small as a centimeter, and many fuse real gold and sterling silver with
the glass to give Cinderella the "royal" treatment. Again, we spent
many minutes here, drinking in the colors and artistry. We had to take pictures
of the the whole mosaics and close-ups of the details. I look forward to seeing
them by daylight next time.
One quality that keeps us constantly delighted at Disneyland
and Walt Disney World is the detail that the company puts into the experience.
When I was on Sunset Boulevard in Disney-MGM Studios, I knew that Hollywood in
the 1930s looked just like this ... at least, I hope it did! Many of the
treasures mentioned here aren't what we'd call attractions; we think of them as
things that enhance the experience, which Walt always strove for. I think he
would have enjoyed reading my list, and knowing how much we appreciate that
extra effort.
About the Author: Kath Davis is the executive director for a
non-profit youth orchestra in Orange County California. Randy telecommutes as a
global test analyst for a company based in New York, and spends a lot of time
in Tokyo. They haven't wrangled at trip to Tokyo Disneyland yet, but there is
still hope!

DISNEY TIPS FROM FELLOW READERS
==========================================
Our readers are a wealth of information! Here are the
winners in this month's tip contest:
PACK EXTRA POWER
"I always bring an extension cord or power strip on
vacation to charge all of our electronics: cell phone, camera, laptop, DVD
player, iPods, etc. The rooms don't always have enough outlets and they are
often in inconvenient places."
-- contributed by Julie P.
LUGGAGE LOCATOR
"When packing your suitcase, put some type of
Identification on the inside of the case. Tape it to one of the sides. Luggage
tags may come off and this way there is a way to contact you in case your
luggage is lost."
-- contributed by Buffy B.
AWESOME AUTOGRAPHS
"Have you ever wondered what to do with the autographs
our kids collect at Disney? Well, I scan them into my computer and use them as
the background for our scrapbook pages of our trip. I also made my daughter a
great shirt with all the signatures. I just printed them on special T-shirt
transfer paper and ironed them on! And the best part is that I can remake the
shirt as she gets bigger, or if something happens to the other one!"
-- contributed by Jennifer M.

Play our fun and quirky treasure hunting game, hosted by
Captain Jack Skatt from our book, "PassPorter's Treasure Hunts at Walt
Disney World."
The Captain makes a study of the delightful details --
sometimes hidden, sometimes in plain sight but often overlooked -- at Walt
Disney World and aboard the Disney Cruise Line. Using notes from his journals,
he will lead you to this "treasure" at Disney with clues, questions,
photos, or riddles. Your challenge is to discover the answer by searching your
memory, visiting Disney, or even just looking really hard on the Internet. If
you think you've found the answer, e-mail it to jackskatt@passporter.com -- the
first person to correctly submit the FULL answer will receive a free PassPorter
enamel pin or PassPorter name badge pin.
Here is this weekÕs journal entry:
"I've come down with spring fever and I want to spend
all my time outside. I've even got the urge to mow some grass ... any grass
will do. I asked Billy Bowlegs if he'd let me use his lawn mower, but he says
he left it somewhere and can't find it. He says his mower was too slow,
anyway."
Where is Billy Bowlegs real slow mower?
Send your full answer to jackskatt@passporter.com -- the
winner will be notified by e-mail and announced in the next newsletter, along
with the correct answer!
Congratulations to Janiejake who was the winner of last
week's treasure hunt game! Janiejake correctly named the Harmony Barber Shop in
the Magic Kingdom as the location of Alexander's and the Captain's 'Mickey
Head' hair-dos. To view the original clue, see last week's newsletter at http://www.passporter.com/news/news041907.htm#captain

====================================
Q & A WITH JENNIFER & DAVE
====================================
rescuesk asks: "I learned a few thousand trips ago to
make a packing list, edit it and then stick to the edited version so that I
don't overpack. Always worked in the past. Then along comes this seven-night
cruise and blows my whole theory up! So ... how do you decide what to take and what
to leave home?"
Dave & Jennifer answer: "I always overpack, but I
never exceed my one-bag self-imposed limit. One trick is to select items that
will mix-and-match so you can re-use items you'll only be wearing for a couple
of hours at a time. Another is to choose casual items that will be as suitable
in the evening (changing after dinner) as they are during the day. Don't forget
you can run a load of laundry or buy something in the gift shop or in port if
it turns out you packed too little.
You probably can get away with the same amount of
"emergency" extras as you carried for shorter trips (for those white
capri/red fruit punch moments) - you don't need a fresh emergency change for
every day of the trip (unless you're a real klutz). As a guy, I manage to get
along with fewer items by bringing only "sport shorts" that double as
swim suits.
I also apply a discipline I learned as a backpacker -- set a
limit, gather all the stuff you think you'll need, then start paring away items
until you get down to your limit. "Do I really need this? How can I get
more use out of each item I carry?" One backpacking trick that can work is
to plan on only shorts for daytime use, but carry one pair of lightweight,
windproof pull-over long pants to cover those times when wind or temperatures
dip a bit (in evenings, on cool, windy days, etc.) They rinse-out and air dry
very quickly, and it never gets so cold on a Caribbean cruise that you need
greater warmth. They may even be enough for a wintertime flight home, assuming
you'll only be out in the cold for a few minutes. You can pack several pair of
these in the space occupied by a single pair of jeans.
Good luck!"
