Tip of the Week
This week’s tip comes via email from listeners John and Cindy, who suggest:
My wife and I used to live in Jacksonnville, Florida from June 2003 to Feb
2009, a mere 2 hour drive from WDW!. During this time we were annual passholders
and on each and every trip, we always reinforced to our children if were we
to become separated to immediately locate a Castmember. One year, while at
the Osborne Family Light show, we lost one our of kids (then 7 years old).
With Mom and Dad in a complete panic, it took about 15 very long minutes to
locate our kid who had easily found a Castmember and was chatting away with
her, completely unfazed! I cannot stress the importance of instructing your
kids to locate a Castmember if they become separated from you.
Mark agrees that having kids find cast members if they can’t find you is the
best way to keep them safe. He also recommends that they have your cell phone
number somewhere about their person so that they can give it to the cast member
so that they can contact you.
Mike pointed out that there are never lost children at Walt Disney World, only
lost parents.
Mark also noted that he and his wife trained The Kid on how to recognize a
cast member, focusing on the white name tag and a costume.
Review System Spotlight
This week we take a look at Teppan Edo at Epcot. MousePlanet readers really
like the restaurant, rating
it 4.2 out of five planets. Our featured review this week is by bmxmom of
Southern California.
bmxmom and her daughter had a great meal, enjoying the food, the chef, the
dessert and the family sharing the table with them, though they felt that the
noise level was a bit too high, leading to them giving it a 4-planet rating.
You can also find Teppan Edo in our Park Guide.
Mike’s thoughts that the Benihana chain is owned by the Ichiban chain proved
to be incorrect as there is no financial connection at all between them.
Ask the Kid
This week’s question was asked a while ago via Twitter by Brian
who asked:
This Saturday Sept 19 is Talk Like a Pirate Day, what is your pirate name?
Magical Moment
Vance Cope called the feedback line with a story about how he met Imagineering
Ambassador and Disney Legend Marty Sklar.
Last Week on MousePlanet
Andrew Rich, down at MousePlanet Global Headquarters recapped what you may

371 and yelling at her iPhone that the dinosaur you bring back from the
past at the Dinosaur attraction is called an iguanodon, and the actor in the
pre-show film was Wallace Langham. (Mark saw her comment to that effect on Twitter
and told her to yell at the feedback line instead, and she was kind enough to
oblige.) Langham was on Veronica’s Closet with Kirstie Alley and is now on CSI
playing Detective Hodges on the original series. Sharla hadn’t called us in
a while, but she had a great time at Disneyland Paris and is looking forward
to sharing that with us soon
