Southern Baptists become second to drop boycott

Last Wednesday in Nashville, Tennessee, at its annual meeting, the Southern
Baptist Convention voted overwhelmingly to end its eight-year boycott
of the Walt Disney Company. The Southern Baptists are the second group
involved in the boycott to call it off, proclaiming that changes had been
made and that the boycott was effective. The American Family Association
called off its boycott on May 24.

As with the AFA, the Southern Baptists cited the departure of Michael
Eisner as one of the main reasons for dropping the boycott, in addition
to Disney’s split with Miramax founders Harvey and Bob Weinstein, promotion
of the Night of Joy events at Walt Disney World, and the upcoming release
of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe movie.

New passholder rate program clarifications

Mid-last week, we received word that Disney is saying—at least to
internal reservations staff—that the new Passholder Best Rate room
reservations program is a supplement to, rather than a replacement for,
the existing Passholder reservations program. That message has been muddied
by the fact that no “standard” passholder rates have been announced for
the program’s rollout period.

Some additional clarifications on the program:

  • The modification penalty of $50 per reservation will not be charged
    if the total package price for the reservation is the same or higher.
    Modifications must be made by phone, and may be made up to the day before
    arrival.
  • When attempting to make a reservation through the program, read your
    quote screen carefully. The quote screen must state that you are booked
    with the “Passholder Best Rate Program.” If the quote screen reads the
    following, you are booking a standard rate, and are not using the program,
    and you will not have your rate automatically adjusted for new discounts:

  • “A Passholder rate is not available for the date and resort
    you selected and we have returned a standard rate below. To search
    for the Passholder rate, please modify your date or resort.”



  • It is reported that any future passholder offers released for the
    same accommodations and dates as the Best Rate Program offers will not
    be lower than the Best Rate.

Virtual, Live Magic Kingdoms collide

In-park quests related to Disney’s online Virtual Magic Kingdom game
(link) are now available at “VMK Central”
in the Main Street Cinema at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Quests
are currently available for three lands: Adventureland, Fantasyland and
Frontierland. There are nine questions to be answered for each land, with
three questions in each of three categories: Easy, medium and hard.

Questions for each quest are multiple-choice, with scratch-off fields
for each answer. If all answers are scratched off correctly, players receive
a green glow-in-the-dark plastic VMK bracelet with a code on the inside
to be used to receive a special shirt for their character in the online
game, as well as trading cards with images of the virtual prizes.

Quests come in brochures the size of folded park maps. Easy questions
have two possible answers, medium questions have three and hard questions
have four. Prizes are received for completing each level of each quest,
and include clothing and furniture for players’ online characters.

Next month, expect the addition of free Virtual Magic Kingdom tours.
It is unconfirmed at this time whether the tours will be online or in
the park.

Expedited-traveler system gets started at Orlando airport

Last Tuesday, Orlando International Airport began registering people
for the new CLEAR program, whereby fliers can register their fingerprints
and retina scans, as well as their personal information, and pay a $79.95
annual fee in exchange for priority passage through airport checkpoints.
The program, which we first detailed on June 6 (link),
processed approximately 300 on-site registrations and 1,000 preregistrations
via the Internet in its first day.

Despite running into glitches on the first day, such as too much light
washing out retina prints (temporarily resolved by holding paper over
the registrant’s head until a permanent solution is installed), those
signing up for the program appeared to be satisfied with the process.

The fastest way to sign up for the process requires three steps:

  • Apply online at home on your own computer (link)
    or at one of four ClearSpace Enrollment Stations located at Orlando
    International Airport.
  • Bring two pieces of government-issued identification to the airport
    enrollment station to have your biometrics collected. Pictures of your
    irises and fingerprints will be gathered along with other vital information.
    This step takes approximately 15 minutes once you get to the head of
    the line.
  • Get cleared by the United States, Transportation Security Administration
    (TSA) will use your personal information to make a security threat assessment.
    TSA then approves (or not approves) you for participation in the program.

If approved, you receive your ClearCard in about two weeks. The CLEAR
program is run by Verified Identity Pass and Lockheed Martin, and so far
is only available at Orlando International Airport.

Extra EMH attractions added this week

On Monday and Friday of this week, four attractions will be added to
the evening Extra Magic Hours offerings at the Magic Kingdom. The Jungle
Cruise, Snow White’s Scary Adventure, Swiss Family Treehouse and the Tomorrowland
Transit Authority will be open to the guests for three hours after park
closing. It is uncertain at this time if this addition will continue through
the summer.

See ya, “Sorcery”

On Saturday night, a Pampered Chef convention was the last group to ever
see the full “Sorcery in the Sky” fireworks show. The show was noted for
the inflatable Sorceror Mickey that appeared on the roof of the Chinese
Theater and shot fireworks from its fingers. (It is believed that this
effect had already been dismantled before Saturday’s performance.) The
group had bought out the evening hours at the theme park, which closed
to the general public at 7:00 p.m. The fireworks show began at 11:30 p.m.

While the July 4 fireworks are being billed as “Sorcery in the Sky,”
it will actually be a shorter show known as “Lights, Camera, Fireworks.”
It is unknown at this time whether all future fireworks at the Studios
will be “Lights, Camera, Fireworks” or if a new show is in the offing.

Christmas begins in July at the Studios

Installation of the Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights, which runs from
November 23 through January 8 this year, will begin installation and set-up
on July 11. Expect to see the first construction wall on July 31. The
early preparation work will involve in installation of conduit on the
building facades. The millions of Christmas lights themselves will not
start appearing until late August.

Narnia comes to the Studios

Sets from the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and
the Wardrobe
, to be released this winter, will appear in two soundstages
at the Disney-MGM Studios later this year. The updated version of the
Backstage Pass attraction will allow guests to walk through the sets and
view movie props.

Bucs to take over hotel for camp

Don’t expect to be able to visit the Celebration Hotel or eat at its
Plantation Room restaurant for most of August. The National Football League’s
Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be taking over the entire 115-room establishment
for the duration of their training camp. The hotel will be closing to
the public on July 25 (players arrive three days later) and will reopen
on August 21 (the team departs August 17).

The training camp will be held at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex
from July 29 through August 17. All sessions are expected to be open to
the public.

WDW is no fun?

This year, Forbes magazine listed the “Top 10 best amusement
parks in the world.” Interestingly, while Disneyland in California
made the list, Walt Disney World did not. And while seven of the 10 listed
were outside the United States, Disneyland Paris and Tokyo Disneyland
did not make the list, either. Of course, Walt Disney World (and, specifically,
the Magic Kingdom) are still leading the pack on annual attendance, but
it appears that they just can’t crack that “most fun” list. Maybe next
year?

Ears to the ground

…The leading candidate for the new name of the Disney-MGM Studios
once the naming deal with MGM expires this year is Walt Disney Studios,
Florida. While nothing has been finalized yet, it would match the name
of the Walt Disney Studios, Paris park.


…For those looking to try to coordinate their trip with the next
space shuttle launch, NASA officials have given a tentative thumbs-up
to a target of a mid-July launch of the shuttle Discovery. The
launch window opens July 13. If the shuttle clears two more reviews next
week, an official launch date will be set on Thursday.

…Renovation of the Tower rooms at the Contemporary Resort is set
to begin this Wednesday. Rooms will be blocked off one floor at a time.
The Tower work is expected to be completed February 19, 2006.

…Pleasure Island will celebrate the Fourth of July with special
entertainment and fireworks July 3–5.
