Additional information on new “90+10” dining reservation
window

We have gathered some additional information on the new perk of allowing
Walt Disney World hotel guests to book up to 10 days of reservations with
one call when the 90-day window opens for their resort stay.

First, we have confirmed that if you cancel your room reservation, all
of your dining reservations are automatically cancelled as well. If you
plan to alter your vacation itinerary, try to change your reservation
instead of cancelling and rebooking within that 90-day window to avoid
losing all of your dining reservations. However, this function is apparently
not yet working perfectly within the reservations system, so if you have
a credit card-guaranteed dining reservation (such as the Hoop-Dee-Doo
Revue or breakfast at Cinderella’s Royal Table), you may want to make
sure to have the agent verify that the reservation has been cancelled.

In addition, travel agency and wholesaler reservations are entered into
the Disney travel system differently than those made directly by individuals.
This means that if you booked your reservation through a travel agent,
your agent must make the call to take advantage of the extra 10 days of
reservations. If you booked through a travel wholesaler such as Travelocity
or Expedia, they should be able to provide you with a special number to
call.

Make sure to have your room reservation number handy when you call for
your dining reservation, as you will need to enter it in before you get
transferred to a Dining agent.

Remember, this is a 10-day courtesy extended from the 90-day mark from
the beginning of your reservation. Do not try to call 95 days before your
room reservation and try to make arrangement for the first five days of
your trip. It’s 90+10.

Free dining plan is back; seasonal blackout lifted

The free dining plan with Magic Your Way vacations has returned. For
most nights August 21 through October 4, you can get the dining plan for
free with your Magic Your Way vacation package. You can either book this
online (make sure to select “Special Offers” and then click “Book Now”
on the free dining plan offer page) or by calling 407-939-7783 and requesting
booking code YNW.

Disney has informed Florida resident Seasonal Passholders via postcard
that blackout dates (originally to be through August 18) have been lifted
for the rest of the summer. There are no other blackouts until Christmas.

Put together, these two changes would seem to indicate that attendance
and/or occupancy rates are well below projections, or at least enough
that they’re trying to pump up visitor numbers for the rest of the summer
and the early fall. We’ll have to wait to see if Disney announces any
other plans to boost those numbers.

Living Seas, Crush going on hiatus

The Living Seas is closing from August 21 through late November for refurbishment.
Turtle Talk with Crush will be closed with the pavilion, but reportedly
the Coral Reef Restaurant and the in-tank Epcot DiveQuest, Seas Aqua Tour
and Dolphins in Depth programs will continue to operate unless the construction
interferes with the residents of the tank. Rumors on possible changes
include the addition of another Finding
Nemo-based attraction (possibly using technology developed for
the Finding Nemo sub ride planned for Disneyland), a redesign of the pre-show
area, the possible elimination of the hydrolators and relocation of the
gift shop. However, these are just rumors and we won’t know for sure until
the pavilion reopens its doors in late November.

More Extra Magic Hour experiments

Disney is again adjusting Extra Magic Hours to test crowd patterns. For
two weeks starting next Sunday, EMH mornings at Epcot are moving from
Monday to Sunday. Epcot will then add an extra Monday night EMH evening
to the existing Thursday night. Magic Kingdom retains its summer Wednesday
morning, Monday and Friday evening schedule. This means that on Monday
nights, guests can choose Extra Magic Hour evenings at both Magic Kingdom
and Epcot. It would be interesting to find what information Disney gathers
from this experiment.

Disney looks to hire thousands of low-skilled employees

Walt Disney World is aiming to fill about 4,000 entry-level positions
with Polk County residents. Only 10 percent of the county’s adult population
has a bachelor’s degree and only about 56 percent have a high school degree.
The county’s economy had historically been built on the declining area
industries of citrus farming and mining, both of which do not require
a highly educated workforce. Disney is recruiting to fill positions with
starting pay of $6.80-$9.15 as ticket sales agents, park greeters, security
officers, bus drivers, lifeguards, character performers, custodial and
many other roles. Disney has found it harder to find applicants to fill
roles as the job market picks up.

Crossroads shopping center sells for $57 million

The Crossroads at Lake Buena Vista, a popular shopping plaza for Walt
Disney World guests, was sold by ITW Mortgage Investments IV to TIAA-CREF,
Inc. for $57 million. The center, probably best-known for its Goodings
supermarket, also includes restaurants such as T.G.I. Friday’s, Red Lobster,
McDonald’s, Jungle Jim’s and Chevys, as well as Pirate’s Cove miniature
golf course, Foot Locker and other retail establishments.

The center, originally developed by Disney and located across
State Route 535 from Hotel Plaza Boulevard, opened in the late
1980s. ITW had owned the center for five years. Disney was consulted on
the sale, as it retained control over upkeep and other aspects of the
property when they sold it.

MouseFest events announced

The schedule for MouseFest 2005 is starting to fill up.
Many Web sites have announced gatherings to be held all over Walt
Disney World and aboard the Disney Wonder during the event. Check the
MouseFest Web site (link)
for details.

Thus far, MousePlanet is sponsoring three events for
this third annual gathering of the Disney Internet community. First and
foremost is a mini-MouseAdventure event, a shortened version of
MousePlanet’s signature event (link).
This marks the first time that the event has been held in Florida.
(Last year, a “taste of MouseAdventure” was included in the MouseFest
program guide). The event will run from approximately 10:00 a.m. until
noon on Thursday, December 1. The mini-MouseAdventure will be
immediately followed by our second event, the second annual Mike Scopa
Dole Whip Meet, at Aloha Isle in Adventureland.

Our final scheduled event will be the first annual
MousePad Shocolate Mousssse Meet at Boulangerie Patisserie in Epcot’s
France pavilion at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 3, following the
Mega Mouse Meet event at the Walt Disney World Swan hotel. For more on
the origin of the Shocolate Mousssse phenomenon among MousePlanet
readers, please see this thread on our MousePad discussion forums.

More information will be released about these events in
the near future.

Three deaths so far this year at Walt Disney World parks

The status of Leanne Deacon is unknown following her heart attack after
riding the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at the Disney-MGM Studios. However,
recently released information indicates that there have been three deaths
at Disney’s Florida theme parks. However, two of them could not be deemed
as surprising. In February, a 77-year-old Minnesota woman died after riding
Pirates of the Caribbean at the Magic Kingdom. According to a medical
examiner’s report, the woman was suffering from diabetes, had had several
ministrokes, and her death “was not unexpected.” Records were released
by the state on Friday that a 30-year-old man who wore a pacemaker lost
consciousness and later died at a hospital after riding Dinosaur at Disney’s
Animal Kingdom on April 30. The man had a history of heart problems, and
it would seem that he would did not meet the ride’s safety recommendations,
as they include “free from high blood pressure, heart, back or neck problems.”
The third ride death was Daudi Bamuwamye, the 4-year-old who died after
riding Mission: Space on June 13.

Sports agent gets to be good guy, for a change

NFL player agent Drew Rosenhaus is usually known for his
hardball negotiating tactics. This year, a number of his clients who
are already under contract are talking about holding out for more
money, including Terrell Owens, Javon Walker and Edgerrin James. But
last week, Rosenhaus was a hero.

Rosenhaus was staying at the Grand Floridian Resort while in town for
an event at the ESPN Grill with some clients, and was at the pool with
his girlfriend when he heard screaming coming from the kiddie pool. He
rushed over to find a 3-year-old boy was unconscious and not breathing.
The boy had been at the pool with his 10-year-old brother, who had walked
away for a short while and returned to find his brother unconscious in
the water. He pulled his brother out and yelled for help. Rosenhaus arrived
before the lifeguard on duty, and began CPR. He managed to revive the
boy before Reedy Creek Emergency Services personnel arrived.

Rosenhaus, a lifeguard while in college, later visited the boy in the
hospital at the invitation of the boy’s family. Rosenhaus told the Orlando
Sentinel, “It’s nice to be the good guy, for once.”

Airport launches dedicated Registered Traveler security line

Last Tuesday, Orlando International Airport launched the
registered traveler program with a dedicated line for CLEAR
cardholders, who have applied for and received pre-clearance from the
Federal Transportation Safety Administration. So far, about 4,000
travelers have enrolled in the program since they started accepting
applications on June 21 (link).

In other registered traveler program news, a temporary kiosk
will be set up at SunTrust Bank in downtown Orlando for applicants to
submit their fingerprint and iris identification data instead of having to go
to the airport. The kiosk will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and
may be duplicated at other locations if successful.

Limo owners still angry after meeting

After a second meeting with Orlando International Airport
officials on Thursday, members of the Greater Orlando Livery
Association are still frustrated with the bias that they say the
airport is showing toward the Disney’s Magical Express service. The
service, which gives Disney resort guests free transportation to their
resort and separate handling and delivery of their luggage, has been
pulling many passengers from the limousines. However, the association’s
representatives claim that Disney is getting preferential treatment
from the airport as well.

Specifically, they complain that Disney is getting extra room
outside the terminal, forcing some drivers to circle until a spot comes open,
or park in the garage and then pick up the car after meeting their
fares. In addition, and more importantly, they claim that Magical
Express employees solicit additional riders inside the terminal, while
limo drivers are not allowed to solicit business and are required to
wait for passengers by baggage claim.

The primary issue is that “Disney’s position is that when yhou book a
hotel you automatically have admission to Disney’s Magical Express,” Airport
Executive Director Bill Jennings told the Orlando Sentinel. Jennings
plans to meet with Disney officials before making a final decision on
whether or not the solicitation of additional riders by Disney employees
before they reach baggage claim violates the airport’s solicitation policy.

Jennings, who had originally come out strongly that Disney
employees should not be soliciting, took a softer stance at last week’s
meeting. It shouldn’t be surprising, though, since the Magical
Express service probably makes things easier for the airport, as well.
Travelers’ luggage is picked up in bulk by BAGS, Inc., the baggage
contractor for the service, and guests can check in and check their
luggage at the hotel for their return flights, lessening the crowds at
the airline desks at the airport. This would certainly lower
labor costs for the airport, as well as reduce crowding.

The airport will meet again with the livery association and
with Disney early next month.

Wishes whoops

Magic Kingdom park guests on July 17 saw an unusually quiet show. Apparently,
a hard drive on the computer running the music for the show crashed, causing
the music to first repeat, then stop completely. The rest of the show
ran without a soundtrack. Reportedly, while there was redundancy built
into the system, for some unknown reason it did not work. Needless to
say, Disney is likely working on finding a way to ensure that it will
not happen again.

Ears to the ground

…Don’t forget, reservations for special events during this
year’s International Food & Wine Festival opened at 7 a.m.
today. If you’re interested, call 407-WDW-FEST (407-939-3378) to
see if there’s anything left.

…Jet Blue has been added to the Airline Check-In Service at
Disney-owned and -operated resorts. The complete list now
consists of: American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines
(including Song), Jet Blue and United Airlines (including Ted).
Northwest is expected to be next to come online.

…This week is your last chance to check out Lucky the Dinosaur
in Dinoland, U.S.A. The animatronic reptile’s last day at Disney’s
Animal Kingdom is Thursday. After that, he’s off to Hong Kong
Disneyland to become an opening day “cast member.” Later, he will
also reportedly visit Disney parks in Tokyo and outside Paris as part
of his “world tour.”

…The Tampa Bay Buccaneers open training camp at Disney’s Wide
World of Sports Complex on Friday, with two-a-day workouts all
week. The Celebration Hotel closes to the public today as the
team starts arriving to take over the hotel through the end of camp on
August 19.

…Work continues on Expedition: Everest. Last week, a
test train was on the track with plywood cutouts to ensure adequate
clearance beyond any outstretched arms and fingertips. The
“mountain temple” structure through which the lift proceeds before
entering the main mountain is looking good and beginning to emerge from
its scaffolding. Meanwhile, the Yeti is reportedly planned to arrive at
the construction site by Labor Day.

…Resort pools are heading for refurbishment right after Labor
Day, with the Keister Coaster at the BoardWalk Resort, the Piano pool
at the All-Star Music Resort and the Ol’ Man Island spa at the Port
Orleans Riverside Resort going down September 6. Those pools will
reopen on September 26, 14 and 23, respectively. The Magnolia Bend
quiet pool at Port Orleans Riverside will also be refurbished, from
September 15-24.

…The demolition of the “frozen” entrance to the former Ice
Station Cool seems almost complete.

…Construction on the large tree in the Pooh’s Playful Spot
playground (which opens in September on a portion of the former site of
the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea lagoon) appears to be moving quickly,
as branches and leaves are appearing high above the construction wall.
A beehive has also been hung on a branch.

…Construction walls are going up at the Main Street Railroad
Station. The west side stairs are now completely walled off.

…Due to construction work, the walkway between the yet-to-open
Raglan Road pub and the Fulton’s Crab House and Portobello Yacht Club
restaurants will be closed for the summer. This will make it a
bit harder to get to Pleasure Island from the Marketplace.

…Stage sets from The
Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe are
expected to be on display at the Disney-MGM Studios from September
through December.

…The House of Innoventions exhibit at Epcot’s innoventions
East pavilion will be getting another new exhibit. Vonage’s
videophone will soon appear on the tour of the high-tech “home.”

…Disney is reportedly giving away a free 5×7 photo via their
PhotoPass service to guests booking a Magic Your Way vacation online.

…The video presentation on board Disney’s Magical Express
buses is undergoing changes. Already removed is the segment indicating
that gratuities are included in the free service, and other segments
are expected to be modified, as well.
