Will anyone be there soon? I want a picture of those spiders in jungle cruise 'cuz I kept trying to find and buy one in cyberspace to no avail =( I was on the new HM and I had problems the first few days. instead of the narration, I heard just this buzzing noise consistent with the narration. That kinda ruined it.

You could be a civilian but you have to have atleast a family member working for the military, the family member doesn't have to be in the military just work for it, but my dad is in the navy. As of a membership there is no such thing, Shades of Green was created to show the military that they are greatful for their hard work(that is what the people at the front desk told me).

[quote=neu318;21693]Not really a secret but a tip, duringMickeys very merry christmas and during new years eve fireworks to avoid getting stuck in a large crowd exiting the park they open an exit that goes through the stage in tomorrowland and goes through the back of main street which leads to the main exit. Also on the way you can see the CM's parking, the back of all the shops, plants used in the park, media crew, etc..[/quote

We have been ushered out through a gate next to restroom area between Casey's and Crystal Palace. It took us past the backs of the Main St. & City Hall and let us out by the entrance pavilion on the Monorail Station Side one New Years Eve 20 minutes before the fireworks. We watched the fireworks from the Boat Launch area and with ease boarded a bus buggy and all to PO, no lines, no crowds. Perfect view, only a handful of people around us and the beautiful lake. The CM's asked us if we were exiting the park, the "yes" got us a back path tour.

Hey everyone! I just joined today!

I'm not sure if this counts as a secret or just a strange sighting, but when my family and I were waiting to watch the Beatles show in WS two years ago, the Mad Hatter came running around the building shouting something about tea. Strange, no?

Sorry if you've already read this but I'm too tired to check all 61 pages of this thread...
One of the best Wishes viewing spots is the Rose Garden to the right of the Castle near Tomorrowland.
It's usually not too crowded and you get a great view of Tinkerbell

The other spot we discovered by accident last year: Fantasyland by Pooh's ride - you get a completely different view of the fireworks and it feels like you're completely surrounded by light and color.

Took me quite a bit of time to read thru but, I'm glad I did!!!!!! We've been going to WDW every year since 1999. Thi is the best place to catch Mary Poppins, Alice and the Mad Hatter. We've caught them just wandering around this garden each year.
