    A Permanent Trip? Reporting to Mickey!

    Thanks!!! I loved being an editor. And I still enjoy tv production, but the field is just SO competitive. Things are becoming more computerized, and now local stations don't even really have PA's anymore, everything is digital and they have one director, so that makes finding a job even...

    San Francisco Long Weekend!

    I was definitely wanting to check out Ghirardelli Square, so that's a part of Pier 39/Fisherman's Wharf? I'm not a fan of sea food, so no oysters for me, but I might like to try some Clam Chowder and Shrimp which are basically the only sea foods I like. Is Ghirardelli Square famous for...

    San Francisco Long Weekend!

    Thanks!!! I am definitely prepared for a pricier UBER to Rancho if it is a little far out, I have plenty of time to plan for that. Colt Tower seems really interesting, I think that might end up being an activity for me on day one before the first meet up at 2 PM. I looked up youtube videos and...

    San Francisco Long Weekend!

    Thank you, AquamarineSteph . For some reason it would not let me quote you like the others. Alcatraz seems like a cool idea, I know it would be interesting, is there enough "on your own time" to do it? Maybe in the morning before the 2 PM meet on the technical first day (i won't be...

    San Francisco Long Weekend!

    Thank you!!! I am definitely planning on a Cable Car ride and Fishermans Wharf (again, both in reference to Full House lol). Is Fort Mason a part of Alcatraz or is that something different? What exactly is Colt Tower besides the fact that it's a Tower, lol. Thanks for all the ideas. Will be...

    San Francisco Long Weekend!

    Thank you for the tips! :) I am not the most skilled driver, especially in a place like SF with all the hills, traffic, and the fact that I"m just not familiar with the area... I was planning on trying to Uber to Rancho Obi Wan (and basically everywhere else TBH)... Is it super far away? I...

    My first ABD- I have a few questions about Backstage Magic

    I will keep that in mind. Santa Monica has a lot of shopping? Do they have a pier there? I've never been, but I have read about it previously.

    My first ABD- I have a few questions about Backstage Magic

    Thanks, I will probably end up staying with the itinerary. This is why I need like 2 pre and 2 post nights before and after to do my own thing, because if i go all the way to California, there are certain things that i definitely want to see that aren't included but I would still like to see...

    My first ABD- I have a few questions about Backstage Magic

    Thank you so much for all the info!!! I am definitely 100% interested in all the Disney Specific things like Imagineering, The Walt Disney Studios, etc. The only thing I was considering skipping for more Hollywood time is the Hensen Studios. I realize this is a BIG DEAL for many people, but...

    Dream Job at WDW

    One of the Jedi Knights that help put on the Jedi Training Academy show at Studios. Or a job in Television Production at Disney Channel/ABC, since that is what I have my degree in. I had a small taste of that when I was a Photopass Photographer on the college program, working with cameras at...

    Underrated/Overrated: Restaurants Edition

    Underrated- - Pinnochio's Quick Service in MK. I love this place, I thought they had better Pizza Than Via Napoli. - Sunshine Seasons in Future World in Epcot. I feel like they have very good food and a lot of choices for a walk up quick service place, I never see people talk about this...
