We went as a family, for the first time, the 3rd week in August years ago. Hot as hell. Then we went two years ago in January and very enjoyable (weather and line wise). If we ever go again as a family, it won’t be in Summer.

How are you certain? Unless they flashed you their genitalia, you don’t know. And according to everything I’ve researched about Disney, they do not hire men to play the “face” characters, such as Jasmine, Aladdin, Ariel, Mary Poppins, Cinderella, etc. Charcters that wear full costumes and do not speak (Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Stitch) are played by male or female, since they wear full masks and don’t speak.

We wanted to do the water parks. As for January, you have to be careful. My first trip to Orlando was in college in January. The temp averaged about 20 degrees for the week we were there. Thankfully, we had heavy jackets from our ride to the airport in NYC.

it is the “one drop rule”.

The racists of the south and other fascists, used it as an excuse for purity of the race enforcement.

The current generation of race baiters use it to inflate numbers and as a means of obtaining special favored set asides.

BTW does everyone realise that ALL people who served in the military get ONE five day pass to the parkes for free once in their life?

Also that disney has the “shades of green” resort which is dedicated to just military families?

This will be a dud, and disney will send it to DVD where the race marketers can buy it and play it over and over.

You were not there when we were, and I doubt that you are privy to the dressing rooms either.

However, I am taking the hint in post 140 and I suggest that you do, as well.

I remember the racial upsets because the hyenas were black and some blacks claimed that Disney was suggesting that black equates with evil.

Why not have three princes who fall in love?
