Epinions Recent Reviews for Liffey

Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 18:51:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - After another pleasurable visit to the Tiki Room last week, I realize that I gave one of my favourite attractions short-shrift in my review here. Hopefully this revised epinion will better reflect my love for the most charming attraction in all of the...

We're Pollinators!

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 18:04:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - It's funny to look back and remember how A Bug's Land at California Adventure was more or less an afterthought, something a scurrying design team quickly added to turn the frowns at least sideways, if not upside down, when the poor reviews of the...

Stop the Madness

Sat, 8 Mar 2008 12:07:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - Having sort-of panned the Maliboomer in my most recent review, I may as well finish the job and take on its cousin around the corner, the Mulholland Madness roller coaster. Retreading some of the same criticisms that dog the Maliboomer...

Not Such a Big Shot

Thu, 6 Mar 2008 08:53:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - It's not surprising that no one has reviewed Maliboomer yet. Disney loyalists would probably prefer to believe it doesn't exist. Maliboomer is an off-the-shelf carnival ride. In other words, don't picture talented Imagineers rolling up their...

DVD Theatre in the Vintage Round

Wed, 5 Mar 2008 08:23:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - I guess we must start with the number of trips (seven?) where I didn't even go into this attraction, thinking it was just more street themeing. It's not like many of those other shops advertised on Main Street exist, right? A fair criticism...

Soaking Up the Fun

Tue, 4 Mar 2008 06:22:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - The first time I rode this I was by myself, taking advantage of the awesomeness that is the Single Rider line. I was a little wary of what was about to happen, though. A few years earlier I had a bad experience on my one and only trip on the WDW...

It's a World of Hope (And We Hope It Stays That Way)

Mon, 3 Mar 2008 07:57:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - Perhaps you've heard that the reason for the current 10-month rehab of this gentle flume attraction is because the boats are sinking? (I'm bolding "rehab" so, if you're planning a trip during 2008, you'll realize that this ride is mostly off the...

Great Moments with Mister Satan

Sun, 2 Mar 2008 10:52:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - As mentioned elsewhere, I started my Disney park adventures in 2001 with Walt Disney World in Florida. (As also mentioned elsewhere, I'm trying to keep my reviews to under 300 words, but this is hard for a flibberdigibit like myself. Which is exactly...

I'm Screamin' on Sunshine, Oh Yeah

Sun, 2 Mar 2008 09:48:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - As I said in my last review, I'm trying to write reviews in under 300 words, but things keep happening. Like, adjectives. And asides. I've been bad, I know. Maybe I need a time-out hanging upside down inside a giant Mickey Mouse-shaped head? Well,...

Keeping My Ruddy, Trembling, Excited, High-Fiving Hands Inside the Boat

Sun, 2 Mar 2008 09:11:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - I've been on long leave from Epinions, and every time my husband (a passionate Games Advisor) watches me write another review on my web site, he wonders why I don't port these musings over to Epinions, where more consumers are likely to read them and...

On This, Our Spaceship Earth

Wed, 12 Feb 2003 05:36:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - Up the ramp, mooing at the wind. There's no one here but us fanny packs. Hurry, scurry, into the icon.

Blue cars hum ceaselessly. Two for the front and two for the back, but for us it's always two for all. It's January. It's February...

Casino for Windows: Holding Out for Casino Tycoon

Fri, 17 Nov 2000 00:23:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - For the pleasures of gorgeous ambiance and beautiful gaming, click your way down the plush corridors of Microsoft Casino. Try your proverbial luck at one of three real-life Las Vegas super casinos, virtual style. The video and...

M-O-U-S-E Veggie, Find Out What It Means to Me

Wed, 25 Oct 2000 04:15:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - Briefly, the Facts: (don't worry, I'll launch my usual rambling babble soon enough)

• I have been an ovo-lacto vegetarian since July 1987

• With spurts of veganism here and there

• I will soon be making a...

Mulan of Arc

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 23:22:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - I sat down for Mulan out of duty and little else. As the long clock begins to toll the final weeks before our Disney World vacation, I am earnestly trying to bone up on the characters which have come into being after "my time."...

A Vegetarian Slums for the Border

Sun, 22 Oct 2000 21:20:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - The old salad days of fast food vegetarianism truly were the salad days, and that was only when you were lucky. Even today, with changing attitudes towards meat and healthy eating, your typical burger joint in the USA does not have the vegetarian...

Joie de Vivre Las Vegas!

Sat, 21 Oct 2000 16:58:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey -
Review Topic: Accommodations

Ah, the City of Lights... within the City of Neon. Do you find a certain appeal in visiting France, but without all the $5 coffee and shame of being an American tourist? Then consider Paris...

Oui, La Bête

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 05:50:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - I think there comes a time in most people's life when they take a moment to reflect and say, "What has Stevie Nicks brought to my existence?"

And when I encountered that moment of growth, I had two answers: hand-tinted sepia...

The Prodigal, or A Town Called Gabrielle

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 14:15:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - Writing this epinion could be considered a naughty thing. Epinions makes it quite clear that we're only to write one epinion on any specific subject. I think this is a fine rule, even though it means that I can't write a brand spanking new...

Bark Like a Yawn

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 22:52:26 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - For a moment, it was 1966. Within a beat it was 1963. November 1963. You know what happens when you have movies set in November of 1963, don't you? But don't be afraid. This isn't Yet Another Film Symbolizing the Loss of Innocence via the...

The Royal Couple of Thieves, or Presenting Autolycus

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 22:59:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - Beware! Those who shall trespass beyond this link shall not be welcomed into the hospitable comforts of a wide-purpose review. Let it be known and understood that we as yet still walk in an unenlightened age, an age once past, an age yet to come,...

The Grease that Went through the Goose

Sat, 14 Oct 2000 18:27:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - Eventually it had to come to this. Someone just had to make a hand moisturizer and call it "Handle with Care." Now that we've shaken it out of our systems, we're free to move on to new things.

And that's why...

From the Mixed-Up Ovaries of Mrs. Basal E. Thermometer

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 20:18:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - Background

Lest friends and family reading my epinions begin knitting baby booties, let me explain why I've become so intimate with this basal thermometer.

I'm a curious sort of person. Meaning that I'm curious about...

Gossamer Beads o' Mud

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 13:59:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - Soft, squishy, mooshy clay, slushed between my toes all day, clumping on my elbows hey, wiggling, giggling, froth-licking clay!

I was so disappointed that it wasn't red. So most mud masks (oh pardon, I surely meant...

Frightfully Dull, Darlings. Frightfully.

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 12:03:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - Age of Innocence was one of those movies I always meant to see. It seemed well-augered to offer Winona Ryder, whom I quite like despite her knack of playing mediocre same-y characters, Daniel Day-Lewis, whom we must respect...

Speak into the Nozzle

Wed, 11 Oct 2000 11:55:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Liffey - Remember the days before our lives became pumpable? Now we have pump toothpaste, pump shampoo, pump soap, and pay-at-the-pump gasoline. (While not new in the pump sense, it does embrace a certain pro-pump mindset, no?) Pump lotion was around...
