    Disney Maintenance Issues (3/28)

    All Maintenance teams run independently from all others, i.e Magic Kingdom Engineering, Polynesian Engineering. And some have better reputations than others. Some have horrible reputations, on things like follow-thru, passing the buck, laziness, etc. Magic Kingdom is one of these teams. Cast...

    Mary Blair's 100th Bday, Google Doodle on Homepage

    It is Mary Blair's 100th Birthday. Among her masterworks is the 90ft tall mural at the Contemporary. Whats really amazing is if you Google her you will see how much her style has defined mid-century Disney art.

    Contemporary Resort tonight on FOX 35!

    Just to highlight the emotion behind the words, it has nothing to do with the hint. Good eye though. I was going for a subliminal technique to highlight the words without italicizing or capitalizing (shouting) the whole word.

    Contemporary Resort tonight on FOX 35!

    April Fools! Its actually going to be a positive piece on "staycationing" at Bay Lake Tower for local residents. I actually do not get Fox 35 because I am in the Tampa media market, but I went to their website and they already have a text piece about it here...

    Magic Kingdom currently (11:30am) closed to some guests due to capacity (phase 2)

    I was in DHS yesterday and it was the most crowded I have ever seen it. EVER. 130 minute wait for Toy Story, which I guess isnt dramatic. Indiana Jones turning people away.. It was crazy, but sorta fun in a way.

    New Bus Driver Costumes

    i dont like that the name tag is on the other side. i think all name tags should be in the same place, left breast. even security costumes.

    River Country Nature Trail to be demolished

    WOW I was wondering how long it would take for someone to mention the amoeba. No one swims in-land bodies of water in Florida because of Amoebas. Not because of alligators, or pollution, or dirty brown water. Its the Amoebas PEOPLE! and I guess thats why the honeymooner could swim in...

    Pollo Campero coming to DTD

    I love Pollo Tropical! Your right, Tropical is more islandy latin (Puerto Rico, Cuba). Never been to a Loco. This Comparo place sounds like Latin America, like Mexico to South America. But what about Paradiso?? Maybe they will compliment each other?.. one fast and one sit-down?

    Frigid Weather Hits O-Town

    You are completely right! I am from Philly originally, and like any other four season region, I know what cold is. BUT for some STRANGE reason, when its cold in Florida it can wither entire orange crops in one night, it can slice right through your every layer and bite your bones!, it can...

    Bald Eagles make home at Contemporary

    Two Bald Eagles have just been installed at the Contemporary. Sorry, not real ones (although real Bald Eagles have been spotted on property). These Contemporary Bald Eagles are actually life-sized kites affixed to looong poles that jet out from the 14th floor on the North & South sides of the...

    Disney bus ran over a guest at the Contemporary

    i was there. all i saw was what i thought to be a UFO abducting the Contemporary, all sorts of flashing lights and stuff. then I opened my Magic Kingdom view curtains to see quite a scene! No Lie: at least 4 ambulances, maybe double that, at least one fire truck, maybe two, and AT LEAST a...

    Contempo Cafe Update 10/10/08

    Or, should we say, they are using the same touch screen technology that Wawa (a super-premium convenience store in the Northeast) has been using for years, I say since at least 2001 when I started college. Which was lightyears ahead of Disney. COME ON DISNEY!! What happened to Bob Iger's...

    Contemporary...Ick!

    No offense to the OP, but perhaps you were looking at things through some puke-green colored glasses (the opposite of rose colored glases I suppose), and I say this because almost all of the contemporary is finished with its COMPLETE face-lift. The Lobby which is amazing, The Wave, Fantasia...

    How will Tropical Storm/Potential Hurricane Fay Affect WDW?

    If it hits as a tropical storm, park hours will be unaffected. I was working during TS Alberto in 06, and it was really bad. I worked under Spaceship Earth in the Camera Center and watched as guests litterally got blow around, and drenched, and screamed like little girls. Cat 1: Parks closed...

    Breaking News: New Theme for 2009

    Is it true that there is a hiring freeze too? or is that just a rumor? At least Disney is taking an uncharacteristicly proactive approach to the forecasted economy hit. This may be why the company is STILL profitable. I dont agree though. I have a decidedly 'Build it and they will come...
