    What happens to the Lost and Found

    Once an item is found it is turned into the nearest attraction or merchandise location. They will keep it for about one - two hours to see if a guest comes looking for it. It is then sent to Guest Relations where it is held until the end of the day. At that point the items are sent to a local...

    Since you are only planning on a month or so look into Vacation Rentals. There are many of them (some are manufactured home that the owners are only Snowbirds). Use Google to help you.

    Train refurb in Germany?

    There is an exhibit in the main area of the Wilderness Lodge Villas (DVC) that is maintained by the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society about Walt's love for trains. It has many photos and other items including a train (static display) of Walt and his model train the Carolwood Pacific.

    OS: Confederate Flag Removed from Epcot

    You are correct that Epcot is not a museum, but the American Adventure Pavilion is and they have a full time museum curator. So does the Hall of Presidents, GMR, The Magic of Disney Animation and One Man's Dream. The old American Film Institute also had a curator. Security is required to lock...

    Character greetings that no one knows about...

    There are three locations in Epcot that "trainees" use. American Adventure, International Gateway and the South side (Showcase side) of the main fountain (very rare but sometimes Marie will be in France). There is no schedule.

    How hard would it be.....

    I used to work Buzz and there was a CM (still there last time I went) that would ride by himself, max out the right-hand gun and then move over and max out the left-hand gun before the end of the ride. You might want to try that.

    Only Fp allowed to ride?

    You are making the assumption that if they move to FP+ only that they will not change the rules and procedures of FP+.

    Thoughts on Disney Springs Redevelopment

    Doesn't Apple have an unbreakable law that requires their stores to be so antiseptically white that they can perform open-heart surgery.

    Cool Club - Epcot

    That's not old. My first visit to Disneyland was in August 1955.

    Off-Hours Attraction Maintenance/Cleaning

    It differs with each attraction. Splash Mountain has someone walk the track and remove hats, trash, etc. every night. Space Mountain checks the brake zones and maintenance will inform attraction CMs which trains are to be placed in specific locations for regular PMs which includes inspection...

    Monorail Sets? (not sure where to post (as usual))

    I do not use a chamber as I find that it works fine without one. As for undercuts: it depends on the part. I sometimes make more than one mold and glue the smaller parts together to get the final version, other times the undercuts are not a problem with the flexible molding materials. I tend...

    Monorail Sets? (not sure where to post (as usual))

    There are different types of molding materials as well as different types of plastic to make the parts. It is easy to learn how (the web site has many videos) and I have had no problems making small and large parts.

    Monorail Sets? (not sure where to post (as usual))

    Many modelers, including myself, use Alumilite (Google it) to make copies of parts.

    Pandora Charms

    My daughter is big on these charms and she has found that if it is a Limited Edition chances are they are sold out within a week of being announced. The non-LE versions are usually always available.

    Staggs promoted to COO

    I agree with you on this issue but Lasseter has never been given the "power" that Wells had. It is an interesting thought since Staggs and Lasseter seem to get along well.

    Staggs promoted to COO

    I have always believed that this is a major issue with Disney as a whole. Walt created a business that required one individual that had great creativity but not necessarily great business sense (Walt) and one that had great business sense with little to no creativity (Roy). When Walt died the...

    "No strings attached" golden ticket

    Here is how a No Strings Attached works. Their purpose is to give CMs the ability to make a bad situation a little better. CMs can give them out as a universal FP (only good for one attraction per ticket), to replace a spilled drink, dropped ice cream, or if someone falls down (usually a...

    $1.00 per reservation?

    This is not just Disney. I get the same $1.00 charge when I purchase gas and from a few online websites. I asked my bank and they stated that it is to avoid large losses from the credit card company if the card proves to be stolen or fake.
