    News Bob Iger outlines the need to transform the Walt Disney Company resulting in 7000 job losses and $5.5 billion in cost savings

    I think the unions will get the $18/hour they want next week and these lay offs will help with the cost of that. Disney needs the front line workers like housekeeping/front desk/ culinary more than Marketing and PR at this point. They get free advertising from all the bloggers/vloggers now. $20...

    Dolphins at The Seas w/ Nemo & Friends

    They had issues with the tank filtration several years ago too. Tours were cancelled for a long time. I think they lost a lot of fish and since then it has never looked as good as it used to:(

    Disney lets child molester employee escape

    I do not have children. I am actually shocked at how many people with children think how Disney handled this was OK. I just choose not to vacation there at this time. I do not like how they handled this. Maybe they will make a statement and explain. Sure hope so. Also, I am a travel agent so I...

    Disney lets child molester employee escape

    Done. When asked about the reason for canceling, I said I was upset at the handling of the incident. The res agent was calm and said she was sorry to hear that. I wonder if they told them to be prepared or if others have canceled? She was only slightly thrown off.

    Disney lets child molester employee escape

    This really upset me and I do not even have kids. I am probably going to cancel our Dream cruise in the fall. DCL really dropped the ball on this.

    Disney Springs Plans: What do they mean?

    Trader Sam's is great fun. I would love if they put this at WDW. Heck I would like to bartend there:) I wonder if Walt's Place would be anything like Walts at Disneyland Paris which I also love-beautiful restaurant. The other stuff I could care less about. The food trucks are cool though.

    Those that convinced thier significant others to move to FL, how?

    We moved to FL for close to 6 years (Celebration.) It was a lot of fun and we met some great people, but it was time to move back north. We were sick of contract work and crappy benefits. The crime was getting scary too. DH got offered a great job back north so we took it. The cost of living in...

    Kidd's back - Some observations

    We got back last weekend and I ITA with you about Test Track. I told my husband right after we got off that it lost all of its heart! Even though the original que was LOUD- it was still very cool and the theme was carried through. Now people had no clue what was going on. The crowds were indeed...

    Why is running at Disney so popular?

    They do the EE Challenge, but I think it is just a 5K. They also had a Muddy Buddy at WWofS.

    Behind the Scenes Haunted Mansion Tour

    I took that tour 2 times as well. I LOVED it. The first time they allowed pictures (everywhere) and of course my friend, my husband and I did not bring a camera because we did not think we would be allowed! This was before cell phone cameras were any good, so we got a few crappy ones (too dark.)...
