I've only been on one cruise, so correct me if I'm wrong, but, aren't the bathrooms very small and cramped and the actual possibility of water accidentally sprayed about is quite high. You really don't want those switches in there with you.
The bathroom we had wasn't too small and unless you are having an all out water fight, nothing's getting wet in there.

Thank you for presenting a different side of tenure; that was interesting. Apparently, there's both good and bad points, no matter how you slice it.

Yep. Deep down those in control know it isn't the best way to employ people, we'd all likely fix it if we could protect the good ones and toss the bad, sadly the bad classification is rather arbitrary when reviewing and removing.

I can't remember where I read it, but at some point over the past year, one of the forum members said that they were actually cutting the shirts a little larger. This goes against everything that you and @ajrwdwgirl have experienced in terms of shrinkage. Apparently, people were returning the shirts because, for example, a Large didn't seem to fit like a full Large, so they started cutting the Larges a bit more toward the XL size, to cut back on the returns. But, in theory, they did this with all the sizes--cut them more generously. All I know is that for what they charge for shirts in WDW, they should be making them a higher quality, so that all these shrinkage issues would not happen. :mad:

I think I will stop buying Disney shirts due to the fact I'll have no clue what size to get anymore. Unless I want to strip and try the shirt on.

So the bridge is done....well not really just the barrier part.

The bridge people has 2 main goals: less accidents and lower speed.

Going over for the first time with this new barrier with both lanes open. They fail. Even though the lanes are narrower, people are still zooming by you. And I do 40 - 50 on a 40 mph speed limit bridge. But people are closer to you because they don't want to hit the barrier.

I had this happen. I was used to buying a certain size for Disney t-shirts so that they had enough room in, ahem, certain places:angelic:. Then, last trip, I bought a shirt in Epcot. I thought it looked too big, but Mom said she thought it was the right size. I went back to the room and tried it on. WAY too big. I ended up going back to exchange it...for two sizes down. Now it fits perfectly.

I'm glad that they're starting to cut t-shirts more generously, though, because I've had trouble finding t-shirts in the past because I need them to be more generous up top, so now that they're cutting them with more room, I can find ones that work for me. Meanwhile, there are women who are much bigger than me, and who I know probably could find nothing since I was wearing the largest sizes in many cases.

Aaaaaaaand ... we're booked!

2 rooms - Coronado Springs. 10 day Park Hopper + Waterpark passes.
3 Guests w/Standard Dining. 2 Guests w/no DDP.

August 22 - September 1.

Anybody's trip overlapping?
Mine is earlier in August. You should have pretty low weekday crowds, though. Most schools will be back in session (hence why my trip is earlier in August).

There was a time when they were designed that way for safety reasons. The electrical switches were outside because the theory that water and electricity do not mix, really has a basis of reality. They felt that the further they put them from the water the better. Not necessary any more with all the new switches that will shut down the current if water is exposed, (ground fault interrupters) but, it does have a historical design background.

Back when I worked for a hotel company, I remember one of the interior designers brought up the subject of bathroom switches. There are different rules (inside or outside the bathroom for switches) for different countries. With a cruise ship out on the open sea, not tied to any country out there, they can probably do whatever they want! ;)
