    News Jellyrolls Announces Departure from Disney's BoardWalk at Walt Disney World

    You would be surprised on how noisy it really was. We once had the room circled in red below. I wasn't happy with the front desk, but they assured me that if it was noisy, they would move us, no problem.... Well, it wasn't noisy and I slept fine.

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Today's Epcot ticket price is $169. (I know most don't pay that, but it is the established price). For that kind of money, I want to have visual eye candy. I want a theme. Something unique, not bland. I don't want to see airport concourses. I don't want to see a college cafeteria. I...

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Steve, wasn't the pump infrastructure for the fountain of Nations located in the basement of communicore West? I seem to recall a diagram of the basement posted at the beginning of this project and there was a section called pump room. If so, why can't it be reverted back. The basement is still...

    Resort Airline Check In Service testing a return

    Why? That's easy. Covid was an unexpected immediate slowdown/shutdown. MCO like other places/companies had no idea what the future was going to hold. Was the population going to be decimated like the black death in Europe? What would travel look like when Covid is done? Back to normal...

    Resort Airline Check In Service testing a return

    Why would there be baggage transfer between terminals? MCO is not a hub airport with connecting flights. Its an end point airport. What little connections would be on the same airline at the same airside terminal. None of the airlines are split across terminals.

    Resort Airline Check In Service testing a return

    Bingo. We have a winner. From the article: MCO is desperate to get bags out of the main building (A & B) and into a remote facility for inspection. (This explains why Southwest) They are willing to pay $6.75 a bag, $25M a year to a company doing this. Industry experts say that this is...
