Follow up. This showed up as a FB remembrance from 2014.

Poinsettias are always pretty but no Christmas topiaries at the front entrance? I'm sure they're elsewhere in the park, though.

I recall there being one on October 1, 2021, during the lackluster 50th anniversary celebration that day.

From what I hear, the same thing is happening with Zootopia replacing Who Wants to be a Bug? Wash, rinse, repeat.

I hope they're in the parks. We could be more forgiving on Saturday or Sunday during brunch time.

Another way to look at this: that would be a lot of commerce occurring in a resort lobby. Not just the usual gingerbread items from the gingerbread house but also drinks from The Perch. My first thought for the gingerbread house that fits thematically is Boardwalk. It's a smaller lobby, though.

Those were your Impressions de France, huh?

Yes. Related to a lot of things. X/Grok, ChatGBT, among others were also out.

Orlando, beware what you ask for, you just might get it. (Probably not. But if we think it's bad in Tally, yeah, I can imagine the traffic of residents, UCF students, Seaworld guests, Uni guests, WDW guests, I-4 thru-traffic, legislators, staff, and lobbyists.)

True. Tallahassee doesn't have year round guests. We get an influx every year with the start of Session and the new school year for FSU, FAMU, and TSC. Of course, we can't wait until their departure also to lessen the drain on traffic, etc. (Love the college students. Legislators, staff, and...

I know many who do because far less expensive than out of Tally. But if I really have to spell out my business, I'm spending Thanksgiving with family in Jax. The cruise is December 1-12 out of Miami. Makes sense to fly round trip out of Jacksonville anyway. And I have really perished the crazy...

My logo is pretty obvious about it. Tallahassee. But my plans are to fly round trip out of Jacksonville due to cheaper rates. Come to think of it, the idea really is insane. I've got enough Disney stuff already. I'm better off just boarding my flight and returning to Jacksonville.

Obviously Disney benefits by having you pick them up in a park. The hope is you spend $$$ while there. I return from a non-Disney cruise in the Port of Miami on December 12. I suppose I would be insane to rent a car, drive to WDW, pick up the magnets then drive home rather than take my return...

So let me get this straight. Instead of an area for purchasing retro merchandise, they'll have an area for recording yourself opening mystery merch. Um, okay.
