Yeah, good point. Crocs are more solid construction, albeit a bit "ugly". Seriously though, who cares how they look if they work for you :)

You can try TOMS shoes if you don't like Crocs. They have a cool policy where you buy a pair, and the company donates a pair to a child in need. It's like tomsshoes.com or something like that.

I've done it. We were there for 2 weeks and stayed at 3 different resorts. We started off at Port Orleans, then bounced to Coronado, and ended the trip at the Caribbean Beach. It was awesome, and the bell service moves all of your luggage for you. It's worth doing if you are there for a...

That's cool. It was a bit disturbing seeing vacant storefronts there of all places.

Damn, I didn't realize that much has changed since then. That's a pretty short timeframe...

My bet would be the Contemporary. It is all about the angle though for the fireworks. Same thing in Disneyland. They are fired off from way behind the castle. If you're off angle, the parallax messes with the whole show.

I totally agree here. There are many variables. However, did you, or could you still purchase travel insurance? If you can, that might help you hedge your bets. I'd check to see if you can do that. It's scary when you have a trip planned and feel like your job is threatened. I hope that...

I agree. I did Coronado Springs a couple of times with no kids and LOVED it. It is my favorite out of the moderate resorts. There are semi-private pools in each cluster, and the main pool is fun. I love the ambiance of the place as well. My next favorite would be Port Orleans due to the...

Yeah, those slides are pretty crazy! I remember a water park in NJ that was called Action Park. The whole park was one big liability machine. It was FUN, but every time I went I left with bruises and scrapes. Luckily, BB is more tame that that place was, but the Summit slide is definitely...

Mine was Countdown to Extinction cause it reminded me a whole lot of the movie Aliens. I hear that they have made it less scary in the last few years though, and now call it Dinosaur.

Wise this is, Master Yoda. Judge people for where they go on vacation, we should not. For our ally is the Mouse, and a powerful ally it is. It surrounds us in the media, penetrates us in our memories, and binds the galaxy together in happiness. Nothing wrong with that, there is. :D

As long as we as a society allow this to happen, and even reward it, we can't really complain. My issue is with using stock price as an indicator of executive performance. The article mentions that in a world of bubbles, stock price is not always indicative, or even directly correlated to...

This is all very interesting. I don't see Disney buying, but I hope someone does. Universal is a great park(s). It's all speculation at this point, but damn interesting...

Congratulations!! My best wishes to you and your wife.

For me it was choosing a spot near Paris for Illuminations in EPCOT, then exiting the park toward the Boardwalk. This saved us tons of time waiting for the buses in front of EPCOT, not to mention the crowds near the front exit.
