Say you’ve never worked in a theme park without saying you’ve never worked in a theme park. judging from your other posts, it sounds like your idea of a fun weekend is going to Olive Garden and yelling at your 19 year old server

Christmas entertainment should be running by then - I'd definitely catch the Macy's parade in Universal Studios, as it's great. Best viewing is right in front of Mummy!

I know it's not really secret, but I love the side seating area for Sunshine Seasons. It's not a quiet area by any means, but the atmosphere is always so relaxing as you have the pavilion music playing and can people watch. When I had an AP, I would go there just to get a kids meal and work on...

Oh, it’s a cult.

I let my Disney AP expire and went for a Uni pass instead. I’ll always have a soft spot for the parks (and i’m actually visiting soon for my birthday), but Uni seems to fill the theme park void quite well for me as an Orlando local. The price increases and quality cuts combined with horrible...

Counterpoint to RNRC having best launch in Orlando- have you ridden Velocicoaster? The launches, especially in front row, literally took my breath away.

Universal posted a video of an onion in front of Shrek and they replaced it with a banana…pretty much confirms the tumor IMO.

Shrek 4D tonight, right before close.

As someone who has been getting into UO lore and inside jokes after getting burned by Disney too many times, I really hope they don’t change the plot. Would it be for the better? Definitely, because nobody waits long enough or pays enough attention to get the exposition. the “coffee” line made 0...

Flamingo rent starts at $175. My friend’s weekly rent is $195 in a 4/2.

CPs are absolutely getting milked dry rn and are self-terming at super high rates. Because Flamingo Crossing is so god damn expensive - a friend of mine says she brought home $40 last week. A “good” week is $140. How the hell are you supposed to live on that? Not to mention save? You can’t.

Right, I meant in general people are complaining about DVC, not you specifically. It does seem people are finally cancelling trips due to this lack of service, but I worry this will only hurt front line CMs. Still, it’s the only way to make Disney reconsider their business practices.

Call it what you will but after reading about Steven Tyler has done, I feel icky that it’s in the parks. Even if adopting and impregnating a 16 year old when you were 25 was just “the times” it’s still icky. Not to mention the band is old news.

No, this is by the land and imagination. Map for reference-
