Disney was mentioned back in 2001 - not during the time frame the room checks started. And the parks were the focus here, not the small resorts. And we absolutely have evidence the measures have been ineffective - the simple fact that they have not required the Swan/Dolphin or the hotels on...

You clearly don't travel much. As somebody who travels 300 out of 365 days a year and has a significant other in the hotel industry working for one of the largest hotel operators in the US- this is NOT an industry standard. No hotels are doing what Disney is doing. In fact, MGM hotels in...

From what I hear, this isn't replacing the current shipping options at the Disney owned shops. This is primarily for 3rd party shops that do not offer this service as well as helping to support any international shipments that they normally wouldn't get involved with. Disney's own pricing...

The reality is that most of us will never understand the struggles of other medical's conditions until we have a loved one who has these complications. That poster's comments highlight that ignorance perfectly.

The thing is - it doesn't create queue pressure. If the CM's are cycling the Genie+ LL folks and DAS holders properly, there should never be any queue pressure...unless of course Disney is overselling Genie+LL or a ride has downtime throughout a day. The only time where this to be an issue is...

Not only do lawyers lose cases but DISNEY's lawyers have lost many cases. Some you hear about, many you don't since they're settled behind closed doors. Whenever you're dealing with disabilities, you have to tread very carefully. Disney seems like they've been a little sloppy this time around...

This is rather an ignorant comment about "heat exhaustion" not being a valid excuse in Florida. If you're not a medical professional, you should not be debating about what you feel is "valid" (unless we're talking about something very ridiculous). I know many people who have disabilities that...

Disney's cancellation policy has never been "generous". Even at it's current 5 day term, it's still way behind industry average. Disney's charging enough for their hotels that they can afford to figure out how to manage their IT infrastructure which should flag and automatically cancels...

And that's why Sebastians' isn't just "family style". Everyone can't order just one entree. They force the table (or "highly encourage") to order the same entree to "share" but they don't define portion sizes. This is where "all you can eat" comes into play. If WDW wants to claim this isn't...

Absolutely not! Nobody should have to buy supplemental travel insurance because of insane cancellation policies at a hotel. I get doing it for a cruise because you're not just subsidizing the room but rather all of the on board amenities - but not at a hotel with an inflated hotel price. On top...

As a lawyer, I can tell you, in the instance of Sebastians, it's what the menu DOESN'T SAY, that reinforces the idea that it's all you can eat (well it's that and several other things, but I dont want to make this more complicated than it needs to be). It's a menu of "family style" options...

You couldn't be more blatantly wrong and apparently do not understand the restaurants business model. Sebastians is an ALL YOU CAN EAT dining experience that is served family style. Buca di Bepo, on the other hand, is not an all you can restaurant, but serves their meals in a family style...

This is never going to last. Not only is this not competitive and bucks the resort/hotel industry trend on cancellation policies, but this also defies logic in the sense that most people who cancel trips at the 5 day mark do it for legitimate reasons (i.e. sickness, weather related concerns, or...

Full time Disney Store employees get the same perks as any full time CM. This includes park access, merchandise discounts, resort discounts, etc. The *only* exception to the above is that "Florida site" cast members are eligible for discounts that the rest of the company (such as Disney Store...
