Nothing will happen with Flamingo Crossings until Disney can prove they can make a success out of Disney Springs. Downtown and the former Pleasure Island weren't exactly showcases of success that Disney could use to sell Flamingo to prospective tennants. "Look! We can place one of your...

You've summed up how my family feels as well. While I look back fondly at our Disney trips, the thought of going there now doesn't sound all that relaxing. Maybe Disney has decided that we're not their target market anymore?

I know this will be controversial to some but my vote is for the Pop Century. I've never stayed there, but to me it just looks like a non-descript 70's concrete hotel building with some tacky fibeglass ornaments thrown on it. I'm sure it looks better when you're actually on the grounds, but...

I've been away from here for a while, but now that some major family issues are past I'm just catching up on goings-on at WDW. We're also discussing a vacation for late this year or early spring. Not only does this whole thing make my head hurt, but when I described it to my family of four...

I've experienced just about all of the threats mentioned above in the last five years. At the time, I didn't even realize I was in the earthquake, I thought one of our drivers clipped the building with a triaxle dump truck (not unusual). We usually get a small tornado through the area about...

As an old guy I've always watched Jay too, but like Carson its become a little too long in the tooth and probably won't appeal to the age group that can stay awake that late for very much longer. Conan was too weird. Dave's routines are getting a little old. I like Fallon, but I'll probably...

Not necessarily, Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton also has a working shop. Fascinating place to visit if you're into trains (and my original home).

Today I just got rid of the last snow pile in my driveway from the February blizzard because I was tired of looking at it. Thankfully tonights snow is supposed to go out to the Atlantic to the south of us, but it's still very cold here for this time of year. Seems like spring doesn't want to...

Details, Details.... LOL

My DD's school has already mandated iPads for all grades down to fifth, and plans to go lower next year. As you can imagine, there's not as much studying going on with them as there is communicating with friends through face time or playing games. I have to wonder if the school admins have...

I think you're right, and I think there may be something a little more sinister going on here. (Please put on your tin hat.) TDO seems to be bent on wringing every last penny out of guests before they leave the park, rather than improving or creating attractions that would add attendance. The...

Sorry, I haven't read every single post here because some other things keep side tracking me, like eating and sleeping. Forgive me if I'm restating some other posts. My biggest fear from all of this is that all the tracking, targeted promotion and "scheduled" touring are going to turn WDW into...
