This is out of control. Republicans don’t mess with corporations or encumber them with excessive regulation right? DeSantis is losing his billionaire supporters. I suspect that if people start to #boycottflorida he will start to lose his support from inside the state too.

someone start a change.org to get her fired. Unacceptable.

"McCarthy said, "I was talking to our parks senior team about things that we could do there. There are lots of things that are worth talking about. We can adjust suppliers. We can substitute products. We can cut portion size which is probably good for some people's wastelines." Did Disney just...

No, because individual busses are not assigned to a specific route all day long. They can and do go to a different resort each time they return to their assigned park. If one bus takes a long time to return from its last dispatch, no one suffers. So for example a bus leaves the Magic Kingdom at...

That must have been a Nova. THere are quite a few of them with retarders from hades.

Actually yes, given the flexible dispatching system, it is quite possible to do that and no one would even be aware of the difference.

So each park, regardless of total esitmated attendance for the day, is allocated the same number of busses? I think you should spend a little bit of time talking with a GSM or better yet, just go stright to the VP of Transportation to ask them if this is the case.

I have to disagree with Goofntnk on one point. While busses do rotate in and out of service on a daily basis, the number of busses not in service on any given day is typically much more than 12. In the industry, it is not uncommon to have as much as 5 to 10 percent of a fleet out on a given day...

Temporary Assignment with no guarantee of a permanent position when the assignment is over.

Maybe they are just discussing the sale of the the hotels and resorts to an outside operator? THe timeshare business is way more profitable for Disney than the resorts as the owenrship essentially pays the cost to maintain them each year. The regular hotels and resorts however seemt to be a...

I hear that a lot but fail to see any real implementation of such an attitude.

FHP responds to all vehicle accidents on property where a police report is needed. Orange County Deputies do not perform accident investigation duties on the property nor anywhere else if I remember correctly..

Interesting. I can only begin to imagine what this means for the future. I doubt that the government made them split up their business though. I would hazard a guess that it came more from internal customer satisfaction surveys. Afterall, as big as Disney is, they are not a monomoply in this...

Hmmm, when did that happen?

Disney owns approximately 290 Disney Transport Busses. THese are the ones that never leave Disney property. They each travel approximatley 60,000 to 70,000 miles per year without leaving Disney property. Disney's Magical Express and the Cruiseline busses are operated by Mears Destination...
