Maybe the crash the first time you saw it WAS the technical difficulty. I'd imagine it's much less wear and tear on the scenery if it comes down gradually. Just a thought.

I like that smell too -- always reminds me of barbecue! Mmmmm.......mesquite! :slurp:

There is also one on display in Exposition Hall at the MK. It's way in the back, past the movie theatre area. I got to sit in it this past weekend -- brought back lots of memories! :D

Tony's USED to offer a great breakfast, but they stopped doing it. :cry: It was really good -- I miss it. They also had breakfast at Cosmic Ray's there for a while, but I think they stopped that as well. Usually when I go, I stop and get something at the Main Street Bakery, or go on over...

EWWWW! GROSS!! :hurl:

I'm kind of amazed how bad some of the DTD hotels are, considering they are so close to the parks. I've stayed at several hotels in the area, and most of them were pretty disappointing. The Grosvenor should be called the GROSSvenor. :hurl: The Best Western LBV had the worst, yet most...

Hmmm.... I'll be there this weekend too! We're going over tomorrow night and coming back Sunday night. Hope the weather is good! :cool:

Only slightly off-topic, but does anyone else miss the breakfast they used to serve at Tony's Town Square? I always looked forward to that, and now it's gone. :cry:

I agree -- I'd go back just to do IYHW!

Yes it does! Thanks -- that helps to put it into perspective a little better. The last forecast track has it going even a little further west than the last one. NWS has the sustained winds at 165 mph now and a pressure of 914 mb/26.99 inches ... unbelievable! :eek:

According to the latest track, they're putting Ivan off the west coast of Florida by late Monday/early Tuesday. Being in Tampa, I'm pretty interested in what it might do. Can anyone tell from the maps approximately how far offshore the current track is placing the eye from Tampa Bay? None of...

Okay, I'll answer my own question. The last time there were four named storms to hit Florida in one season was in 1995. The 1995 Atlantic Hurricane season was the second most active season on record, and the most active in sixty-two years. Ninteen named storms formed that year, second only...

Here's a question for you guys and gals out there -- if Ivan does actually hit Florida, it will be the 4th tropical system to make landfall in the state this year (Bonnie, Charley, Frances & Ivan.) Has that ever happened before in one season?

At the risk of being labeled an alarmist -- this is just in from the AP: Fla. Urges New Evacuations As Ivan Nears 46 minutes ago By ADRIAN SAINZ, Associated Press Writer MIAMI - Tourists and residents were told Thursday they will have to leave the Florida Keys to avoid mighty...
