    Cuts coming to every area of parks and resorts - thanks to Shanghai and Paris

    So you have made a choice not to read my first post. OK. I will play your game. Man, I used to be able to take pictures after park closing. I was always aware of where the security CM's were, and I always paced myself to stay way ahead of them. I was never the last one out of the park. In...

    Cuts coming to every area of parks and resorts - thanks to Shanghai and Paris

    This is actually "normal". If you are in a land after closing, once security starts its sweep, the only direction you can go is towards the exit. What is not normal is for security to actively tell you to leave.

    Please re-read my original post before you accuse me of trying to get away with anything.

    Cuts coming to every area of parks and resorts - thanks to Shanghai and Paris

    You're right. Security sweeps are not new, and they have never affected me before. I guess you didn't read that part. I also said in my first post that I have never had security get anywhere near me, which means I must not be one of the last ones out of the park. If you read, and understood, my...

    Cuts coming to every area of parks and resorts - thanks to Shanghai and Paris

    Clearly some members have reading comprehension issues. Either that, or the Disney drones are out in full force spinning the issue the way they want it presented. It's beginning to become clear why Disney knows they can get away with the things they get away with.

    Cuts coming to every area of parks and resorts - thanks to Shanghai and Paris

    Opinion noted. Perhaps you should share your opinion with the hundred or so visitors still on Main Street after the shops close. Let me know what they think. Have you been at DL or MK after Main Street closes? Do you know what the normal security CM procedure is? Before the budget cuts, did...

    Cuts coming to every area of parks and resorts - thanks to Shanghai and Paris

    It's not written anywhere - including in my post. You clearly miss the point where I say that I have stayed after closing numerous times and no one has chased me out. In fact, I am normally not even close to being the last person out. The issue is that a new policy is in place. Your choice to...

    Cuts coming to every area of parks and resorts - thanks to Shanghai and Paris

    I think this is the right thread to post in, even though I am going to describe a recent experience I had at DL. At the end of my story, I'm going to ask a question that is specifically MK related, so I'm pretty sure this post belongs here. On Thursday, April 14th I went to DL. I was there in...

    Disneyland vs. Magic Kingdom poll(only those who have been to both)

    Disneyland has benches everywhere. I was there last week, and I sat on a bench on Main Street while watching PTN. Priceless. The chairs at Disneyland also have backs. This might not matter to you now, but it will, someday. MK is only worth visiting because of the attractions it has that DL...

    Uber with car seats coming soon to Orlando

    I am a former Uber driver and a former taxi driver. I drove for both in the Orlando area. I never offered a car seat with Uber because there was no room to carry it in my Nissan Sentra. I would never know what my next ride would be, and many times I would need every inch of space in my trunk...

    2015 Christmas Week phase closings watch

    I'm guessing they will also be bumping up against Phase B soon, too. It's just a guess based on what I'm seeing.

    2015 Christmas Week phase closings watch

    MK will be at Phase A very soon. It's currently 9:04. World Drive is backed up to just north of Buena Vista Drive. It's moving at a slow crawl because all of the toll lanes are filled with cars. Vista Drive is backed up to past Fort Wilderness. Traffic on Epcot Center Drive is backed up to I-4...

    2015 Christmas Week phase closings watch

    MK parking full. Correction: The signs say "MK Full. Follow purple signs to other parks" At 10:40 DHS was easy to get into via the north entrance. Still plenty of parking available. At 11:40 all toll lanes at AK were open with only a 2 or 3 car backup in each lane. Lots of parking left.

    News New security measures

    The last time I went to Six Flags Magic Mountain they had everybody go through metal detectors. If Disney wanted to spend the money, they could install a metal detector where each table is and have all guests go through them. They could even theme it and make it look unobtrusive and like it...

    Studios parking lot reaching capacity (Dec 2015)

    To use Uber or Lyft, go to where the taxis are. Go one row past them, and then you will see signs for the guest pickup/drop off area. Once you are in that row you can make your request. Make sure you drop your pin directly over the blue dot that shows your location. Also, ignore the ETA that the...

    Studios parking lot reaching capacity (Dec 2015)

    I just dropped off at DHS. The entire far, southeast section of the parking lot is completely empty. I hope they don't open it up because it creates gridlock on Buena Vista Drive and World Drive.
