Very true. This is also why DVC has been telling members they expect the sorcerer pass to be available to them throughout the year even when it's not available to Florida residents. Obviously the bean counters did not calculate the profitability of DVC members as annual passholders. Or the...

I was part of the crowd that tried to buy passes at 6:00 a.m. it kept crashing when you tried to check out. But then at 9:00 a.m. suddenly the checkout process worked. Then they implemented the virtual cue. So nice of them to use DVC members as the guinea pigs. Good luck to everybody trying to...

Uh no, not even close. I have an aunt who winters in Vegas. She loves the slots and buffets. I've got a timeshare a block away from the Strip. I can take an easy 4.5 hr flight. And yet I cannot bring myself to go back to Vegas. I've gone to all the hotels. I've done the shows. I've been up the...

I haven't read all the posts in this thread so may have missed the subtlety of WDWMagic's argument. The post I replied to said it was impossible to put 5 million lights up in EPCOT. That supposition is just plain wrong. It is both very feasible and needed. Thanks. Maybe the WDW monitors will...

This is how Busch Gardens decorates their steam train for Christmas. The lights are powered by a generator in the caboose. And they play Christmas carols over the train's PA. Riding it makes you weep for what Disney could do if they just tried. For the record, Busch Gardens Williamsburg...

I'm not understanding that. Have you seen Innoventions and the pavilions surrounding FutureWorld? As soon as you walk away from the fountain, especially on the Land and Imagination pavilion side, there is nothing but empty walls and no decorations. No, you don't have the city building facades...

Um not denial, thank you very much. I know darn well Christmas ended 3 weeks ago. I'm still celebrating winter with my lights. What else am I going to do? Embrace the dark barrenness of the landscape with its dormant trees, dead plants, brown grass and bitterly cold nights without any snow to...

I'd take comfort in that if I believed in current management to keep Walt's vision alive. They have been making too many idiotic, cost-cutting, profit-over-guest decisions the last 2-5 years for me to trust them. I know Imagineers want to keep a light show and move it elsewhere during...

It has been my dad's and my tradition to fly down to Disney for New Year's ever since becoming DVC owners about 10 years ago. We'd go to the Studios to see midnight fireworks (watched from Echo Lake just outside 50's Primetime Diner), go to a ride (TSMM, Muppets, or Star Tours) then spend the...

Oh cool can I join the lawsuit them for lack of accessibility? Those automated machines NEVER work for people with my sorts of disabilities who also drive. They have them at my local beach lot. I avoid it like the plague. Unless you all would prefer to sit behind me while I honk my horn...

Having been the wheelchair user who's powerchair has broken down several times over the last decade, I am well aware what CMs can and can't do (most rules due to Workman's Comp concerns). A CM cannot physically lift a guest or chair. If the guest has to be evacuated or the chair needs to be...

I thought it was an upbeat ending yet very bittersweet. Last song was a rendition of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. When the vocals sang "Thru the years we all will be together if the fates allow" I started crying. Osborne has been a NYE tradition for me and my dad for most of the last...

From growing up where I live I have always witnessed the hotter and stickier it gets the thinner tempers are. People under stress can't afford much patience. That stress could be because they are too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry, too hungry, too tired, too overstimulated, too overworked, etc...

Too true. I'm a Disney Diehard but I see where WDW has gotten in a rut. Their theme park updates and expansions are in a rut while the hotel/timeshare business is their cash cow for expansion. Very sad.

The toilet has the highest demand of the most immediate nature. When you gotta go ya gotta go now! Who hangs out at the sink all day? You brush your teeth and your done. Maybe for some people who linger over primping their hair and make-up. It is possible for someone to use the shower and...

Without a second toilet is a waste of space to me. That's what comes in short supply when a group gets ready in the morning. We toured the rooms on Wednesday. I give them props for the decor. It did not look as dated as in pictures. But the problems remain with the view and lack of space. I...

When you have a physical disability you have two choices in life: let it dominate your life and do nothing at all or learn how to manage it so you can participate as much as possible in life. Managing involves many coping strategies from taking medication (I always carry a supply of pain meds...

Huh? It didn't matter who broadened the definition for my argument. It's that in broadening the definition of disabled you are allowing a system where too many people qualify for services. Eventually you have an unsustainable system. It's akin to Congress declaring every US Citizen qualifies for...

Problem is the definition of disabled was broadened so much over the last 20 years the law needs revisiting or else we will just be opening the door to so much fraud there's no help for the group we intended to aid. I understand the reason for providing services for those with hidden...

When I last visited Universal in 2002 they had virtually no assistance program for the disabled. My experience was terrible and frightening. And at the time I was traveling in a manual wheelchair with two helpers. The experience left me scarred for years and I never wanted to go back. Harry...
