Not true. I saw a report about Iger's statement an hour before the Hollywood Reporter (which was a retweet since I don't follow it either). And the article in Hollywood reporter was referencing other official sources (it wasn't released through them) and I saw it on a pen official Canadian news...

Considering that the Hollywood reporter reported at 12:15 PT (3:15 ET) that Bob Iger had released a statement and you started this thread an hour and 15 minutes later, this thread looks at best to be ill informed and really should be closed since the premise of the thread was wrong.

Generally the advice is to plan on 70-90 minutes from landing to your resort. It can be shorter or longer depending on many factors but you should be safe planning on those times. DME is not route based, it's demand based meaning it goes where the passengers on the bus are going. If you were...

And basically they do tell you at the earliest moment. A hotel cannot assign a room until it has been vacated by the previous guests, the room checked for fitness for occupation and housekeeping cleans and resets the room to default setup. Housekeeping then releases the room and then you get the...

The buttons and acknowledgement will be about it. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of people checking into Disney resorts almost daily with celebrations. It wouldn't be possible to do something special for all of them, so they pretty much stick to things like the buttons and an acknowledgement.

The OP is talking 3 adults in a room and knows that there is the extra person charge. To those counselling to just go ahead realize that you are telling the OP to commit fraud. Yes, it is fraudulent to avoid paying a room charge. Most housekeeping staff are told and trained to look for this kind...

Comparinging the drawbridge expanse to the MK canal expanse just isn't reasonable. The Epcot canal us about 30 ft across and the MK canal is over 109 ft. That would require a major drawbridge and would be a significant engineering task. And, to be that wide the cost of the bridge and the...

This will be 26th straight year of going to WDW and I have yet to have a trip without some attractions being refurb, and usually at least two headliners. They have to do maintenance and they do it year round. I wouldn't be advocating less maintenance. There are about 46 rides in WDW and...

Unfortunately, a walking path runs into similar issues as a walkway from GF has, you've got to cross a relatively wide boat channel, and a very active one in this case. It's also got to allow the passage of the MK stern wheeler for maintenance. Then the bridge has to accommodate wheelchairs etc...

Well, the biggest issue is that there is no water connection between AKL and AK so that's not going to happen. Being a deluxe is more about the accommodation level not transportation. After all, PO has boat transportation and isn't a deluxe. Transportation is about the available options not...

Micro-sleep was one of those things I studied in the era I worked as a neuropsychologist. The only factor that matters is how tired/exhausted a person is. A person can have a half second micro-sleep and not even be aware of it. Many swear they were entirely awake and aware when they weren't. A...

Absolutely you should reserve in advance. If you are using DME to return to the airport they need to know in order to schedule you on a return bus. If they didn't know your return time and you were the only one at your resort returning at that time of day they might not show up at all thinking...

It's quite easy to experience what's called micro-sleep which can last a fraction of a second to several seconds. It can happen at any time of the day when one is over tired. We've all likely experienced it with that quick nod off and then a sudden jolting back to awareness experience. We don't...

In some ways the fence may have made things a little worse at the main pool. In the past there was more pool deck space by the beach and of course there were lounge chairs on the beach. It was relatively easy to grab one of the beach lounge chairs and use it while using the pool. Now with the...

Post 14 gives a good explanation of why it's more than the cost of a piece of paper. As long as a Disney dollar is in circulation, ie not in Disney's hands, it has to be treated on the balance sheet as a liability. Reason, as low no as its out in circulation there is a possibility, regardless of...

The Poly is a great resorts and its rooms are larger than those at WL. They are the largest regular rooms on property. It is a gorgeous resort, not at all spread out and a very relaxing atmosphere. Easy walk to GF (15-20 min), you can use the resort launch to MK (very nice), it's on the resort...

Well not exactly alike. The Mark IVs had a small white protuberance containing a light on the front top of the driver's cabin that the Mark VIs didn't. The Mark VI monorail has the light but not the same protuberance and makes the two versions quite distinguishable.

Maybe someone in the know can answer this. Since OLC pays for them do they get exclusive rights to them, at least for a period of time?

I think Tuvalu has come up with the best choice. For a balcony you must request 3rd floor and I 'd ask for Oasis pool side. There are standard room views in Fiji and Aeotearoa but both require going around the marina to use the pools and for both if you get a room on the Luau Cove side they can...

Actually, water was available in individual bottles a few years ago. It has been quite awhile though, could be 10 years. Then they had large glass bottles for a couple of years but you had to ask for it. For the last number of years been just the cistern. The lounge manager told us that people...
