    News Major Hurricane Dorian impacts to Walt Disney World 2019

    And the Orange County sherrif’s department can shut down the roads which also means Disney. During Matthew no road traffic was allowed for at least 24hrs. That meant staff couldn’t get in or out, Disney vehicles couldn’t carry food or supplies. Only emergency vehicles were allowed. Disney does...

    Not much info about where it was cut, just that the preliminary investigation showed it was cut. And yeah, a strange thing to do.

    Yep, that’s what the RCMP is now saying, deliberate sabotage. It was at 4:30am, not operating and nobody on it. As said above, a cable like this doesn’t just break. It was a criminal act. This has no impact on the opening of the the Disney gondola system.

    Nope. Just at CBR. Riviera acts like a turning station but you can also get on and off there but only to go to the hotel. Otherwise straight through to Epcot or DHS depending on direction.

    And I’m sure you know but for others benefit, it’s a funicular designed, installed and maintained by Doppelmayr. They know about cables and retensioning.

    What resort do you think you'll never stay at?

    Of the deluxe, GF is the one we won’t stay at. It just doesn’t appeal to us and seems over priced for what it offers.

    CM Attacked at ToT

    This. And we do it in the hotel business as well. The ban enables the property owner to have the charge of criminal trespass laid which has legal penalties and a criminal record attach. In some cases we can know they are trying because we keep lists of banned persons including things like...

    Just got back from my 11 day stay. We had a blast but feel extorted by Mickey Mouse.

    I think the OP needs to look up the definition of extortion. Don’t see any force or threats here.

    Do you think you will ever enjoy Epcot again??

    I was there at the opening and it has never stopped being my favourite park. I can’t see any reason why it won’t continue to be in the future.

    What Happens To Left Behind Stuff?

    As a hotelier, most jurisdictions health codes require that we dispose of any food and drink items left behind. There is no way to know if items have been tampered with, even bottles and cans. There has been a lot more tampering of products than the high profile cases that make the press...

    Hotels water supply

    I would urge you to contact the manager of the Polynesian. As a hotelier, I would want this reported so we could investigate the situation and test the water in several buildings for possible allergens. Basically look for anything with the building that might be a source. We want to keep our...

    I hope he is joking because it’s very obvious it’s reflections. The upright is reflecting a palm tree.

    Again assumption. Nope I got it but others might have missed it. Insults not required.

    Yep, but venting on a vehicle moving 11mph cause air flow across you skin and the drying effect makes you feel cooler. Basic physics of heat transfer. And before I’m asked, yes I studied physics and chemistry in university.

    Nope, Doppelmayr’s information pages.

    I also wish they’d learn a little about the physics of heat transfer. Most of what we feel as heat is in the infrared end of the spectrum. We use coatings on house windows to reduce the heat transfer through windows and so does Doppelmayr. All of windows of a gondola are coated with an infrared...

    News Bird attack at Disney World leaves woman with traumatic brain injury

    When you drive along I4, well most southern highways, you see sign after sign for personal injury lawyers. These guys exist by hoping for settlement on iffy cases. The lawyer is likely hoping for a quick payout from Disney rather than to fight out a trivial case in court.

    Nope you cannot, unless the monorail is down. From the Poly it would be a walk to the TTC without monorail.

    CRT New Upcharge

    This is neither a scam nor a shame nor predatory. It is really not at all different from Animal Kingdom’s Wild Africa Trek. You are told exactly what you’ll get and how much it will cost. You, yes you, decide whether what is offered is worth that money to you. If you decide it is too expensive...

    Severe Thunderstorms Strike Disney World

    This storm was not your typical Florida pop up thunderstorm. This was a significant and dangerous squall line. Unfortunately, there is a report of an 8 year old girl being killed by a tree blown over by the winds, significant disruptions at MCO and power outages. We should maybe curtail the...
