Just don't encourage people to lack courage or justify their lack of solidarity. Maybe Europeans are less "phobic" or maybe they were braver, stauncher supporters of America than some Americans. I don't criticize NY residents for post 9/11 trauma. I do wonder why Idaho. Alabama, Texas...

The vestal virgins was a very dated joke based on a Procol Haram song from way back. I guess I'm a bit triggered as a Brit who flew into Orlando 3 weeks after 9/11 with my sister and brother in law plus 4 kids ( 1 special needs) when we could have cancelled after rumors of Florida being a...

I am assuming that the values that drove the original timeshare -- like the values that drove earlier resorts and the parks -- are no longer aligned. Some DVC members ( I am former, not current) have for several years noted some decision-making that seemed to be more about making Disney money...

Unless the "huge" studios are a different booking category and possibly different points, you will stay in the dvc room you are allocated. That's how it works -- you can request, but it doesn't have to be honored. If I was selling DVC points, as long as points are unsold and that inventory can...

Plus, if this is rolled into the existing DVC, one of the objectives may be to address the points problem cause by all of those waterfront villas. You don't want to add more than a couple of Grand Villas (sleeping 12 or 13) in the new building because they would drain even more points away...

Has there ever been a new build DVC that didn't have car park views?

How were you "taking" your 7 vestal virgins? Flying the plane, paying for the vacation, making the bookings? Perhaps they can make their own risk assessments and go it alone? Greece is not at risk from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. All you do by cancelling the trip is punish the Greek...

I suggest you invest in a family Atlas. Europe is a continent (like the Americas) and the traditional vacation spots Americans might visit are nowhere near any conflict zones. The distance from Ukraine to Paris is about the same as the distance from Orlando to Canada. Given the rubbish tires...

Nope; BRG is tiny inside, noisy inside, without showing any sport or having a sports supporter vibe. Anyone who knows anything about the place insists on being seated outside.

Could have been sold as the ship's accommodation for Gungon visitors from Naboo -- with appropriate poolside theming of course.

Funny -- I distinctly remember my family taking rickshaw cycle transport from one of the Universal hotels (can't remember if it was Hard Rock or Portofino) to their parks at some point in the distant past. We tipped very high because the two rickshaw teams we used competed to get there first.

Internationally, the U.S. is notorious for being very poor at the type of testing required to routinely identify variants. Your data only reflects the fact that in some locations testing of variants in the labs is OK, whereas in most places, it is bad. So this distribution data you refer to...

But hell those student loans make the whole thing an economic ball and chain....

Funnily enough, in the studies, the presence of the trash can was observed to play a part in the positive response to the positive messaging. The "bad boys and girls" who would ignore the threat of a penalty, also ignored the presence of the trash can, whilst the more positive exhortation lead...

Classic marketing psychology. Studies show that signs in parks saying "Penalty for dropping litter is $X", are less effective in reducing litter than signs saying "This place is beautiful because people don't drop litter".

Yes we know it's not true, but it's what they argue.

They wouldn't like our labor laws preventing corporations stiffing employees during a pandemic.

No. I don't live in the U.S. So I benefit from an advanced medical health coverage that is not "insurance" based. But, one of the supposed advantages that proponents of insurance based systems have argued is that if there are costs and penalties involved, behaviors can be changed. So if...

I think that the suggestion of invalidated insurance, or the first denial of coverage, would wake up a lot of people and encourage them to comply with health advise whilst the court cases were settled. The country only needs 3 months of people doing what the medics request for the ultimate...

Evidence that individuals may have exposed others on the ride to infection and wantonly put others at risk of infection. May not be a criminal offense, but I could imagine civil liability.
