    A Spirited 15 Rounds ...

    Not even that, really. I mean they did, but JoePa actually did exactly what he was supposed to do for a non-witness, per rules that are still on the books. He reported it to his bosses so they could proceed. The bosses got time for messing up. But they were far from the only ones to mess up...

    Why does it take so long to complete a Disney project

    I don't know the budgets, so I can't speak to that with any accuracy. But I'll ask this: A fortune compared to what? Itself? Universal? There aren't many peers to compare them too and the projects do tend to be rather unique. For this specific project, sure you have the ride in Paris to...

    Why does it take so long to complete a Disney project

    Some good responses in this thread, and many of them may be very accurate, but I prefer a much simpler response. You can have a project with high quality, a project that is built quickly, or a project that's built inexpensively. Choose 2.

    TSA Candy Snack Check.

    Went through TSA Pre on 9/17 at about 5pm. No swabbing or dumping of candy. And side note, I cannot stand rules that are made up out of thin air. Makes going through security absolute hell.

    Hurricane Irma

    Yes, but you have 2 types. Schedule 80 PVC with joints that always seem to leak water no matter how good you glue it, and fused HDPE which is usually more expensive to buy and install. I work in DE, another area with a high water table. You make sure you're standing back when they blow the...

    Hurricane Irma

    No clue, I'm in Delaware and my family that lives down there is currently in PA. They are anxious to go and see how their house weathered the storm. They aren't getting much news, but the Key Deer vid really cheered them up. Every little bit is a help

    Hurricane Irma

    Nice seeing this. Family has a place on Conch Key (mile 62) supposedly all but one house is intact on the Gulf side.

    Hurricane Irma

    Those buildings are almost certainly on deep pile/drilled shafts. The bigger question is if they designed to resist uplift in addition to the traditional vertical load of the building. Obviously the lateral force of a 185MPH wind on a 20 story building is significant. That said, the...

    Yachtsman Steakhouse

    Just a question, not necessarily aimed only at you, but I've noticed many on this site refer others to allears for menus. I've been using the menus here on wdwmagic for my last several trips and haven't had any issue. Is there a reason you don't use this site for the menus?

    Rental Car Drop Off

    The Dolphin in the Epcot resort area also has an Alamo/National Car Rental. You can use Disney buses, boats or even walk to the parks from there. I'm not sure if the Alamo Rental center by MK has any transportation.

    What will you call Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge during everyday speech?

    Jar-Jar Land? 4-6>1-3 Land? Leave-my-movies-alone Land? CGI-Land? Galaxy's Edge, The Special Edition?

    Boardwalk Resort

    Maybe 10 minutes at the start of the trip. Day 9 or 10 I'm taking my time. ;)

    Boardwalk Resort

    Walking is usually faster to Epcot, unless the boat happens to be right there as you start. It's maybe a 30 minute walk to HS, which we usually take. Sometimes we use the Dolphin dock for taking the boat to and from HS. AK and MK aren't bad rides at all. Don't forget on your return that you...

    Tower of Terror less impressive/"effective" in the morning?

    The ride itself is nicer during the day for the quick view you get of the park while at the top. I think the approach to the ride and walking through the queue is better thematically at dusk or dark. I wouldn't change your morning plans, just try to ride it at night too. Take your time and...

    Should we purchase magic bands?

    The Magic Bands do have two advantages over the standard rfid ticket card. The Magic Band will work with the ride photo pass and automatically link the pics to your account. With the card you will need to tap it at the appropriate photo at the end of the ride. I believe the Magic Bands are...

    Disney Honeymoon

    I'll second lots of other comments above. If you plan on a romantic honeymoon I think Port Orleans is a much better option in the Moderate category, if you plan on only sleeping All Star is fine. We actually rented DVC points and stayed at Boardwalk for our honeymoon like someone mentioned...
