    From the OS: Gator drags child into Seven Seas Lagoon

    I should have know I could count on you to misinterpret what I'm saying, since you've demonstrated little understanding of the law in other threads. The bird stealing a french fry? No. There's no value to a French fry. The paperwork filing would cost more than the entire lunch. Plus Disney would...

    From the OS: Gator drags child into Seven Seas Lagoon

    When you are on their property, they have a legal obligation to keep you safe. You are definitely wrongly assigning blame to the parents, and I am personally repulsed by it. The MAN-MADE beach at the Grand Floridian is NOT the "natural habitat of a predator". So what? Like you said, you...

    From the OS: Gator drags child into Seven Seas Lagoon

    I tried to make it through this thread before commenting, but couldn't get any further. The continued defense by people of a multi-billion dollar company and demonization of a family that simply dared to be human started to get to me. Thankfully, your opinion doesn't matter. Disney is legally...

    Orlando Gunman Scouted WDW ...

    As a few people have mentioned, it is not a crime to fail to report a crime or knowledge of a crime. There are some exceptions, but they are very specific (such as an obligation to one's employer, or suspected child abuse; doctors and lawyers are required to report knowledge of a crime about to...

    (VIDEO) Gaining easier access to UNIVERSAL & IOA

    I doubt you'd save much, if any, time doing this. And I found Universal to be surprisingly efficient with the metal detectors.

    Orlando shootings and the parks

    I had actually been thinking about that since my first trip to Disneyland withe the metal detectors. Normally when I've gone the lines were almost non-existent so I didn't think much about it. But my last trip had the line reach the bus drop-off and I thought to myself how much easier it would...

    Orlando shootings and the parks

    What makes you think this keeps people safe? If anything, the pre-security crowds are a much easier target.

    WDW to Raise All Buffet Prices By Almost 50%?

    The problem right now is that enough people are coming to make-up for the people who stop going. Lot's of first time visitors are making up for the repeat guests who have stopped coming. Price increases are significant enough to the point that it makes up the difference between those who spend...

    WDW to Raise All Buffet Prices By Almost 50%?

    I think this is true. While members of the 1% no doubt go to Disney, it's not the vacation destination for them that Disney tries to market it as. I would venture to guess that most 1%-ers who go to Disney do it as a weekend-type trip as opposed to a full-on vacation. They go to Europe or other...

    Disney employee stole $112K from restaurant register, deputies say

    I'm not sure how people think this type of theft would be caught simply by the POS system. She was stealing by "issuing refunds" so she didn't need to "cook the books" to make the numbers match (in other words, she doesn't have to account for a missing $100 because it was written-off as a...

    Slow times at Universal?

    Crowds and crowd patterns are very inconsistent. Wait times can change drastically throughout the day. If you don't get an Express Pass, then I would strongly encourage arriving at park opening. Enjoy everything else first and end with Harry Potter. You will be able to get on everything with...

    Three Broomsticks or Leaky Cauldron?

    This. I think both offer the same breakfast (mostly), but lunch/dinner options are different.

    Skull Island: Reign of Kong from construction to opening

    Isn't that the point of a soft opening (or as Universal calls them, "technical rehearsal")?

    Is the Express Pass Worth it?

    I've noticed this to be a problem with express pass. For one, I think they sell too many. If too many people choose to visit an attraction at the same time, it could drive up the wait longer than the standby line. Also, they don't seem to adjust the distribution of riders for Express Pass and...

    1st trip. Help please!

    One thing to keep in mind is that on very crowded days, even Express Pass users can experience long waits. For example, don't be surprised to see The Mummy with a 90 minute standby wait and a 45 minute express pass wait.

    First DLP trip planning...

    I went in September last year. While it was on the cool side, I thought it was perfect weather for spending so much time outdoors (only needed a light jacket). If at all possible, visit on a weekday. I went on a Sunday and on a Tuesday. While the park didn't "feel" crowded on Sunday, wait times...

    Last Minute, Quick Trip Questions

    I had to go to Irvine for work a few years ago, and by coincindence bought an AP the day before the massive price increases. I went quite often after work (the park was open to midnight) and I don't recall it ever taking more than 20 minutes (parking was included in the AP at the time)...

    I Received Disney Mail Today

    Another thing to keep in mind: the FP machines are not turned on until the park officially opens for the day, so FPs will be unavailable during Magic Mornings. Another thing to note is that Disneyland is very much a locals' park, and it will get more crowded in the early afternoon and early...

    A Spirited Dirty Dozen ...

    I just want to point out that this picture is from the current cheaply-produced non-Equity tour and NOT the Broadway production or original Disney-produced tours (not that these costumes are any worse than the originals). But your point is taken!
