    Unsettling “security” checks.

    When I stayed in August I met our room checker who called to schedule a visit and all he did was walk in take a glance around and grabbed the trash. (Kidani Village.) No muss no fuss and certainly didn't check around all of our stuff while he was there. Nothing was disturbed other days as well...

    No outside food, strollers or scooters can be delivered to Disney Resorts?

    A Google Hangouts group chat works great for coordination large groups. Instant messages with a history and the ability to send pictures/ cell phone screen shots to the entire group. Go a step further and you can use Google Maps location sharing with every one for the 9 days and then see roughly...

    No outside food, strollers or scooters can be delivered to Disney Resorts?

    I find it hard to believe that canceling days in advance is a hard thing to do to switch vendors for a ECV rental. We do have these things called Cell phones to call and coordinate a ECV delivery if your ETA differs from your original plan. You lose maybe a 1/2 hour to an hour sticking around...

    No outside food, strollers or scooters can be delivered to Disney Resorts?

    Gonna have to be explicit here I can see... ScooterBug will be the preferred vendor for ECV/Stroller rentals if you want Guest Services to handle the delivery and returns for you. https://www.orlandoparksnews.com/2019/09/scooterbug-becomes-walt-disney-worlds.html?m=1 Link to Scooterbug for...

    Trip Report Janir's Winning at marriage squad goals WDW vacation AAR

    Sorry for no updates recently but I just got whacked by layoff and have been a bit pre-occupied since Friday morning. I should get back to this in a day or 2 once I get the immediate post layoff things in place in life so I can find a new job.

    Bob Iger out as Board Member of Apple

    As a board member he'd at least get some insight into Apple's streaming plans so it also paid for him to stick around as long as he could manage it before conflict of interest became a problem for him to deal with.

    Animal Kingdom day! Our first time in Pandora Last trip to the 'world we saw the blocked off walls to Pandora (kinda like the walls blocking Batuu in DHS this trip) We made a beeline for Pandora and found a PP right under the falls. Ok, we gotta stop and get a picture here. :) I liked the magic...

    EPCOT continued After leaving World Showcase we stopped to say hi to the Phoenicians and friends before our Nemo FP. Too dark for good pictures in SSE but it was cool to see it once last time before refurb, round 5?? IDK, lost count. But I got a nice view of the entire SSE on the way to Nemo...

    Wake up int he morning to animals feeding in the backyard. Not a ton this morning but it was cool to see. EPCOT day 1. This was a advanced planned EPCOT day with FPs. Our first being Frozen. We liked Maelstrom back in its day but Frozen is a fun dark water ride for us. The roof top areas of...

    Trip Report The Tuvalu Chronicles ~ Chapter 25 *COMPLETED*

    Too late. And for the record even if you have NO hair I prefer a shower head with some velocity to it. Mostly to make up for the lack of volume of water.

    A Tale of Booze in Batuu

    True but it's also easy for them to do, and has a direct $$ effect on the bottom line.

    Disneyland Railroad Breaks Down, Sends Us A Sign In Front Of Star Wars Land

    NDT work for something like rail wheels would require Xrays to magnetic particle inspection and some ultrasound done by the wheel casting company but in thicker sections this gets harder to do. Doing it outside of the casting company is definitely not something most companies are capable of and...

    Disneyland Railroad Breaks Down, Sends Us A Sign In Front Of Star Wars Land

    Ever seen an older full coal car ( as in coal to a power plant) with a broken axle right at the hub? Not a pretty sight when the coal car is loaded and one axle breaks and the enighbor axle is so overloaded that it breaks as well and the cars are now jammed up and hard to disconnect just to get...

    I tell ya its a near vacation time stress reliever. I used to make lists, then I'd misplace the list or I couldn't find the item on the list that I needed and had to improvise or something. Now the important stuff is always int he box and all I have to do is sort the box and the items in it...

    Lyft/Uber dropoff near International Gateway at EPCOT?

    Boardwalk or Beach Club. Will only need the lyft if we're coming from CCV, which is the plan at this time to go back to the room, relax a short bit, chance and then head to dinner. Original plan was to spend the day at EPCOT, head back and change etc, but grazing around food booths at Flower and...

    SeaWorld laid off 100 call center employees

    Right or wrong, I won't say except it usually turns out very bad for everyone involved except for the VP/c-level exec that made it, and the company that got the gig. The Employees certainly don't but sadly that's life. :( The company never makes out as well as they think they are going to, at...

    I am exactly 60 days out today....

    I was able to get 7DMT, but could not get FoP nor SDD on my 60 day mark last month's trip. Disney has overbooked their resort vs FP inventory. They just plain need more attractions at this point. They SHOULD have been planning attractions in relation to resort capacity. Why Chepak doesn't get...

    Can anyone tell me what Raglan Road is like on St Patrick's day?

    Thanks! Might just skip it. It used to be years ago I could go into a Irish bar and get a few free drinks on my birthday and have some fun meeting strangers all out to have some fun, but as I get older I just don't drink as much. That kind of drinking crowd isn't look very appealing for me...
