    News Disney removing plastic straws and more by mid-2019

    Our local zoo used to have pasta straws. Much better than paper.

    News Disney removing plastic straws and more by mid-2019

    I’m surprised they haven’t had slip fall issues, they were all over filling and spilling behind the counter. I’m sure there must be more customer spills too. That kind of fine motor control makes my tremor worse. At one of the restaurants I couldn’t eat for half an hour waiting for my tremor to...

    News Disney removing plastic straws and more by mid-2019

    I thought this was already in effect - when I was there early March it was no straws and no lids. I have a hand tremor and it made getting our food through the crowds incredibly difficult.

    Rumor Disneyland Tomorrowland Future - What to do?

    It’s too bad they don’t put something on the peoplemover track, even if it’s not a ride. Futuristic “autonomous” pods moving on the track would at least give them a purpose.

    Should Disney make a donation for the rebuilding of the Notre Dame Cathedral?

    Note that the building is owned by France, not the Catholic Church.

    Which Hotel??

    We’re WDW vets (I’ve been every-other year my whole life, my wife since we started dating). We went to DL on a WDW off year which was also our ten year anniversary. As our first trip, and our anniversary, we splurged on the Grand. GC is amazing. It’s everything we love about WL and then some...

    Contemporary Permit

    Do they use large GCs for that? Seems an odd fit for H OAR. (Wow, they’re filtered) I’ve done a number of projects with them and they’re a great company. (With an unfortunate name) I keep hoping some day they replace the curtainwall at the ends of the concourse with something more...

    Rock n Coaster Queen revamp?

    If they ever replace Aerosmith it should be with Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem.

    Don't tell anyone I did this! And can it still be done now??

    Is there a bus to/from WL to TTC still? Tried going TTC to Fort Wilderness on our last trip (Monorail from Epcot) and found there wasn’t a bus. (At least according to the CM we asked - Ended up resort monorail > contemporary boat > FW)

    Just for fun.... You have the chance to work any job in WDW, what would you like to do??

    I interviewed with imagineering twenty years ago, so that. Or drive a friendship boat.

    Who's here right now?

    Sort of an existential question isn’t it? Are any of us really here? Aren’t we all here? ;) Just left WDW yesterday :( Great trip. Hot. We saw a ton of LSU gear, and on our last boat ride out someone asked an LSU family across from us about it. “It’s Mardi Gras - that’s when we all leave...

    Rumor Version of MaxPass coming to WDW in May?

    That’s not MaxPass either. You can only make MaxPass reservations the day of, and only while you are in the park. That’s the beauty of it.

    Except that’s not what Maxpass is.

    News Is Carousel of Progress getting a major refurb?

    I was on it Yesterday. “Laser discs” doesn’t bother me as much as “car phones” - Conceptually Grandpa calling a bluray a “Laser Disc” is (marginally) not out of character, a teenager referring to a mobile phone as a “car phone” is clearly dated - but not as much as the narrator (Rex Allen) on...

    Rumor Version of MaxPass coming to WDW in May?

    I love MP at DL. MP is so much better than FP+, as someone said it’s a return to the spontaneous days of the original FP. The only thing MP is missing (in DL) is magicbands - using the app is clunky and people just aren’t good at it. My parents, siblings, and I, including our families go to...

    Selecting Magic Bands and Early Check In

    I have a trip coming up. Maybe it should be obvious, but I don’t get the benefit of online check in - do you go right to your room? I like the idea of interacting with a human so I can ask for changes if I’m not happy with where we end up. Any pitfall to not checking in online?

    With Disneyland Paris announcing the closure date and re-theme of Rock N Roller Coaster, is WDW next?

    Just as newspapers have pre-written “In Memorium” articles (that get accidentally released from time to time) I’d be surprised if Disney didn’t have a retheme - or at least an alternate pre-show - in the can. When Tyler passes it would be kind of eerie to continue the current pre-show (less so...
