    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Why would anyone go to Walmart 6 days in a row to pick up one item each day? Do you work there? Going forward unless you are over age 60 you’ll have to skip ‘Walmart rope drop’ on Tuesdays.

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    No way yet to find out who’s recovered - but they may be able to in the near future, they’re developing tests for antibodies which would show that you’ve had and recovered from COVID-19. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/03/new-blood-tests-antibodies-could-show-true-scale-coronavirus-pandemic...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    I focused my remarks on that particular poster’s circumstances given they said they were in a panic & losing sleep & as you point out, they aren’t as badly situated as some others. But yes, this economic crisis will hit some more heavily than others & it’s unfortunate. Looks like there may be...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Take a deep breath, no one will starve. Most mortgage companies are sending out emails to their customers offering to work with them, they don’t want to lose someone w/ a good history of paying if they can avoid it. Moreover, they can’t kick you out right away - just ask people who stopped...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Coronavirus-Gov-Newsom-tells-Californians-to-15125173.php CA Governor Newsom recommends gatherings of more than 250 people be canceled/postponed. I wonder if that impacts things at DL. Possibly not, France limited large gatherings and DL Paris is...

    Disney Skyliner shutdown and evacuation - October 6 2019

    Also prosecutors trying vehicular crimes prefer to use the terms collision or crash. Criminal defense attorneys, on the other hand, love calling them accidents.

    Disney Skyliner shutdown and evacuation - October 6 2019

    The Orlando Sentinal had a statement from Reedy Creek referencing LE providing mutual aid, since there was no reference to other FDs being deployed, I assume no other FDs deployed. I would hope that if this were a mid day summer incident and they were unable to clear the line that the resources...

    Disney Skyliner shutdown and evacuation - October 6 2019

    Yep, I’ll take a potty break before I get on in one of the convenient nearby restrooms, and I’ll bring a bottle of water & be sure my cell phone is fully charged. What I’m curious about is how long did it take to get the teal/blue problem gondola off the line and onto the side rail - it seems...

    Well, if they do that, how will I get to my dinner reservation at Topolino’s Terrace from the IG?

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    I don’t know about anyone else, but if when I ride these in early Jan. Orlando is in a cold snap, I plan to use my gloved hands to close those louvered ventilation vents while I huddle in my down jacket & hope I survive the 11 minute journey lol.

    News Disney Genie digital assistant app coming to Walt Disney World

    Hard for me to imagine those prices for a FP for one ride on top of park prices. Currently CA’s max pass is a $15 per day upcharge, DL Paris’ immediate skip the lines option appears to be $36+ per day upcharge. I just can’t see a family of 4 paying $200 - $800 on top of the price of their entry...

    Rumor New ride coming to Animal Kingdom. D23 announcement expected.

    Thx for giving me hope that I won’t have to wait forever to see some improvements over in Dinoland, although I must admit the post was mostly tongue in cheek & because I liked the phrase ‘banished to the bahamas,’ but...I’m easily amused.

    Rumor New ride coming to Animal Kingdom. D23 announcement expected.

    So, with Joe Rohde banished to the Bahamas, does this mean no big changes for AK until Lighthouse point is finished?

    Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom Walkway

    Applying logic here, if it were a future new resort adjoining the path, why build the path now? We haven’t even seen balloons suggesting a future resort have we? Thus no immediate need to provide access for a resort a couple of years away. So a new resort can’t be the driving force for building...

    Rumor Brazil (and maybe others) Pavilion Coming to Epcot [not about Brazilian people nor a country wish list]

    Unless I’m misremembering there will be no attraction, not E ticket, not mid-tier, nothing. I am not optimistic, lately disney’s designs have been lacking, IMO, so whether they can succeed in designing and building a ‘beautifully designed pavillion’ remains to be seen. I can almost guaranty...

    Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom Walkway

    Leaving MK at closing and getting back to the GF is unpleasant at best, all of the people heading to the TTC overwhelm the resort & express monorail lines & waiting for the boat can be as long as waiting for a bus & it’s not uncommon to have to wait for a second boat. So, despite a long day of...

    News Re-Usable Bag Price Increases

    News flash, here on the left coast nobody has changed the ‘way they live’ due to the measures taken to reduce waste caused by one time use plastic. Many of us live near the ocean here and know first hand the issues created by irresponsible human plastic waste. Indeed that’s probably why...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Ok, I’m just shocked at the lack of crowds. I’m 5-6 hours away & haven’t been to DL in years (I fly east to WDW once a year) and am tempted to head south just to enjoy the empty parks, but I am afraid that by the time I got there they’d be packed, lol.

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I think Disney expected to hit a home run with SWL/GE, & right now, judging by the lack of crowds, not only have they struck out, they managed to negatively impact overall DL attendance numbers. Regarding the sales of merchandise, it’s possible eBay resellers are scooping up merchandise. I’m a...

    News Re-Usable Bag Price Increases

    Not in California, WalMart bags are a dime apiece. It really didn’t take people very long to change their behavior after throwaway bags were ‘banned,’ everyone takes reusable bags w/ them when they shop here.
