Just walking by the store, there is no denying a very heavy cigar scent outside. Personally, I’m very sensitive to the smell and always try to avoid passing by there.

What's your point? I have no issue with them running races.

Interesting takes here. As someone who has participated in many road races over the past decade, it's a mixed bag. First off, Disney cutting this to a half-day ticket truly is an insult and exemplifies everything about where this corporation is today. As for the volunteer aspect, I agree with...

Lol. Michael wants this thing back on track with his 14+ million shares of stock vested in that share price.

You have that right. We have a very close friend who is visiting with us right now during the holiday week and they work for CNN. To say it’s a dumpster fire under Licht and Zaslav is an understatement.

That’s the worst. We’ve owned EVs for almost nine years and the etiquette or lack there of is getting much worse with greater adoption. I’m thrilled to see all the EVs, but wish people wouldn’t be rude. Our first EV was a Ford Focus Electric with a 72 mile range, so we really were in need of...

That made me laugh, but you know as we’ve been in here a long time, a bizarre discussion is needed from time to time. 😂 True, yet I can vouch for how overused the term has become at the parks. It’s incredibly forced and my 12 year old constantly has something snarky to say about it. My English...

Living in Orlando, the labor and Covid excuses are at this point just that—excuses. Universal’s property looks outstanding and clean and things are pretty decent over at SeaWorld as well. Case in point of declining standards: We were at the Haunted Mansion last week and look over the outer...

You're so right.

We're local and visit the parks weekly. Hardly a time passes where we don't t see vloggers in the parks. Some of them are absolutely obnoxious vlogging without a care as it pertains to where they are walking, how loud they are, how they act like they own the place, etc. We were walking from the...

Part of the oversimplification is that people default to Florida being a bunch of retirees, but there are many areas of the state where there are booming populations with families versus snow birds, etc. What Florida does not do, which several others states do, is reduce property taxes based on...

Oh yes, I know. I’m a political strategist. Lol. Seriously though, this is what governance looks like when it’s solely based upon feeding red meat to a base for both statewide and national ambitions. As someone who studied Florida government in my undergrad, it’s really quite striking how fast...

That's not the case. Revenues are very strong in the state due to our huge tourism base feeding sales tax revenue, which more than offsets a state income tax, paired with mid-range (in terms of overall states) property tax rate assessments, etc. It has nothing to do with revenues rather where...

As a parent of a child in FL public schools, we've already been losing too many terrific teachers due to low pay, low morale (for many obivous reasons), etc. The last thing we need is a further exodus. A serious question that I have due to this ridiculous piece of legislation, is how far do...

I agree. Epic Universe (along with the additional entertainment district and hotels) really has the chance to be pivot point for many to Universal from Disney. Non-locals might not know that Universal will be building a significant residential community for their team members as well, which will...

Another local here and I can vouch for seeing this as well.

And there are many areas of the metro that are high income, high paying jobs that have nothing to do with the service sector. Some might be shocked to know that real people live in communities that have no connection to the tourism industry here. Metro Orlando isn’t the Orlando of 20 years ago...

I really enjoy when he spotlights his childhood love of EPCOT all the while he and his cohorts bludgeon any semblance to it. The disingenuous spin about the redo being based on the roots of EPCOT, whatever.

Well, we just test drove the Y today and.... sold. Lol. Wow. I was impressed to say the least. As a long time EV owner, I love that it feels like an electric versus the Mach-E, which felt like an ICE. I think that Ford has the right idea in making the car feel familiar to drivers instead of the...

How has the build quality been with your Y? We're test driving one tomorrow. We had a deposit down on the 3 a year and a half ago and then pulled it concerned about quality control issues. Yesterday, we test drove a Mach-E and the vehicle is absolutely outstanding. Wonderful materials and...
