I've been once, for dinner I believe, buffet style? (I'm certain it wasn't breakfast, and if it wasn't a buffet then I don't remember what I got...) Characters come around quite a bit and one time Piglet led a group of kids around the restaurant in a conga-esque line (you're damn right I joined...

Tampa Bay Lightning and impressive in the same text post, what a rarity :P (Bruins!) Interested to know, other than private event

She never claimed she rides it, just that she fears being stuck on it. In that sense it's understandable, people have fears. But there are some exaggeraters out there

I give 'em some credit here and there. Article itself wasn't specific enough on where or how the ride lost power, just lightning and it stopped. You're probably right though. Someone saw lightning in the distance and the cart stopped moving, then the barrage of tweets, and possible calls/texts...

Thank God I'm no engineer or we'd all be dead :eek: Have been rare cases of coasters stopping mid loop though, although like previously mentioned, it's very rare due to gravity. But hey the planets align every few thousand years (don't quote me on that number ;))

None taken. By either of you. I just generally assumed the cart was struck. Shame on me. But yeah people overreact, that's why it's absolutely ridiculous and in a sense humorous.

Huh. Well I guess it's good preventative measure. The six flags theme park over this way got stopped with a technical error and stopped just short of going upside down. Had to pull riders out at a 90 degree angle. But that makes sense, disney seems to be up to bar with their standards so I can...

They weren't super clear on what was actually struck. Plus when people bring up the fact they they are going to DIE, I just assumed the train was struck.

Half kidding?? What's the 1/2 entail? :P My niece just has a frozen themed wedding and all major party-outlets are sold out. My suggestion? Try looking around your area for some lesser named stores that sells costumes, possibly party supplies. I live in Nashua, NH but deliver a mail route in...

Well if it was the beam then the cart didn't get struck, which means they probably didn't hear anything unless a breaker or something short circuited and/or exploded. And that's if they were in the vicinity. Imagine if they just went over the track and it was dead? It just stops and all of a...

Regardless, even if it was the beam, it still had an immediate effect and it caused an apparent panic. But here's where I can't even take it seriously. The beam gets struck, the monorail stops and someone tweets "I'm convinced I'm going to die". How?! You're literally traveling at 0mph, you...

Lots of people take lunch breaks, though if I can avoid them and maximize my time at the parks I do. Bus times are generally 15-30 minutes. Sometimes you'll show up at the bus stop and then the bus is waiting or pulling up and you get back to your resort quick, or sometimes they circle to...

When do the "I survived the Disney World Monorail Lightning Strike of 2014" shirts go out? :hilarious:

Your husband is a smart man ;) I haven't gotten an ice cream (at least outside of desert from restaurants, I got a trio of sherbet from somewhere..) at a cart or in the parks. Generally stick with water where I can and occasionally a soda, although I'll be running to a restroom shortly after...

Just think of the odds of being struck by lightning, the. The odds of being on a monorail in disney and have it be struck by lightning.

Basically. Honestly if I was traveling out of country, I'd be doing a lot of hiking and sight seeing of the areas that I'm traveling (like I did in Alaska although it's not out of country.) Hey the adventure is the journey (or something cliche like that), right? I'd rather spend half the...

Hey you know what? Stuff happens (editing my language for everyone :3) Get over it and call it a day. The people who complain and bash it are usually the ones who feel the world owes them for the slight inconvenience they encountered. Everyone was safe, correct? So no harm no foul.

Lacking some excitement in life, are we? :P

Yeah, sounds about right. Say $5.5K a person, about $1.3K (and that's cheap for a flight round trip two stops and international travel) a person. I'd be shocked if you didn't hit the $18-19K range. Because you know you'll stray from the itinerary, gratuities for dinner, hotels, other services...

Isn't this like a test though. With the cost to expand roads in this way, it just doesn't seem like it would be applicable within any of our lifetimes. It's still so unheard of that I don't think Disney would put it in.
