    Resort Airline Check In Service testing a return

    Bingo. We have a winner. From the article: MCO is desperate to get bags out of the main building (A & B) and into a remote facility for inspection. (This explains why Southwest) They are willing to pay $6.75 a bag, $25M a year to a company doing this. Industry experts say that this is...

    Probably the virtual server hosting the site crashed and had to be restarted.

    MK Frontierland Shootin' arcade to close and replaced with DVC Member lounge

    But at least Cracker Barrel has tables and chairs that fit the theme. Those chairs that have a stubby back look very uncomfortable. I could see someone leaning back, used to having a full back to the chair and keep on going backwards.... Has Legal inspected this setup yet? This is lawsuits...

    Southwest Airlines check in

    We used it in December. It worked really well. The lines were very short. It's location is to the right of the main Southwest check-in area on the other side of the entrance way to security. Location 10 on the map below.

    Looks like Strasburg is hiring. This employment ad is in the current Trains magazine. I wonder how this will effect the overhaul timeline?

    For your orientating pleasure. I wonder if this is them getting a head start on building another bus stop at each park for the new DVC Lakeside resort?

    MK Stitch's Great Escape Replacement— Don’t Hold Your Breath

    You sure about that? Most of the hotel refreshes look like they were standard items out of a standard interior design catalog, not custom created items. For instance, those "custom created" wardrobe cabinets at the Contemporary with the Incredibles stickers in them. I am dreading the upcoming...

    MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    We all know that Disney records the data on ride downtimes so its weird that they are asking if you experienced any on your ride on this survey. Conspiracy theory: Someone is hiding how bad the ride is doing from higher ups and the higher ups are suspicious so they are trying to get the real...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    I'm wondering if they're not meeting their quota of gullible Disney hotel staying guests purchasing this and have opened it up to non-disney hotels to fill the gap of gullible people.

    MK Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    That accident was due to operator error in not calculating the wind load on the item it was lifting at the time, 450 tons. The winds were just within tolerances for the crane itself. Wind speeds were between 20 and 21 miles per hour (32 and 34 km/h), with gusts of up to 26 to 27 miles per hour...

    MK Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    Looks like it's fully assembled. The assembly crane is still there though. It didn't look like they had all of the counterweights attached yet though.

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    I think this all depends upon how long it has been since maintenance has last cleaned the dust off of that scrim. With it being horizontal, it has to collect a lot of dust which effects your view/clarity of what's above it. I know what's above it but when I went on the ride in October, I would...

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    The old fountain was not show ready for years. But Disney didn't care.

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    The fountain was running pretty ragged the last 5 years. There was unequal pressure among the nozzles causing different height, water sprays. Some nozzles just dribbled out water during the show or just continuously. Some of the nozzles were misaligned causing the spray to go in the wrong...
