    News All Disney Springs water taxies now closed due to low water levels

    I thought that buses didn't run from disney springs to the parks to prevent people from from getting free parking.

    Shame they couldn't have saved and transplanted that tree.

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    Probably to keep the rain out. They may be installing stuff in those rooms that might be damaged by rain, like electrical.

    News All Disney Springs water taxies now closed due to low water levels

    This from Google maps shows you the path. Basically start at the dam next to bld 55 and follow the signs. Some of the paths shown on the map are for golfers only. The path basically follows along the canal. The ones running alongside of the the fairways are for golfers only. Beware of the...

    News All Disney Springs water taxies now closed due to low water levels

    By all means. This dam and its upkeep are all on them. I wonder if they are responsible for the erosion control fabric lining the canals too? Boring mundane stuff, but important stuff that needs to be repaired.

    Here is a picture of the dam. That is building 55 in the upper left. The triangular shape structure is the emergency high water spill way.

    News All Disney Springs water taxies now closed due to low water levels

    I would be interesting in a look see at that dam spillway gate. The last time I saw it, it was before Covid, it was leaking badly. It looked like algae and plant growth had worked their way between the dam gate and the concrete and were pushing the dam gate up and letting a lot of water leak...

    News All Disney Springs water taxies now closed due to low water levels

    Thanks for the info. I will speculate that it might be more of a boat passing issue in the canals. Your right, you can see the ground sloping down from the edge underwater. The canal must be more of V shape that probably has filled in some over time from runoff and is now more a U shape. It...

    News All Disney Springs water taxies now closed due to low water levels

    The water level in that area is controlled by a dam next to Building 55 in the OKW resort. Our favorite building in OKW. We have stayed there in past droughts and they had a portable pump pumping water from the downstream side of the drainage canal dam up and over the dam to add water to the...

    News V.I.PASSHOLDER Days Coming in June at Walt Disney World

    Someone is going to get in trouble. That table of water, potted plants and recharging lockers are blocking the back exit of the seating area. The exit that leads directly to the EMERGENCY EXIT. Definitely a violation of fire codes.

    The buildings in red do not have rooms facing that direction. They only have rooms facing the savannah. You can see in the photo that the building are only 1/2 as wide. As if Disney knew....

    Computer Crashes for 30 Minutes, Chaos Ensues at Disneyland Main Entrance?

    It sounds like someone had to give the old IT three finger salute. 30 minutes to get to the box, salute it, boot back up sounds about right. Or they may have had to do the ultimate, press the button and hold in for 5 seconds.

    I wife has a saying, "There is always a bus to the lodge" when we are leaving the park. If not, the wait is very short.

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    The problem is that traffic congestion is causing cast to be late for work. Resort busses are being caught in the backups and all the CP busses coming from Flamingo crossing are caught in the traffic jam making them late for work. Time is money.

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    You missed my point on how using averages is misleading. You can still have extremes. Also, you don't understand how accountants/lawyers/doctor pay works.... They and a lot of other high paying professions pay like crap (for the profession, but we wouldn't call it a crap amount) when they get...

    Hmmm. So the important ones were posted well after the meetings. Doesn't let the sunshine shine into those documents too well. Held back deliberately? or RCID signed first and then Disney had too. Interesting that it was just the agenda's, which usually don't say much until the 1-25...
