    Fish and chips @ Epcot

    I have heard that it varies on market conditions and what is available. The type of fish used may vary day to day, including Cod, haddock, hake, tilapia, and catfish. Cod and haddock are traditional, but cod is getting scarce and expensive. Hake is first cousin to Cod or Haddock. Tilapia is...

    ‘Ohana - What am I missing?

    Pedantic call out. It is not an Irish restaurant - O'Hana It is 'Ohana, as in Family.

    Best Restaurant in DS?

    Again, best is subjective. Very subjective. Especially where some places lack in food but have good atmosphere, as well as the other way around. For me: Boathouse Second Place: Homecomin' with the caveat that it is hardly fine dining. It is good food, really good, but hardly a fine dining...

    ‘Ohana - What am I missing?

    I think that is it. It has been on a slide for a while now. It is starting to really loose the cache it used to have with people. We are in the same mindset as you. It used to be something we actively tried to book. It is no longer even an option for us.

    Private sale?

    Ah, I see A Title Company does what I said - Research of clear title and title insurance. (I know a few title agents, one of whom owned her own agency). DVC Title and Escrow is more than a Title agency despite what they may have in there name. They do a lot more than an regular title agency...

    Private sale?

    Yeah, That was kind of tongue in cheek. The other issue with doing what I said is you expose yourself to capital gains taxes. I agree with your assessment. See if DVC will do a transfer. If not, then do an actual sale.

    is there a chance that the Magical Express will come back?

    I had no idea it was that early. I just remember that when I was a kid in the 70's none of the cars we had, had seatbelts. Likely because we had used cars for quite some time. The ones that did have them were lap belt only, especially in the back seats.

    It's 8 years OR 5 foot. Not AND

    is there a chance that the Magical Express will come back?

    When WDW first opened, cars did not have seat belts, let alone car seats. That is how they did it.

    is there a chance that the Magical Express will come back?

    This. For me it is not even a parents thing (my kids are all older now). It is me. I kind of like the anonymity that goes with bus service. I say hi to the driver and that's it. I have had my share of Uber drivers that just won't stop with the talking. Some were also a little sketchy. I...

    Dopey Steals Snow White's Arm

    Maintenance is scaleable. If I have 10 attractions and need 5 full time people to perform maintenance on them, I can go to 15 attractions with 8 people (or in my world, 7.5 resources) and have the same level of maintenance (provided all other things are equal). It is not all 8 people working on...

    Private sale?

    I title company offers title insurance, based on a title search. They look at the title of the property, do an investigation to ensure that there are no liens or other encumbrances against the property, and then provide insurance to that effect (in other works, guaranteeing their research)...

    is there a chance that the Magical Express will come back?

    I for one would also welcome the return of DME, or more specifically the return of luggage service and RAC. I don't need it to be free, I was fine with the Mears Express last time I went. Yeah, collecting and checking my own luggage is not THAT big a hassle but I did really like that service...

    EXPENSIVE, CROWDED AND IS A BETTER THOUGHT THAN AN ADVENTURE

    I would add one other end result to your analysis (which I agree with 100%). I still enjoy going, I overlook these things when I am there, but (and here is what I am adding) I no longer go as much as I used to and I spend nowhere near the amount of money on things other than park tickets than I...

    Complete - Trip Report - Our 1st Princess Cruise!

    We often cruise with an other couple on Celebrity and our wives do not understand why "midnight pizza" is a thing for me and my friend. It really is not that good. What I do find interesting is the selection. Celebrity seems to have 3 pizzas at night - cheese, pepperoni, and a leftover from...

    What Is Your WDW Resort History?

    I have no idea how many times I have been to WDW, let alone where I stayed. I do know a few of the "low count" ones. Pop - 3X PO - Riverside - 1X PO - FQ - 1X Riviera - 1X Treehouses - 1X (I guess technically this is SSR) Then it gets hazy Old Key West Saratoga Springs Beach Club Boardwalk...

    The Future of Dinosaur - You Decide...

    This ride does nothing for me. Neither the story, the theme, nor the ride mechanics itself. The story makes no sense. If you can send me back in time, why can't you send me back a week before the asteroid hits? Also, why does my time rover need to have forward motion to engage the temporal...

    Don't forget the real cannonballs they took out on Pirates.

    Breakfast All Day?

    I have known a few - both current and retired. All of whom were very nice and easygoing people out of uniform. In uniform it is a different story. That is actually part of their credo or training or motto or whatever they call it. There is a certain way a trooper is supposed to act. It does...

    Hey Disney

    Yeah, I just looked a bit more. It's just an Alexa skill. Really nothing special, there are dozens (if not more) "Hey whatever" type skills for Alexa. If it scares you, either mute it, or as others have said, unplug it.
