    It looks like they have now changed the FAQ on the website The actual contractual language is as follows (From time to time seems pretty vague to me) Bonus Points on One-Time-Use Vacation Points Purchases: From time to time, Members enrolled in the Optional Benefit Program, will receive a...

    The FAQ makes it seem not as if it is a two for the price of one, but rather, buy one at the regular price and then have the option to buy an other at the regular price. long with the option to buy one bonus One-Time-Use Point for each One-Time-Use Point purchased, effectively doubling the...

    Hurricane Milton coming to FL

    It is also expensive and takes quite a bit of construction and permitting. I used to have the subsurface construction group for Verizon for all of NJ at one time. I had 6 general heavy construction contracts bid across the State. Burying telecommunication facilities is not a quick, cheap, or...

    Hurricane Milton coming to FL

    Underground lines are not as simple as just burying power lines. They have to be totally redesigned because of heat dissipation. Also, while they may not get damaged as often, when they do get damaged, they take a LONG time to repair.

    Hurricane Milton coming to FL

    This is the first time they ever flooded like this. There are pros and cons to having them. My brother finally put on in. He is in a lower lying area. And while his basement has sump pumps, he really does not flood. However the sanitary sewers back up into his basement when other parts of the...

    Hurricane Milton coming to FL

    I was a 9 y/o when hurricane David came though NJ. It flooded the golf course near my parents house. My friends an I went wading around in the 2 - 3 foot deep water after it passed. Yeah, lots of not so bright things as a kid.

    Hurricane Milton coming to FL

    I work with somebody whos' mother lives on Bayshore Blvd. He just got back from helping her recover from Helene. According to him, during the flooding the city turns off the pumps for the sanitary (i.e toilets) sewer system to protect the sewage plants. His mother had 2' of water in her house...

    Disney/Raglan Road Sued Over Food Allergy Death

    My experience with that (or at least my wife's experience) is that if you say it that way, then sometimes it does not get taken seriously. If she says "I do not like mushrooms" sometimes she gets mushrooms because they are part of the preparation but are so broken down that they kitchen thinks...

    Why Did You Sell?

    I have said this a number of times on these forums. Years ago, when I had less disposable income, I enjoyed WDW a LOT more. It was a bigger chunk of my budget, but I felt it was worth it. There was value there. Now, I can well afford a trip to WDW, but I tend to now look at it as not worth...

    Why Did You Sell?

    Time will tell for us. Kid #1 - Has her own condo, has all the expenses associated with that. Kid #2 - Shares a house with her boyfriend, has all the expenses associated with that. Kid #3 - Just started college (800+ miles away), has all of the schedule issues associated with that. Kid #1 has...

    Disney/Raglan Road Sued Over Food Allergy Death

    That is the thing, for my wife it does not matter. She can have a "little" bit of mushroom. It is when there are significant quantities of mushrooms in the dish, or if, for example, the chef is using mushroom powder to add umami (we encountered this in a restaurant last week - the short ribs...

    Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs coming to Disney's BoardWalk at Walt Disney World

    The Costco food court is a bit of a legend. They have always had low cost food there (pizza, hot dog, chicken bakes, etc) But the $1.50 hot dog and soda combo is the stuff of legend. It has been that price for 35 years. The rule in Costco has always been that only members (people who pay the...

    Disney/Raglan Road Sued Over Food Allergy Death

    I'm not a lawyer but I think you are correct. One is because of willful neglect and the other is premeditated.

    Disney/Raglan Road Sued Over Food Allergy Death

    There is a difference between ignoring a allergy request and intentionally ignoring one because you want to cause harm to the person. I know that it does happen that sometimes people use "allergic" to mean they don't like something. To a kitchen, that is a issue. If somebody has an allergy...

    Arbitration clauses like that are often not worth the (electronic) paper they are printed on.

    "Beef" - If I had to guess, maybe medallions of overdone tenderloin. (Or maybe hamburger, who knows)

    WDW Food Pictures Of The Day Part II

    That was my first reaction - why are they serving shell on shrimp. Especially ones that are served hot and with some sort of sauce.
