Could you be referring to the area right where you board the elevators? There are boxes that I presume are intended to be the motors for the elevators. The boxes hum and there are steel cables going into the boxes that move intermittently in alternating directions, corresponding to an...

I'm currently in FL, but before that I was in Hamilton (near Trenton), Belmar, and Wall (where my dad still lives). Also spent six years going to college and grad school in Hoboken.

I was thinking the same thing. She's actually quite lifelike (much more so than the witch on Snow White), she does interact with the cast member, and she really is the "wicked witch".

AAA is a good resource. The mapping tool on their web site is a bit more clunky than Google Maps, and more frustrating to use, but it also has some really nice information that Google doesn't have - specifically gas prices, and road construction information. Also, there are situations where...

That would be my recommendation based on experience. Of course it's all anecdotal. I've made the trip something like 15+ times over the past 13 years or so, but almost all of them have been the at the holidays. Patterns could be completely different at other times of the year. Something...

Not FL water, or even Orlando water, just WDW water. They have their own water system there, and based on the smell and taste, they seem to purify it with some kind of Sulfur compound rather than Chlorine or Florine. You can taste it even in the fountain sodas. It bothers some people more...

The wife and I do the FL to NJ and back route at least once a year for the last roughly 13 years. The best traffic tip I can offer (and I know it's a hard sell) is to drive at night. We used to travel on roughly the schedule you're talking about, usually shooting for a 4:30-5 AM departure...

Or they were lying... That's for sure. I remember the trip in question, my wife was flying home from Newark and had gotten a message on her voice mail saying that her departure from EWR had been moved to JFK. They said that transportation would be provided from EWR to JFK, but by the time...

Another thought - it's not like what's going on with the budget is a big secret, and Disney is known to be supportive of our fine folks in uniform like yourself. Might be worth a phone call to see what they'll do for you. I can't imagine them telling you to take a hike over $200, and who know...

Perhaps an oversimplification on my part, but what I said is consistent with what JetBlue has told me in the past when I've complained about delays and cancellations. And a very low fare airline looking to start up here in Melbourne had to pull the plug at the last minute because they had...

From Disney property to Jetty Park in Port Canaveral, which is my favorite viewing location, is around a 90 minute drive, maybe a little less, under ordinary circumstances. But traffic is always heavy, getting worse the closer you get to the port, when there's a launch. And with the program...

While this is true, the good news for the OP is that JetBlue is the sole (as far as I know) exception. They still offer free beverage and snack service - at least they did a couple of month ago last time I flew them.

Keep your options open (IE don't do anything irrevocable) until you know for sure what's going to happen. A lot of things are being said right now, and most of them aren't true. Even if there is a government shutdown, it's very unlikely that military payrolls will be affected.

All good info, which I'll just supplement a little bit. First, Orlando International Airport (code MCO) has a website here: http://www.orlandoairports.net/ Lots of good information, including terminal maps. As GOTSAMMIES said, there are two terminals, A and B. JetBlue is in terminal A...

Unless, of course, there's an emergency...

This is a point of some confusion for me. I've only stayed on property once, and I did the online check-in, so I don't know what the alternative is like. Your description accurately describes my experience with online check-in. But it just as accurately describes the "normal" check-in process...

I guess the key words are "depending on crowds". I did this at Pop in December (during the one-week slow period at the beginning of the month) and didn't see much of a difference. The people in my line seemed to take just as long as the people in the regular line. And while my line was...

I pretty much loathe flying. But if I have to fly, JetBlue is my absolute favorite. Definitely bring your own headset as others have said. JetBlue offers free DirectTV and Sirius at every seat, but only if you have (or buy) a headset. Not checking any bags is a good tip if you can swing it...

I got my first look at the baby care centers in December when my sister and family, including my then 8-month old nephew, came down for a week. I (obviously) don't know about the nursing area, but the rest of the center (at least the one in Epcot) was surprisingly nice.

What we were told on the tour is that backstage is just that - backstage. The prospect of seeing, for example, Mickey with his head off is why they restrict the tour to age 16+.
