Met Ron last night. He's still in the area, starring in a Disney-related independent film, "The Further Adventures of Walt's Frozen Head."

Can still use Ghost Rider. Man-Thing. Probably Cloak & Dagger. Power Pack (except Franklin Richards). Maybe Blade. I kid, mostly, but a well-done Power Pack movie would actually have theme park potential.

Tiffins/Nomad underperforming so much that staff are scrambling to get their old jobs back. More anecdotally, rode nighttime safari back to back a week and a half ago. Neither train had a dozen guests. CMs said this was largely the norm. Given that I've heard nothing good about Jungle Book...

Had my college roommate--father of 5-year-old twins, well-off, roughly bi-annual WDW visitor from NJ, i.e. target WDW guest--blow up my phone last week. Absolutely livid WDW tried to get him to rent a paddleboat on an alligator-infested lagoon. Like it or not, this story hit a nerve with the...

Both actually.

Saw on Twitter it has been removed.

Agree with you on this issue 100%--convinced the feeding from the bungalows was a contributing factor, just based on the timing. W.r.t. management--it's because you have 23-year-olds managing a "4-star" resort. They're petrified of not making their margins and having to leave their happy place...

We have a real world example. Universal had a system virtually identical to legacy FastPass up until around 2004- 2005. Then one Sunday, they turned off the machines, ending the program.* Lines went down. And they've stayed down--even with an increase in guest numbers driven by Potter, the...

Unconfirmed, but I've heard NBCU quietly offered to pay travel expenses for family of TMs killed or injured in the attack. A class act. Meanwhile as of this hour, outside a statement from the CEO, no public comment from WDW. The best analogy I can think of is when the AFL cancelled games...

I still maintain the Jr. Exec who pushes food-less upcharge character meet & greets--Disney Springs would be ideal for this--will be fast-tracked for CEO. Character photos are the #1 priority for parents.

TBH, I think WDW "feels" bigger. It's definitely a lounge, not a bar tho. Met up with a former bartender (drinking, not working) in Nomad's who uh-huhed my theory: putting in only 6 barstools means quality bartenders are never going to stay long. Honestly, the bar should have stretched to the...

This. Regular height barstools (not particularly comfortable ones at that) at a child-height bar. My knees were higher than my food.

The Citrus ... er ... Camping World Bowl, downtown.

Not enough, judging by what ends up in the outlet mall.

I don't really consider $15 at 5 Guys (not "great" by any stretch btw) on a par with $21. More than a 33% hike. Honestly, can get a better burger for about the same price only faster and with better customer service at Raglan Road.

Adventurers Club fans--tickets are now on sale for Adventures in Charity 2016, taking place Saturday, September 24 at the Holiday Inn LBV. Join us for an evening of live music and comedy with a cast of former Club actors, including Graham Murphy, Karl Anthony and Jay T. Becker. Tickets start...

Very good food, nice atmosphere. Be excite/warned, Saturday nights they do (or at least did) a drag show--very funny. A few blocks away but a similar vibe, I'd also recommend Cafe Tu Tu Tango. Mostly tapas, but again, very good, decorated with local artwork. Sometimes even have artists working...

Talking to non-lifestylers (i.e. CMs and friends who I trust to be objective)--JB show underwhelming to flat-out bad. Lighting on nighttime safari kewl but lucky to see more than three animals--heard that enough I think it applies no matter how many times you ride. I personally caught some of...

Was probably the rain or bad luck--just doesn't pull a crowd anymore. Calling it "overrated" implies it's still beloved. Jock's has replaced it in the hearts and minds of most lifestylers, and it's too obscure for the general public. Ended up there on the 1-year anniversary--coincidentally, my...

Usually a Subway, not a Starbucks. The area is more down-market than you might think. All the CMs have been priced out of SW Orange (think Westwood Blvd) and forced to move toward 27. I agree the million-dollar homes are domed to fail--particularly when they have NO GARAGE and are so close you...
