    From the OS: Gator drags child into Seven Seas Lagoon

    It was a tragic accident. They happen. WDW takes very reasonable precautions and has an entire department that deals with native wildlife. No ones fault. There's no place on Earth that is immune from accidents happening, no matter how well funded, guarded, warned and planned the place is. Why...

    Scammers in the parks

    We have a pet name for these type of folks and their spawn. We endearingly call them "Bufords" from the song at Country Bears. No idea how it started or why, but singing or humming the song that mentions not "whupping lil' Buford, but shooting him instead", gives us solace when we see them and...

    I never realized how long DVC has been around

    MKC was wonderful. My old employer offered it and it was enough of a lure to get us hooked on vacationing at WDW, which led to an eventual DVC purchase. Now...you just have to be all in.

    Cast Member Wages

    All true. You are SUPPOSED to "do the absolute best" you can for your family. That shouldn't have to be a revelation any more than the mom who says about her kids 'they aren't criminals', "I do what's right'. Why are these basic assumed behaviors and roles of parents and adults suddenly a...

    Mary Poppins Sequel in the works

    Literary executors can be persuaded if you wave enough money at them. That's my guess

    Aulani anyone?

    We stayed there a few months ago. I can't speak to if you got a deal or not as we used our DVC points, but it's certainly worth going to. The resort is beautiful and paradise-like, the staff is even better than what you experience at WDW resorts, right up there with DCL service and competency. I...

    Mary Poppins Sequel in the works

    Both "Captain America" and "Rocketeer" were directed by Joe Johnston. You DO need to see it. Pretty sure you'll love it. The Mary Poppins books are definitely a different tone than the '64 film. While not 'dark', they aren't saccharine either. I'd bet that if the new movie follows the feel of a...

    "Show" keeps getting worse

    There's a "world" of difference between a giant, broken Yeti or a busted major effect that lingers in it's 'busted-ness' and faded signs. One is a 'normal', understandable wear and tear sort of thing that hardly anyone would notice (unless you dig finding fault) and the other, especially after a...

    Mary Poppins Sequel in the works

    I'm grateful that "Civil War" and the MCU has at least some humor and humanity in it. They aren't as bleak and darkly epic as the DC stuff. I'm in a minority that I didn't think the Nolan/Bale Batman series was the greatest thing ever. Too dark for my taste. I read a lot of comics as a kid...

    Can/should/will they fix Kali's splash?

    I like the "Jungle Book" re-theming idea and especially a Christopher Walken voiced King Louie giant AA swatting at you. His voice and delivery though, even as a huge orangutan, is so distinctive that it'll just be him swatting at me. Can he ask for 'more cowbell'? or 'more splash'?

    And the hits keep coming for Carnival

    For families and folks who aren't into 24/7 parties...no way. For younger singles and couples, yeah, but it's a somewhat different crowd overall. But both have a multitude of dining options, stage shows, movies, bars, dance clubs, game shows and contests. Maybe it's the more sedate and...

    And the hits keep coming for Carnival

    Lifelong Clevelander and former Browns employee here. I've never understood it either.:confused:

    And the hits keep coming for Carnival

    And I can get three meals at McD's for the price of one entree at a decent eatery. Yup, Ronald is a popular brand and has 'millions' (actually billions) of loyal fans, but it's still McDonalds. If you're willing to overlook messy dining areas, filthy bathrooms, 'wrong order in the bag' syndrome...
