I've got to agree with sueuk. It's sad and scary but it does happen everywhere, including Disney. If nothing else, people will be more vigilant around their kids and not assume Disney is 100% safe.

Hee!! We're leaving tonight so I know exactly what I'm bringing: Backpack with: Rain ponchos (3 yrs old and still not ripped!) WDW spray/fan bottle camera wallet sunscreen hat I keep trying to make the bag lighter but those really are the bare essentials.

I am less than 100 hours away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are arriving Friday night and I did my online check in a couple of days ago. To be honest, it didn't seem like I was doing much more than verifying the other guests in our room and what credit card I wanted to use. So I'll be curious to see if it makes things go more quickly when we...

My obsession kicks in at about the 100 day mark. Provided the calendar for the month we are visiting has been posted, I start planning out which day we'll do which park so we can sort out ADRs. Once I make my ADRs then it's pretty constant until we leave.

I'll be there next Saturday! I'm looking forward to Tonga Toast and a Dole Whip, to Wishes, to forgetting its my 40th birthday and losing myself in my childhood. But mostly, to that walk through the tunnel, seeing Main Street unfold before my eyes and the first glimpse of the castle.

I would call and double check. That happened to me several years ago and it turned out that I had been charged twice for my package.

I'd say they are about as clean as any other public or private club pool. We belong to a pool club at home and a couple of weeks ago had an incident where a child vomited in the pool and it was closed for 3 hours. I've never had a problem with a Disney pool, but if a certain % of the...

We stayed at the Beach Club two years ago in June and never had a major issue with the buses. We did definitely share with Yacht Club, but only occasionally with Boardwalk and never with Swan or Dolphin. So it seems like it is time of year as well as time of day. Most of the AK buses do also...

Are you staying on property? When we have had a car on property, they've given us a pass to display. I would think as long as you have that you'd be okay.

I'm guessing times probably won't be set until the park hours are, but you probably won't be able to wander much farther than Main Street. The rope drop is right at the MS entrance to the Hub. However, you could be lucky enough to be the first in line at the rope drop when the park officially...

The most recent version of this CNN article http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/07/05/u.s.disney.monorail/index.html says that OSHA is involved in the investigation. Nothing on NTSB, though.

Without giving any credence as to whether an NTSB (or any other federal agency) investigation will happen, as an FAA employee I can say that yes, that sort of thing could happen in a crash investigation. If it does come down to a procedure failure as some have alluded to, then I can see OSHA...

This might be because of MNSSHP events. It's also possible they may add hours/parades as the time gets closer.

I would normally second taking 295 through DC, but there is currently construction on the VA side of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge that is making travel through that area difficult (esp if you come through AFTER rush hour which is when all of that gears up). If you have a GPS, make sure you have...

In the wake of other train crashes, it has become common to rule out human error first. In fact, it's far easier to address that first because mechanical failures take a lot longer to investigate. After the DC Metro train crash two weeks ago, one of the first things that NTSB released was the...

The Polynesian has enormous rooms, though it's an open format so not much to block the noise, light, etc.

Here's the clip: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/living/2009/07/03/am.obama.presidents.hall.cnn Spoiler warning: you do see/hear a small bit of Obama recording his speech.

A friend of mine recently stayed at the Fairfield Inn at the Marriott Village (they have several hotels within the complex). It's about a mile from the MK main gate and they offered a shuttle (for a small fee - I think it was around $7 a day) to the parks. But some of the other "Good Neighbor"...

Omg, I don't think I'll ever want to be at AK late at night again! :eek:
